Great dress, wrinkles easy: here's how to put it on
To put it on, step into it and zip the zipper on the side. Then pull the top part up so the circle is below your chest. Put your arms through the holes in that fabric so that the clasp part that looks like a bra strap is clasped on the side of your body and not in the back. Pull the front part of the Dress up and tie the top strings up behind your neck, positioning the capelet over your shoulders. Then tie the second lot of strings together in the back. This dress is so gorgeous. Extremely heavy though and like everyone else said, wrinkles so easily that you'll only look good for about 30 minutes before the creasing begins

So ill fitting it was unwearable
The top of this was so big and the straps so long, it hung in an awful manner. Truly an unflattering dress if ever I saw one

Reminded me of the flared ruffled top that Jim Carey wears on the mask
Could not bring myself to wear this as it made me look incredibly top heavy, not in a fashion forward way. Felt a little cartoonish

Nice every day dress but also you can do much better given RTR inventory
True to size, very nice but nothing to blow your mind

Extremely unflattering
I sized down to 2 from my usual 4 and it still looked pretty horrific. Gotta be super tall to pull this one off. Let the picture speak for itself.

Extremely low cut
Gorgeous dress but extremely low cut. Your bra will be showing all night. I covered it with my hair but I wouldn't want to wear this one if modesty was needed

Fit on bottom, top was HUGE
Very strange fit. The top was enormous but the bottom fit fine. I couldn't have gone down to a 2 because that would have been too small. Don't recommend for smaller breasts

This dress is kinda indecent
This was a LOT of cleavage. Incredibly low cut, and with the cutouts, it didn't feel at all like I would be comfortable, far too exposing despite being very flattering. Underboob could be an issue too

Too short to wear when it's REALLY cold
You'll get cold wearing this in a real winter scenario. It's cute and all but the crop makes it harder to style when it's cold outside

Very cozy fall sweater but...
Odd fit. The scarf part when wrapped is very heavy, almost causing a weight imbalance which noticeably pulls you towards one side. Also, one of the arms is much longer than the other, without pushing it up like in the model pic it's around 8 inches longer than the other sleeve and actually reaches almost to your knee

Can't believe the retail price of this
It's just a fine sweater. The knit has a polyester feel and it's not a cozy sweater at all, feels kind of scratchy and I didn't like wearing it without long sleeves underneath. I can't believe there are people who would pay 1200 dollars for this!

So scruffy. You'll never get this to look good because of how wrinkled it arrives
Just terrible. The sleeves are so rumpled and wrinkled when it arrives, like when you wash something that's tied into a knot. No amount of ironing can make it good I would strongly advise against renting

Gorgeous but unfinished Hem makes it look a little scruffy
Thick fabric, can we sweaty if you're indoors. Here's a pic of the hem, you can't see from far away but it's unfinished and not the greatest. Still 5 stars from me but worth noting the hem as that bothered me a little

Stunning! A little on the short side though so maybe not for daytime wear
I thought I could wear this in a low key way but it's very short and was more appropriate for evening. I put this dress on and fell in love immediately. Is warm, comfortable, super flattering and I wish to own it. One of my fave RTRs.

Unflattering fit

Too small
Very small fit, didn't get to wear it. I'm a size two usually, but even size 4 was too small. However, the quality is superb, gorgeous details and coloring. At 5 foot 4, I found it a little short for day time wear.

This runs small, one size up
Very flattering, sexy too, but runs small. Couldn't wear

So so stunning but absolutely no stretch in the waistband
I'm a solid size two but the waistband of this was so tight it throttled me. No stretch in it and while it looked absolutely fabulous it actually left marks after 5 minutes of trying on. It is sooooo gorgeous though, I will try a size up and make it work. It's super heavy and may be very hot during the day.

It's a lot of dress
Super oversized. I thought about it for ages and finally decided to wear it against my better judgement because it really overwhelmed my frame and was very unflattering. However, I truly felt fab in it, very fashion forward and it was fun to wear. Nice to mix it up sometimes.

Lovely dress
I got this as part of my unlimited. It's a gorgeous dress, very unusual and very comfortable. May not be good for a super hot day because the fabric is very thick and has multiple layers. It's suitable to be worn during the day with flats and can be dressed up. No proper bra can be worn, but a Nubra worked to make the girls look less flattened ;)

Rent immediately!
It really photographs beautifully and was incredibly comfortable. It looks extremely expensive and I felt like a million dollars in it.

So flirty and feminine
I wore this to renew my wedding vows and it was absolutely stunning. To say I felt better in this dress than I did on my actual wedding day is an understatement. It is incredibly flattering with the nipped in waist and flared skirt, with boning on the inside of this dress really sucks you in in all the right places. The detailing on the neckline is absolutely stunning. My only complaint is the same as the other reviewers' - the zipper is INCREDIBLY difficult to do up on your own. Also really hard to get down, which makes for some frustrating moments. I wore it casually with a pair of brown leather sandals and some cat eye sunglasses and felt Betty Draper all day. I would definitely rent this again.

Wore with time of your life dress
Gorgeous earrings, big enough to show even when wearing your hair down, but not at all heavy and uncomfortable.

I wore this with the time of your life dress and it was a perfect match
Good size for lipstick and other items, and big enough to keep your phone.

Gorgeous dress, though definitely showing signs of wear
This dress is really comfortable - a very very soft fabric, but sadly 100% polyester fabric, including the lining, This makes it a little sweaty in hot weather. I got a size 6 and a size 4, and ended up wearing the 4. Unless I had the two dresses to compare, I probably would not have noticed - but the size 4 was obviously in a much worse condition than the 6. Where the 6 had up to 10 layers of tulle throughout the skirt - the four had only as little as 4 in some places which meant it was not as fluffy and bouncy, which could be a good or bad thing depending on what you like. The tulle itself shows a lot of wear, but you would only notice I guess if you lifted up the skirt and closely inspected it. Indeed the tulle on the 4 was greying slightly, and not the gorgeous nude pink I was expecting. The lace cutouts on the dress neckline kept getting tucked into the dress, which meant the neckline sometimes didn't look exactly as displayed on the images. I guess a little starching of that area would have been great. Those are the negatives. However these are completely ignored when you consider the sheer beauty of the dress. Absolutely gorgeous. So feminine, so flattering, I think it would really be difficult to not look amazing in this dress. I would rent it again and felt like a million dollars all night.
