Perfect Casual Work Dress

I wore this on my first day at a new job and felt confident and comfortable all day. The fit was true to size, and being a wrap dress made it super customizable to my shape. The linen fabric was perfect for the summer heat in South Carolina, but it does wrinkle easily, so keep that in mind. Overall, I loved it and got tons of compliments!

Cute and comfy with a 1940s vibe

I felt like a vintage 1940s lady with this dress - super cute with pearls and heels. Cotton material perfect for spring.

Loved this dress

Ralph Lauren designs always fit and look great. I starched and ironed this before going to church, but typical linen, it doesn’t look like I did. I got lots of compliments. The dress has pockets!!! And it fits so nicely.

Gorgeous Sea-foam Color!

Soft and floaty, beautiful cut and length. Loved this linen dress! Needed lots of steaming and wrinkles of course, but that’s linen for you!

Almost perfect day dress

I absolutely loved this dress! I plan to sew a similar dress out of a different fabric, since linen wrinkles so easily. If you don’t have a long day of travel like I did, you’ll look neat and tidy. Rent it!

Loved!

Great color and fit. It does wrinkle a bit but this photo is after it had been in my luggage. A bit warm for linen cause it's a heavier weight.

Cute and breezy linen dress — polished yet effortless for warm days.

This Ralph Lauren linen mixed dress was perfect for a hot day — light, airy, and so comfortable. I loved the tie waist detail, which gave it a flattering shape while still feeling casual and easy. It’s one of those pieces that makes you look instantly put together without trying too hard. I felt confident, stylish, and cool all at once. Definitely a go-to for summer days when you still want a polished look.

Great summer dress

This dress was super breathable. It was great for the extremely hot days. The only pit is it is linen and of course it wrinkles so bad.

Wrinkles too easily

I love this dress - well made, beautiful color, fits perfectly. But, after a long day at work (after I freshly pressed it that morning) it looks like this? Not worth the trouble (unfortunately!).

Wore around town and it was super comfortable, cotton, breathable on a warm day. True to size but no stretch, and with bigger biceps, the buttons on the sleeves needed undoing for me.

Such a lovely color of blue -- for some reason it reads more fall-ish than you'd think (at least in the South). Really a lovely dress and a great fit.

I loved this dress so much I bought it. It’s very flattering and super comfortable. I wore it to a work dinner and felt like I was dressed just right for the occasion. It was not too dressy or too casual. Highly recommend.

Really flattering, does wrinkle

This fit perfectly, it does wrinkle VERY easily (being linen) so just know that if you're packing it somewhere make sure you have an iron or steamer or something, but it is very cute.

I almost bought this because I loved it so much. Comfortable but classic and put together. I got tons of compliments just walking around running Saturday errands. Nice, breezy fabric for summer. Just enough detail to be interesting. Super flattering.

Excellent summer essential

I wore this to my son’s graduation on one of the hottest days. While everyone else was sweating, I was cool as a cucumber. One of the best dresses, I’ve rented so far. I wore it with both sandals and sneakers.

Great For Tall Girls

Wore this to church as its longer than some of my other dresses. Always a relief when I order from RTR cause things tend to run short on a 5'9" person. Didn't wrinkle too much, would wear it again for sure.
