Great for chilly days
Wore to work & got a ton of compliments - it's a statement piece. Surprisingly thick, feels high quality. I've rented it twice now and the white is always bright (not stained or yellowed).

Great autumn option...except...
I LOVED this skirt - the colors are heaven for autumn, it fit well, and it layered superbly. But beware that there's a reason it's styled on the RTR site with a bikini top - it is very sheer when held to the light or when the sun is shining on (or through!) it. If that's concerning to you, you'll need a slip or even some leggings/bike shorts. But I'd rent again - I got lots of compliments.

Worked better as a shirt
This didn't work for me as a dress - it was loose on the top and tight around the hips. But it looked cute as a shirt to go apple picking! I'd absolutely wear it in that capacity again.

Falls a little weird
Really beautiful sequins and the stretchy fabric is very forgiving. But the way the back falls makes the sides a little poochy - it just wasn't very flattering. Didn't wear.

Perfect for a NYE concert!
Read the previous reviews - they're all correct. This was VERY snug around the middle and chest; you can tell how tight it is around my bust in the photo and I'm only a 34A! But, oddly, the shoulders were much looser so I don't know that going up to a size would have helped - the shoulders would have been way too big. The length was good - sexy without being revealing. That said, I did wear this to a concert where I danced a lot so I did wear black boyshort bottoms underneath for those fabulous turns...

Completed my look!
This went perfectly with the Allison Parris Down the Middle Dress for NYE. It felt high-quality and luxurious. It fit my ID/cards, money, cell phone (I have a large but thin Samsung), and two lipsticks. The sides expand a bit, which helps with roominess.

My 40th Birthday Party!
Paired with Trina Turk Crisp Jumpsuit and Gorjana Mave Handpiece from RTR. The turquoise was perfect for summer and the outfit - added that punch of color. They're a tad heavy so, if you are sensitive to that, be aware.

My 40th Birthday Party!
Wore this with the Trina Turk Crisp Jumpsuit from RTR and received more compliments on this piece than the jumpsuit (though there was no shortage of kudos on the jumpsuit)! I am dying to buy this!

40th birthday party
Listen to everyone else's reviews! This was my back-up dress (I ordered the S and the M...went with the small) and, while the dress fit beautifully...the belt was a nightmare. And the belt makes the dress (I tried to fudge with a different belt and it looked so silly). Didn't wear this at all.

40th Birthday Party!
Gorgeous fit! The material has some stretch, which makes moving around pretty easy. The chest fit me perfectly, but larger-chested women might have problems. I'm pretty curvy, but the stretchy fit helped around the thighs and the mild peplum panel was forgiving (I ordered the 4R and 6R and went with the 4). I paired this with two RTR jewelry pieces: the Gorjana Mave Handpiece and the Kendra Scott Turquoise Katie earrings. I might have received more compliments on the Gorjana than I did on this outfit! But, overall, the best compliment I received (multiple times) was, "Look at that jumpsuit! You are KILLING 40!"
