Grrrrr Cheetah
I love Ronny Kobo! I got this dress as a replacement and I loved everything about it….except it is see through in the right light (though it doesn’t appear to be in this picture). Ive learned my lesson to always check! It has two thin mesh layers. A longer layer on the outside and the layer underneath is like a sheer mini slip dress. If I would have had an additional slip dress or slip skirt, I totally would give this 5 stars, but there was no time to run out before my event. Didn’t wear…..this time!

I wasn’t sold on the pattern of this dress, but I am so glad I rented it! It is a slightly heavier material (didn’t wear a bra), perfect for a cool night out. It is form fitting, but not suffocating. The colors are beige, coral, and wine.

Compression, yes!
Based on the reviews comparable to my size I ordered a medium and large. There was no zipping the medium and I needed two extra hands to zip the large. Once it was on, it did not feel suffocating. It is very form fitting (thicker fabric) and no need for shapewear! The slit lies on the right leg. I wish it would have been more towards the front but it runs directly down the side seam. I was afraid the ruffle was going to be too much, but it was just the right amount of “extra”.

Wear a slip!
I wore this for a military funeral. I felt the navy and gold buttons were fitting. Beautiful dress, slight stretch. I LOVED it! Until…..I was informed you could see my underwear! I check! I always check! Though it had an interior liner, it is NOT enough! I was mortified to know the whole congregation saw my rear end as I spoke from the altar!

Bright and beautiful
Fabric is stretchy, but also fitting. Loved the bold print and color! I feel like it can be worn with or without shape wear.

Get it! You won’t regret it!
I went out of my comfort zone and got this for a formal event! I am 5’6” and ordered ML. I wore 3 inch heels and it just barely grazed the floor. I did not zip up or clasp the neck because I felt like it was too snug, so having my hair down hid that, and dress stayed put all night even dancing! The fabric is a thin mesh on the arms but everywhere else is thicker almost giving a “shape wear” feel. I loved the ruching at the pelvic area and on the bum! It is more of a maroon/wine color.

Size down
Dress concept very fun, however a M was so large I felt like I was wearing a sack! Definitely size down if you want any kind of shape.

Mini skirt-long dress combo
I was so excited to wear this dress! Initially I thought there is no way this dress is going to fit, but the fabric is very stretchy. There is just the right amount of leg to show between the (mini) skirt and the longer skirt. Im 5’6” and I tried it on with cowboy boots and the skirt was dragging on the floor! I thought a small would be shorter in length unfortunately it was unavailable. Hopefully I can find somewhere to try this dress again because it was super fun and comfortable!

Cute, heavy fabric, no zipper
I wore to a business casual work dinner banquet. I am 5’7” and usually a size 10-12. I wore high espadrilles to make it more “casual” and fill in the length of the pant legs so they wouldn’t drag. Based on reviews, I rented both the L and XL. I couldn’t even get the L over my hips, so I had to go with the XL. Initially I liked the fit. The thicker (and warmer) fabric was forgiving, sucked in all the right places, and I didn’t need a bra (win!). However, as the night wore on the weight of the fabric seemed to loosen the fit. I was constantly adjusting the bust area, lifting the pants from getting stuck under my shoes, as well the seam in the butt constantly kept shifting. Lastly, plan on holding your bladder! You have to wiggle out of the jumpsuit every bathroom break! A side zipper would have been so helpful!

Prairie sexy with pockets!!
Wore this to a country concert. Sheer fabric throughout, however skirt is double the fabric so oddly not see through. Slit on both sides makes you feel a little less matronly and a lot more sexy!! You could opt for pasties, bandaids, tape, etc. but I went with a sheer black bra. Buttons go from neck to torso so can be opened as much as you like. The best part….this dress has pockets (durable enough for cell phone and lip gloss, but nothing heavier to weigh fabric down) so I didn’t need to bother with a purse!!! Reference 38-36-42

Athletic sequence curve hugging disco ball!
This was my first time using RTR and it didn't disappoint! The dress was so fun! Definitely not something you wear everyday. I loved the neckline and the stretch of the fabric. Warning!!! It is very tight for fitting. I mean it will show every curve you've got! No need for a bra especially since fabric is thicker. Felt amazing!
