Easiest dress to wear

Took this on vacation. So comfy and loose fitting. I wore it 3-5 times.

Cute and comfy!

I didn’t think this dress was *super* special but I did wear it twice on vacation in Southeast Asia. Very breathable and the sleeves make it more interesting than your average dress.

Itchy Mini Golf

Just not my favorite. It’s cut so that a regular bra won’t work - the cute little opening in the back shows my triple hook granny bra. Its also suprisingly itchy and the elastic around the arms was uncomfortable. I ended up throwing on a sports bra with it and wore it to play an itchy round of putt putt with my boys. This one was a miss for me. (unlike my HOLE IN ONE TODAY! ⛳️ )

Felt dumpy

This just didn't work for me. While it was causal and easy to wear around the house, it was not flattering at all. The open back was a great concept but it just didn't execute well. This was somewhere between babydoll and a-line and just not a good fit on athletic body type.

Versatile!

This was super comfy and flattering. I wore it to a farmers market and day date because it was due back. I would have loved to wear it out with feels. It looked great with little white sneakers.

Cuter than expected

This dress is sexy and modest at the same time. I didn’t end up wearing it but I love it. I’m 5’2” and the length was just right.

Fun and flirty

This was a cute and comfortable dress - if you're larger-chested, though, it's a bit more revealing than I would've htough.

For the size, this should not have fit so small

Very cute but sleeve elastic is way too tight

I loved every part of this dress, except the elastic on the sleeve. If it wasn't for that, I could wear it all day. But after about an hour there were marks.

Hard to wear a bra with and low cut for large chests, but easy enough that I wore a few times.

Not a true 14

I feel like most, if not all, RTR sizes over a 10 are just not true. I’ve tried at least four different size 12,14, and 16 dresses and they just don’t fit like others… kinda sucks.

Awkward fit

Didn’t fit me, the bust line wasn’t low enough, kind of looks like a maternity dress like all empire waist dresses. Wanted this to be fun and flirty for spring but never wore it

Short!

The look is very wrinkly and it was super short.
