A little too fancy!
This dress was a bit too fancy for the work event I rented it for. I'm glad I rented a second dress just in case. I rented a 10 and a 12 and would have worn the 10. The straps are a bit long and loose for a short lady like me but with some tape it would have been fine and would have had good coverage in front. The back is really sexy, and the fit was really fun--fitted on the backside and a bit less fitted in the front, thanks to the pleats. I will probably rent this again if I have a more formal event to go to. Gorgeous color. I felt really good.

Classy for an evening work event!
I really liked this dress, despite the small tear in the bodice I didn't notice until I was on my way to my event. The pockets were super helpful and the large structured skirt is very flattering. I'm short so the straps were a bit long, and I'm quite busty, so the chest was a bit tight. The material is a little bit thick so I'm glad it was windy and still mostly spring. This would not be a good dress for summer at all. The dress was very comfortable and classy. It was just what I was looking for for a special work event.

Love the color palette
Gorgeous dress. It runs small though. I sized up to a 12 (I'm normally a 10) and it was still tight. Not much room in the bodice for more well-endowed ladies either (as you can see from my photo). I loved the colors though and it was a great weight for a summer happy hour my husband and I hosted for our wedding party a few days before our wedding.

Gorgeous dress! Wish RTR had a different size.
This dress is so gorgeous! The color is a deep navy blue with black piping. I'm a pretty solid size 10 but this was way too tight. RTR didn't have a 12 for me to rent also, so I just didn't wear it. Bummer. I will rent again, though, for the 12. It's a short dress, too, just FYI.

Beautiful, stylish, great fit!
The dress fits very true to size. The fabric is a bit stretchy and it's comfortable. The fabric is a thicker cotton so maybe not best for humid areas, but perfect for summer in the NE (we were at a wedding in the finger lakes in central NY). I'm short (5'3") and it hit just above my knees. The only con is that bc I usually need a petite, the torso on this dress was a bit long and the boning started to poke into my ribs in a very uncomfortable way. I'm typically a size 10. The 10 fit great. I have a larger chest and didn't need a bra at all--it was very supportive. The skirt is full and forgiving. The pockets are fun. Overall, loved this dress. It's fun and colorful.

I never received this dress ;(
I thought I would love this dress. I ordered it for my wedding shower hosted by my mom and sister across the country from where I live. UPS didn't leave the package at the door, though, so I never got it :( RTR came to the rescue, though! I shared my situation (across the country, need a dress, there wasn't time to ship another one) and they offered to pay for a new dress that I bought just for the occasion. I was so upset at first and they really turned around the day. I got a super cute dress and necklace and had a wonderful shower. Thanks RTR!!

Um, no way.
This dress didn't even cover my butt. I'm short and curvy and a true size 10 petite and there's no way i would wear this in public!

Adorable dress with a wow factor!
I ordered this dress just to wear for my birthday for work, after work drinks, etc. The weather is awful right now so I probably won't wear it for that but my fiancé took me out for pre-birthday drinks and I wore it to a local wine bar. It's cute and comfortable and he loved the style and pop of color. It's easy to dress it up or down. Where the band hits is a bit tight for me (the only reason I took a star away) probably because I'm short and usually wear petites. Otherwise it fit great, even for a curvy, busty girl like me!
