Beautiful dress but not for apple shape
Gorgeous dress but didn’t wear because too tight in the tummy.

Brings the Bling
Great top. Brings a subtle shimmer that can dress up jeans or paired with black dress pants or pencil skirt for a formal affair. High quality thick fabric is great for Fall/Winter. Would probably be too hot for outside in summer.

Classic elegance
I wore this jumpsuit for a party. I'm 5'4 and was surprised that the pants length was perfect, not too long. The shoulders did tend to ride up so I would recommend pinning to bra or fashion tape. I felt very comfortable in this outfit and got compliments but I did feel a bit matronly. I usually prefer a v neck. I would definitely choose again to look modestly elegant.

Gorgeous hue!
This is a great blouse that can be dressed up or down. I wore for a date with jeans. It was a bit more off the shoulder than expected but that gave a sexy touch. It has a blouson top which is great for hiding the tummy and an elastic band at hip to show the curves. Sleeves are long so don't plan to eat spaghetti!

Forgiving fit
Really liked this dress but didn't wear to my event. It is very forgiving and hides the extra COVID fluff but a bit too summery for my January bday in San Antonio. Would be perfect for a spring/summer wedding or special event.

Cute but didn't wear. Not the best for my Apple shape and too casual for my event but very nice quality and style.

Pretty in pink
Ordered a 14 & 16 and wore the 16 thanks to extra COVID lbs. This dress is cute and sexy while providing great coverage. Wore shape wear underneath to help define the shape. Very comfortable and slimming. I'm 5'4" 180 lbs.

Holiday glamour
This was a backup dress for me. I normally wear a 12 so the 14W was a bit large. I paired it with a belt and jacket to make it work. I felt it was a bit matronly because of the size. But I received a lot of compliments on the look. I t definitely gave the holiday sparkle I needed. would rent again if avail in a 14 regular.

Unique look
Loved this dress because it has unique flair. Also sort of vintage charm. I didn't end up wearing because it was a bit tight. Afraid I'd break the zipper. Normally I wear a 12. This was a 14 and I really had to suck it in. I'll go away...lose weight...rent again. LOL.

Tight waist
I love the look of this dress and it offers a lot of value for the price. However I was unable to wear it because too tight in the waist. Apple shapes should probably avoid because it just emphasizes the tummy. This was my first rental so I was disappointed but RTR sent a replacement that arrived on time and looked great. 4 stars for the look although I couldn't wear.
