Classic DVF
Easy DVF wrap to throw on and go! I paired with a denim jacket and wedges for a dressed down office look.

Loved it
Such a fun dress - I am short so it was long enough to pull off for a casual work function. I think this runs slightly small - I'm usually a 0 and the xS was a little tight around the ribcage. Will definitely rent the small next time for a more float fit, but the XS looked great

Material is odd
I rented this for work but it's a weird fabric for a daytime event - has a sheen to it that would have been strange to wear to a conference, IMO

First time with this designer: I'LL BE BACK
Everything I ever knew I wanted in a dress: comfy material, longer length, neckline that doesn't reveal too much. Still debating buying it and keeping it forever; I easily wore it 4x while it was in my closet. I'm 5'4" so longer lengths are always risky for me and this hit longer but not in a "I'm-wearing-my-grandmother's-dress" sort of way. Modest a-line cut was way more flattering than I thought it would be. I would probably have been an xs pre-baby but 3 mo postpartum the small fit perfectly.

Love this dress - comfy and stylish
Love this dress. Wore it at 32 weeks pregnant so sized up one size from my normal size and it fit great. It has a little shape to it while still being light and flowy which I liked

Listen to the reviews - runs so small
This dress runs very small - that being said it is a GREAT silhouette. Unfortunately, I couldn't wear it because the neckline left me a little too exposed. I'm two months postpartum and was a 0-2 before I got pregnant. I'm nearly back to my original weight but as a nursing mom could only fit my bust into the 8! If it hadn't been cut so low I would have definitely work this, and might have gone with it for a friends wedding but I needed this for a work event and didn't feel comfortable in it

Fun, flirty and COMFY - great spring wedding pic
I thought this dress was super fun and comfortable - modest neckline which is nice because at 20 weeks pregnant my girls are having a hard time fitting into ANYTHING. I sized up (I could do anything 0-4 before pregnancy and am wearing mostly 4-6 now) because that's all they had a the RTR store and though it was loose it didn't look too big and left plenty of room for my small bump. I thought the ruffles added some fun flair without adding any weight to the dress.

Too low cut
Probably fine if you don't have too much cleavage but if you're a C or bigger this is too low cut for work. Too bad because I liked the cut of the rest of the dress.

Runs true to size
I followed the reviews that all indicated this ran small and ordered a size up - and I was swimming in it! Definitely order your normal size. This was super cute, wish I could have worn it!

Loved it. Classic and easy.
I loved this dress, I wanted to keep it. Perfect shift to throw on for work (a little short though for a very conservative office environment). I wore a strapless bra with it so you couldn't see the straps through the darts in the shoulders. It is a little brighter than the picture - I definitely did not go unnoticed in it!

Comfy! Easy casual dress.
I liked this dress. Comfortable fit, I can wear anything between a 2-6, it just depends on the bust size and the 2 fit fine. I think the 4 would have looked big but still could have pulled it off if I was ok with it being a little flowy. Nothing crazy special about it but I threw it on for a casual day at work and I was happy with it.

Easy to throw on and go
This picture is from an event after work so I had just thrown it on after a long day. I had worn it to a casual weekend event the week before with wedges and bolder accessories and it held up great. It is lighter than I expected so it was a great find for casual summer daytime events. It would be a great closet staple. I usually wear a 2-4 and the 4 fit just fine without seeming too big. I think a 2 would have been fine if I wanted a tighter fit.

Cute and easy to throw on and go
This was a fun dress, perfect for a casual brunch. I threw it on with some wedges. I ended up wearing a sports bra under it because it came down so low. If you have boobs at all you're going to need to layer underneath it. I also would size down. The small fit but I thought it looked bulky even after cinching the waist and definitely could have gone for the petite/xs size without it being too short.

Love the lace and the color
I rented this as a part of my first subscription order and was not disappointed. The color is fun and loud but it is long enough that I could pull it off at the office. I am athletic and am normally between a 2 or 4 for skirts so I went with a 4 and could have easily worn the 2. Even though it was a little big it still looked great!

Fun and casual
This is a great fun little shift dress. The asymmetrical hem at the bottom adds a little fun flare to it and makes it a little different. I wore it to brunch with friends. I would say I am much more frequently a 4 and have a larger chest so I was surprised the 2 fit so well so if you are between sizes you can probably err on the side of the smaller one and be fine!

Great casual look
I decided to order this for the weekend thinking my boyfriend might propose (he did...so added bonus: maybe it's lucky??) but was worried about the fact that it was supposed to be 95 degrees. This dress was lightweight and kept me cool even in the crazy heat. It definitely runs large; the 4 fit just fine but the 2 had a little more shape to it, so I went with that. It is still a pretty straight cut. Great casual look but avoid it if you are looking for something with more shape. You will not be able to wear a normal bra (strapless or otherwise) with it. But I am a big fan of using a nu bra and getting to enjoy the fun shape in the back! Overall I would recommend.

Stgylish, versatile, comfy jacket. Perfect for everything.
Holiday season means too many events for which you need too many outfits, amiright? I rented this jacket to throw over a boring black work dress to hit an informal cocktail party and a formal dinner later in the evening. It was PERFECT. Great, streamlined look and comfy to boot. I have muscular arms and somewhat broad shoulders, so I usually opt for a larger size in jackets. Both the 2 and the 4 fit, but the 2 was a little bit sleeker look, and not too tight on my arms, since there is a little give in the jacket. Loved it, did not want to return.

I. love. this. dress. Perfect for any occasion. It did triple duty for me!
I had a difficult event to dress for: November daytime wedding that was going to be pretty warm and semi-formal. And also I had neglected to plan for it until a few days prior. Enter this dress. I wore it with a longer coat to the church ceremony, and then threw on a faux leather jacket for the lunch reception. With a little gold jewelry it was perfect for the evening cocktail festivities that followed! Since I waited so long, only the XS was available. I have a larger bust and long torso (and as a result, can normally pull off anything from an XS-M, depending on the brand and fit), so I was a little hesitant but the fit still totally worked....though I did end up pinning both the top and the skirt to keep from showing TOO much skin. Also, because of the drape of the top, the arms were a little tight; it would have been fine if the top had straps to connect with your bra, but since it didn't the shoulder would slouch a little and feel a little tight. But nothing that would keep me from wearing this dress again! Praying RTR tries to sell it at the end of the season and I can nab it. Forgot I had another event this week and tried to extend the rental but wasn't able to...but RTR was, true to form, extremely helpful and wonderful in getting back to me about options. Great experience as always!
