Just lovely
Very easy and effortless to wear. It's perfect for daytime or dinner. Love this un-fussy dress. Very forgiving fit.

Magical maxi dress
I liked this so much, I ended up buying it. This dress is not your average maxi, the design and material are really special. Now that I own it, I will alter the straps so they fit better and shorten the hem since it's not really made for petite women. That being said-- it's gorgeous as it is. Highly recommend.

Simple and effortless. Perfect for vacation
This dress is effortless. This works well for vacation or a summer dinner date. There is a slit in the front, but not enough to make you feel self-conscious. The dress fits well while still feeling breathable.

More than your basic LWD
Loved the daisy design. It's a simple, yet universally flattering silhouette. Wore this walking around all day in the city without feeling uncomfortable. You can dress it up or down depending on your mood/the occasion.

Stand-out color, but not a stand-out material
The color is a stand-out, but my biggest issue with the dress was the material. It does not breathe, and despite the billowy nature of the skirt-- you feel hot and constructed while wearing it. Not my favorite, but it does photograph well....so there's that.

Super cute and it has pockets!
The fit is perfect, buttons up in the front and there was no issue with gaping. The pockets are roomy. The skirt hits at the knees for us petite girls, which is totally fine. Very cute!

Springtime dress that gets you many compliments!
This dress is very cute and the pockets are plus! The neckline is a bit low and because the chest runs slightly too big -- maybe plan to use fashion tape or wear a camisole. Otherwise, great pattern that is perfect as the flowers start to bloom.

Perfect fit and a silhouette with a twist
Loved this dress. I have liked everything from Tanya Taylor -- but this has been my favorite by far.

Wonderful vacation dress. Love the cherry print!
Super cute dress for a vacation! Only thing I would warn is that the straps run disproportionately larger so be prepared for that.

Super cute dress, but size waayyyy up!
Light fabric, but pairs well with leggings for the winter. Wore it for a dinner date with the hubby. Size up, unless you don't mind a tight fit around the abdomen.
Snake Print Button Dress
The Kooples
Size Worn: 3
Usual Size: 8

A gorgeous, colorful dress with a great silhouette
Fits great and has pockets! The tie around the waist and the straps need to be ironed thoroughly in order to lie flat. But the colors are so eye catching.

Very comfortable once you size up
The overall fit is a bit small. I had to size up -- but once I did I was very happy. I also had to use a lot of fashion tape since the buttons have large gaps between them. The fabric is very soft and has a nice floaty feeling.

Fun almost 70s inspired dress that is perfect for work or any occasion!
Comes with a belt to cinch in the waist. Love the pattern and the fit. Clings a bit in the winter time, so use anti static guard and you will be fine.

Super cute dress for work
Love the bell sleeves that don't get in the way of doing work, or reaching for food! Works great in the winter time with leggings.

Fun and adventurous
Had fun wearing this around the keys. Super flirty -- but it drags a bit in the back if you're petite.

Great vacation dress!
Beautiful dress for vacation. Had to use a clip to tighten the straps which were way too long. If I owned this dress, that's the only adjustment I would have made.
Multi Floral Midi Dress

Great vacation dress!
Fits loosely, but there is a draw string so it doesn't end up looking like a potato sack. Love the colors. Heavier fabric than what I had expected.
Geo Print Arabella Dress
Tory Burch
Size Worn: MR
Usual Size: 6

Fun work dress I could wear to dance class afterward
Fits great except a little tight in the underarms making it difficult to lift arms above my head. Otherwise -- more beautiful in person and the picture on the model doesn't really do it justice. Comfortable and appropriate as the weather gets crisp.

Compliments all day!
Fabric was soft and super light. The fit was spot on. Felt more comfortable wearing this with leggings because the slit in the front is a bit risky especially on windy days.
Plaid Scarlet Print Dress
Marissa Webb
Size Worn: MR

Gorgeous green color
Wore this for the Halloween weekend since it has a gorgeous old world vibe to it. Careful, needed to use some fashion tape as the fabric gapes by the buttons. Otherwise would be appropriate for work
Teal Pleated Dress

Fits pretty loose but perfect for a relaxed weekend look!

Fits a little tight across the middle so size up if this is a problem for you! Otherwise, fun dress for work!
Cream Carolina Dress
Black Halo
Size Worn: 6
Usual Size: 6

Wonderful dress for work!
Fits a bit loose -- so works better belted as most reviewers had suggested. Long for shorter folks like me -- but I still loved it! Wonderful structural piece :)
Grey Suiting Dress

Fun and flirty
Got many compliments from wearing this dress. Ankle length for me, but that's what I had expected. A little tight in the mid-section but not terrible. Very cute and goes with just about anything.
Multi Polka Dot Maxi

Gorgeous with flair
For petite ladies -- beware, this dress is gorgeous but it will look like you have a train. It's ok if you're going for a little *extra.* Otherwise, surprisingly comfortable and flattering. Breezy and perfect for a tropical wedding destination

Just like the dancing lady in a red dress emoji
Had so much fun with this dress. Goes from day to night super easily. It is so comfortable and can be worn without the belt. (Which is good because my shipment did not come with it)

Unexpected details!
This dress looks so professional, but it's definitely not boring. The pleats reveal a pop of red and the bird print is so cute. I love this dress!

Twirly and fun
Fun dress for a night out -- a bit too low cut and loose up top for work.

Great color and pattern! Perfect for fancy tea!
I wore this on a date with my husband. It was a beautiful dress and it was so new, it came with the tags still on! Colors were gorgeous and the pattern was intricate. My only complaints are that the dress runs large -- I usually wear a size 6, and the size 4 was still too big. The fabric was also kind of itchy around the torso.

Great summertime dress!!
I wore this for a concert date night with my husband. Felt pretty without being too fussy. The fit was true to size. Great for twirling!

A great birthday outfit for a fancy dinner!
I loved this dress. Definitely different, very interesting silhouette. Wish it came in a petite size and the fit around the shoulders is a bit awkward. Overall, it is super fun and eye-catching.
Red Lace Midi
Slate & Willow
Size Worn: 4R
Usual Size: 6
Gorgeous color, feels amazing, sparkly neckline!
Had to size up for this one -- getting the zipper up is a two-person job! But once it was on, the dress was comfortable, easy to move in. Wore 2 inch heels as this does not come in a petite size, but it was worth it. I wore this for my rehearsal dinner, and the night was unforgettable. Loved the color, the silhouette and the neckline. Would definitely recommend for anyone who wants a gorgeous, memorable gown!

Red Precision Gown
Marchesa Notte

Worn for an anniversary dinner!
Received many compliments on this dress -- however it was not without issues. The lace is clearly very delicate and had snagged from previous wear. Also the waist line is at an awkward place making the top fit more snug than I would like. The sleeves are pretty but also itchy from the lace detail. Not an ideal dress even though it looked so beautiful online.

Wore this as a back up dress and still received tons of compliments!
Fits true to size! A fun shape, appropriate to wear for any formal occasion. Has a cute bow element on the bodice. I originally selected a different dress to wear for this event but due to a mishap from a previous renter -- the RTR stylists sent over this back-up option which ended up being better than my original choice!!

Very fun dress with pockets! Great material and just a hint of sparkle!
This dress runs a bit small, usually I wear a size 2 but had to size up and it was still on the tighter side. However, overall this was a fun dress to wear for a hot July garden wedding. It has pockets and a subtle high low hem. Loved the sparkle on the bodice!
