Adore

Loved this as a fall transition piece here in the south where it's still hitting 90 in October- I also took it on a trip to LA and threw a cream colored sweater over it in the morning and at night- looked adorable. It's a little tight in the bust/ underarms so if you're uncomfortable with the possibility of armpit flab, I'd size up. Otherwise, embrace the bralessness and rent this cute dress.

Fresh dress

Perfect dress for a vacation or everyday use. Very fresh and flowy. The top part is a bit tight, so I might suggest sizing up.

Team RTR Review

This dress is just perfect for everyday wear! It's airy and has a relaxed, feminine vibe. The fabric feels like cotton gauze. The straps are comfortable and the elastic waistband stretches nicely without digging in. It's a tad sheer, so I wore shorts underneath. And bonus- it has pockets! At 5’2” this fit like wearing a maxi dress.

The smocked top is great for any bust size! Loved the color and layered with a jean jacket in cooler weather.

Wore it all summer

I got this dress for my honeymoon in Italy and loved it so much that I ended up keeping it the whole summer. It's so easy to throw on but makes you feel instantly put together. Super breezy, no need for a bra, great for how hot NYC was this summer, but also looked cute with a knit sweater over it.

Love the print and how light it looks and feels. Fits better than other Marine Layer dresses I’ve tried where the torso fit is a bit off. Would definitely rent again

This was so comfortable! I almost kept this style, as it was great for everyday wear, whether I was around my home, or out shopping for groceries, etc. Has stretch to it at the top, so fit very well! And it has pockets!!! Win!

Here for the summer stripes!

Perfect for everyday errands that can be dressed up if needed! Fabric is still light enough for summer but still felt durable. Wore 5 months pregnant and had plenty of room for the bump!

AMAZING!

Rented for my growing 20-week bump for a vaca and it's my fav piece out of everything I rented. Enough support to go braless and I am so excited to wear. I might buy this because the length & fit is just perfect and I know it will accommodate the next coming weeks since it's stretchy

This dress is another throw on and go. This one in a L is a little big on me-even with my breastfeeding chest- but not too big that I couldn’t wear it.

Armpit flub

There’s nothing really special or high quality about this. It was hard to find a bra that worked with it. Also gathered at my chest and an unflattering way. Meh.

Just okay

Pockets are lined with the same thick gauzy fabric as the dress, so they add a lot of volume to your hip area. Didn’t love that. Just an okay casual dress - returned.

This is a staple for me. So easy to throw on as a postpartum mom of 2 that lets me easily breastfeed and chase a toddler while being comfortable.
