Stunning color
Loved this dress! One tiny nitpick kept it from being a 5 star dress: the seams around the neck and arm kept flipping so that the seam side was out, and because it's an eyelash hem, it looked messy. I ended up wearing a blazer over the dress. Fit: TTS, good flare over the hips for the pear-shaped among us. Below the knee (I'm 5'7").

Sharp take on a suit dress
I wore this to work and enjoyed the feminine take on a suit crossed with a vest crossed with a dress. Fit: The dress is a true wrap style, but it buttons closed at the hips so you don't have to worry about sudden gusts of wind. Has pleats and an attached belt to accommodate varying waist/hip/thigh sizes. The length is quite long and hit me at mid-calf. Quality: Really well made, wool with lining. There was a slight snag at the front of my dress but the pinstripe pattern hid it well.

Too low-cut for work
Gorgeous dress made of medium-weight silk in a beautiful floral pattern. Well made. The fit was tricky; it's a true wrap dress with a flare, so plenty accommodating in the hips and thighs, but any movement made the chest area gape open more. I didn't feel comfortable wearing it for work so wore it with a camisole for a casual family gathering.

Flowy maxidress
Wore this for a regular day to run errands. Fit: very triangle shaped (fitted at the top and very flowy on the bottom), excellent for a pear shape. Wore a belt to achieve an hourglass silhouette. Quality: heavy fabric, top half is lined, the smocking and pleats are well constructed but I struggled to get the zipper and hook-and-eye closure up in the back (the zipper wasn't sewn all the way up at the bottom). Overall, would rent again, but for spring/fall instead of summer.

Super comfy, flattering, and forgiving!
This dress was really flattering on my pear shape, although I think it might run a bit big in the bust if you're small-busted. It's also a bit big overall, but I opted not to size down so I could eat more at the engagement party I went to. It's made of a heavy fabric that travels well and doesn't wrinkle easily, and it came to mid-thigh on me (I'm 5' 7"). One of my favorite rentals so far!

Gorgeous dress, runs a bit small
I'm a 4 most of the time, but would have worn a 6 had it been available -- the 4 was really tight and made me look like I have a flabby back. I ended up wearing another dress. Size up for your backup!

LOVE this dress
This dress is really amazing! The fabric is heavy enough to offset the figure-conscious cut (making Spanx optional), and the cutout is intriguing without being too revealing. AND the dress is comfortable. I got tons of compliments all night.

Sparkly and comfortable
This dress was perhaps a little more yellow in person than it is in the photo, but it's still definitely an orange dress. The photo doesn't show how sparkly the dress is -- much more appropriate for the holidays than for a spring wedding. Also, my dress came without a slip, which made it completely unwearable. (Thanks to RTR for the refund!) On the plus side, the dress is very flattering and comfortable, and the cut makes it sexy despite its modest neckline and length. (It was tea-length on me.)

Comfortable and cute
This dress is very comfortable and super cute -- the sleeves make it an ideal dress for transitional weather. It's a very short dress, though, so tall women with curvier bottoms will want to wear tights underneath. (I wore tights under this dress and still had to be very careful about not accidentally showing the tops of my tights!) Roomy fit and pockets are a plus.
