Beautiful dress, missing straps
This dress is primo👌🏼 ordered it for a gala but can’t wear as it does not come with the straps I saw in photos of the dress on other platforms. There are four loops for the straps, but I guess they’ve been lost along the way. If you’re busty, you’d probably want them. Otherwise, this is beautiful!! The photos only show a flat yellow color, but the material has a gold thread through it (think fine pinstripes), probably has a pretty glow under lights.

Another one from the jokesters at RTR...
This dress was so pilled and ratty looking that I didn't even bother trying it on. In the days of COVID, nobody wants to be reminded of just how many bodies may have been squeezed into a garment. And I do mean squeezed! By the look and feel, there's no way I could have gotten into this dress had I wanted to. Strike 3 of 3 on the dresses this month, I could have flushed my $100:(

Cheap. Cheap. Cheap.
Ill fitting and cheap looking. Large was way too small, XL fit on the bottom but was huge on top. Even the tie on the side looked mangled on both dresses I received. That's a NO. Couldn't wear.

Boobies Beware!
This dress is GORGEOUS! Perfect in almost every way. ALMOST. The color and print are beautiful, length is appropriate (I'm 5'9 and could easily wear this to work with heels), the pleats fell flat and swung beautifully, the waist was a perfect fit...and then the top wouldn't zip. It looked as though it would be a perfect, just the right amount of cleavage. But the size zip wasn't having it! Nothing is more disappointing than thinking your boobs look amazing in this perfect little dress, then realizing it's made for a 28 band. I'm a 34FF (European...maybe that's like an H American?), would say the largest this will accommodate is probably a 34B or 32C. I thought a Brazilian-made dress might be proportioned differently. :(

Eh.
Not for the hippy! I ordered a size up; would not have been able to pull this off, otherwise. Looks cute, but the fabric is some weird synthetic, seems cheap and the inside of the dress is white. Not crazy about the bell sleeves exposing the white. Others who complimented me seemed to like the dress more than i did.

On FIRE!
My boss was so wowed by this dress that he was worried I was going on an interview! Again, I ordered a 14 to be safe, but a 12 would have been more flattering. Either way, it fit well and was amazingly comfortable for a horribly long day! I went into work at 8:30am and didn't make it home until 3:30am! Dress didn't wrinkle, didn't lose its shape and didn't make me cranky in all that time. It has a lining that is actually cut properly for the dress (I always end up with a too-small, crooked or too-long lining!), moves with you, and has a cute lace detail on the bottom like a proper slip, should the lining show. A+, I would totally rent this again! Amazing rich and happy color for almost any skin tone or hair color.

Don't forget your bloomers!
Girl friend: "I WANT THAT!" Guy friend: "Hot!" Glad I ordered an XL! I am 5'9" and pretty busty (34DDD/FF), so this would have been a no-go had I gone any smaller. Beware, this thing is SHORT! Wore to work on a Friday - with black leggings and lace-up black Jimmy Choo ballet flats - and got rave reviews from my colleagues! The girls were gawking through the window before I even made it into the office! Super comfortable for what turned out to be a grueling 13-hour day. I was a little too brave and wore it a second time on a Saturday, this time without leggings! Perfect weekend wear, but it is seriously SO SHORT! It turned out to be a breezy day, so all of Worth Avenue got a nice shot of my tush a couple of times. Eek! Paired with nude Tory Burch ballet flats today, because I'm basic like that.
