Flattering!
I don't love how I look right now, but I felt so good in this dress. I got compliments all night and several girlfriends asked where I got it.

Fun, Flattering & Good for Small Waist Big Hips
Wore these a ton. Almost bought. It’s hard to find pants with a (relatively) smaller waist that fit my bigger thighs and hips. These were perfect. The stitching is elongating and flattering.

Comfortable, Weird Back
Super comfortable. Waist is giving. Plenty of room in the legs. A little long for me but still doable with a heel. I didn't like the back; no back pockets looks weird and is unflattering on me.

Cute and Comfy
Wore this to a weeknight dinner out. Paired with dark denim shorts. Very comfortable. The fabric is heavy but in a good way - it is forgiving over curves and settles nicely.

Not a Summer Sweater
This has sequins on the collar and it’s too heavy for summer wear. I couldn’t find a way to make this work. Didn’t wear.

Cute Napa Wine Tasting
Wore with a thin gold belt to give it a little more shape. Added a denim jacket. I wore with heels most of the day, but switched to flats and dress length still worked without any floor drag (I’m 5’4”). Very comfy, light, and flattering. Love the pockets.

So heavy - didnt wear
It fit fine. There was a little stretch which made me feel secure in it once zipped up. However, it was so much fabric. It felt heavy but I was also cold while wearing / trying it on. Don’t like the heavy look on me.

Just Okay
The silhouette is flattering / forgiving. The bodice is weird though; I think it made my chest (C) look smaller, in a bad way. Overall, it was okay. I ended up not wearing it.

Not Great
Not good if you have hips and a booty. Also, it’s super short. I was too uncomfortable in this to wear it.

Disproportionate Top
Loved the bottom, waist down, of this dress. The top was so big and long. I have a long torso. C cup size. And the chest / neck was way too big and long. And even if I pinned or taped the top in, the coverage of my chest was so minimal that I couldn’t wear this.

Derby Party Dress
Loved this dress. It was so comfortable and flattering; I was worried about the cutouts but they hit at a good spot. There were some comments about tight arms. I have big-ish arms and this worked okay for me. It wasn’t loose on my arms, but also didn’t bother me. I wore this to a derby party and paired it with a white jacket when I got cold. Received lots of compliments and felt comfortable all night.

Meh.
I have a long torso and this is short. I wanted to wear to work (business casual) and I didn't have higher waisted pants to pair with, but that would have helped I think.

Perfect for a wedding on the beach!
The cut and color of this dress were what made it for me. The neckline gives it just enough of something different to stand out. The a-line waist is flattering and comfortable. Both the size 4 and the 6 worked for me, but I have a long torso so the 6 was just a bit longer. The only real negative for me was the bust-line stitching was very awkwardly placed (seemingly for a smaller bust though I'm only a 34B); while it bothered me and I noticed all night, my husband swore that he couldn't tell (for whatever that's worth).

Loved the Color and Cut
I wore this when my first option didn't work out, but after trying it on, this should have been my first choice anyway. The color was great. It's a standout cut/fit though the pictures on the RTR website (& the one picture I added) don't do this dress justice. Loved the pockets. It's comfortable and classic with just enough of something (color or other) to make it standout. I received many positive comments throughout the night. One negative was that the lining of this dress hung out/below the hem line on one side, but I fixed it with safety pins and it was a non-issue after that.

First Option - Had to Go With Second Option
I knew I was taking a chance with this one. It was my first choice, but I ended up wearing my backup option (a bright yellow Kate Spade dress, the same shape as this one but without the cutouts). I loved the color of this dress and the shape. The downfall for me was the cutouts. They just didn't hit in the right place for me. I am relatively short (5'4") but have a long torso. Generally, the slimness of my midsection is something I try to accentuate with waistlines, but this did not do that for me because of where the cutouts hit.
