Slightly tight across the chest (34C) for a loose dress but overall beautiful fabric and classic fit. It Would have looked better without the black tights but it was cold so they were necessary!

Very forgiving & classy

I wore the dress for my daughter's christening. The dress was perfect and hid some of those "new mom curves" with the help of shape wear. As I figure out what size I am for the near future from pregnancy/having a baby/nursing, this was the only dress I kept from my first monthly RTR subscription bag. As my best guess since I'm not my normal size or shape, it fit TTS. I would rent it again.

Christmas fairy

Loved this dress! So light and airy with beautiful but subtle details. Super crisp, felt like I was fluttering around. Received so many compliments from complete strangers. Fabric is thin so wear streamlined undergarments.I normally wear a size 0 and this was perfect all over

Classy red dress if a little twee

Rented this and another red dress as options for my company holiday party. Ended up choosing to wear the other dress so I wore this on a nice date for Xmas eve with my husband. Not totally my style (the cape is interesting but it felt a little twee?) but I did get compliments on it. Fit well, maybe even a bit roomy.

Cute dress, but a little plain from the front.

Cute, simple. The cape hides any imperfections from the back though. Don't sweat, it'll be immediately obvious on the dress.

Luxurious material and whimsical detail

Fitted top with a high neck and cape back that conceals bra lines! A-line skirt. The fabric is crepe but the inside is satiny which feels amazing! Length hits at the widest part of my calves (I'm 5'1") so I wish it were shorter. Overall it's a beautiful dress and I feel great wearing it!

Gorgeous Red Dress

Being in the holiday season, this dress was a beautiful red to get in the spirit. Due to cold weather and wearing to work, I did wear a black suit jacket with this. It was a tad wrinkly and straightened as the day continued. I did not wear the tie as a bow, and made loose loops for something different. It stayed in place all day, and it was a long one. Incredibly comfortable, will rent again.

Super cute but sadly my natural 32 DD chest didn't fit in it so I didn't get to wear it.

Wrong Size

I usually wear a 4 in dresses and sized up to a 42 because I notice European designers fit me a little on the tight side. Turns out this was a mistake and I should have gotten the 40 because the waist was huge on me. The color and style were pretty, though.

A bit baggy around the waist

I normally love RED Valentino but this was not right for my body type. I am normally a size 4 and ordered accordingly. The length was great but the high neck and fit around the waist and chest made me appear almost shapeless and really hid my waist. I returned without wearing. It is high quality for someone with a different body type.

Lovely conservative dress

Rented for work. Right in the arm holes and under bust line. Was fine for a day at the office but couldn't wait to get it off at the end of the day

Runs small in arms

I’m usually between a 6 and an 8 and the 6 was a little too small, especially under the arms. Overall I would say this dress was just okay, but I might try it again in the future in the 8. Cape is a little odd but dress is nice for a conservative holiday party.

Tight in the arms

The dress fit fine throughout the body but I could not get the top to zip as it was very tight around my arms/ neck. It had the potential to be cute but even if the top fit it would have been too short for work.
