Too thick for a summer dress
This dress overwhelmed my small torso, and the material was very thick. I normally am very much in support of thicker material dresses for the intense summer air conditioning, but this material didn't breathe and so it felt very hot when I went outside. Perhaps better for a cooler day or spring. Lots of potential, but didn't work out for my body type and preferences.

Fun day dress!
I had such fun wearing this dress! Full skirt with lots of material with also pockets and lots of twirl potential. It is more of a casual style and material, so it can be dressed down easily for a day of low-key fun but you still feel the urge to dress up. Longer than I usually go, and my usual size actually felt a bit loose, but I didn't have a second size to compare it against, so I am rating it as "true to size."

Solid casual summer dress
The fit, material, and style were all solid, but at the same time nothing really stood out to be about the dress. True to size. Neutral dress for those days when you want to look good for pictures but don't need to stand out too much.

Mixed feelings
I liked the color and the florals, and for a summer dress, the heavy material is actually quite nice for the heavily air-conditioned indoors! However, I wasn't quite sold on the extreme cold shoulder style and the baggy fit of the lower half of the dress. I think it would be more flattering if the fit were closer to the body. This may be a point of personal preference though. True to size.

Fun, flowy dress
I brought this dress with me for a beach vacation, and it was the perfect setting for it. It flowed dreamily whenever I walked, and the front can be short enough to be flirty (watch out for wind!). My picture doesn't do it justice. I wore my usual size, and the arms were a tad tight, but you can also see that my arms aren't slim. There is plenty of stretch in the dress, but I would size up just to be safe.

Too small
I rented this for a white dress look for my beach vacation, but unfortunately my usual size was way too small, and there was absolutely zero stretch in the fabric. I was not able to wear the dress at all. You may have to size up two sizes to be able to zip this one up!

Beautiful dress and loved the color. Flattering style. I wore it for a week-long stay at a resort, and it was perfect for some pre-dinner beach pictures. Runs very small, though - be sure to size up!

Perfect wedding guest dress
Beautiful color and perfect knee length for a wedding. The V cut was a little lower than I had intended, and I was a tad nervous the entire time about slipping. I did had to go with a size smaller than usual, since the waist was pretty forgiving, and the neckline held up better.

Compliments all night!
Great dress for a winter wedding in February! I was worried that with my relatively flat chest that it wouldn't be flattering, but it turned out great, and I received compliments all night. The shoulder area is a little wide, so as a gal with shoulders that slope down, I had to keep popping the shoulders back on in order not to let the girls slip out!

This dress was beautiful and fun to wear. It was lined pretty thickly so it was perfect for the fall wedding that I attended. The skirt is twirly and has pockets! Fits true to size. I'm 5'1", 32C, 120 lbs, and the 4 was a perfect fit.

Gorgeous color & flattering fit
This dress hugged my minimal curves in all the right ways and was a gorgeous shade of pure blue. It worked very well for my skin tone and was just bright enough for the night cruise wedding we attended. I'm 5'1" and a 32C, and the size 4 fit perfectly and at the ideal length. Sorry I don't have a full-length picture, I guess I was enjoying the event too much to remember to take one for the RTR community!

More flattering than the picture suggests!
This dress fit perfectly and was unexpectedly flattering on my straight & narrow frame - it hugged my body in just the right parts! Loved the flair of the ruffles on the bottom. It was just a tad longer than I hoped for on my petite frame, though. Overall, great dress!

Okay dress
This dress was just okay. Material was good, color was good, and had straps that you could tie to fit to your waist. However, the straps weren't long enough, so I didn't quite have enough material to make my bow look presentable. The slit in the front was unexpected, so this turned out to be more of a wrap dress, which is not my preferred style. Maybe that's why I felt ambivalent about it.

Flattering color and hugs your body
This dress was a great jewel-tone color that is flattering. Sizing was perfect and hugged my body in just the right places. The low back is a nice touch that makes it flirty. However, the length was shorter than expected and wasn't quite appropriate for my needs, unfortunately.

More casual than expected
Runs large - my usual 4 was huge, and I ended up not being able to wear it. The material was also more summer, light, and thin than expected. Even though it's a tuxedo style, it definitely feels more casual.

Runs extra large
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to wear this because the sizing ran too large. I think I would have to go down two or more sizes to fit! The material is very thick and felt foamy, which wasn't too bad, but definitely strange. Otherwise, it would've been pretty. Nice flowers and contrast with the lines.

Difficult to pull off
I wore it to work, but I felt like I didn't pull it off very well. I think you need a narrow frame. Also, the wrap didn't feel very secure. I had to really sit on the dress to keep the slit under control while I was sitting!

I got compliments all over for this dress. I wore it during winter, so I wore it with a pair of black tights, which worked well. Love the pockets! The tweed gave it just the right touch of flair. Good for work and every day.

Light material, baby-doll fit, gorgeous flower detail
The flowery detail on the bottom really popped out against the dark color and made the dress. Got compliments on the dress, but it was of a lighter material than expected and too cold for me to wear, even with tank top and tights underneath. I personally don't appreciate the baby-doll style, where it kind of flares out underneath the chest area.

Surprisingly flattering.
Wore this to a couple of parties and to work, and worked well. I usually don't go for a straight-through/shapeless dress, but this was surprisingly flattering. Nice dark blue color and beading at the neck makes this dress perfect for more conservative and serious events.

Great color. Sequins made it pop in dim show lighting. Subtle high/low is flattering for petite women. Pockets! The low-V back adds a bit of spice, too. Got compliments all over social media.

Loved the color, but the shape isn't as flattering as other fit-and-flares.
Great length, great color. But somehow this dress didn't have the flattering effect of other fit-and-flares that I've worn.
