Gorgeous fabric, gorgeous unique dress

This dress is the perfect example of why I started RTR. Not my usual style but super fun to try something new. The sleeves are truly puffed so do not think you'll smooth them down. Which means harder to wear any kind of sweater or jacket over it. I don't know if it runs big or I just picked the wrong size but I would have preferred one size down especially with the puffed sleeve look.

Pretty & Has Buttons

You can button it up or down on top. TTS - and a very classy pattern and flattering fit. This is truly something you can wear anywhere and dress up or down.

Perfectly fine work dress

The print on this is adorable, but I’m scratching my head at the price point on this one. It was perfectly fine, flattering, but nothing special. I’d order it again next spring and summer, but it isn’t my favorite.

Fine

Likes: print; length Dislikes; elastic is TIGHT around the arms; not a high end fabric (wrinkly cotton); a little boring on the top Surprised this is a $1400 dress

Elegant Ease

Flattering and perfect fit. I wore it to picnics, dinner, and work on multiple occasions. I didn't want to take it off. People were giving me compliments left and right. Someone stopped me at the farmer's market and asked to take a picture.

Nice dress, needs ironing

I wore this dress several times to parties and events. One time it was cold and I wore a jean jacket over it and that worked well. It is high-quality and comfortable and a fun pattern, but it does need a little bit of ironing, not too much. I am tall, so the puffy sleeves looked fine.

Unique day dress

Love dresses from this designer and this one didn't disappoint. TTS though it's on the longer side for a midi. It's the rich mom vibe and looked elegant with cream shoes and purse.

Lovely dress with a beautiful print. The necklace, despite having buttons, is a little high and the dress is maxi length. But it was so soft and fun to wear and I got lots of compliments.

Pretty, fit well

I liked this and thought the quality was excellent and fabric was lovely, crisp. Only wore once to church though because it felt very conservative and a little bland. Would be a great dress for the office.

Good work dress, needs a statement necklace

Great dress but add a statement necklace to avoid a matronly look (neckline is very high and flat and looks strange with buttons undone). The elasticated arm holes are also quite tight (left marks and my arms are not big) though may loosen with time.
