A smidge tight in the breasts for me so the buttons had some undoing at times but otherwise an all in one package

Absolutely loved & would rent again!

Absolutely loved this dress! I did size up after reading the reviews and I’m glad I did, as it isn’t a stretchy material. I wore it for a work event in which I presented at and received so many compliments. I was grateful that the sleeve area had more space and it hides any sweat stains (what a win!). I would say if you have a larger chest, it may not fit as well as it felt more snug in that area.

Perfect RTR spring dress

Perfect for first spring day and just different enough that probably wouldn’t want to own, but got several compliments. As others have said, no room to spare in waist (also slightly hit the bottom of my ribs) or the bust. But it was comfortable and airy. Will definitely rent again

LOVED this

A gorgeous dress. Fabric is a little stiff and the color is perhaps not the most broadly flattering but to me this is the perfect work dress.

Fun Work Outfit

Go up a size and you are golden! I wore a nude colored slip because it is a bit sheer. The dress is fabulous though. I’d buy it if it wasn’t so expensive. I got so many compliments and felt great all day!

A little tight if you have a larger chest and long if you are short. I loved the color and details though.

Honey Bee Pretty Lady Dress

This classy and unique dress is a compliment magnet — comfortable and close-fitting, a 4 was snug, so if you’re in between sizes I would size up. Sizing was normal for ALC, if you’re familiar with their fit. Good for spring, but might be too hot come summer. Also would be great with boots for the fall!

Fun fall pick

This was a nice look for fall - on trend and unique but still elegant/classic. If I had a larger bust or waist I would need to size up.

Didn’t wear… not good on my body in this size 4?

I have a small waist and am curvy, and this didn’t fit right. I very seldom wear a 6 but would try one if I decide to rent this dress again. In any case it was a bit warm for the summer weather.

Chic dress for work and beyond

This dress is beautiful. The front pleating make it very elegant and from the front it looks like two pieces. It does somewhat emphasize your mid section, so if you’re trying to hide that I would skip. Also requires nude underwear as the back is a bit sheer

A bit sheer, a bit small -

BUT SO CUTE! So many total strangers stopped me on the street to tell me how beautiful this dress was. And it is a stunner. Pros: 1) doesn’t wrinkle easily!!!! this is huge 2) a great length, plenty long - almost a maxi - I’m 5’8 (shorter folks might find it too long) 3) zipper-free! 4) cute chest pockets (which also act as nipple covers - see cons) Cons: 1) fabric is only one layer for the whole back of the dress, and it’s quite sheer. the fabric - a crosshatch-textured thick polyester - clings to your body in an odd way so even a “no show” flesh-colored thong was super obvious. I wore nude shapewear shorts to feel more covered. I don’t wear bras, but if you do that will also be very obvious. There’s also an RTR tag sewn into the back of the top, which because it’s sheer, is visible! I attached a pic. The front has multiple layers of fabric and chest pockets which cover the nipples if you’re braless. 2) no side pockets! 3) a touch small on the waist - I’m a pretty consistent 2, and if I was even just a little bloated I could button the waist but it pulled and didn’t look nice. Fit fine everywhere else though. If I was to purchase or rent again, I’d get a 4.

Something out of Ordinary

I found this slightly form fitting for the size, and there's no stretch in the fabric. I did wear a belt to adjust the waist to my natural waist line since it did not land where it should on my torso. This might translate better for a taller person. I chose this for the plea details and the full skirt, which did not disappoint.

Perfect everywhere but the bust

The color, structure and style of the dress is so beautiful! But I cannot understand why it is so tight in the bust!! I am a true 8, especially in dresses, and I’m a 32B the buttons around my bra (which I wore an I padded bra!) was gapped all day It was infuriatinggggg I did receive multiple compliments on the dress, but was so insecure about the bust, I couldn’t imagine having bigger boobs. It fit perfect everywhere else so I don’t know if sizing up would be best or if it would lose, It’s structure

Very cute!

Order for your bust and add a belt. I tried on every bra I own trying to get the buttons to close. It’s a darling piece and looks great styled with a belt.

Felt more like a costume

It was ok. The color in. person is more of a mustard yellow. It is a unique dress. It is almost like a cross between a victorian esqe style dress and a WWII dress feminine military style outfit. I had high hopes, but when I actually put it on, I couldn't see actually wearing it out. It was also a very heavy dress with a lot of material. There is one button where it cinches at the waist which buttoned jussst right.

Would maybe size up if your between sizes

Loved this dress for a more modest, walking filled travel day! It was super comfy and had no issues even when walking all day! Warning: it is thicker than it seems and with having a collar I would definitely warn if you’re going to be walking around in the sun you might get a little toasty but this dress was beautiful.

So comfortable (I ordered one size up from my normal size and it fit beautifully). This is one of those outfits where you walk with your chin a bit higher because you feel so beautiful and elegant (not to mention the constant compliments).
