love love LOVE!!!
I absolutely loved this dress...really contemplated buying it! I wore it twice to brunch and then a patio dinner with friends. The slit is nice and high so it makes it a bit sexy without being "too much." The fabric is a little shiny and no stretch but it fit my hourglass shape great!

Nice
Nice dress. My husband said it best: "That dress makes your boobs look huge!" Probably a better dress for the smaller chested as 36D was really accentuated in this dress...not cleavage just cling. Nice dress though and flows great when you walk...great to wear to the office on a Spring day in Texas. Didn't really fit my waist (super loose) but still enough shape it didn't feel like a bag.

SHORT!
LOVE LOVE LOVE this dress! I was so sad to not be able to wear it. I'm an hour glass and 5'9". While the dress looked great from the front, I realized the lace cut out (supposed to be mid-thigh) hit me super high (as in crossed my bottom). Didn't even hit me below the m=bum so totally unwearable. So sad to send back. That said...the length was great so I'm not sure who this would fit unless you have a really short torso and long legs (?)

Versatile!
I'm on the taller side and this was a solid mid-calf length so might be hard for more petite frames. On my hourglass shape, I wish the waist was more defined but still a great dress overall. There are two high slits on each leg (in the front) that don't show in the stock photo so depending on your event, maybe not great. I wore to dinner with my husband than another out with a group for a fun night out. Easy and light to wear during the summer.

Easy Dress
Nice dress...lots of compliments but I felt like it was a little too full in the skirt. I have an hourglass shape and while the waist was lovely (slightly short waisted if you're tall), the skirt made me look much more hippy than usual. That said, there's a snap at the bust so made it great for work. I went from work to a dinner with the girls on a patio and let the snap go for a less conservative look. Overall a great dress!

All Wrong
This dress is super shiny in person. It's also a bit more narrow in cut than I expected. I got this for a celebratory brunch but was really disappointed in how shiny the fabric was. Think 80s satin. But for a wedding or more formal event this could work, just not my taste with the shine. I couldn't not have worn the dress anyway though as the waist was huge and the hips were too tight. Not the flowy maxi I was hoping for.

Super straight dress
I loved everything about this dress! Really wish it would have fit! It looks great in photo for an hourglass but it's actually quite "straight" in shape. I'm usually a solid 10 in dresses with a classic hourglass shape. This dress was huge in the waist and super tight in the hips. The picture I think doesn't demonstrate this well. I probably could have made the waist work with tie but the cotton fabric just didn't allow for any give in the hips...was a beautiful dress but for someone with a straighter figure.

Lovely
This dress is great for spring! Super stretchy and curve loving so overall very flattering. The ruffles are well placed so as not to add to the booty too much! I'm a tall hourglass and this dress hit just below the knee with a long torso overall. The one problem with the dress is that the dress itself is knit and very sheer. I comes with an underslip which is great but it was pretty short on my frame (just barely covered my bum). For work, I got by sitting at my desk a lot but felt a bit self conscious walking around the office that the dress was too revealing for work attire. Beautiful dress though!

Not my favorite
This sweater is a great length for tall girls! It runs oversized but that comes off somewhat unflattering given the bulk of the sweater. Not sure how anyone could wear it over both shoulders as the V is VERY wide. I wore it over one, off one. Wasn't flattering to my hourglass shape at all but was a fun color. It's way more pink than the picture shows...like a raspberry shade. it was nice and warm though (except the cold shoulder:).

BOOBS!
Oh my goodness this dress! I borrowed this for a second honeymoon trip to the Caribbean and this dress delivered the "sexy" I was looking for... Not sure I'd wear it anyway else but was great for what I was looking for. The top opens up quite a bit though and I used fashion tape to make sure I didn't have a wardrobe malfunction! I showed a lot of cleavage but was a fun dress to wear. NOT for the faint of heart...

Beautiful fabrication!
This house is just beautiful but the fit a a little different. I borrowed this hoping I could wear to work and then out to dinner that weekend. The sleeves are cut rather large though and showed way too much chest for work. While those were large the chest was a "just barely" fit for me so I couldn't size down. For my evening out with my husband though it was perfection! Loved this just wish the arms were cut a little better!

Cute but way too short for me. I have a long torso though and 36D chest so maybe someone more petite this would be super cute on. Great casual shirt otherwise!

Too big
I borrowed this on my subscription for a dinner with my husband...nothing special just thought it would be ice to wear something "new." the length was great on me at 5'9" but the torso was just too baggy. I couldn't make it work. Also, I usually love how striped accentuate my hourglass figure but these did nothing for me...not sure it just was a miss for me.

So lovely
This brand always works great for me....hugs my hourglass perfectly! With the empire waist on this I opted for a size larger than usual as I have a long torso but the rest of it was a bit loose. I wore it anyway to work and then to a school/parent mixer and received compliments all day/evening so the loose fit didn't seem to matter! Great dress and brand!

I was so disappointed I couldn't wear this. It's absolutely gorgeous in person but when I tried it on, it was GIGANTIC! Easily could have sized down one or maybe even two sizes. Soo disappointed.

Too Many Ruffles
I'm a feminine woman and I always love a ruffle but this dress just didn't work for me. I have a true hourglass shape and the ruffles just camouflaged any shape I had. I loved the color but this dress looked awful on me. Super stretch though and I always love that in a garment! Color was fabulous too.

LOVE!!!!!
Wow how I LOVED this dress! sparkly with fabulous detail. Not too sparkly though and I was able to wear it to work. Every female patient that day complimented the dress! A new patient even told me "Wow you don't dress like a doctor..." (but clearly she doesn't know me:). After work, I met my husband for a business dinner he had and his male executive colleagues (who I see fairly frequently) all complimented the dress. I can tell you their wives all dress impeccably so the bar is high for them. There's great stretch in this so it hugged by hourglass perfectly. In the RTR picture, it makes the model's waist look a little thick I think and I was worried about this but it had the opposite effect on me...accentuated the hourglass. I'm tall and the length was great for me so it may be a little too long on anyone <5'6." When both men and women love it though you know it's a hit!

Nice top
This is a nice tope for tall ladies... I wore it to work one day and with jeans another. For me, I had a hard time matching it up with anything in my closet. It's shiny and voluminous and I'm an hourglass. Would be super cute with super skinny legs in skinny white or black pants...just not my JLo bod!

The price was good, the color was great and the length was a DREAM for this long torso girl! I wore with boot cut jeans and between the plunging suplice neck and the way it hugged my hourglass...my husband's eyes popped out and he insisted I purchase this! LOVED how it fit me!

So different!
I rented this to coordinate with the Trina Turk evergreen dress for work and was going to my daughter's class christmas party (kindergarten) during the day. Received so many compliments but I will say the colors on the bag were not quite as expected. The green is more of a sage undertone than a true forest green. I wrote it with the dress anyway and loved t!

never wore it
While this looks nice and long, it barely went past my waist in the L (I can usually wear M but ordered the L for extra room). I tried and tried to pull it down but just wouldn't work for me. Also the shoulder kept rolling up and looked strange if I moved at all. I changed before I even left the house but wish it would have worked!

Feminine!
I felt very feminine in this dress. I wore it at home for Christmas Eve with my family/parents. The sleeves are beautiful but was really worried I'd catch fire trying to cook in them. I kept having to hold them out of the way but I doubt too many others would try to cook in this!! I went bless which made it uber comfy but I will say it fit me a little more like a mum than a fitted maxi. The "waist" is a band just below the bust but it was pretty big (even for the rib cage) and didn't add much form to the dress. The skirt is also VERY full and adds a few inches across the hips as well. I don't think a size down would have fit length wise as the chest length was barely long enough. At 5'9" the 10R fit perfectly with flats so roller girls definitely need the Long if you want to wear this with heels. It was a great dress for a "home for the holidays" dinner but I doubt I would have worn it out. Very feminine but too much of a mumu for my taste to wear out. really pretty though!

nice
I'm pretty tall with a long torso so sometimes this length jacket hits me in the wrong place and definitely hit me higher than in the model. It has a hi-low hemline though so was more flattering with the lower hem in the back. There's a hook at the waist which gives some definition too. The color is not nearly as vibrant cranberry as the picture shows...mine was a washed out dull pinkish red but perhaps just faded/worn?? Not like the picture though. The leather ties kept getting caught in my car door, deal drawer etc and there's no way I could have gone out to dinner without dragging the ties through the plates. All in all a nice piece but probably wouldn't rent again.

too big
Love this brand and the dresses always fit me very well and true to size. This skirt was surprisingly big...as in huge in the waist. Given the super stretch this fabric has, I figure I'll go down a couple sizes and should be great! Love the style...

Wanted to wear it
This is a really interesting blouse and I debated for a while if I could wear it or not. The sleeves are more of a cape style which I didn't realize which would make it hard to work in for me. But I would do it...the style is actually quite fitted and was snug against my small waist so definitely need to be an hourglass for this style. My issue (and why I couldn't wear it)...it was just a bit short waisted for me and just didn't look right as a result. This is definitely not for taller girls. I'm 5'9" and suggest this for <5'6" to be proportioned right... or if you're short waisted. Really cool top though! On the flip side...the picture makes it look one color which I think it's supposed to be. The sheer fabric on mine was faded and not in a way that looked color blocked...just worn out.

Almost fabulous
This dress was a dream AND long enough! At 5'10" I wore the 10L w 4 in heels and could have worn 100mm just fine. The color was fabulous...so many compliment but the fabric will pull easily. Mine still had the tags attached but by the end of a 4 hr evening, the hem had come undone and there was slight pilling (already!) just from wearing my coat! I loved the dress but probably wouldn't have loved it less than new...

Pretty but not fabulous
The best part of this dress is obviously the back...that was gorgeous how it laid. The overall fit was true to size and the stretch was perfect for an hourglass shape. That said, the size zipper would NOT lay flat. It wasn't tight there (a little loose) so maybe that's why? But it was right on the hip at the size so to have this pooching out on one side just didn't work. I ended up wearing something else but wished this had worked!

Beautiful dress...great colors for fall. The skirt has stretch so great for hourglass figures. The waist was a little big for me but that's not unusual and didn't really matter too much as the top is more a blouson style.

This is such a great top! The side lacing is so well done! Unfortunately I have a very balanced hourglass shape and the side ties there me out of balance and made my hips look too wide. Sadly...I couldn't wear it.

Fun dress
This dress runs really large! I'm usually a size 10 or L and 5'10" and ordered a M based on reviews. It was still big! But overall a really fun dress with great crochet detail. I wore with a crop denim jacket to give it some shape as it just hangs a bit. Not sure I'd rent again but was fun for a day in San Diego.
