Lovely top - perfect for regular wear
I wore this to the office a couple of times and got so many compliments. The color and fabric are beautiful and it can truly be dressed up or down. I wore it once with jeans for a polished casual look and another time with suit pants for a more professional look. It was great both times. The top is a little boxy, as others have mentioned. But, the fabric moves nicely, so I didn't feel like my body was done any disservice by the straight shape. My only complaint is that the single button closure on the back (fabric covered button with loop) is a little difficult to work with and I needed help to button up in the morning the first time I wore it. The second time I was home alone so I kind of struggled, but managed. Oddly, getting it unbuttoned did not pose the same challenge.

A cute top - for someone else
The concept of this shirt is cute and it is consistent with other things that I wear, but this particular top did not work for me. I don't know if it was the waistband or the sleeves, or what was going on, but it just looked weird on me. I tried it on and it fit just fine, but it didn't do anything for my body. I tried it with both jeans and dress pants and I couldn't make it work, so I put it straight back in the bag and sent it back. I was really disappointed, as I liked the pattern and color.

Cute, but not for me.
It is very long. I was expecting a slightly below the knee dress, as the photo seems to indicate. But it went to my lower calf and since the fabric is a little heavy, it was too much for a summer dress. The piping is super cute, but the lines hit me in the wrong places. As to size, I read that it ran a touch small, so I got a 16, even though I wear a 14 pretty consistently. Even going up a size, it was pretty right around the ribs and bust. I could wear it, but it was snug.

Fun, Flirty Dress
I rented this dress for some "dress up" nights on a cruise. It was perfect. It fit nicely through the torso and flared out a bit at about hip level. There is a well-hidden (I didn't see it the first time I tried it on) side zip under the arm to help you shimmy it on without any trouble. The colors were great, but not overwhelming. The fabric was soft and comfortable - the silk was amazing without feeling "old". I would surely rent this dress (or similar) again in the future.

Great everyday top
I feel like this brand of tops runs a touch big, in general. This one is no exception, though there are some drawstrings on the sides to tighten it up a bit of necessary. I like the cut and color of this top and I had a lot of fun wearing it. I wore it to work a couple of times - once with jeans and once with slacks. It looked great both times. I also wore it a couple of times while I was on a cruise and I felt classy, yet casual.

REALLY Small
I wear a 14 - 16. I rented an 18. It was still so small. To top it off, this is a true wrap dress, almost like a kimono or robe. The bottom was roomy enough, but there was nowhere near enough room for my bust. The only thing holding the top together is a single hook and eye closure about half way up. If that gives way, there is a deep V -- all the way down to your navel.

Best Shirt Ever!
I really loved everything about this shirt. The fabric was soft and comfortable. The color was rich. The cut was excellent. I really liked the 3/4 sleeves that were more fitted towards the ends and loose through the arms. I wanted to keep this shirt so badly but I could not justify the $300+ price tag. I wore it to work multiple (like 6) times - with jeans, black slacks, and khaki pants. The top always looked great.

Cute dress but ran a bit big
I liked the color and cut of this dress a lot, but it was too big through the waist and midsection, making it somewhat unflattering. I might try it again in a smaller wiz, because I like the design a lot.

Great dress.
I loved this dress and really considered keeping it. The color was amazing and I loved the shape. Best of all, the fabric has some fairly significant weight to it, so it lays nicely. The only reason I did not buy the piece is that it has an odd seam across the weight that drew attention to my lower waist. If the dean was an inch or two higher, it would have been fine.

These are SO long
I actually didn’t wear them out of the house. The fit in the waist and hips, but the are SO long. I’m 5’6” and even with heels I couldn’t wear them.

Perfect dress for an evening event
I went into the Las Vegas store to pick out a dress for a semi-formal evening event the following day. I was exhausted and my only criteria was "I'd like a dress that won't look terrible on me." The ladies gave me a number of options and I left with this one. Overall - I was very happy. The dress fit well (though as others have mentioned, I probably could have dropped down a size). It landed just below my knees (I'm 5'6", the model in the photo must be 5'10" or more) and was incredibly comfortable. The fabric has a lot of weight to it, so the skirt keeps that structured look. It felt a little retro without looking too vintage. I got dozens of compliments. Given the opportunity, I'd buy it.

Great dress, perfect for the event.
I rented this dress for a formal, professional event. I decided last timinute to try something new (RTR) and stopped into the LV location the morning of the event. This was the last dress I tried on and I was instantly in love. It was perfect for my body and perfect for the event. I got so many compliments on it. It fit well, fitted but not too tight. The length was good. I would have loved it an inch or so longer, but it was fine as-is. The neckline was not too low, but low enough to be very flattering. All in all, a great piece. I could not have been happier.
