Just too big
This dress fit soooo large. The shoulders were very wide and it looked sloppy on me. I had high hopes based on the photo but it did not look good on. And as someone who likes orange this was even a bit too orange for me. I’d skip this one.

Cute but big
I was surprised at how large this felt. I am typically a 4 but occasionally size up to a 6 in certain brands. I rented a 4 and it is large around my waits/lower back and hip area. It’s a beautiful dress and I like the material, color and cut but I really needed a size 2 here. The sleeves also threaten to fall off the shoulders so wearing a bra is a bit of a challenge. I may rent again in a smaller size.

Love the color and adjustable straps!
Omg I loved this soooo much! It was maybe a tiny bit loose in the waist/underbust but not unwearably so or noticeable to the naked eye. The color is gorgeous for spring and o always enjoy adjustable straps!

Love the colors!
Great dress, i sized up to a 6 because I generally need that with Saloni but I could’ve stuck with a 4. The front is very low so will need to wear a bandeau to keep it appropriate!

Beautiful but long straps!
So this is more causal than I expected based on the pictures but it is stunning all the same! I’m a 4 and sized up to a M but probably could’ve worn the S. The straps are very long and not adjustable, which is why I rated this 4 stars vs. 5

One of my all time faves!
I’ve rented a lot of dresses with RTR and rarely write reviews. I rented this once in August 2022 and just purchased it. The sleeves are amazing and the color has this silvery glow to it. I’m obsessed and so glad to finally call this beauty mine!

Great Easter Dress!
I wore this for Easter brunch with a white lace bandeau underneath. Extremely low cut for someone with a larger bust (I’m 32dd) and would’ve been inappropriate without the bandeau. With it, it looked perfect, modest and beautiful.

Love the sleeves!
I’m a fan of big sleeve energy so this was a perfect dress for me! Great fit and cute tie back. Wish I could buy this one!

Bust was quite large
Loved this dress but could not wear as the bust was very large. I probably need to size down to a 2 if I want to wear this. Beautiful dress and lovely layers, but just runs big up top.

Beautiful colors!
I wore this to work and the leg slit was a little higher than I was comfortable with so I used fabric tape. Great colors and gives a lovely silhouette!

Very large up top
Compared to other Maje dresses this ran huge! The top was baggy and extremely unflattering. I love skirt and it looked nice even with the extra fabric, but the top made me look like an old school marm. Sad because the print is adorable

Tons of Compliments
I’ve almost never had more compliments than I did wearing this. Someone called me “majestic”. The color and layers are awesome! I’d rent this again but I’d definitely size down. I’m a 4 or 6 typically, I rented a 4 and it was too large in the waist. I ended up belting it which worked ok but would’ve preferred to wear it without a belt.

Rent this Dress!
I loved this dress so much! It was very flattering on my hourglass shape. I tried a size 1 and 2 and they fit similarly but the one was a slightly better fit around my waist. I’m holding onto this one to wear a few more times.

Runs super large
This was one of the largest dresses I've ever rented. It fit like a tent, and the torso was incredibly long. I'm between a 4 and a 6 and the 4 was so large I don't even think a 0 would fit me. In addition, it is clearly made for someone very tall, as the waistline hit on upper hip area (I'm 5'3). Loved the pattern but sadly this was not useable
