Straps are not wearable. Way too short.
This dress has such great potential and is really cute. You will not be able to wear it with the straps. They are way too short, like a malfunction from the designer. If you are OK with wearing the strapless and occasionally having the straps peek out, it’s worth running. If you really like to have the straps, which I did, I wouldn’t get it. I am speaking to the medium that I rented.

So cute and versatile!
I wore to a country concert in Vegas but could easily have reworn for a girls night out, date night, wedding guest, etc. It’s super cute. I’m a 4/6 and 5’8”. The 6 fit perfectly.

Lots of room. I'd size down for normal wear. I wore 36 weeks pregnant and had plenty of room. I'm usually a 4 (not pregnant).

Wore this 34 weeks pregnant and loved!
I sized up 2 sizes for maternity. This was really cute with tennies and a bump. I am 5'9". 166 pounds at 35 weeks and this was a perfect fit.

Chest is very small. Cut off half my boobs.
Love everything hunter bell and am always a six. This cut off the bottom half of my boobs. Wasn’t revealing but super weird and uncomfortable. Didn’t even want to wear around the house.

Super cute with a bump!
I wore this at 23 weeks pregnant. I’m a 4/6 in clothing pre-bump. My rib cage tends to be the issue and puts me in a 6. I got the medium and it was perfect. I loved it belted and wore it to a brunch and then just around town. Could go either dressy or casual in my opinion. Not breathable, so I was dying in the 90 degree Alabama heat and humidity.

Chest is very tight!
I’m consistently a 6. 34/c bra so very normal. I got a medium. The chest on this was so tight that I couldn’t wear a bra and my books were super compressed. I wore it but only once. It is cute!

Such a fabulous dress!
I was a size 27/4 before I had my baby. I’m 7 weeks postpartum and close to that, but still have a little tummy to hide. This dress was perfect for that! I belted it and looked like I did before baby!!! Highly recommend!

Sized up 2 sizes to fit pregnant belly at 37 weeks.
Prepregnancy I was a 2/4. I sized up to an 8 and it was so cute on my belly. I could’ve done the 10 bc I couldn’t zip the dress with a bra. So so cute. Prob my favorite dress I’ve worn during pregnancy. I was 36-38 weeks pregnant when I wore.

Cute dress, but size up! I usually wear a 2 and the 4 was too tight.
Runs small! I didn't mind the length but the short skirt and a tight fit made it unwearable.

Great dress---true to size, if you have slim hips!
This is a great dress. Not necessarily a show stopper, but still a great red to wear on date nights or to a summer cocktail party. I wear a size 2 in most brands, with the exception of Milly or Elizabeth and James (wear a 4 in those). This dress was a bit tight, as it doesn't have any give in the hips...but I went commando and it looked great. I'm 5'8" and while it was short, it wasn't too bad. I felt comfortable and sexy at 32. If you're looking at getting a backup size, size up. This dress does not run big. It's either true to size or small. If you have hips, size up. I don't, which was my saving grace on the 2. Enjoy!

Cute romper, but runs VERY large!
The style and fabric of this romper were both great, but unfortunately it runs very large. I'm traditionally a small in everything. I wear a 2 on most occasions, but a 4 in designers like Molly and Elizabeth and James. This romper was HUGE! I had to safety pin it to even keep the top up. The bottom elastic was fine but there was so much extra fabric. The small definitely fits more like a medium. I would think someone who is a size 6, maybe even a small 8, would be a better fit for the small.

New Years Eve in Herve!
Loved the blue color of this dress. It definitely stood out and highlighted my blue eyes. The cut was perfect. I wore a strapless bra and felt the cleavage was perfect for a black tie affair. I don't like to have it all hanging out, so this was important for me. The long is Long, which was great for me! I wouldn't recommend the long to anyone under 5'8". The only con that I have is that the dress did not hide my midsection at all. In fact, it appeared highlighted in pictures. Suck in and angle your body during pics!!!

Ran very small. No lining.
Unfortunately, this dress ran very small. I ordered a size 2, as this is my normal Size. It was very tight and there was no liner. I would recommend ordering one size up. Still not worth the rental in my opinion.

Many compliments! Made me look like I was pregnant in pics!
I love this dress and got so many compliments. I wore spanx since it was super tight. I felt like the color change of the sequins accented my stomach. Also, the bottom is a little looser than I would have preferred as it looked funny in pics. That being said, I'm glad I rented it. Friends loved it. Guys drooled. Easy to dance in. Ultimate statement dress. Shoes were difficult. I would recommend a shoe that doesn't have any ankle straps as it made my long legs look short.

I really wish this dress had fit, but I needed the 2L rather than the 0. I'm usually a 2, but tried to make the 0 work. No luck! It's true to size!

I didn't end up wearing this dress, because the color was more of a winter red than a summer. Fit nicely though and was pretty.

Great top---very basic, everyday.
I wore this top for a super casual dinner at a dive restaurant with my boyfriend. Would prob wear for a casual outdoor festival, but it wasn't anything special. Just a basic. Fits well. I wish it was about 2 inches longer, but I'm tall.

Love, love, love this vest! Such a transitional piece!
It's a little large for my 2/4 size frame, but it still looks great. Just an oversized fit. Have enjoyed wearing it on several occasions. Highly recommend. I'm going to make this a staple in my closet! :)

Loved the length of the skirt. I have long legs and it was short enough to show some leg, but long enough to cover my tail :)

I typically wear a 4 and it fit just fine! It is absolutely gorgeous on. Unfortunately, the 4 was worn and the beading was coming off. It was disappointing, but RTR sent me a new dress to make up for it.
