size up!

I’m normally a S or M and i would recommend a Medium. I have a smaller chest but i’m glad i sized up because it was tight on the chest ! Amazing for the summer !

Easy to wear. Length runs on the longer side

Fabric is slightly on the heavier side but overall weight of dress is not heavy.

Team RTR Review

great length for talls! only negative about this dress is the sleeves are very tight, not made of stretchy material, and fall right at the biceps making it slightly uncomfortable. has pockets!

This dress is amazing!!!

I wore it to work, coffee with friends, and dinner with family. It fits just right and has an amazing shape and cut. Incredibly comfortable. Would buy but I’d rather just rent again!

Summer fave

Easy dress to throw on and can easily be dressed up or down. The fabric is soft, the puff sleeve make it interesting and it’s fitted in all the right places. Def a great piece to wear into fall.

Fun Gingham

The real win is the pockets, but also it's cute and comfortable and forgiving.

This had an easy fit and was cute! Has pockets. Smocking was a little longer than I like making it a bit unflattering on hips imo

Awkward length and fit

Didn’t wear this one, the proportions were all off for me. Not cute. Bummed because the gingham is super cute.
