Cute with issues
Was very low cut on me. I wore a bralette underneath and when I sat down the neckline went further than the bralette did. The layer underneath is a wrap/button situation, so you’ll need to be careful sitting down at work. There’s plenty of fabric to make it work but you can flash leg up to your hip if not careful. The dress itself is very professional and high quality. I’d probably give 4 stars if it wasn’t so low cut.

Runs large
I rented my usual size and it felt massive (I think I rolled the sleeves three times just to reach my wrists). Definitely a bit sheer but fine with nude underwear. Fabric is luxurious and I got lots of compliments. I’d probably rent again but go two sizes down.

Bunches up
Not sure if it’s because I’m petite, but the back kept bunching up no matter how many times I tried to adjust as you can see in the pic. The size 2 felt large overall, and the intense shoulder pads made my frame much wider than usual. Still, it was nice quality and I loved the color.

Very cute and received compliments, but the elastic at the wrist was too tight and cut into my skin.

It’s true- the pockets are handy but they stick out as you can see. Still, with a sweater you can’t really tell. I didn’t regret renting.

Adorable
The zipper does run all the way up the back, but I did not have any trouble getting in/out of it as another reviewer mentioned. The fabric left me pretty hot, so I don’t think I would wear outside in the summer. It was a little long for me at 5’1”, but I was able to barely pull it off with about a 2” heel. Plenty of room in the torso but it didn’t look bad with the extra fabric either. Would definitely rent again.

Heavy material, long straps
The top is a fake leather material and the bottom half is several layers of fabric, making this a heavy dress. The straps were way too long and not adjustable. Tried wearing around the house to see if I could make it work and had several nip slips. The top doesn’t have a lot of stretch so could be uncomfortable sitting down.

Loved this. It was a little big but I think it was tts. Length is fine for petites although walking fast was not an option- dress only allows for a small, leisurely stride if you're short.

Comical
This was huge. Straps are not adjustable. The shape of the dress is ... round. I felt like a bowling pin. I think you need to be very tall and very thin for this to work.

Might need fashion tape
Dress was very comfortable and cute. If you're petite, the long strap side might not be tight enough. I had to fashion tape it otherwise I would have slipped out.

A little long
I did not find the slip to be too short as some other reviewers have mentioned, but I'm only 5'1". It made the dress very wearable in the summer heat. The straps are adjustable but even tightened all the way the dress still brushed the floor in parts, even in heels.

Cute
Very comfortable, cute dress. Loved the back. It is very adjustable, and hit right above the floor for me (I'm 5'1"). I did find it slightly warm- there are three layers of fabric, albeit light layers.

Clingy
Great front silhouette, but very clingy. This could be good or bad depending on the occasion. Great if you want to show off curves, but maybe not the best for work.

Made for romping
Great little romper in which I played golf, frisbee, climbed trees and didn't worry a bit about my outfit. I am only 5 1", but I had several inches of extra fabric in the torso and it was still very comfortable.

Delta airlines vibes
You will look like a delta flight attendant, not that that's a bad thing. It was a nice enough work dress although I thought the arms were the tiniest bit too tight given the rest of the proportions.

Nice enough
This wasn't spectacular, but nice for everyday. Was browner than I anticipated. I didn't think it was too sheer as others have mentioned. I wore it with a nude strapless bra and had no issues.

Nope
The dress is a plain cotton material but is so thin I don't know how you could wear it. Shows underwear lines clearly. The arms are cut so low that you wouldn't be able to wear a normal bra with it either. I also didn't find the cut particularly flattering. Maybe someone else could pull it off, but not me.

Just ok
The cut is interesting and the material is very thick. I didn't wear this with high waisted pants, but I should have. When I moved the shirt would slowly ride up until it showed my stomach, so that was uncomfortable, and I almost never have that problem because of my height. All in all I'd probably give it 3.5 stars.

Super soft silk
I loved this top. It was so soft and comfortable. It was long on me, but I just wore it tucked in. The tie in the back looks odd under anything, so plan to wear it alone.

Not for petites
I really wanted to make this work, but even though it fit well on the bottom, the top through the chest and shoulders was so large that not even fashion tape would keep me from flashing the world. I also didn't think it was that flattering on the midsection, even though I have a pretty flat stomach.

I am 5'1" and unfortunately could not wear this dress. It was several inches too long on me even with heeled boots. The material was luxurious though and I loved the bold colors. Wish I could have worn.

I will die In this dress
Haven't taken this dress off since it arrived. My boyfriend called RTR and bought it as a surprise, maybe because he liked it, and maybe just so I would know we have forever together (the dress, not the boy). I can't wear anything uncomfortable for more than a few mins since quarantine started, so this is a win. A little sheer if you're venturing into public, but still worked with a strapless nude bra. If you're on the fence, rent this! (5,1" 110lbs for reference)

Greek goddess, ruler of... the house
Another quarantine find. The size 2 was way too long for me (I'm 5,1") and a little too loose in the waste, but still looked elegant because of the way the fabric drapes. I comfortably wore this for a special occasion at home, all the way to the sunrise. I hope I can rent this again when it's not just by bf who will see it.

Brightened up Quarantine
I rented this during quarantine just for fun. I went for the 4p because it was the only petite available. The length probably would have been perfect with heels, although a little long for milling around the house barefoot. I'm usually a 0 or 2 but the 4 felt tighter than I would have liked around the middle. Probably too many quarantine snacks.

Get ready for a nip slip if you're petite
I love this designer and can usually wear it no problem, but I couldn't wear this without something under it. I am 5,1" and around 110. It did have a nice cut and thick fabric though.

Flattering, even for petites
I loved this dress- sexy without showing too much skin. I was worried it would be too long, but I thought it was fine for my 5'1" frame. I wore it for a date, brunch, and even got away with it at work with a blazer.

So many buttons.
Fit well and I loved the velvet look, but the buttons on the back are a pain. Even buttoning half of them before donning and using the zipper still took 10 mins to get dressed. I asked my bf for help but I guess he didn't have the dexterity needed. Cute though, and good length for petites.

Feels like butter
Awesome fit for my petite frame. Color pops and it's super comfortable. Really cute over a dress or hot with a pair of high waisted pants. Only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because the belt isn't removable. I like to wear it open and the belt just hangs down and clangs when I'm walking.

This was a very lightweight dress so better for summer or spring. No lining at all, but it worked fine for me. I'm short, 5'1", so this was almost a maxi on me. Very comfortable.

Gross color, way too long.
Fit was fine on top, but sooo long and very unflattering. Thought about trying to pin it but the color was off as well. I was expecting it to be more yellow based on the pictures, but it reminded me of chartreuse. Might work for tall girls who don't mind the color, but shorter ladies like myself beware.
