Pretty and feminine
Rented this for a date night. The v neck was flattering and the asymmetry of the skirt was unique. The fabric was flowy but not too thin. I really enjoyed this dress. It's very versatile. I dressed it up for date night with heels and jewelry, then wore it with a jean jacket and sandals to dress it down for weekend brunch. Loved this dress

Flattering and flowy
This was a very flattering fit. It does run large. They didn't have the 6 available so I rented an 8, but it was quite roomy. I wore a bralette since the front kept falling open. The 6 or even 4 would have fit better and probably wouldn't have required wearing the bralette. The dress was comfy and flowy, and cute with nude heals and dangly earrings. Material was nice quality and had a silky second layer so felt nice, thick and high quality. On con was that I am tall and the sleeves were very short. If you have long arms, you will run into this issue. The dress was comfy and cute enough that I didn't mind the short sleeves though. I felt pretty overall in this dress.

Cute, but young.
I rented this for a post-bachelorette party brunch. The fit was true to size. The waist has little give so if you are between sizes, size up or if you want a little extra room in the waist, size up. The concept was cute with the capelet; however, the dress ultimately looked very childish with the shape and tiers of the skirt. The pattern also made it look young. The top was flattering though. Wish it had a pencils skirt and slightly more modern pattern and it would have been more age appropriate and flattering. Nice fabric thickness and quality was was good.

Not the most flattering.
Nice heavy fabric and pretty pattern. I didn't end up wearing it since it wasn't very flattering on me. This dress shortens your torso and makes your hips look very wide as a result. I'm taller and the waist on this dress hit well above my natural waist and looked odd. Shorter torsos and statutes would probably fit in this dress better.

Great for a fancy dinner
Flattering fit. A little tight in the hips. If you are curvy, size up. Nice heavy fabric which prevented normal undergarment lines from showing even without shapewear. Smoothing and sliming. Great dress and lovely color.

Incredibly flattering and unique!
My original New Year's Eve dress got held up in delivery and this dress totally made up for it! RTR refunded my order and told me to go to the store and pick out any dress free of charge for the inconvenience. Found this one, it was too big but made with stretchy material so you never would have known. It had heavy material and great structure. Made me look amazing and I got so many compliments! I wouldn't recommend this gown for an event that you sit for since the skirt has seams that do rub harshly on your legs. Tights would also get caught on the seam and run. But if you are up and about, then this dress is great! I stood mostly at my event and I loved this dress! Would get it again for sure!

Items arrived on time and well packaged. Easy ordering
I'm 5'8" 150, the M fit best (although was quite short but not inappropriately so when worn with tights) but the M I received had a stain smack dab in the middle of the front of the dress and the hem line was completely torn and unraveling. So I ended up wearing the L. The back of the dress was very nice and the V was just high enough to be able to wear a normal bra. I'm busty (34D) and the top of the dress fit great. If you're hippy, this dress will show everything. Proper shapewear is a must! But remember that the dress is very short so standard shapewear won't work. I had to roll mine on the thighs in order for it to not show which was a pain. Overall, I looked nice in the dress, but wouldn't recommend it unless your body type is very narrow or you have a plethora of special shapewear at your disposal to test with the dress.
