Gorgeous colors and print but short
Amazing colors and print and I just love long-sleeved dresses at the moment. However for my 5'11" height this dress was "mini". Unfortunately so mini that I didn't feel comfortable wearing it. I wish you would carry longer lengths. I feel like Long lengths used to be a thing and all I see lately are R lengths. I would love to see some longer options for us Tall ladies.

For a petite lady
I wanted to love this so much. However it fit nothing like the picture. I ordered the Large because I wanted a very breezy fit. I planned to wear this as my errand dress with cute white sneakers. I did wear it once but regretted it. The sleeves were 3/4s on me, NOT what is pictured but 3-4 inches shorter than that. Also, the length shows knee-length in the picture and this most definitely was not even near the knee. Again, sizing felt like Petite? Very disappointed, not as advertised.

Easy Fall Transition Dress
I loved the fit of this dress. The length was perfect for booties and the colors were spot on for Fall. My only hesitation in giving it the full 5 stars is that when worn - and this could be me - it looked a little dowdy. I only wore it once as I felt like it didn't have enough of a modern edge about it to offset the floral print. Absolutely appreciated the length of this dress because at 5'11" I was able to wear heels and it still felt full in length.

Poor quality and fit
I have purchased from MM many dresses in the past and foudn them to be very high quality with impeccable fit. This dress missed the mark all around. While tall at 5'11", that's never been an issue before. This dress came mid-thigh on me (unlike what's pictured on the model) and the narrowness of the chest left too much "arm cleavage". The fabric around the neck never laid flat - a result of poor construction as I tried ironing several times. I almost wondered if this dress was mis-sized and possibly a 10 petite...

Too tight in the bust
Despite renting a size larger than I normally wear the chest of this dress was so tight! It also wrinkles very easily and is a bit heavy.

Nice print and style of dress but odd fit
This dress ran large. I am normally between an 8 and 10 depending on the cut. I rented the 10R and it was huge. The sleeves have elastic that was super tight on my arms too and by the end of the work day had left marks. The fabric was so light that a slight breeze blew it up and around and it didn't hang well without a slip. I wouldn't rent this again.

Awesome dress but pear shapes beware
Loved this dress. Very figure flattering. Only negative is the underskirt is very fitted and for my pear shape, I had to constantly pull it down. I would order a size up next time

Loved this bag. Pretty sure it was brand new. Plenty of space for workday stuff. Great size and fun to have the florals in winter.

Beautiful color and print but too short
I loved the colors of this dress for my fall work rotation. I live in Florida and can get away with dresses with no tights during Fall. I ordered the Large (usually a Medium) because I wanted it to be roomy instead of too fitted on my bottom half. The dress fit really well but my 5'11" height made it way too short for work. Better suited for shorter ladies or with tights. Otherwise a gorgeous dress!

I loved the color, print and detailing at the waist. I wore it for casual occasions.
I had to pin the front closed. I'm a 36B and there was just too much skin showing!

Runs very small
I ordered the M which is my size across numerous brands. I think this top was mis-sized or just runs incredibly small. The arm holes were super narrow making them very tight on my average arms. The sleeves were too short and overall the top just didn't work. I would recommend sizing up one whole size and beware if you're tall (I'm 5'10") because it runs short.

Cute top but a little big
I loved this top. Cute take on the cold shoulder. I did feel like the top was a little large in the chest. I'm a 36B. Bending over gave a clear shot down my top!

Dress it up, dress it down - I loved this top!
This is a great top - beautiful deep navy with on-trend sleeves. I wore it to the office for casual Friday and another time for drinks with friends. Would love to own this piece!

Very interesting fabric but awkward fit
This dress wore like a paper bag. It fit well up top, coming nearly to my neckline which was flattering. The A-line shape of the dress is almost overstated and it flipped out a bit on the bottom. Because of the stiffness of the fabric it also bunched up when walking or sitting, making me appear like I had a belly.

Just the pop of print I needed to stand out at a conservative financial conference.
Fits perfect, tts. Quality feel and fit. Wore with black Theory wide leg pant and it was a great conference outfit. Thank you RTR!

Cute and casual
I wanted this for Easter Weekend events and was happy with the dress overall. The cut and length was good for me (5'10") and I wore it to an afternoon event with flats. The top was a little big, even in the size 8 but I have a small chest. The lining in the skirt was wonderful and the hemline very detailed and pretty.

I'm 5'10", 160 and pear shaped with 34B chest. I wore flats since it only came in Regular length. This dress fit and flattered like a dream. I hosted brunch at my home and this dress was comfortable but I still felt dressed up.
