So fun
I wore this to a mid-October indoor/outdoor wedding. It was perfect for the occasion. The slit was a little high when sitting down but so fun for walking around. I wore the dress with brown ankle boots. I ordered the 6 because it was the only size available for my dates--and I was surprised that it zipped up and fit! The sleeves were tighter than I would have liked but otherwise no complaints for the size I didn't think would fit post-pandemic. This dress definitely felt more like a style-fun dress than one I wore because it made me look super good. I had fun in it!

Great classic fit with a little unique pattern
Great dress! I wore it for friends' engagement party. It fit really well--good for a girl with hips. Also, it isn't so poofy around the bottom half that it makes you look too big. It fit really well and had just enough interest to make it fun. I received many compliments! I'm usually a 6 but went with the 4 because it was forgiving in the hips. The dress hit right at the knee--great for a conservative event.

Good basic dress, a little matronly
I received this dress as a last-minute overnight backup dress. It fit true to size (I'm a 6) and I would have worn it if the other dress didn't work. However, this dress made me feel a bit older than I was, and I wanted to look cute! This would be good for a conservative work affair.

Great dress with a little sparkle!
I received this dress about 3 hours before my event--it was overnighted because my original pick wasn't available. What a relief to have a dress that was a great fit (a true to size 6 for me--5'4", about 140lbs). The beading was subtle but added a little bit of sparkle and didn't bother me under my arms. If I had realized that there were POCKETS on the dress before leaving for the ceremony I wouldn't have needed a purse. The fabric is a bit stiff but the right amount--it puffs out just a bit so it isn't tight around the hips. If you're like me and a small on top and a medium/large on bottom, this is a great dress that will show off your waist and not cling to your hips OR make them look large(r). Thanks RTR! Crisis averted!

LOVE it
I've now rented this dress twice--once in navy and once in this teal color. It is such a great dress! It's comfortable and cute, and you don't have to worry about wearing Spanx or anything underneath. The fabric is heavy enough to make it non-clingy. I'm now looking at where I can buy this dress because I am so sad to send it back!

Cute dress
I rented this for a wedding but when I got it--it was way too short to wear to a wedding (regardless of the season). If you have a butt--it will make it even shorter! This would be a really cute dress for a different type of party (birthday party, bachelorette party...) just not a wedding.

Cute dress but not really for winter
I got this dress as well as another for a November wedding, and I ended up wearing the other one. This was cute, though, and may do well for a winter daytime event. It fit well and was very flattering without being too bright or distracting!

Loved it!
I read all the reviews and decided to stick to my normal size for this dress--I have an average chest and a small waist, so I figured I would be fine with this. (It didn't touch my big hips so that was great). It fits really well and it is super cute! It does look a little sheen-y in pictures, but it's just because the fabric has some kind of satin in it. It was great for a November wedding!
