Fun and comfy dress
Because the arm holes gap (a lot), I wore a white jean jacket over the dress and loved it.

If you want to hide your figure, this dress is for you!
If you want to hide inside a huge dress, you might love this dress. It's more like a Mumu.

Deep opening beneath arm openings
Beautiful material. However, there are deep openings beneath the arm holes equal to the front plunging neckline. If you wear a tube or bralette, IMO, would take away from the beautiful material. I did not wear for that reason.

Beautiful fabric
These have a nice stretch quality to them, and I found the 6 to be too large for me. I rented the 4 and it was perfect. I might even purchase the 4. I am normally a 6, so these might be running a little large. They were too long for my 5'3" height, but folded under by one hem, the length was perfect. If I purchase I will have permanently altered.

Very long and strange sleeves
Very well made dress. I found it to run small. The openings of the sleeves was too large, and it was just too long for me (5'3"). There is also a slight 'cap' to the sleeve, but the openings were just too large.

Boxy fit
The color is pretty, more orange than red. It is a lovely top, but too boxy for my shape. If you have a midsection you need to hide, this would do it. It's a lovely and well made top from a designer I greatly like.

Pretty maxi, but...
The navy cotton is easily wrinkled and collects lint. The stand-up collar is funky and I was constantly trying to keep it straight. Not my favorite rental. Returning.

A little boxy
Beautiful color. Not much shape. It is a little boxy. Runs large, so there should be plenty of room to wear over a sweater. I did not wear because it did very little to define shape.

Beautiful material
I love the way this dress complements an hour glass figure. The other reviews mentioned that it lacked the wow factor of other patterns by this designer. (hot pink and leopard print) and that is my opinion as well. Beautiful material and flow. Runs true to size.

The color of the fabric is fabulous. The cotton material does not feel fabulous... Someone mentioned that it made a great swimsuit coverup - I agree.

I wanted to love this dress, but it added pounds and was just too much with all those ruffles. It will be perfect for someone else - it just didn't work for me.

Runs small and chest is very tight.
I love the buttery color, and this dress can be dressed up or down. Unfortunately, I was unable to wear because the chest area was just tooooo tight! I think this dress would be very flattering on a pencil figure. Back it goes - unworn.

Tooooo TINY !! Is the sizing wrong ??
I normally wear size 12 in pants. This size 12 was ridiculously tiny ! They could have been an 8 or a small 10. Huge disappointment. I wish they had been sized correctly because the fabric is truly beautiful. They were new with tags - and I was prepared to purchase. Back they go !! I would have given 5 stars for the quality. I gave 4 stars for the improper sizing. This size 12 was so tiny, I do not see how a 14 could possibly work for me. (I have actually lost a little weight - I checked !). No photos! Impossible to zip!

Beautiful fabric, but frumpy
The details are amazing, and this dress is very well made. It just needed something to define the waist, and a belt didn't help. It didn't work for me, but the details are intricate and lovely.

Toooooo tiny!
I would give 5 stars, but the sizing is off !! I usually wear size 10-12. A size 12 in pants is my go-to size with amply room and comfort. I could not zip this size 12 !! This 12 fit more like an 8 or even a 6. I was almost cut in half !! Something must be wrong with the sizing, or this was a sizing error. Sadly - back it goes. The fabric is beautiful.

I wore this dress to 5 different events - then decided I absolutely had to buy it.
Because it was long on my 5'3" frame, I added a navy belt and "shortened " it by blousing it over the top of the belt. Now that I bought it, I might just hem it a little. Love it!!! Beautiful color and flow fabric! Hubby said "buy it"! I did:-). Thank you RTR

Huge and heavy!
This is a beautiful coat. The collar is amazing and can be pulled up into a hood. Cons: It is VERY heavy (almost 5 lbs) and scratchy around the neck area where there is no lining. I returned without wearing.

Too much going on.
Beautiful fabric and very well made. The front part of the asymmetrical hem needed ironing which is the only negative thing I can say about this dress. However, with the bold design, and all of the different shapes and angles going on, I felt like I needed to tame a wild zebra. It was overwhelming for my 5.3" frame and I will be returning.. Also, I am a 12/10, and the 12 was too large for my waist and around the arm/chest area. A size 10 would have been better for me, but was not available. I think it is a dress for a taller frame.
