Different take on business attire
Wore it with a collared cream colored blouse. Loved the details except the higher slit in the back which needs to be minded after sitting down and getting back up. Just make sure to readjust the dress back down into place to avoid unwittingly showing off more than you intend.

Very nice cardigan. Didn't wear it as it was a bit too warm for summer but would be fine for in the office.

Nice structured jacket
This jacket looked cute with a white patterned knee length skirt and was fitted without being tight. It flares a bit at the base, so hides any tummy pooch well.

Liked it more than I thought I would
I'm not a girl who wears a lot of pink, but this jacket fit well and I got a number of compliments on it.

3/4 length sleeve jacket
It was good for a conference. Nothing amazing, but looked good, fit well and was comfortable. Probably would be cute over jeans for a more casual event.

Cute over a long sleeve button down
I wore this over a burnt orange long sleeve button-down collared shirt and it was cute. Not too tight or too baggy

Wore it to the ballet
Fit well. More for a night out than my particular work. It was cuter on than I expected.

Fantastic blazer!
So many compliments from friends and strangers! Wore it with a white tank top and jeans to an ice hockey game. I worn it unbuttoned as it was a bit snug buttoned and I liked the look better. I don’t usually like pleather but the color was on point, and it was soft and very flexible material that felt close to real. Button threads getting a bit loose in how they were attached was the only small issue.

Most complemented dress I have rented yet
Men and women stopped me to tell me how much they loved this dress. It was a bit long, so I had to pick up the hem with any sort of stairs so I didn’t catch the hem with my heels. I waited for a long time to rent and wear this dress for an event that got postponed with the pandemic. It was worth the wait as I was on stage presenting quite a bit, and it was perfect. Classy and beautiful.

I liked it, mostly
The fabric is a bit heavier which makes to nice and not so revealing of every line. However the back of the dress kept getting in the way of my legs if I walked at any speed unless it held it up and away from my legs a bit. So stand there and look pretty or pick up skirt. The adjustable straps were a bit too long even at its shortest, so maybe it would have been better in the R length. I still got tons of compliments and liked the way it looked. It worked for a casino night where I was mostly standing at a table. I cannot imagine trying to dance in it.

Classy and sexy dress!
I'm usually either a 10 or 12, and wore the 12L because it gave me a bit more room. It looked fantastic on and was perfect for a back tie optional event with professional colleagues. People stopped to compliment my dress. I'm 5'8" and 2 1/2"-3" heels were needed. Can't wear a bra unless it is backless and shape wear would be difficult because of the mesh panels, but order a size up and it's not clingy but still looks shapely. I used a stick-on bra but probably could have gone without.

Stunning earrings!
Wore these to a black tie optional event with a nice black dress and these made the outfit. Not too heavy, no pain or discomfort at the end of the night. They are very long however, so watch out for them catching on your dress depending on the material. So many compliments!

Fun dress, hides imperfections, don't drink too much.
I'm currently between 10-12, and tried on both, the 12 had too much room, and the 10 sucked my belly in all by itself, so easy choice. Due to the mesh paneling I couldn't wear even a strapless bra, by didn't need to because of the thicker fabric and the close fit. I was not worried about falling out of it and did not need fashion tape (C cup). The mermaid skirt made it a bit hard to walk, but there was enough stretch. It was difficult going to the bathroom trying to get the fitted skirt over my hips (42) and then trying not to roll down my underwear pulling the skirt back down. I had to unzip it to adjust it, and it was fine but I could zip the back myself. (TMI - but hopefully helpful for those going alone who can't zip yourself in/out.) Long was perfect for me in 3 inch heels. Overall it was a bit sexier than I would normally go for in a black tie setting with coworkers (form fitting and low cut) but it managed to not be too revealing and I felt comfortable. Got lots of compliments and felt beautiful!

Happy gold color, but didn't use as it doesn't fit the smallest of the newer iPhones even without a case.

Fantastic dress for a tropical themed evening!
This dress was loads of fun, colorful and comfortable to wear. My only minor complaint is that the waist ribbon was super curly on the ends. I just ignored it, but others might want to straighten them. I had tons of compliments and would wear it again.

Beautiful dress with just the right amount of drama
This was the first time I received a brand new dress from RTR, which was nice. The 10R fit perfectly. Beautifully detailed fabric and design for a anniversary celebration in Hawaii. My husband even commented how much he liked it (and not in an obligated sort of way). Flowy at the waist and hips, so if you aren't perfectly in shape, no worries. I'm 5'8" and wore it with a short heeled sandal (2.5") which was about right. Strapless bra for this one, but it has enough pattern and thick enough fabric in the top you may be able get away without one. Take note that when you sit, the front slit ends up being mini-skirt high, so careful how you sit down. Overall a beautiful dress, sexy and fun, for a beach anniversary dinner!

Beautiful but had trouble with the top
I loved this dress and wanted to wear it so badly, but didn't end up wearing it. Too much cleavage for a work event, and the top gaps depending on how you move. Tape and a safety pin likely a must. I tried messing with it for about 30 min, and gave up because I had to get to the event. Only type of bra I think would do are the sticker ones, I tried a Nubra, but even that showed at the bottom and then made my chest too big (C) for it to be able to be safety pinned and made it gap worse. Wish I could have worn it. Probably would have chanced it with a different bra and a non-work event.

Great dress for a work gala
Beautiful color, flowy, easy to wear. Regular length was plenty long with my 2.5" heels, would have been fine with even a bit taller. Strapless bra went well with the dress. This was my extra dress, and I'm glad I ordered it , as the other showed too much cleavage for a work formal event. It's a bit bridesmaid-y, but not in a bad way (like actually would be nice if someone chose it). I wore the red version to a different event and that thought didn't cross my mind. Got lots of compliments on both colors of this dress.

Fun summer gala gown!
This fit well, allowed for a non-flat belly and worked with a demi-bra. It's low cut, but not so much so that I didn't feel ok to wear around work colleagues. Very pretty, flowing fabric. I got lots of compliments, and it fit the semioutdoor setting well. Very comfortable. I wore a long half slip underneath, but probably didn't have to. Would recommend skin-tone panties/bra. I wore the long with 2 1/2 inch heels and it worked well (5'8"), and could have worn higher which would have looked nice as well.

Easy, beautiful dress
I wore the 8R, should have probably picked the 8L for the height of my heels. Beautiful dress, comfortable with the exception of some rubbing at the neckline in the front. Got tons of compliments!

Beauty, strength, and grace.
Structured with wonderful fluidity. Perfect for showcasing jewelry. Snug in the bodice, but good. Minimal hitching up necessary. I wore a size smaller than normal and it fit well. Getting the zipper over the seam was a challenge. If you are very long in the torso, it may be too short. It fit me, but was close. At my height any platform was too tall with the R length. I wore it with 2.5-3 inch heels and it worked well. Loved this jumpsuit, and would wear again.
