compliment fest!
I didn't realize that the back is OPEN. When i took it out of the bag, I was really disappointed that I missed that detail. All of the reviews only show the front of the dress. Somehow I talked myself into trying it on anyway AND wearing it to the grocery store. Two people gave me compliments on it immediately. It has great length for me too, hits mid calf. I love it!! Personally, the chest area fits me but if you have a large chest, it might be a challenge.

Cool pattern
These are thick so thinking hard about wearing them on the plane. They are on the shorter side for length but it works for me. Going to wear them around. update, I fell in love and want to buy them!

So cute!
It’s very comfortable and a good length for me. Others were saying it’s too short but I have a smaller chest for my size so that might be the difference. Love it!!

size 20 was too big to wear.
I’m 5’8 and it brushed the ground but it was also too big everywhere else. Tried to make it work because it was the closest size available to a 16/18/1x. It’s very feminine, which I love! 5’8 212 lbs Small bust

It's a short jacket that runs on the larger size. I need to reorder and size down.

shoulder area is funky
I loved this dress and wish I could have worn it. The shoulders stick out but not in a good way. I really needed the next size up because of my mid section but the shoulders would be too big on the next size up.

my most favorite ever rental
This dress has a gorgeous color with a subtle zebra print. It made me feel like a million bucks. Some of the Tanya Taylor dresses, I can wear an 18 but this one I definitely need the size 20. Love the weight and the length of the fabric. I wore for a dinner out and a baby shower. Threw on a jean jacket to dress it down some but it's dressy enough to wear to a wedding. Love that it ties to the side so it doesn't look like another BASIC WRAP dress.

Love the smell of quality leather!
This little bag is a keeper. Love white button accents and the bright orange suede interior. The braided cord is thick and got in the way so I removed it. If you want to use it as a handbag and not a shoulder bag, the other strap is removable too. This is not a crossbody bag.

too much fabric for me.
I love the details on this blouse at the sleeves and the side ruching. I think it would work best for a full bust, otherwise the amount of fabric feels and looks overwhelming. I love the longer length on the backside of it too.

This fit perfectly and I was in love with it! Fabric feels so luxurious and the print is brilliant. Wore it to work with a jacket over it. I did think it would be more of a midi length but it was longer.

Looks better in person!
I am loving the way this fits me. The fabric is dressier than it appears in the photos because there's a light sheen to it. From the photos, I thought it was a poplin. Can't wait to wear it to work with white denim.

It's an easy fit wrap dress and the sleeves are very flexible since they can be tied to fit. You have to look closely at the pics to see that the sleeves have a bit of a cold shoulder going on. I wore it to an all day work meeting and it was comfortable.

This dress is ready for a PARTY!
It's so cute and I would love it to wear to a party. It's gorgeous in person. I need a size 20 in some Tanya Taylor dresses but this one fit PERFECTLY in an 18. There's a hook and eye at the neckline so you dont have to worry about a cami underneath. It feels and looks expensive.

I'm this close to the dress fitting. If it were mine, I would probably be able to make it work with an alteration. The midsection for me is slightly too small. So disappointed! It's so beautiful!!

I think this would be more flattering on me in a longer length. It fits but draws attn to the midsection, not good for me. Not going to wear it.

Very cute
I need a little more room for the bottom half of this jumpsuit. The fabric is silky comfy. Also it's long in length. I would say this closer to a size 16-18, instead of 2X.

This dress feels so chic
I never thought I could feel so great wearing an all white dress. The cut of it it is so versatile and it has great pockets. The neckline is a nice v neck. The tie can be tied in front or back. It's kind of see through so I put on nude foundation pieces. Love this dress soo much !!!

My fave dress
Easy fit. I've rented tons of dresses from RTR and this is so comfortable and the silk fabric is so lightweight and the dress is lined. The sleeves are perfect, roomy but don't look sloppy. My boss gave me a compliment on it and said, "one of your Nordstrom purchases,right?" I happily had a 20 min RTR convo with him. : )

It's a really pretty dress and so feminine. This is fitted around the midsection and the sleeves were smallish on me. I'm 5"8 and this goes to my ankles. I received compliment after compliment on this one. Rent this dress.
