Classic Madewell

Another win by Madewell. Fits true to size (I can wear both 4s and 6s from this brand), wore to a bridal shower. Good for tall girls, it actually hit mid to low calf which is rare for a midi dress.

Romantic, fun Madewell dress

Beautifully patterned, light cotton dress was fun to wear to multiple parties. I wore it to church with a cami because there is a tiny peek hole at the bottom of my rib cage. I get so many compliments. Ironing is needed to make it crisp.

I bought, right after the concert! I could have sized down to a 4, for a snug/more supportive fit. SO flattering!! Definitely worth a rent!

Cute summer dress, works for bigger bust and hips

Loved this dress! I’m a 38DD and was able to wear without a bra because it’s pretty supportive on top. Definitely shows more under/side boob than the model, but it felt secure. Also runs larger I think for bottoms (I wore a 12 and usually range between 12-14). I got lots of compliments- thinking about buying it. Very flattering on anyone who is hourglass shape.

Very summery!

The fabric of the dress makes it seem very summary. It does have some cut outs at the bus, but I was able to wear a normal bra just fine.

This dress fit great. I would recommend some breast tape or a stick on bra for someone w a larger chest. Very figure flattering! I’m short waisted, and it hit the right spots!

Team RTR Review

Great casual daytime dress or really for any occasion! The floral print is so pretty in person! I felt that this dress was tight in the bust area so would size up next time especially since there is little stretch. The keyhole tie is functional. FYI you could wear a bra but it may show through the kehole.

Mostly good

Larger chest gals, it can be kind of awkward… I wore a tan bra so you couldn’t really see, but the gap expands with a larger chest. Other than that, fits perfectly.

Great material and fit but this gap at the chest just isn’t ok

At 59yo with a double d chest this is just a huge nope. Material and design was comfortable otherwise. Need assistance with the zipper on back.

Absolutely loved this dress. It is lightweight and breathable, perfect for casual everyday, or dressing it up and going to a winery or brunch. I got so many compliments on this dress that I bought it, lol. Sizing is perfect, not tight through the thigh like I often worry about. Absolutely recommend

Beautiful dress!

I ended up buying because I loved it. Great fit but the chest is a bit loose (can't really tighten with strings). Decided to buy a size 4 instead so I can wear it bra less since it looks better without.

Versatile and cute!

I wore this to a work conference with a light tank underneath. It was a great fit, although i wish i had a little bigger breasts to fill out that area but it still didn’t look bad! Loved the pattern and the material. I was in super hot humid weather and the dress had great breathability.
