Chill yet refined dress

This dress is super versatile, I wore it to work and happy hour and a night out depending on accessories! The arm holes are a bit low cut for work but fine with a blazer. I'm very tall and the side slits did not feel too revealing. Overall it runs slightly large (I'm a 6/8 and the small was fine!)

Great work to night dress

Very flattering, got compliments from strangers on the street when I wore this. I needed to wear a black bandeau to cover some side bra showing but it wasn’t a big deal.

Chic + petite friendly

I wore this for my ✨golden birthday✨ and just added golden accessories. Being 5 foot I was worried this would be too long or shapeless like a lot of the reviews said but it was great! I only added the chain from my purse as a belt to add more more gold to the look since I didn’t have a necklace. I could’ve gone without the “belt” and it would’ve been just fine. Highly recommend and 10/10 would rent again!

Shapeless chic

I plan to wear this multiple times. It can be dressed up or down, and the shape is versatile enough to wear it as is, or potentially belt it for waist definition.

Chic & refined

Chic dress that benefits from a belt to give it more shape. Rented a S since the XS was not available. The XS would have fitted better. Nevertheless I still really liked it!

So comfy!

Like so many other reviewers said, this dress benefits from a dress or a jacket or both! It was so comfy for being on my feet all day for a work event and I loved the length and texture.

A classic, versatile dress. It’s a bit long on me but still totally works. M fits well and a S likely would too. Can easily dress up or down.

RTR Team Review

Wasn't sure how I felt about this when I put it on -- it runs pretty large and is a bit boxy. But after trying a few things, I really ended up loving it. I think the key is to add a jacket!

Cute but…

Runs a little big! Super cute if you cinch the waist with a belt otherwise it kinda swallows you.

Feels more like a cover up than a dress but cute!

The arm holes are enormous. You will show off whatever bra/swimwear you have underneath. But I wore to 2 different pool parties and got compliments at both! I do recommend belting it as there's not much shape to it otherwise. Cute option for the beach, vacation, or a pool party!

Easy and comfortable

Rented for work, only 4 stars because you need a belt or something or it looks like a sack. With a belt it was super cute and easy and comfy for work. Good, lightweight summer dress

Classic Dress

Rented this for everyday wear and for work, it was very comfortable and I received so many compliments! It is not the most flattering which is why I paired with a belt. Overall a great versatile piece!

Basically a curtain without a belt

Size down for sure. If I wasn't wearing a belt here, it drags under my feet. I still didn't wear it out because I'm swimming in it and look ridiculous. I'll try again with a smaller size.

LOVE this easy dress.

The only reason it doesn’t get 5 stars is because it runs very large. I should have sized down. But even without sizing down, I will get a lot of wear out of this one. Styled it with black cowboy boots, gold jewelry, cross body bag and a belt. Love it.

This could have looked great either way a jacket but arm holes hung down so far. Way too big. The length was great for tall girls like me.

Great dress. Easy to wear.

This is a pretty dress, but I'm only 5'2"so I had to wear with high heels or it would look really funny. I tried wearing with sneakers to walk around town, but that did not look nice

Cleopatra

I wish I had a full body picture with this! Wore it with a cold belt as it didn’t do much for my body without it . I felt both classy with a little bit of sexy . One of my coworkers said I looked like cleopatra lol.

Pleats for days!

This dress was such any easy rental. I wore it to work and also to a Friday happy hour party. I got lots of compliments yet it was so effortless! The pleats are forgiving yet flattering. The length was longer on me than what was shown in the picture. It hit right above my ankle.

High end casual

I LOVED this dress. It's not a 'tube' like someone said in the comments because I am Curvy and could actually see some Curves in this. It was the most comfortable and well fitted midi/maxi dress. It fit around the arms well and hit at the perfect Length for me at 5'2. I'd totally Buy this.
