The red is a gorgeous true red. True to size but a little on the long side.

It looks like a work dress but with an open-ish back (I had to wear a sticky bra). Gorgeous, just be aware.

Loved the fit of this dress and the fun ruffle. True to size. I tucked the back straps and wore it as a halter.

Runs true to size. I sized up and wish I hadn't. To look like the pictures, it needs to be fitted. The fabric was a little lighter than I expected.

Gorgeous
Photos don't do this justice. The fabric is light but I felt secure in the dress. I did add a little double sided take to the deep v chest, although the back ties probably would have been sufficient. I'm 5'5 and it hit the floor for me, so for taller girls, plan on flats. Fit true to size.

Beautiful But Weird Texture
This beautiful color has a suede-like texture and just felt wet to me. It fit well but I couldn’t get over the way it felt.

Size Up but Stunning
This is maybe one of the best dresses I've ever worn from RTR. The fit and fabric were stunning. I sized up 1 and it fit like a glove (I'm usually a 4 and went up to a 6). Beware there is a hint of train, even with 4 inch heels. I wore this for an Enchanted Forest themed gala and it was perfect.

Great Fit
This dress looks more formal online- the fabric is actually more like a printed cotton. It fits well and it's pretty- it just wasn't right for a black tie event. More for a wedding or a party.

Size Up
I always size up in this brand and this dress was no exception. I did a M instead of my usual small and it was a great fit. The color is a little more bronze in person - it seems to pull silver online- but it was pretty and flattering.

Color is Awesome!
The color on this is darker than the website, but it is beautiful! It runs true to size, or a maybe a hair big. It's also very long- I was going to wear it to a gala but wouldn't have been able to be on the dance floor in this.

Classic dress with a fun twist
I loved the cut and the classic structure of this dress. I ordered it in a medium (one up from my normal size) and it was very fitted. If you want a little more of a body skimming look, I would size up two from normal.

This dress is really classic and has great lines, however, as is sometimes this case with European brands, it ran small. I would definitely size up at least one, if not two sizes. Great color and cut though!

Gorgeous Color and Material
I rented this as a potential dress for a gala. I ended up going with another option but this was beautiful and I would definitely consider it again in the future. I am usually a size 4, but I tend to size up in formal dresses, so I got the 6. It was a lot more roomy than I would prefer. If you're considering sizes, go with your usual size on this one! The material was a little on the heavier side, which is nice for coverage. Super pretty!

Runs small but pretty
I rented this for a work Valentine's Day event. The color is more of a coral than punchy pink, but still pretty. It runs smaller than I expected. I'm usually an XS or S and definitely would have wanted a M in this. The waist is really fitted but it falls over the lower stomach in a weird way- especially if you've had babies and your lower abs aren't concave anymore!

This was solid dress for the office. It ran a little bit big and maybe wasn't the best fit for my body shape, but overall, it was a good day-today work dress.

Worth the work!
This dress required a little bit of planning but I loved it. First of all, I found that it ran small, so I would size up. Plus it's pretty short and the bigger size gave a touch more length. The faux wrap does open pretty far and just to be safe, I added some tights. I ended up wearing stick on bra cups bc of the v-neck. It doesn't seem that deep but it definitely shows the center of a normal bra. The dress was comfortable and looked great- just be sure you have everything to wear under it!

Pretty Pants that feel like PJs
I loved these pant when they came out at JCrew and kicked myself for not buying them then. They have a looser fit and I sized down so they wouldn't be too baggy (I am usually a 4 but went with a 2). Super cute lace and easy to wear.

So so good
I loved this dress. It was true to size, no itchy sequins against my skin, a great color and I got tons of compliments on it. It photographs really well too. My only caution is that it's a little short, so be mindful of how much up and down sitting to standing you'll be doing.

Fun for Fall/Winter
I ordered this for an event with a couple other options and while I didn't wear it, I really did like it. The back gives it a little bit of visual interest while the front is clean and classic. The fit was true to size, the sequins weren't itchy and I liked the overall fit.

It's pretty but runs REALLY Small
I wanted to love this dress. I followed the recommendations and got one size up from my normal (I'm usually a size 4/Small and I got the medium). I fit into it but barely. A Large (two sizes up) probably would have been more comfortable. It is very body conscious and the cut of the sleeves across the shoulders is a little odd- not a deal breaker but worth noting if you are sensitive to have constriction across your upper arms or chest. It's pretty and I would consider it again the future- but size up!

Feminine and flattering
This fit true to size and was a great ladylike piece for summer in the office. It's a little lower cut, so I added a cami underneath, but without it, it'd be a great dress for a wedding or a party. So pretty and the ribbon at the waist was a perfect detail.

This might be my favorite LP dress ever! I sized up to a medium but would have been fine in my normal small size. The fabric has a slight stretch to it and it's a gorgeous color. I got so many compliments and felt great wearing it!

I took this on a recent cruise vacation for one of the formal nights. It was comfortable and fit nicely. It was also easy to sit in and move around in, which was important for a longer dinner. The high low hem was fun and the elastic waist cinched everything in nicely.
