Hello autumn
I suspect because this designer also makes plus size clothes Tanya Taylor has a keen taste for how to make dresses fit in flattering ways. I'm typically a 2 but my postpartum bod is a 4 though this dress fit me comfortably in a 2. The gathered seam at the side makes the dress fitted at the ribcage and then fall loosely over the stomach area. Even with a lighter material the skirt still flares out nicely for some flirty hips. The small buttons at the sleeves are just wonderful details. I paired with tall slouchy chocolate leather wedge heel boots. Ready for fall!

Shapely
The material is interwoven with elastic so it stretches and is stiff at the same time making a nice firm shape. The ruffles on the bottom stay solidly puffed

Who wears sateen polyester? And way too small
I didn't expect the fabric to be so thin and shiny. And it was so small I couldnt even wrap it closed.

Pretty. On the heavier side
If earrings weighed nothing, I'd have them all. These looked lovely but I can't recommend earrings that pull my earlobes. Worn once and sadly returned.

90's reminds me of Delia*s
I really wanted to love this dress because yes the 90s. I wore with Keds and the size was just right. BUT I am a skinny girl with a little tum and I don't wear Spanx. This dress somehow really accentuated my bell so that I looked pregnant. A little embarrassing.

Just lovely
Feels like quality. Lined thick. The shoulder straps add a lovely touch. I didn't need a bra, the top practially holds you up like a bustier. Flowy where it should be and tight where it should be. A perfect dress really.

Size up. The color is good depending on skin tone
I personally like this color. Would need to size up though.

Day to night. No frills. Trending look
I wear a 2 and would have been more comfortable in the S. Not too long for the petite girl. The black pleather racing stripe is a fun touch and sort of makes it easy to wear with a dressier black top if you so choose. I went with a casual grey top. Wide, snug elastic band.

unexpected hem, cutouts, trim, and draping
There's so much in this one blouse! The sleeves have a lovely small bell that tucks neatly into a wrist closure. The shoulder cut out is in a unique location and trimmed with beautiful lace-like elastic that looks snug but lets you move your arms. The draping on the front adds interest and sort of gives an upside down triangle effect.

Flirty. Light. Tight sleeve buttons
Flouncy. Make it deep cut or sweet with an under-layer. Sandals or heels any color! My wrists are small and this was snug buttoning on my wrist

Size up 2 sizes. I hadto wear this on my natural waist. Once have a proper fit, youll be the talk of the town with this beaut. I had to wear taller heels to keep this from touching the ground. Worn with suede burnt orange platforms and a navy top

70s vibe
I wore this with a loose skinny belt and cotton knee highs. Killer. The string from the bell sleeves tends to get pulled and undone if you cant make a decent knot.

Artsy pop
Easily worn with a black top and bold color bottom. The Calder/deconstructed style earring would often twist on its attachment so that people thought my earring was broken. Not heavy feeling at all and a solid wide backing provides generous support. Simple way to spice up an understated outfit.

Awkward
I'm a 34C/32D, had no problem with fit on the extra small. I tried this with highwaisted blue jeans however I couldn't make it look cute. It made my chest look flat and the ruffle should've been smaller for a petite frame.

Brunch to beach
Flouncy romper that's not too flimsy. As others have said, the front gaps widely so you either have to be OK with showing a bathing suit underneath, wear a tank top, or find a quick way to keep it closed.

Covers everything while looking sharp
This fit a little loose so I felt comfortable throughout the day but with tighter black pants and some black boots, it looked sharp overall. The loose fit was not at all a negative- if anything, it was just enough to make it interesting while still appearing fitted.

Must be ok with shoulder pads
Fun but I wish the shoulder pads were removable. It was hard to make this casual with such a strong silhouette.

YUUGE
This doesn't "fit like a robe" as others have said. It's just cut humongous so that it looks like you ordered 3 sizes too big. I can't even recommend you size down. The sleeves are too long, the shoulders come out 3" past my shoulders, the back is so baggy I could cover a bookbag comfortably, the front puffs out on the sides. All that being said, it's super comfy and I'd wear it f I was sick.

Too small
I'm a 2/4 and the XS was too small for me- the pockets were straining and since I was already going out on a limb with this style, the tightness around my low abdomen made it look even stranger.

Marilyn Monroe!
The skirt ruffles and small cap sleeves add a feminine touch to a black dress- which I typically am afraid of wearing for fear of looking too serious. This gave me a nice hourglass shape when sometimes I feel a little boxy in the midsection. At the end of the day, someome told me my outfit was reminiscent of Marylin Monroe!

Modest yet Sexy
This was not something I'd typically pick- black lace with a high neck? I thought it would look too dominatrix-y or Victorian on me but nope- just all around amazing. Somehow the dress balances intrigue and flirtatiousness with elegance and class. I have skinny arms so the sleeves were also just right.

Springtime innocence
It's just right for work in the springtime- everything's covered and since I'm 5'3", the length wasn't too short. The pink color pops out nicely. My husband joked that it's a grandma look with the doily-type pattern but I don't care.

Flirty bird lady haha
I accidentally put it on without my right arm in the sleeve and had the sleeve tucked into my pants. Once my friend pointed it out, we laughed and then when I put it on the right way, we realized it was better the first time around! The pattern is so busy no one would notice and honestly- what a great look!

Makes any basic piece more interesting
The fit was confusing- I am a 2 so it was snug on my hips but loose on my waist. Anyway theres so much pattern and color going on that no one would notice the gap. I'd still rent it again.

Interesting from top to bottom
I felt like I was wearing 3 different pieces and getting away with one. As others have said, the middle belt has no give but it's high enough on my ribs that the belly's not a problem. FYI, the lattice at the chest and back has an opaque skin-colored layer underneath of a medium-fair tone

Fun! Good coverage in the back while still short in and fun in front
Make sure you center the dress so the back pocket is on your right butt. Once you get it on right, it makes a skinny girl look like she actually has something going on down there!

Nice fall color, nice fit
-The color is more of a dusty red, which I found paired better with more tops anyway -It's actually a wool-stretch blend, dunno why RTR's listing states differently. Surprisingly it's 98% wool and 2% lycra but you'd NEVER know based on the feel and shape. It's a thinner fabric that moves with you

Flirty but sweet
I'm 5'3" and this was still a nicely short skirt to still make me feel like I was showing something behind an otherwise modestly cut dress. Totally comfortable, nowhere tight but cut just right to reveal a feminine silhouette. I'm thinking I'll pick this up again for Easter.

Breezy. Goes with lots of colors on top
Took all my solid tops to another dimension! Make sure to wear with platforms for the length. The lining is shorts-length which bothered me at first because you can see it if you look close but it kept the polyester pants cool for warm evenings.

A color I'd never normally buy
Everyone was loving the green and I couldn't believe that I could actually pull it off! I'm also surprised that the "regular" length hit just right for me a little below the ankle. I'm excited I found a new favorite designer in Adelyn Rae and it's totally affordable to buy. Only thing was the clasp at the back of the neck got a little tight if I sat down the wrong way and it's liable to come undone.

For a tall person with no bum
I think this dress expected my torso to be much longer because it had about an extra 4" of loose fabric on the back straps. Though my bottom isn't wide, I found XS was too small around my hips.
