Very wearable

I most recent wore this on vacation in London. It’s a great piece, packs reasonably well and I touched it up with an iron. It’s quite oversized, so I went with the M-L this time around. It’s extremely well made and dresses up or down with different accessories.

Perfect dress

Absolutely loved this, almost bought it but would definitely rent again. Perfect for a growing pregnant body, and got lots of compliments on it. The embroidery adds the perfect amount of fun to this dress. Incredibly comfortable and well-made + pockets! Hit just above the ankles and I’m 5-2”ish

Easy breezy summer dress.

Beautiful easy-to-wear dress. I wore it to work and to an outdoor party. It was great for a steamy summer day. I appreciated the pockets and the somewhat oversized fit that could be cinched in by the belt.

Great Everyday Dress

I wish the belt was detachable so the dress could be more easily used for lounging. It’s a great summer dress, I’ve worn from casual Friday at work, to shopping, to a dinner with friends.

Great for the beach or a cruise

I wore this dress all summer. It has generous proportions and is cinched with a belt. The appliqué work down the front make it stand apart from other blue and white striped beach dresses.

Breezy

This dress is great for hot days! It has such a nice flow to it. This caftan runs a good bit oversized. I'm a size small, and this swallowed me whole, even with the belt. The armholes are a bit weird; you'll have to readjust your dress after sitting so that you can move your arms. Despite its quirks, I really like this dress and would rent it again.

Beautiful detail

This dress is so cute and comfortable. I tied the belt in the back to show off the beautiful embroidery. And it has pockets. It runs large, so size down.

Cool, oversized chic look

I received a ton of compliments on this dress… Perhaps because it is such a different style from what is worn in my town? It’s a style that I don’t normally gravitate towards, but enjoyed trying it out for a weekend look. The dress is VERY oversized, which was a bit of a challenge. Once I tied the belt very tightly and adjusted the draping of the fabric in the back, the dress lay much better and didn’t feel like an oversized caftan. I feel that people who are on the taller side will carry the dress off the best. But it’s a great one to take on vacation and feel put together.

New w tags, too voluminous

Beautiful smooth cotton kaftan, perfect for a tropical vacation. Was too large for my tastes, so I'd say size down for oversized without drowning in fabric.

Comfortable for hot and humid weather. Light cotton material makes this dress breathable. Fit a little big, but I may have over estimated my size. Wore it to middle school graduation. Perfect level of “formal”

Great dress!

I wore to work, but this could easily work for date night, vacation, etc. Super comfortable. The belt was nice to cinch the waist. I probably could have gone a size down. It might run a little large.

Fun versatile dress

I really enjoyed this dress for vacation. I also wore it to work when I got back. Very versatile light, easy to wear. I will be renting this one often. Unlike the other Carolina K dresses on RTR this one isn’t as wrinkly and has nicer fabric than the others.

Not really formfitting but adorable

This dress is not really made for women with curves, a bunched up in the midsection around my behind and my stomach making both areas look larger, but super cute if that doesn’t bother you

Perfect for hot weather

Wore this to a graduation in New Orleans- HOT and HUMID. This dress didn't require shapewear, was flattering (especially the shoulders/arms), and was incredibly comfortable. The only thing that I had to pay attention to was the sash belt would ride up when I sat down, but other than that, it was perfect for the occasion! It fit TTS, if not on the larger side, so I can definitely see it working for lots of folks!
