HOT

Wore this for a friends nightclub birthday and felt so gorgeous. It is definitely short and blew up in the wind, but with a little fashion tape you'd be fine.

So cute! So short!

Like others have said, the straps are really long and not adjustable, so you do have to tie them. The dress also runs a bit short generally, and the slit goes all the way up, so you have to be comfortable with that. Really cute though and such fun colors!

Very short but with spanx on you’d never know.

The straps came with a clip to cross them in the middle to make them tighter but I took that off and it fit great. Very light and perfect for tropical weather

This dress is a need

I’ve never liked satin cowl neck tops or dresses bc they always gape open and I don’t fill them out correctly. But this dress was so perfectly designed it fit in all the right places and even has a little weight in the chest part that keeps the fabric from opening. Absolutely beautiful and got compliments all night 🤩

The slit goes a little high, but I used some fashion tape, and it worked perfectly!

SHORT dress

I am tall and this dress is short so yes the lower butt does peak out when standing, but I wore is as a party dress only around close friends. It’s so comfortable and cute styled with or without fishnets

Sexy AF but not for windy days!

Amazing dress but not for the faint of heart, very revealing. NOTE, the top hangs loose so I had to use tape hold my chest at attention. Beware the wind, there is absolutely no holding this dress down bc of the lightweight fabric and high slit. Rent this for your next vacation!!! You will love it.

I loved so much I purchased. I wore to beach wedding and out for a couples date night. Straps are not adjustable on this one but I have a longer torso which fits perfectly on.

I'm a size 4 or 6 and the M fit nicely around my waist. The straps were super long and lose, I had to pin them down.

I live in Florida so this is a weekend everything dress.

Love love love!!! May be one of the top 2 items ever from RTR! Warning that this is made for a petite person. The straps do NOT adjust but were perfect for me. Its cut HIGH and I’m only 5’2!. We show skin in Florida so it’s not a big deal but even I might safety pin the slit for security sake!

Very pretty dress but the slit is very high - essentially to your underwear. This dress was easy to pack bc it didn’t need steamed. I would order again!

Light and comfortable

This was a fun dress. Straps were a little long on me and kept sliding off my shoulders, I used a little fashion tape on my chest so the top didn’t go down with them. Also taped the slit on the side a little, as other reviews say it goes all the way up. Fine standing and sitting for the most part but sliding in and out of my Uber would have been a show without that.

This one won’t work for every occasion because it shows a lot of skin. It runs true to size, but the straps are a little long and the slit is a little high.

Wanted to keep forever

Heads up there is nothing keeping the slit together, so one strong breeze and all your goodies will be exposed! I put a small piece of fabric tape to keep it from opening. Otherwise it was perfect and I loved it so much!

Sexy & fun

Loved this dress! I wore it my birthday weekend when I went dancing. I received so many compliments! For a short dress with not that much fabric, it really compliments all body parts! I would say it’s true to size but if you want to be on the safer side feel free to order a size up, I don’t think the difference would be too significant. The straps comments are true, they run a little large but I made little knots that surprisingly stayed on all night (and I was dancing my ass off) and you could barely see them. Ohhhh do keep in mind how windy your city is! I’m in Chicago haha so it’s super windy but I new I would be jumping right from the Uber to the club so there was no issue, but if it’s an outside event and there is even a little bit of wind you won’t have a good time.

The perfect summer party dress

I could go on forever about how much I loved this dress! It's perfect for a bachelorette, girls trip, or summer party. It's SUPER lightweight and there is a slit that goes all the way up, so be aware of weather as it probably would not be ideal for a windy night

Tropical fun with a spicy slit

Perfect silky dress for a night out on the beach. Just be warned that the slit is insanely high and you'll likely need to pin or tape it so you don't completely flash everyone. Not sure why the dress doesn't just come with a button there or extra stitches, but it's so cute I didn't mind a little extra work

LOVE!

Love the pattern and color of this dress!! I wore it to a day wine tasting event but this could easily be worn for a summer night party. It's cut way up the side so you do have to be careful with it, but it's such a fun dress!
