Lightweight & flattering for curves
This dress fit like a glove on me. Silk fabric was lightweight and flowy, and gathered in all the right places. Wore to an awards ceremony where I was a presenter. A steamer was necessary to remove wrinkles from shipping. Nothing negative to say except that it's too expensive for me to buy, so I'll have to rent it again sometime!

A rich beautiful color, with a forgiving silhouette that hugs and stretches right where you need it to. I got 1000 compliments on this dress.

Snug but doable, very elegant
Very little give in this dress, but it created a long lean line with the right shapewear. Obviously a high quality designer dress, with an internal clasp to help secure the waistline and a diagonal zipper along a back seam. Might try the next size up if I wear again.

Festive and fun
I decided not to wear this dress as it was a bit "too much" for the event I was attending. Also, I couldn't get the back tie to lie flat. It is a thick velvet band.

Shorter skirt prevented me from wearing this beautiful dress
I loved the sleeves and neckline. The whole dress fit like a glove. However, the skirt was just a little too short, and the wrap in the front was too revealing for me. I was planning to wear this while seated in front of a very large audience, so I decided it would not work for me.

Snug and unforgiving
Lovely to look at except that it was too small for me to wear, despite sizing up. Also, with the fabric weight, high neckline and long sleeves, it doesn't really seem like a spring dress.

Flirty and feminine, snug fit around bodice
I just loved this dress and so wanted to wear it, but the top bodice was just too tight to zip up. I feel like I'm pretty averaged size in the bust for my overall weight and body type, but this dress was just too small. The variations in sizes fitting well is the most frustrating thing about RTR. Often I wear an 8 or 10, but sometimes I need a 6 or a 12. Since this dress came in only S, M, or L, I was pretty certain the M would fit. Not the case! Loved it enough to try again in the future with the L.

Bold statement dress, but order smaller size!
I loved everything about this dress, and am finally getting the confidence to wear something as bold and flashy as this one. However, the circumference of the top band (not the halter tie, but the part around the rib cage) was way too large and it hung off loosely in the back. While I'm OK with being daring, a dress falling down and creating a peep show would have been too much! I may try to order this again, but would size down at least one, maybe two sizes.

Classic, simple, non-flashy dress
This dress fit very well and I loved the pockets, but it felt a little matronly to me, making me seem older than I am. I ended up not wearing this one for my special event.

Beautiful drape, perfect fit for an hourglass shape
A pretty dress for fall. Worn to a theater opening. Loved the tie at the neck. The waistband was not stretchy, but allowed plenty of room. Length was just right with heels, and was cut perfectly at the hips and bust for my figure. Would rent again for sure.

Elegant, form-fitted
I ordered an 8 and 6, based on feedback that it ran small. The 8 was too snug to zip up. The draping skirt and shoulders hides the fact that the bodice is actually quite fitted. Wished this would have worked for me!

Gorgeous fit, questionable color
I so wanted to make this dress work. It fit like a glove -- a little snug but I was able to zip it up with help. It was a comfortable dress for standing and sitting. But the color... well, it was less gold as the pictures show and more... brownish. It just didn't work with my complexion and hair color. I loved this dress and wish it came in another color!

Sleek, sexy, with just enough plunge
This dress was perfect for a symphony gala. Comfortable compared to many gowns, fully lined and nice weight of fabric, and shows off the shoulders. Loved this dress and would wear again. One odd thing: I wore shapewear underneath for a bit of control on the thighs, hips, and tummy, and the dress liner somehow rubbed against this and rotated all the way around inside, causing the outside layer to torque and almost cause a "wardrobe malfunction" for one of the girls! ;) I went to the restroom and removed the undergarment, straightened out the liner, and all was well the rest of the evening. Glad my handbag was large enough to hold the folded-up shapewear.

School marm in front, sexy in back
This was a beautiful dress with a gorgeous drape and lightweight but sturdy fabric. The back ties were a brilliant detail, but the front of the top was just too plain and a little old-fashioned looking so I didn't wear it.

Casual fabric, high slit
Got this dress for a brunch event to be paired with a vintage hat. I should have read the comments about the high slit on one thigh, because I wouldn't have ordered it. I wish the official pictures better showed the slit. Anyway, It has an interesting twist at the front bust where the buttons connect. A simple and beautiful detail. Fabric is linen-like but medium weight. Slim silhouette. Did not wear because of the slit.

too tight through waist and bodice
I ordered the recommended size and could not begin to zip up this dress. Also, the description says gold metallic details, but they were definitely silver metallic. I ordered this because I wanted gold and black. Disappointed that the description was wrong.

this was extremely tight across the fastener and cut so low I couldn't wear it. The RTR photo did not accurately depict this top.

For straight-hipped gals
Waist fit ok but a tad loose, hips and seat fit way too tight. I could not wear. (I usually wear tailored pants in a 10 and sometimes even an 8. I would have had to have tried a 12 in these pants.) Beautiful fabric, lighter weight than expected, fun ruffle along back waist.
