Great Movement & Color
This dress was good but not as amazing as most RTR dresses IMO. The wrap had the flutter ends on all sides so you could see them under the fabric. It showed off more cleavage than I normally do but overall great dress.

Not for me
This dress looks great in the pictures and even in the reviews, but it didn't work for me. The fitted potion of the dress rolled up under the top which would have worked but just was not flattering. If I did pull it to my hips it looked awful on me and after walking up stairs would ride back up to my natural waist. Beautiful color but not for me.

Too large/long
I'm not a small/skinny person. Often a large is way too tight but this large could have fit me, my husband and any unborn children we may have, it was huge! Even if the arms/shoulders fit, I would have needed 10 inch heels. It could be super cute if sized right.

I wanted to love it but couldn't
I did not wear this dress. The cut of the top made it impossible to wear any bra. A strapless bra showed under the arms and at the back, it also made that lovely fat packet between my boobs and underarms look like a body builder. A razor back bra showed in the front (the dress cuts far in on the chest). Going braless isn't an option for me so this dress didn't get worn. This pic is actually with a sports bra.

Too small at waist
I didn't wear this dress. It was too tight across my high waist/ribs. I felt like I couldn't breathe. A size up could have worked but this size was already very revealing around the chest. It was thin material but not see thru.

Touch short but otherwise amazing
I paired with tights and loved this dress! The sleeves make coats not an option so don't pick for dead of winter.

Dreamy Spanx worth it dress
This dress showed any bugle or roll, but what are Spanx for?! It was so worth it. I felt like a million bucks.

LOVED this dress!!!
This dress fit me like a glove. It had shape for curves but wasn't too tight. I rented for a bridal shower and it was perfect.

Beautifully made & very flattering
The color of this dress was perfect, enough "pop" without being over the top. It fit great and allowed for dancing without being worried what might shift.

Very low cut, but overall great
Great quality fabric and great dress -- it was shorter and more low cut than I was comfortable with.

Nice, comfortable, but missing the WOW factor
This dress was a great fit and fabric, but it was just kinda blah. I was looking for something to WOW the crowds and this dress was not it. I wore something else.

Super Cute and Comfy
Super cute and comfortable -- I didn't read enough and thought it was true denim, which it is not, but still a great skirt.

Comically Small
I typically wear an 8, but often wear a size 6. This dress was very small -- I could barely get it to where my butt started, but there was no way it would have gone over my booty. It's super thick fabric so that may have been part of it. It's beautiful, but get a size larger for sure.

Beautiful fabric, lightweight
This dress was beautiful -- the fabric was thin and definitely needed spanks or something similar. I debated wearing it to my rehearsal dinner, but sent it back for another dress instead.

Cute Top
I liked this top a lot, but felt it didn't have the wow factor it had the potential to have. The ruffles are cute and girly, but kinda fall flat. It was a great material and fit well!

Great Color!
This wrap dress was perfect for any occasion. I loved the color and the movement the dress had. It was very low cut so I had to wear something under it, but overall, great dress.

Arm Holes & Color Oh My!
The arm holes for this top were way too large - any way I turned you could see something you shouldn't have. The stiff material was anything but comfy, but I could have dealt with it. The color was blah and seemed to wash me out completely.

Comfy and flattering
I really liked this dress but didn't love it. It's super comfortable, but the medium was slightly larger than expected. I wore a razorback bra with it, but you could see it below the arms. The fabric was very thick which I liked, but if you're looking for a dress that's great for hot weather, this may not be the one for you.
