Effortless and chic maxi dress
This maxi dress is effortlessly chic and flows beautifully with every step. The lightweight fabric makes it perfect for those crisp, fall-like days in a warmer climate. I wore this in Galveston Texas to a holiday party and it was perfect for 70 degree weather. It does run a bit roomy, but nothing a stylish belt can’t fix. Comfortable, flattering, and easy to dress up or down—definitely a go-to piece. You could pair it with boots or a heel like I did.

Amazing shape
Love the cinching on the sides, great for the figure. Extremely comfy. Ttl. I will likely buy for my permanent collection once Madewell has a sale.

Comfortable and put together
This dress has a deep red and navy pattern that feels elegant and seasonally perfect. The sheer sleeves add a nice touch of softness, and the length gives it a polished look. The fit is comfortable, but the fabric does cling a bit around the midsection, so it works best with shapewear or in a size that allows a little extra room. Overall, it’s a lovely dress that can be dressed up or down.

Easy workday dress but not a standout
Wore this to work — super comfortable and easy to move in. I got a few compliments, but overall thought it was just okay. Nice for a polished office look but not a standout piece.

Nice dress
Rented this as a back up for a cocktail party. It’s nice, but not amazing. Good for thin ladies- not particularly forgiving if you have a little extra around the middle!

Very cute!
It's hard to tell from the photo but it's just a little big. So I am going to order it in a medium which is what was recommended for me but I was nervous the chest would be tight. So good job RTR on the rec! I'm excited to try this in the medium!

Most-worn item of 2025
I think this dress was my most-worn item of 2025. I wore it to lunch, out to dinner, to a friend's gathering, to a memorial service, to church, to a meeting, to a happy hour, and more. I reached for it almost every time I needed something to wear. Loved it and the fit was great with some ruching that was flattering. Also, it doesn't wrinkle, so I could put it in a bag and take it with me to change elsewhere when needed. Somehow, I only have partial or group photos in the dress, though!

I wore this to a wedding and it was perfect. The color and sleeves say "autumn" but it is so light and breezy that I stayed cool on the dance floor.

Slit
It's fine but the back slit is a bit long. This means that it goes up rather high. Office in the front. Party in the back.

Easy to pull on, don’t need shareware or anything underneath. Hit at ankle for me so I could wear with flat sandals . I liked the fit better than the color.

I ordered a size down and it was too small in the top so changing for a size small. The body of the dress is forgiving.

This dress is very slimming and very light-weight fabric. I think it's a bit long for a person of my height but I am going to try to make it work with a belt.

I wore it once. It was comfortable but not all that flattering. It would have looked better with shapewear under it to keep from looking like a busted can of biscuits But I don't do that on weekdays.

Not made well
Mesh looks white in some places, for example on the placard. It’s weird, like the dye wasn’t deep enough. Also, you can see the glue or whatever under the seams of the shoulders; could not get seams to stay down.
