An incredibly cold weekend in Minneapolis was the perfect opportunity to wear this lovely warm and flattering knot dress. Simple, elegant, but with the added cachet of the beaded glittering trim on sleeves and neckline, it felt comfortable and was appropriate for a formal wedding with black tights and dressy small boots. The dress is short but not dangerously so, and was a dream to wear. Some reviewers described it as 'heavy' due to the beading but it was not annoying in any way, and the beading arrived in pristine condition. No full length photo available unfortunately but it was a perfect body-skimming fit for me. Yet another RTR hit!

This knit dress was extremely comfortable and did not wrinkle during the drive to the wedding. The fit was just about perfect for me, usually a size 4. I am 5'5" tall and 118; the dress hit just above the knee. The sequinned sleeves were a beautiful touch to keep the dress eye-catching while still retaining understated elegance. Another RTR hit!

This is a lovely dress provided it fits! There is very little 'give' to the fabric so if it hangs nicely, you will be all set. The top has a few extra gathers of puckered fabric which add nice detail if they fall properly, so it is not a dress for the generously-endowed! For a hot late afternoon outdoor wedding, it was perfect. I can understand why others indicated that the sleeves can be tight; there is a narrow band of fabric edging that is slightly smaller than the sleeve itself. This is a beautifully-made dress; the underslip slides on easily and the over-layer of cotton crochet lace is substantial without looking heavy. I was totally delighted (yet again) with RTR!

This dress was a delight to wear to a formal evening wedding in Alabama. The material is heavy and stretches to accommodate many body sizes. I received a small and a medium; the small was impossibly tiny but the medium was form-fitting and comfortable. The cap sleeves have an edging of invisible sticky material so they stay nicely in place. The cut of the dress is based on a series of strips (hence the bandage motif) which offer detail that is not clear in the photo; one of the edging strips goes vertically down the back around the zipper, a nice touch. The back of the dress is square and somewhat low as is the front. A strapless bra might be nice but I found one was not needed. The dress was truly a find and suited my low maintenance and travel requirements perfectly!

A delight to wear and suitable for a variety of events.

The cuff was tiny, even on my very small wrist. Difficult to put on although very eye catching. Not worn.

After a four hour drive to a wedding in NY, I took this dress out of the bag, put it on, quick makeup and was out the door within 10 minutes since we were running late. The dress had no wrinkles, fit perfectly, and required no special undergarments. What more could one ask? The fabric is not stretchy at all however, so be very careful about size. It is not forgiving. To offset that, it hangs beautifully and looked fresh and crisp at the end of the evening. I ordered a 4 and 6 and wore the 6. The broad shoulders combined with waist detail are very flattering. High praise!
