Get ready for the compliments and "where did you get that top?"
I wanted to buy this and might in the future. I rented as part of my month long rental and definitely got a lot of use for it - dinners out, work, and any excuse to put it on and go out that I could think of. Goes with denim or black jeans super well. Dress it up, dress it down. Hi-lo hem that I actually love as you can wear skinny pants and not worry about your butt being on display but the front is normal length and flattering. Big billowy sleeves that just work. I could have gotten a smaller size as the shoulder/chest area is quite roomy. Lovely button detail on the back for days you want to wear your hair up. Want to own this!

As fun as the confetti print on the dress!
LOVE LOVE LOVE Got so many compliments. Super flattering on my body shape (big bust, big hips). I'm tall and the dress was not short at all. Love that the zipper is in the front! Great fabric that lays and sways and never wrinkles. Wanted to purchase so badly but it was still over $200 just to purchase so I will wait but definitely would rent again!

Librarian Chic
Fits and shows off all of your curves. Heavy but gorgeous fabric. Loved the sleeves! Length was awkward, I'm almost 5'8". The reason I didn't wear was that the overall mood was too dark for my event and the bottom of the hem sticks out really strange. It should have hugged at the knees/calves but instead bellows out. Might only work on someone super thin with no hips so that the bottom bell shape balances things out. Did not work for me, sadly.

Great all around bag!
Perfect size for a night out. I wore it as a crossbody. Easily fit an iPhone plus, compact, small flat wallet, lipstick and roll on perfume. Loved it!

Odd fit, amazing fabric.
Odd fit, but the fabric in the skirt was amazing. If I owned this I would chop it into a skirt. I did not wear this as the elastic in the waist was not flattering at all.

Thick but silky fabric - cute print!
The fabric is great for Fall and Winter - silky smooth, yet thick. The ruched back allows the dress to conform to your shape but without constricting you. Great print! The dress seems like a black print but it is not, it is a very very very inky dark blue. Would rent again!

Would work well on someone that is either very short or very tall.
Fit true to size. I'm 5'7" and the length was just very strange on me. Did not wear.

Brrrr... this blouse literally left me cold!
The fabric is not the best for winter...I was freezing in this blouse as it does not retain any heat although it is a heavy fabric. Great print. Mine did not include the tie around the neck, which RTR told me about beforehand. However, the shirt was still ok to wear as it was.

Dress it up or down!
I rented this to see if it would work for a future wedding or party. It definitely will! I was hoping I'd have a reason to wear it during my rental window but alas, I didn't. Will definitely rent again for an upcoming wedding as this is easily dressed up or down. Loved it!

Heads will turn!
I wore this out one night and heads turned! I felt like a superstar in this coat! It's extremely soft and you will pet yourself all the time. It's very warm. Fit great! Would purchase if the price goes down.

Pros: comfortable, pockets, little blingy
I went through multiple dresses both at RTR and also shopping around and ran out of time. This dress wasnt my first choice but in the end it was between this one or the Kate Spade in bloom dress. The gold won out. Cons: Fit on the size 16 was perfect around the waist but a little big around the neck and chest area. I am 38D and i still had room up top. Strapless bra is recommended because of the boatneck and how the back is cut. The 14 would have been the better choice but then the waist would pinch in, so keep that in mind as the waist here is not forgiving and has no stretch. It was really easy to dance and move around in this dress. Unlike other dresses there was no pulling, tugging or itchy scratching. Super comfy. Oh, and pockets! I'm 5'7" and it came up just to my knees. Flattering look for a fitted dress on just sbout anyone. Would recommend.

Perfection! Warm, fuzzy, classy, elegant..
I normally wear L or XL coats, size 14-16. But seeing other reviewers state how large this coat runs I took my chances with the only available size at the time, size 10. It fit, it buttoned up, sleeves were a little short but it just might be part of this style. Overall wven a size 10 fit, which was about 2-3 sizes smaller than my usual size. I'm 5'7" and was 5'10" with heels and the length was perfect. Like a tea length in dresses. I love loved loved this coat. Goes with any print, any occasion. I'm going to see if i can snag it on sale one day. Obsessed.

Swimming in lace...
Most 16's are slightly big on top on me, but this one I was absolutely swimming in. I could have probably sized down one or two sizes and it would have fit. There were other issues: heavy dress, tons of last, not flattering white lining. Too bad, because in the pics of other reviewers the dress actually looks really cute. Perhaps it really was just a case of the wrong size.

My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard.....
They say if you got 'em, flaunt 'em. Well, in this dress, they're on FULL display. There's no way to minimize the boobage here. I'm 38C but in this dress felt like a 38DDD and the girls were unavoidable and nearly spilling out. If that's your thing, go for it, not a better dress for it! But attending a family wedding I just didn't feel it was appropriate. Which is a shame because the dress fit tailor made for me (I'm a 16 on most bottoms, size 14 overall, size L/XL elsewhere). I LOVED the fitted bodice, the full skirt minimized my hips and the length was just right for my 5'7" frame. If only the dress was cut a little higher at the bust - it would be a winner!

Grows on you...
Too large under the arms ans bust. Just right everywhere else. A lot of fabric. Very flouncy skirt that won't work on everyone and i wasnt sure if i actually looked as good as i felt. I really loved the feel of this fabric and the print and POCKETS! Will try to rent a size 14 and hope it fits better in the bust (i'm a 38C/D)

Lovely lace...too small
Very lovely lace dress. Simple but elegant. Ran very large on me in the shoulders and tight on the hips. Not a good fit for me and ultimately too vanilla.
