REALLY SHORT but super hot!
I didn't wear it... so short (I'm almost 5' 9 -- and then with heels I added a couple inches. Even with black tights, it would have been bordering on obscene. I would have been tugging it down all night and totally screwed if I dropped anything. A shorter friend wore it instead and she looked HOT! It has tasteful V-neck (a glimpse, but not too much!) and really flattered her figure. The dress is not scratchy at all and has a little bit of give. I was happy this beautiful, fun dress got worn!

Lovely colors - runs big!
Order one size smaller. I wish I had! This dress has awesome colors/print and fun flowy fit... but it's so big that I could be super pregnant and still wear this. I paired it with leggings, booties and a moto jacket to try to give myself a waist.

Sadly, did not wear this.. didn't fit right.
I love the fabric/print & the length is great for a tall girl, but it's really low cut. With the keyhole top, I thought it would look weird with a camisole, so I'll send it back. Also - the dress zips up the side and it's quite tight under arms and across the bust (I'm DDD). Not that I'm hailing taxis anymore, but if I had to, I might rip the dress!

I tried midi, it's just not for me.
I'm 5'9" and this length makes me look like a sister wife. It's awkward. Way too tight across the chest too. I'm 38DD Love the print -- the doves are beautiful. Clearly the dress is well made. If you're smaller up top and know how to rock this length, go for it. I guess I'll just not trendy enough!

Way too small for me!
Granted, I should have ordered an XL. But... I am between sizes and based on reviews thought that the L would work. Not even close! The sleeves, chest & everything were super tight. Zipper was also a little iffy. It's super low cut and super short (I am 5'9"). Even with leggings and the bow strategically tied to block cleavage, this dress would be unwearable. If you have a smaller chest, and are a little shorter, this dress would be nice. It's a lovely color & print. Sadness that I could not wear at all. I still love you RTR!

Sleek, stylish + pockets!
Love this dress. Great for fall/winter with boots and tights. It has some stretch and nice, heavier fabric. Very comfortable!! Color is lovely and the neck tie is pretty.

Beautiful colors & pattern
JUST long enough to wear with leggings... barely (I'm almost 5'9"). I like this shirt alot, but didn't always love the puffy sleeves. Looks great with black pants, jeans, etc. Can be dressed up or down.

Woops.. I'm not pregnant!
I rented this because I love vests... they are the perfect layer -- and I had an outdoor event (a walk) coming up. I had no idea this was a maternity vest. It's awesome tho.. clearly, lots of room to grow (the side panels expand). Only complaint is that the pockets don't zip.

Awesome print!
Wearing this like a tunic w/leggings and boots. I'd wear as a dress, but not w/out tights. It would be too short (I'm approx 5'9"). Love the colors. The XXL is loose on me.. but feels & looks good. There was no XL to compare.

Stylish pop of color.. with pockets!
Loved this dress! Danced all night. I was comfortable, wore a normal bra, and didn't need spanx to feel good. Lots of compliments. I was worried about it being too short, but it was AOK. I'm almost 5'9"-- and it was a bit above the knee. Granted, I wouldn't have bent over to pick something up, but it was not risqué at all. The 14 had some room (under arms, etc), but I'd rather not have a tight dress across chest or hips. I liked a little extra room and it was still flattering. Paired with fun earrings and voila! Thanks RTR!!

Nicely made & fit well
Great shirt. I wish the color was more brilliant. It was a bit more rusty red than I thought.

Too much fabric!
This didn't work for me. Cut me in the wrong spots and generally looked bad. Pretty color and fun hi/lo hem. Might look better in winter, or if I was pregnant..

Beautiful & comfortable!
This was my backup and I'm so thankful! I wore it to a formal wedding and felt amazing. Love the fabric, stretch, elegant arm cover and slight mermaid flair. I wore a normal bra (yay) and used fashion tape to keep the straps in place. I did wear high waisted spanx to smooth out as well -- since the dress is a little more fitted on hips/tush (but not tight!). Very flattering. Lots of compliments. I also rented Marchesa earnings and an Art Deco cuff, plus an iridescent Rebecca Minkoff clutch. All lovely! 14L was great - a little room under arms, but fit well overall. I didn't try on the 12 since this was my backup. Amazing service at the Georgetown store where i picked up. Thank you RTR!!!!
