Classic
A classic staple - I did stumble upon it at NordRack though for half the purchase price, so not sure if this is worth it.

Not flattering
Waaaaay oversized. Got my usual size S and the arms are short but the openings are very wide - can't scrunch or fold up to make the oversized fit cute. Also the collar reads as pajamas. Couldn't wear

Interesting fit (in a good way!) I like the almost drip waist look, got tons of complements. Didn't realize it was sparkle thread in it so limits the wearability

Pockets too big
Outline of pockets was super prominent, distracts from the look and interrupts the line. Love the color though

Beautiful colors, not super flattering
Sleeves were a little obnoxious and I felt like the ruching in the stomach combined with the cropped style made my torso look shorter and wider than I am. Also didn’t realize the back is slit open but it was still okay with normal bra. Beautiful colors though.

Size up for comfort
It was cute but definitely fit a little small throughout. I’m between 4 and 6 and got the 6. It looked good but probably would have been more comfortable in an 8, it just felt fiddly and pulled slightly over time due to the ruching

Fine until you try and sit
Yikes, good into my car and immediately regretted my choice to wear this without a top underneath. The stiff fabric gaped totally open but it fit a little larger overall on me.

Weird arms and ridiculous collar
The arms are at once short AND wide, they fit terribly on me, like a 3/4 length sleeve. The material is rough and uncomfortable, and I’m not usually bothered by fabric texture. The collar, I just burst out laughing once I saw it on… so oversized and goofy looking! Instantly chucked it back in the bag

Open in bust
The bust needs to be secured in order to avoid a wardrobe malfunction, otherwise it's great. Like the colors and the gold thread in it is subtle. MISA fits a bit big on me so though I'm usually 10-12, the medium fits perfect. Only other thing I would have preferred is more room in the cuffs

Low cut neckline
I like to have my button ups pretty open but the v on this neck is way low, you could see the bra and I had to stay conscious of it. There's no button or anything to give you coverage. Otherwise cute

Silly buttons
The fit was so good, I loved it! The smocking is VERY flattering in the waist and the arms are perfectly comfortable. I would have bought it if it weren't for the buttons! The top only unbutton above the smocking and then are sewn closed. I like to wear mine unbuttoned a bit lower so this broke my brain when I couldn't do it. Then it is not sewn together at the bottom so you can get some accidental skin showing on your upper thighs. But it's so nice to wear - I'll definitely rent again

Necktie is super long
Instead of tying the tie in a bow at the neck, I crossed the tie behind my neck then wrapped it around my waist. It opened up the front in an almost sweetheart neckline and nipped in the waist. Received a lot of compliments with it that way!

Too large to be oversize
I usually wear a size 4 but based on the reviews I sized down to the XS. It really is comically oversized. Try as I might I couldn't make it fashion, there was just way too much material. The sleeves were a little short as you might expect when sizing down, I found if I cuffed it it made it look a little better. I was expecting to go for the oversize look, but in the end it was just too overwhelming. It is such a cute color and print though!

Understated elegance
It was nice but I didn't love it as much as I'd hoped. It is fairly itchy and a touch tight (I usually wear 4 and ordered a 40). Material is on the thinner side and probably requires shapewear because I was looking poochy in the stomach but I don't have any that I feel good in so that was a bit of a deal breaker for me. The underlayer peeks out at the bottom (the top layer tends to ride up) but it wasn't terrible. It was fine, but I didn't choose to wear it for my event.

TTS, flattering, and warm
I had a partially-outdoor conference to attend on a cold day so I paired this with some opaque tights and booties and a camel-coloured suede moto jacket. I'm usually a 4 and sized up to the 42 (6). I didn't have any pooch or anything which was nice, but I do feel it was a little big. I definitely had some room—the arms are spacious and the skirt has a lot of material that can bunch up. If I ordered it again, I would keep to my normal size. It is long, mid-calf midi length and tight all the way down, so you won't be able to walk super fast or anything. It was comfy and warm and the details make it interesting along with the cool-toned olive colour.

Crazy small but awesome
I'm usually a 4 so taking the advice from the other reviewers I rented size 3 (8/10). It fit and was actually maybe a touch small even then. The waist nipped in a bit too much so I had scrunched maybe an inch higher which made it balloon in the back. But it is still so cute! I wore it to work with tights and booties one day and then wore it to brunch and shopping with some white low tennies another day and got compliments both times. love the print and the buttons. It is very lightweight though and I had a few windy days that gave me Marilyn moments, but the skirt is longer than pictured and hit at the tops of my knees so that helped. Fabric does not have any stretch, so don't count on that helping!

Weirdest shoulder straps
I'm so perplexed by all the good reviews! Everyone seems to have different experiences with the black straps, for me they were much too widely spaced apart. If I got one to sit on my shoulder correctly, the other was flopping off and seemed to be coming from my armpit/arm, not from the chest. This was impossible to wear. It was otherwise very pretty and fit TTS everywhere except those weird straps.

Gorgeous and fun
I wore this to go to a comedy show (Rachel Bloom!) and loved it. I'm normally a 4/6 and rented a medium which fit me slightly large, more like a 6/8. It still looked very nice and I didn't want to be squeezed so stuck with the size and was comfortable all night. Because it was a little big, the back did gape a bit, but it wasn't an issue. It's definitely short, especially if you're doing a lot of sitting, but the sleeves made it almost cozy. I had planned to wear with tights thinking it would be cold out but ended up just wearing with some booties. The plunge in the front isn't really that extreme but the back and the sides made it impossible for me to wear my super-low backed bra so I went without for the evening. Plenty of cover in the front so you aren't poking through!

Not for me
I love peter pan collars and bows and pink so I thought this was going to be a major win. Unfortunately, it did not work on my body. I'm not sure how to explain it, it just ended up looking sloppy and sad instead of cute. Strong rose colour that would work in multiple seasons on the right body. Needs to be steamed upon arrival as it wrinkles easily and is a bit tight in the shoulders, otherwise TTS.

Nice length
I'm usually a 4/6 and rented the 6. It fit nicely everywhere except the bust, where I found it was too large for my 30DDD chest. The jumpsuit I got was very worn and drooped in the front of the bust so that the grippy part was exposed and had a rippled front cross-hem so I did not wear it but if it had been in better condition I probably would have. Loved the length and it was forgiving in the tummy area, disappointed I couldn't wear it.

THIS. BAG.
Lovelovelovelovelove! I used it every day I had it! The colour is very nice for spring and summer, a sweet rosy smooth nude dotted with tiny round silver studs that elevate it along with the awesome braided strap. I know some others said they thought it was small, but I thought the size was absolutely perfect. The interior pocket is perfect for phone and keys while the middle pocket holds my kindle, wallet, and assorted useless crap nicely. I didn't feel as lost as I get in other (smaller and larger) purses... not sure why. It really just hit that storage sweet spot for me! I probably would have kept it except now that it's fall I'm wanting something darker and the purchase deal on this wasn't enough of a discount to convince me. Instead, I actually went and bought the Allsaints Shirley small which is the same dimensions but in a more fall-appropriate colour and a few other differences (braided hand strap, giant leather tassel, textured leather with no studs) which you can see in a side-by-side. Totally loved this one though and got a lot of daily use out of it.

Cute for work
This was nice, I got a lot of compliments on the dress. I didn't think it was the most forgiving in the waist and almost sent it back but the response from others was better than I had hoped so I'm glad I wore it but it probably wouldn't be a repeat for me. The length is longer than in the RTR photo. I have long legs and this hit me right above the knee, it wasn't a mini like I feared so that was a bonus and made it work appropriate. The knit material isn't the thickest, but it was decent and didn't require any steaming or anything before wearing. Loved the colour combo, true to the picture.

Compliments galore!
My boss told me I looked like a movie star! It's a gorgeous dress, the colours are bright and beautiful and the length is perfect! I usually have trouble with wrap dresses gaping but this one gave me fewer issues than most. It nips in the waist like a dream and I felt confident every time I wore it (which was 3 times!). The wrap also can create a very high slit at times, but I didn't feel in danger of flashing anyone unless it was very windy! Such an easy dress to wear for instant daytime glamour—no steaming needed!
