Tea Room Afternoon!

I wasn't sure about the pattern, until I wore the dress. It's gorgeous and interesting. This dress is structured and of such good quality. The zipper in the front provides a touch of class, and is so easy to use. I wore this for an afternoon tea celebration and it did not disappoint. Very flattering and comfortable. Spring, Summer, Winter, or Fall worthy.

Percfect for multiple occasions!

I am absolutely in love with dress. I've already worn it on various occasions, from a date in London, to a TV recording in Washington, D.C. The front zipper gives you so many possibilities. It can also be dressed down, which I haven't tried yet, but I look forward to accessorizing it throughout the seasons.

Obsessed with Busayo prints

Everything about this dress made me so happy. The construction of the zip, the sleeves (beautiful buoyant upper sleeves with tapered wrists?!), the cinched waist plus an open flare skirt... Loved it! The fabric is breathable, and just beautifully made.

Gotta love a good puff sleeve!

I took a chance on this bold print because it reminded me of the gorgeous African textiles I had just seen on a trip to Ghana. OMG this dress is so fun and flattering!! I love a strong sleeve and this didn’t disappoint - and yet wasn’t over the top. Too many compliments to count, rent this!!

Chic and modern

I absolutely adored this dress! It has such a fresh, modern vibe—perfect for an art gallery opening. The way it billows at the hips while hugging the waist is just stunning. And can we talk about pockets? Who doesn't love a dress with pockets? I decided to complete the look with black opaque hose, elegant black shoes, and a chic black clutch adorned with silver hardware. It all came together beautifully!

Super Cute Pattern, Easily 3 sizes too small

This dress is even smaller than I guessed based on reviews. I’m not even sure a size 12 would have fit. However, there’s a lot of fabric so if I went up, given my height it may have been too bulky. I wore it as a coat instead and got tons of compliments.

Rent this!

I absolutely adore this dress! It is classy, yet fashion forward with Edge. I would belt it, my preferred look. I presented on stage wearing this in London, wore to a dinner in Paris and wore during a presentation to a financial firm in New York. I also wore with sneakers, ankle boots, and tall boots. Easy to wear, needs ironing, but totally worth the look and fits like a glove.

Literally perfect

Wore this to an art gallery opening. This is my 2nd time renting this dress. The safety and security that I feel zipping this all the way up is unmatched. It holds me together, looks incredible from every angle. Emphasizes my shoulders with even MORE shoulder, flatters my waist, makes it look like I have hips, makes me feel like a witch princess. POCKETS. The fabric is very light and soft, no wrinkles! The length was perfect because of the flare. I can see it working on a much taller woman too. The only reason I’m not buying this is because it’s too spectacular to wear often enough to justify owning it. The world doesn’t deserve to behold its magnificence more than once per year.

Showstopper dress

Wore this dress to my daughter’s baptism as well as a business meeting and felt fantastic in both settings. You’ll be turning heads- the puff sleeves and bold fabric are “look at Me” vibes! Great A-line profile hit in all the right places on my pear shape/mommy tummy to make me feel sleek.

Amazing and on trend

I never thought a wild print like this would be for me…but I read it was batik - and that intrigued me & I love deer lavender! It fit like it was made for my hourglsss figure. I wore it to a huge talent event and the owner loved it and remarked that I matched the stage backdrops- lol anyway - I love it- cotton so not too hot- so I bought to take into my summer vacay in Greece! Winner!

Fun dress!

Wore this for a Mardi Gras lunch and it was perfect! Very comfortable to wear. Nice weight to the fabric so it has a structured feel but had some stretch and wasn’t too heavy. Very flattering puff sleeve. It’s a bold print but was great for my event. I am typically 2-4 and the 2 fit nicely.

Very fun dress for a wet, rainy day!

Busayo Collective prints are so fun, but I realized after purchasing this one that because they are so distinctive, I won’t wear it enough to keep. It’s also a wee bit snug at the chest right now because I’ve gained weight. But it feels really good on a bleak, wet day in NYC.

Size up if you have a belly or wide rib cage

From the reviews, I was concerned I wouldn't be able to zip it, but it fit just fine over my bust (which is large). The problem I had was not being able to breathe after heavy appetizers! Definitely more comfortable wearing as a stylish jacket (thanks to a previous reviewer who suggested this!)

Stunning jacket

This jacket is gorgeous. I know that it’s described as a dress but there is no way on God’s green earth that this would ever zip up as a dress. The only way that I was even able to get it on was on camera because from the neck up, it fit! Haha!!! I wore it to record a video and for that it was perfect, but I would’ve never been able to wear it in public. I’m a size 16 and this is a size 16 but it must’ve been a size 16 children’s because seriously this thing is way too small.

Fun Print

This is one of the many reasons I love RTR. This print is so unique, it's not something that can be worn often, but it was a head-turner for some work meetings I had. Great fit and length, wore with tights and heels. Fit was perfect.
