Loved it!
Kate Spade never disappoints! Loved everything about this dress. Great year round in all climates. I wore it in winter weather with a pair of thermal tights, but could totally see myself wearing it in the summer with some wedge sandals!

OBSESSED
Shoshanna never disappoints! I'm totally obsessed with this super bright number. If I was to make any negative remark it would be that it was a touch too big in the waist and a touch too small in the hip, but not enough to make me concerned. Super fun!

lovely for hourglass
Great dress for daytime or work. Especially lovely fit for hourglass. I was pleasantly surprised at how nice the coverage was on the bust! I often find with wrap dresses they expose a ton of cleavage but this one was modest in a really nice way.

a bit tight on the hips
I loved this dress! It was a bit too small in the hips but worked because of the faux wrap front. I think I'd need to size up to have the hips fit better but it would be too large in the waist if I did...

not great for hourglass
I LOVED this dress and got so many compliments. But if I'm completely honest it was a really bad fit on my hourglass figure. The waist was too big and the hips a touch too tight. I normally go for a size 8 but got a 10 in this. The waist on me was really baggy and the hips fit very snug in the size 10. My usual size 8 definitely wouldn't have fit my hips.

Very Warm!
I was almost TOO hot in this! Great for being outside but maybe almost overly toasty for being in a warm space inside for long. Loved the look, but just a heads up it was a tiny bit itchy.

husband loved it
I liked this dress but wasn't crazy wowed by it because it was a little bit big in the top for me. I did really like the style of it though. But my husband LOVED it on me and said he was so happy that I'm using RTR because it's so fun to see me try different dresses everyday.

A little bit big.
I usually wear an 8-10 so I thought going for the large was appropriate, but I think I could have gotten away with the medium. It was really pretty but felt just a bit too big.

Not as charming in person
I'm not exactly sure what I expected of this dress but I was a tad underwhelmed. I ordered a size up to have some extra comfort in my hips, but don't think I really needed to. It's cute, but didn't WOW me, you know?

Not made for tall & curvy
I got this as something fun and adventurous to try and it didn't work out. Too short for my 5'11" frame (both in the legs and the torso), and not really built for girls with fuller figures. I am normally an 8-10 but went for the 12 in this because I knew it might be too short for my torso if I didn't. It didn't work out for my, but it is really pretty and fun. Best suited for more average to petite frames I think (But I feel that way about reformation as a whole brand)

Va Va Voom
I was not expecting this dress to be so revealing! It's really fun and comfortable to wear, but I guess I didn't realize how plunging the neckline is. Realistically I need to either go braless with petals, or wear a long line coordinating bralette to make this work. It would be pretty as a coverup at the beach or pool too!

size up for large bust
I really love this dress. For hourglass & larger busts I would size up unless you like a more exposed look. It's fine for me in my everyday, but would be too revealing for an office setting. Might be really cute with a pretty lacy bralette

SO CUTE
This was unfortunately a little snug on my tall curvy frame, but heck was it cuuuuute!!! I think if I wasn't so tall it would have still been a winner with some shapewear, but it was just too short to be worn "as-is". I ended up tossing a pair of black biker style shorts underneath and wore it as a sporty-vibe.

Convo starter
I wore this to a night club (my husband was DJing) and man did it garner a TON of attention. Totally a conversation piece, everyone wanted to know who it was by. I dressed it down with a faux leather waist cincher and some big ol'boots. It's very lovely and easy to wear, no weird undergarments required.

Cool Cat Vibes
This runs a little small, especially for curvy hourglass figures. It was a bit too short, but not unusually so since I'm tall. It got lots of compliments and I felt sexy in it even though there was a bit of pulling it up and pulling it down through the night.

Easy transition for summer to fall
Love the seasonal versatility of this dress. Can easily go from summer to fall and honestly even winter with some fleece tights. Edgy but a little bit sweet. Would totally rent again!

LOVE this print
This dress was super easy to wear, I wore it 3 times before reluctantly returning it and have definitely considered buying it. It's easy to dress up or down. I truly obsessed with the print! Watercolor stained glass ocean-y vibes.

couldn't even get it partially zipped
I was SO SAD when I tried this dress on because it runs SO SMALL. I admittedly have fuller hips, but I couldn't even begin to get the zipper going. I wish I could just size up, but I know that with only one larger size than what I tried it still wouldn't work. I would either size up a couple from your normal size or just skip this one if you have a round booty! If you're more narrow through the hips though this might work great for you. It's really a shame for me as this dress is beautiful.

surprised this was ribbed
Didn't expect this to have a ribbed texture but it's kind of neat! Fit great (snug but in a good way), made me feel pretty, and hubby loved it too! You could style this so many ways depending on your personal style, super versatile.

tight on hips
This dress is beautiful and the fabric is slinky and sexy. My husband loved the way it felt and wanted to touch me all night! Unfortunately it was quite tight across my hips and butt making it a little uncomfortable to wear. It would probably fit fine with some shapewear or if I went a size up (although it might be a bit loose in the waistline if I size up)
