Cute but so itchy!
I had to change clothes halfway through the day and had a huge rash on my neck!

So cute and versatile!
I loved this so much I bought it. The texture of the fabric is lovely and the shape of the dress is perfect and flattering. My body is hourglass, but with bigger hips/thighs and smaller arms and ribcage. The neckline is great for showing off a collarbone, but high enough to be work appropriate. I wore it for a work thing, then again for a night out.

Dress it up a bit before you dismiss this one!
I hated it when I first tried it on. But then I decided to give it a shot anyway. I put on some jewelry and wedge ankle boots and it really brought the dress to life! It’s comfy and lightweight and nice for everyday.

Perfect black jeans
Needed some black jeans in a larger size than normal until I lost my extra covid lbs. LOVED these jeans - they were comfortable and flattering, I wore them over and over again! (I rented a size 30 and was about 150 lbs at the time - a perfect fit!)

So lovely!
It was a bit big in the shoulders and very fitted through the rib cage. The fabric gets a tiny bit wrinkly, but because of the texture, you don't really notice it. The "floufs" on the shoulders didn't stand up, but they looked fine down. It's very low cut, so be prepared to either show some cleavage or use lots of fashion tape! The silhouette is gorgeous and I felt very glamorous!

Kinda cute, wrinkles easily
Lots of compliments on the color. Fit a little big on the top, a 2 would have fit better I think. If wrinkles bother you, I wouldn't pick this. A few hours of sitting and it was horribly creased.

Sophisticated, but annoying to get into
If you've ever had a dress that is very beautiful and sophisticated and thought "if only this dress were annoyingly hard to get into!" this is the dress for you. For some reason, the designer decided that the zipper in the back shouldn't go all the way to the top, but should stop short of that so that the collar is one whole connected piece. This means you can't step into the dress and zip up - you have to pull it on over your head. Which is super annoying with such a fitted dress. Do your hair, put on your makeup and deodorant, AFTER you put the dress on. Other than that, it's a super chic dress. Beautiful fabric, well made, fits like a glove.

Too short
At 5'6" the S was way to short for work. It also fit strangely, much shorter in the front than in the back. Cute print though. If I were several inches shorter, it would have been great!

Cute, but SHORT
I don't know if sizing up would have solved this problem, but this dress was too short for work and it kept riding up... I spent all day tugging it down. Unfortunate, because it's otherwise a fantastic dress. I'm not sure if it the sleeves would be too long on someone shorter (they were the perfect length on me), so the proportions seem off...

WAAAAAAY too short.
The fit was pretty true to size, except that it was so short it barely covered my bum. If I lifted my arms up, all was exposed - front and back. I'm just under 5'6", so maybe a little taller than average. I think you'd have to be fairly petite to make this one work.

Fun for summer, hard to zip
Pros: this dress is fun and summer-y and I got compliments all day long! Also, LOVE the deep pockets. The material feels great to wear and lays nicely. Fits very true to size. Cons: it took like 5 full minutes to zip up! The zipper stuck in 3 separate places and even when it wasn't "stuck" it was tough to move. In addition, there was a hole in the dress by the zipper that I had to safety pin closed. Also, the dress arrived very wrinkly- I had to iron!

Fun hemline, love the pockets
I love a dress with pockets - no evening bag required! There is no give in the waist of this dress and it's a pretty snug fit, so if you're planning to eat, this may not be the dress for you. Others complained of stepping on the lace - I didn't find that to be a big issue, I may have stepped on it once or twice (I'm about 5'6" and was wearing probably 3" heels). Think about your footwear ahead of time. I'm not a shoe person, but MAN your feet are really on display in this dress - like, perfectly framed. So, plan ahead. The neckline was a bit more low cut in person than in the pic, but I liked it - it was very flattering.

Cute Print, Roomy
This was a very cute A-line shift dress. It was very comfortable and I loved the pockets. However, I would have sized down as it was a bit too roomy for my liking. I think a 0 would have been perfect for me, but I am pretty small up top. Still a 2 was manageable and the print was fabulous. I enjoyed wearing it to work.

Too long!!
This is a gorgeous dress that was PERFECT, except for one thing. It was WAY too long. I am 5'6", 125 lbs and I rented the 2R. It fit like a glove, but I would have needed 4-5" heels and I think it still would have hit the floor. So disappointed, because it was beautiful otherwise.

This was a very fun skirt that I wore to the office. It ran a bit large, I wish I had gone a size down.

Comfortable, fun - and pockets!!
I got this dress for a gala using my unlimited membership and it was a great dress for the occasion. It was very unique and the dots kind of shimmer a light blue color when the light hits, which you can't tell from the pictures. It also has nice deep pockets, perfect for my cell phone. The bra was a challenge. I had to use a NuBra, unhooked and turned upside down to give me some shape. That said, it worked well and I was comfortable all night. I definitely recommend this dress if you're looking for something fun and different!

Too small.
I usually wear a size 2-4, at 125 lbs, 5' 6". This was quite tight and short, didn't work at all. In a 6 it probably would have been great, it's a very cool dress.

Lots of compliments
I was surprised that it felt a bit lightweight and flimsy, but I suppose it's good that it wasn't super heavy around my neck. And I got a ton of compliments on it. Cute necklace!

A very fun party dress
I wasn't 100% sold when I first put it on. The small was not quite as fitted as I would have liked, so I went with the XS. The good: it is a really fun dress; the back is very cute; and I got a ton of compliments. The questionable: the waistline hits at a place that isn't super flattering--not a drop waist, but low enough that it hit (at least for me) on a wide part of my waist; and it is quite short (at least the XS was)--reaching for items on a high shelf was out of the question. The good far outweighed the questionable, though, and I really enjoyed wearing it. Note that you have to be careful with jewelry that has prongs because it will tend to catch on the lace.

Not what I was hoping for
I am about to send this dress back without wearing it. I had high hopes for it, but it wasn't what I was looking for. For one thing, it is much bulkier and heavier than I realized and seemed to add pounds. The biggest problem was with the crossover top, which fit too loosely and really added bulk as it doubled on top of itself. I tried a size 4 and 6, noting that the stylists said that curvier women should size up. If it had been tighter on top and nipped in a bit at the waist, it might have been better (note: it actually fit pretty well in the hips, but a 2 clearly would have been better on top--what's a curvy girl to do?). The last problem was that it was very scratchy, I can imagine that by the end of the night it would have done some damage. This was my first experience with RTR--better luck next time, I guess!
