So cute AND comfortable!
This is my new favorite dress maker. This is the third Hunter Bell style I've rented, and like the others, it's exceedingly flattering and comfortable. On this one, the fabric is fairly sturdy with a bit of texture-- great for a fall day in Southern California. The top is fitted and the skirt a bit looser. I found no bra was necessary, and it fit my body extremely well. (Small-waisted, wide-hipped, not too much boob). I'm usually a 4 or 6, and the 4 was perfect.

Favorite of all RTR dresses so far! Very flattering and comfortable.
Lovely unique fabric, very comfortable, very easy to wear. Did run long... I still wore flats though. Was good for my wide-hips, flat stomach, moderately chesty body.

Tiiight!
Turned out to be too tight for me-- I usually fit in a 4, sometimes a 6, but this wasn't available in the 6 for my dates. Couldn't wear it, but my sister did! Otherwise, it's flattering but revealing. Lovely color.

Lovely! Work appropriate and pretty. Color is a deeper, richer red than it appears in photos.
Comfortable and easy to wear. Only gripe is that the liner tends to bunch in places like the buttcrack. Dress also looked a bit worn in places--it's not in totally new condition. I'm usually a 4/6, and the 4 was slightly roomy. Overall happy with it though! Was complimented.

Matronly, not for hourglass shapes
Lovely fabric, and could be nice on a different body. For me, it was perhaps the least flattering thing I have ever tried on. It was tight across the shoulders, loose and baggy around my waist, and tight across my hips/butt -- so unflattering! But I have a 0.72 waist-to-hip ratio, which is quite a bit smaller than average. Also, the boob area was quite strange and seemed to impose a triangular shape on them. Additionally, the darts for the chest hit very low on me-- making mine look saggy. The fabric is pretty substantial, so it doesn't just fit your body, it has its own shape in mind. And the sleeves do not fit well. They wanted to fall off the shoulders. Overall, the dress just was not youthful in any way. Probably not ideal for the under-40 crowd. It wasn't what I thought it would be, based on the pictures. I thought the sleeve/thick fabric would be winter-appropriate but still cute.

Wonderful! Everyone said I should buy it. Cute Mad Men look.
My favorite RTR yet! It seems like it would be tacky (bright yellow and silver?!) but it's wonderful in person. A bit scratchy is my only complaint. It's more fitted in the bodice but loose on the hips. I almost wore the size 4, but it was just a bit too tight in the shoulders. It was pretty short on me but was very flattering. So many compliments!

Cute, but tight!
I wore it to a work Xmas party. It's a nice dress, and comfortable (pockets!), but it is skin tight! It was also pretty short on me (5'8"). And the zipper in the back was stiff and stuck out a bit awkwardly. Wouldn't wear it again, but it was pretty ok for the occasion.
