Tight in the bust but otherwise perfect.
I LOVED this dress. Perfect flowy fabric, great midi length even for someone 5'4", and arms fit perfectly. The bust was tight to used fabric tape, somewhat unsuccessfully, to hold the top closed. I'd suggest going up one size if you're bigger on top.

Comfortable, polished work dress
I wore this to an important meeting for work and felt great. The buttons are functional, so I used fashion tape between them all to hold the top closed, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to wear it. Fabric is slightly thinner than expected but great for a spring event.

Easy polished work look
Loved this jacket and got lots of compliments. I wore it with cream pants and brown shoes like the photo. It did run a little big, and maybe would have been more flattering if it were more cropped, but still loved it.

Loved this dress.
Sleeves were bigger than expected but made it fun. I wore this to a festive Christmas Eve dinner with black tights and ankle boots. I hated sending this back and would def consider renting again.

Perfect rehearsal dinner dress.
I wore this to my sister's rehearsal dinner, and am still getting compliments. It's SHORT, but super fun. Fabric is very high quality. I loved it.

Perfect.
I might buy this one. The material is exactly the right weight, the cut is very flattering, and the neckline makes an otherwise pretty standard-feeling shift dress interesting. I loved it.

Beautiful dress, lots of fabric, short torso.
I really wanted to love this one. The torso was too short and the waist hit me at a very unflattering place. The fabric is all very spandex-y, and there is a lot of it in the skirt.

No give!
I knew something was up when the RTR bag that showed up weighed twice as much as it usually does. This dress is THICK and has no stretch at all. I couldn't get either size over my shoulders. Didn't wear at all.

Gorgeous high-end dress, perfect for spring wedding.
I probably needed a size 4, but only 3 and 5 were available so this was very slightly big on top. Nevertheless, I loved wearing it, and got tons of compliments. I didn't have any problem with the short slip and sheer bottom as others have mentioned. The top also didn't pucker for me. I wore a sticky nubra since a traditional strapless would have showed in the back. It was also a good length for me.

Top and middle were snug.
Fabric was stiffer and poofier than expected. Struggled to zip top and breathe so didn't wear. Cute pattern but poor fit.

Fit great but colors not good for me.
The sleeves were a little bigger than I was expecting, and the colors didn't look great on me so opted not to wear.

Needs fashion tape but great for baby shower.
This is low-cut but felt okay w it taped down. Otherwise didn’t find it clingy or sheer as others have said. Just the right length. Wore with boots bc of the weather but would be cute with sandals. Would have considered keeping if not for the low neckline.

Top is tight if you’re busty or have broad shoulders.
Pinned the top bc it kept gaping but otherwise loved.

Way too long. Didn’t wear.
The top for well and is pretty customizable because it’s a real wrap, but it was well past my knees and looked silly.

Wanted to love, but just not right. Didn’t wear.
I really tried to love this. I sized up bc the top was too tight and it didn’t get better. This might work better for someone taller but as interesting as it was, it just did me no favors. Didn’t wear.

Comfortable, flattering, perfect for a black-tie work event
This was so comfortable and flattering. Could have amped up the cleavage but was at a work event. Top is stretchy, but 6 was still too snug.
