This dress makes no sense
Why have the slit? Complete functional fail. Considered spending the time pinning it shut, but wasn't worth it. Fit terribly. Not made for plus sizes despite the label.

Needs repair
The straps on this bag are falling apart. Cute style but not great quality. Going to use for a conference then return. RTR - this needs attention- the straps will likely be beyond repair after another use.

Loved.
Easy, lightweight worked great on a hot summer day. A little sexy without being at all inappropriate for the office during the day and a work event in the evening. Bumped into an old date and got a "wow you look great" compliment despite being insanely tired and heavier than the last time I saw him so - thanks, Dress! Would definitely rent again. (Ditto on the waist band issue others mentioned - I'm very busty and had to be really careful pulling over my bra not to pop any stitching, it really should have a zipper or some sort. RTR you might want to pay attention to how this dress wears over time in the waist for that reason.)

Meh.
I liked the lace sleeves but overall the dress was just kind of meh. not very flattering on my figure. I could see dressing it up with some really high, barely there heels and having a leg moment for a dressy day event, but the neckline with the big sleeves wasn't very flattering with my larger bust size.

too tight - couldn't wear
2x is usually a little big on me - but this didn't fit at all.

Pretty, but definitely a formal dress
I thought I could pull this off as a cute summer night look or even for day with flats but it's structured, kind of heavy, and there's a bit of sheen in the fabric so it's definitely a more formal dress. Would be cute for a spring/summer wedding or more formal event.

Didn't love the pattern
Liked the fit, but couldn't get into the pattern. It felt a little down market in person.

Life Changing
This is the best money I've ever spent. Finding clothes in plus size is a huge hassle and I usually hate shopping. Now I just heart dresses I like on the sly and pick what I want to wear next week and it arrives and I look great and I get tons of compliments and life is easy and amazing. if I gain or loose a couple pounds here or there, NBD, I just order bigger or smaller instead of losing my entire wardrobe. Keep bringing in the polished work looks for plus size RTR!

Easy summer work dress
I was surprised at the material and color initially (hence 4 stars) - the flowers are hot pink, not poppy red as I had expected. The fabric is like a bathing suit or thin scuba. Because there's not much structure I added spanx and it worked great for an easy summer work dress.

Cute but wrap kept opening
The bust was tight - I wore a black slip for more cleavage cover to keep the front from being too revealing but it made the whole look feel sloppy. The bottom was fine but in just a little wind it had a tendency to open. Overall I felt like I was tugging at the dress all day - felt pretty uncomfortable. I'd look for a larger size in this style next time to feel more easy breezy in the breeze.
