Gorgeous holiday dress
Wore this to a holiday party and loved it. Just enough sparkle - elegant and fun. Agree with prior reviews on fit - it’s not for everyone. Fits tight at the waist, fitted through hips and top needed safety pin or fashion tape for the top. Typically a 6 and medium fit well.

Fun dress
Usually a 6 and could have worn small or medium, went with small. Lots of compliments - not at all form fitting, but the slit and open shoulder add some edge. Colors are pretty. Wore to a holiday party

Great work dress (maternity and not)
Wore this while pregnant (2nd trimester) and kept renting it - fun, flattering, pretty pattern. Loved it so much that I bought it and still wear 1 year post baby. Great for work or a party

Elegant and easy
Very cute, forgiving, and chic. I loved it. Agree with others it’s a little short but not so much that I couldn’t wear it

Not that special
More casual than looks online. I wasn't a fan. Fun, but not special

Too short for daytime bridal shower
I rented this for a daytime bridal shower and couldn't wear it. I'm 5'8", and the dress was short for the occasion (shower was hosted by work colleagues). It also has tulle built in to the skirt which gave it a little more of a kiddie vibe than I was going for. Cute dress, but was a little different in person than the photo would suggest. Not for me.

Fun party dress
Got this dress for a weekend in Vegas and it was perfect for the occasion. Agree with other reviewers- dress is REALLY short! Probably not a dress for a wedding/anything conservative for tall women. Color is gorgeous- I got tons of complements. The 6 wasn't as form fitting as I expected- wish I'd ordered the 4 as backup. At the same time, 4 may have been too short to wear. Fun, cute party dress.

Fun casual dress
Definitely runs a little big-- I'm normally on the 6 side of the 4-6 range, and even the 4 was big. Adorable dress-- flirty, fun, beautiful color. Definitely seemed more casual in person than it did online. Was back-up for my engagement photos and didn't wear it because I loved my original, but I would wear it for date night or a daytime event.

Cute dress, was too big to wear
Pattern is fun and adorable for a spring/summer daytime event. Ordered as my back-up dress in a 6 (my usual), but was too big at the top to wear. Would rent the 4 in the future, but worry that it'll be short.

Loved it.
Fit well, true to size- the fabric was elegant, and the color great for a winter wedding. I couldn't move my arms with reckless abandon due to the more fitted top and delicate lace, but the dress was plenty comfortable.

Elegant, fun, loved it
Dress is beautiful- wore it to a fall wedding and felt like million bucks. I was nervous because I normally wear a 6, and RTR only had a 4 and a 8, but the 4 worked (very fitted at top). Fabric is pretty heavy/thick-- was great for fall. The color was gorgeous. I wished I owned it!

Great summer dress!
Wore this dress to my college reunion. Fit really well and was easy to dance in. Bright and cheery but not too loud. Got lots of compliments- wish I owned it!

Fun party dress!
I wore it for my birthday and really loved this dress. I agree that it's more cobalt than i expected and less purple, but I liked the bold color. It was much more sparkly than I expected. It's fun and comfortable and flattering-- tight at the chest, but flowy elsewhere. The 6 was a little tight at the bust. If you're well-endowed, maybe not a bad idea to order up a size.
