Depressed that I have to send that back
I loved this sweater. I will say I wore this one shoulder as opposed to off the shoulder-- just for comfort. The sleeves are long but I liked that about it. Also you will need to wear something under it.

Liked, not loved
I like this dress but didn't end up keeping it because I had other options that were more structured. I will say that the length is great and really helps the curves!

I LOVE THIS DRESS
This dress is AWESOME. It's incredibly comfortable and there's enough boning in it that I don't have to wear a bra. I don't think that this shows too much cleavage at all.

Wish the length was a tad bit shorter
The overall fit and feel of the dress are great. I was hoping to wear this as an everyday dress, but because of the length, it doesn't look right without heels. I will def rent this perhaps for the summer!

SUPER LUX
So this is super comfy and because the fabric is heavier it hides a lot of imperfections. I will say that I didn't have to wear a bra because my strapless one was higher cut, but there is plenty of boning and stays to make sure that it doesn't fall down.

Holy cleavage.
This jumpsuit did fit but I couldn't ever wear out because of how low cut this was.

Tight in the waist
This dresses colors and material are so stunning but the waist was too tight for me. This is a low cut dress as well! I would have had to go without a bra for sure.

Gotta love Kate
I got this to try for work! Its super comfortable and feels very lux. I got 372992 compliments for this dress during work. Note: RTR let me know before they sent this out that there was not belt-- so its not pictured. I did a simply black tie one and it did wonders as well!

So bummed this didn't fit!
This dress is absolutely stunning! I was so bummed it didn't fit (I'm between sizes!). I will say I was nervous when I put the under layer on because it was super short, but it ended up stretching to the right length. This dress would look fabulois on a curvy girl and being 5'5, it hit me at the right spot length wise!

Great material and dress!
This dress is really well structed and is nice (heavy) material. I sadly keep it because it didn't fit the best (I'm between sizes). My only complaint is that the armpits do go down quite low.

Wish this had fit!
I really loved the dress-- it is super well made and will do wonders for someone with curves. The dress has NO STRETCH at all however-- which is why I wasn't able to wear it sadly!

Light and flowy!
This dress is really nice and easy to wear. I have a full chest and I didn't have to wear a bra with this. I will say that I did have to size up because of that too in the chest area. It was also nice that it had the sticky, tack along the edges to keep me up! My only con-- which it didn't bother me-- was that on the side that isn't the one shoulder it wasn't as structured.

I want this dress for myself!
This dress is super comfortable! I wore it for my engagement photos and a bridal shower. It was perfect for a hot day and it was super flattering.
Blue Floral Print Midi Dress

I wore this as a teacher to my student's senior prom.
This was SO comfortable. I rented at 14 and 16-- very true to size-- I ended up wearing the 16 because I liked it a little larger, especially with the elastic waist. I can't even begin to say how comfortable this was. I would say that I don't think of myself as tall (5'6"), and I wore flat sandals and it doesn't touch the floor. I would have loved to see what a long would have looked.
