LOVELY fit
I love this dress and wore it even though it is december in Michigan. Beautiful pattern and the lines are great. This was very work appropriate for this high school teacher and a few students commented on how much they liked it. The tie in the middle was a great detail. Feels like like linen, but didn’t get wrinkled much at all. Great movement. Love it!

Could have been cute
So I wanted to wear this to work, but I would have at least needed to size up one level. Right in the waist area, but kind of bunched in weird ways. There were several other dresses that came in my latest round that worked better, so I just sent this one back.

First Choice!
This dress is one of my favorites from RTR because: It has pockets. It was very flattering - fitted on top, but flared for comfort on the bottom. Easy to sit down in and plenty of movement when dancing. It has a very unique and striking back. It's formal - LBD esque, but the pattern is eye catching. I wore this with a backless bra, but the material is a sturdy type that wouldn't require a bra. I also liked that it didn't require much jewelry wise to look dressed up. Rent this dress!

Not for me
So, like some others noted already, the material and seams on the bust area were wonky. The dress overall ran true to size. Material was very pretty and light, but honestly, I think it just washed me out. I'm pretty pale, so this dress didn't so much for me.

Beautiful full length
I LOVE this dress. I ended up wearing a different dress to the wedding I attended, but I was sad I didn't have somewhere else to wear this one! The pattern and colors are so beautiful in person. The material is light and airy. This could be a perfect summer or destination wedding dress. Size runs true. The neckline is a deep V. If I had worn it to the wedding, I would have had to pin it a bit. The movement in this one was so fun too.

Fun Wedding Guest Option
So I ordered this dress with three other options and ended up going with a different style for the wedding I attended. This dress is cute and when asking for input from others several people liked this one best. Overall fit was true to size. The chest area was a little bit more snug in my opinion. This dress is a safe option for a formal event. It was a long enough inseam and the neckline high enough to keep everything covered. I felt like it could be dressed up or down easily.

Perfect for Spring Bridal Shower
Loved this dress! Beautiful color and figure flattering. On the shorter side and the arms were snug. Neither of these bothered me, but something to consider when sizing. The lining layer was substantial, but was not too warm for the warmer and somewhat humid day.

LBD with a twist
I ordered a size 6 and an 8. I could have worn either of them, but the 6 was a bit more fitted without being constricting. It fell mid calf and have great movement. I'm 5'4. The back was the best part of the dress - so pretty. I would have preferred to wear a backless bra, but with an outdoor summer ceremony in 95 degrees and high humidity - I went with a nude strapless. Unless you are really looking for it, you wouldn't notice the bra through the lace. I wear either a 32F or a 34DD depending on the brand of bra. Overall just a very pretty and comfortable choice, I'd definitely wear it again. Classic look. It would work with a wide variety of jewelry- imo. Solid choice for anything semi formal and up.

Cool and unique variation of black dress
I REALLY wanted this dress to work, but I didn't have time to get the correct shape wear to have on with it. After two kids, and never having a flat stomach to begin with, I just wouldn't have been comfortable in it. If I had gone up a size, it probably would have lay fine enough to be alright in the stomach area, but then it would have been too long. The neck line was really cool. At 5'4" I would have been fine wearing a moderate high heel. The material was nice too. If you are svelte little thing, definitely get it!

Beautiful and lightweight
I love this dress. All my friends love this dress. Needed a strapless bra because with a regular one the straps show. Fitted in the middle but plenty of room in the top and skirt. Lovely and forgiving - I loved it. I originally ordered an 8 regular and it was so long that even with the highest heels (3"?) I own I was worried I'd catch the dress in my heel. Luckily RTR sent me the 6 regular and the length worked perfectly.

A little bit muted, but pretty!
This is a large necklace, so it was a bit heavy, but nothing crazy. It looked great in the light - rainbow colors! It went great with the "Into the Galaxy" dress I rented.

Superheroes wear dresses too!
This dress was a bit heavy. It was a very unique style - I'm not kidding when I say it felt superhero- esque. The zipper was tough to get up...I needed my husband's help. I could easily wear a strapless bra with it, but I bet one could go without judging by the materials thickness.

Fun and flirty - no one had a dress like this one!
This dress was so much fun. I wore it to a semi formal wedding. It was easy to dance, move, and sit in. I wore a strapless bra to avoid any visible straps. The only caution - I had to wiggle this dress over my hips - so once it was on, it for like a glove, but if I was any curvier in the hip area, I would have had go up a size. Once on there was plenty of room in the skirt, and I did not feel restricted at all, but just fair warming when you read through my sizes and choose one for yourself! ;)
