Exotic

I wore this exotic gown to a Michelin Star dinner in Thailand. It was perfection. The petite would have fit better but I did not mind the pooling at the bottom. It was elegant!

STUNNING

I am 5'1 the R was a little long but nothing that was not manageable specially with heels. I have a belly and in this dress one could never tell. The back ties are made of the same material as the rest of the dress. It was comfortable once it was tied well,everything stayed in place.

Wore for a wedding and absolutely loved it! You can tie it tighter or looser as needed. It operates like a top and bottom so it's more flattering than I even expected

So fun and comfortable, perfect for a summer wedding. Got so many compliments. Normally between a 2-4, the XS fit perfectly. I’m 5’4 and wore heels, length wasn’t an issue.

10/10 so many compliments

Wore this to a wedding in the Azores, and it was perfection. The fabric lays perfectly. I did tuck the front in as a top/skirt look, versus out like a scarf. Was just my preference.

True to size. Needed fashion tape to hold the bandana like top in place.

Danced the night away with no adjustments to the neck tie or the back tie. One gal at the event called me the beautiful dress lady. Lots of compliments.

Beautiful dress. Colors are rich and great on all skin tones. Fit is adjustable.

The material is luxurious and I felt great in this dress. I didn’t receive the XS due to a problem with receipt of the dress from the previous party, but I was able to make the small work. The front apron is separate from the skirt making it very flattering in the midsection. The ties help hold the bust since a bra isn’t an option. I used fabric tape as suggested by others and felt beautiful all night.

Perfect tropical formal dress

I wore this to a wedding in Tulum and it was perfect. I ordered both the XS and the S, and the XS was a better fit in the waist given the low back. Bust easy to adjust with the tie and the open back kept me cool in the hot weather. 100% recommend!

Looks beautiful, fit well but shorter than expected

I’m 5’11” and wore about 3 inch heels, reading other reviews I thought it would be a bit longer, as it did not cover my feet even when barefoot. Love that it had a long option though

This dress was beautiful and comfortable. Got many compliments on it throughout the night. I'm curvy and it was a very flattering fit-- the halter/back ties give room to make it adjustable so that you can fit the dress perfectly to your frame.

I got so many compliments on this dress. It was extremely comfortable for a black tie wedding in the middle of summer in Galveston, TX (if you can imagine how hot the weather was). The back by the zipper gaped a tiny bit but wasn’t a big issue. True to size!

SO GORG

I’m 5’4 and ended up wearing the Small Petite with taller 4 inch platform heels and it hit the floor perfectly. The XS Reg was too long. I also used some fashion tape around my underarms to ensure it stayed up all night since the fabric is slippy and I didn’t trust the ties fully. Beautiful dress!!

Really pretty but a little less formal than expected

I rented this to wear to a wedding but I didn’t realize that in person it looks like a handkerchief style top and a skirt, so it was definitely a bit less formal than I expected. I wore it for the welcome party instead and got a TON of compliments. I went a size larger because I feel like retrofete could run small but it was a tad loose. It is a tie back so I just pulled it in tight and it was all fine. Probably would rent this for a beach wedding

Dream destination wedding guest dress

Fell in love with this dress while browsing a year ago and was waiting for it to come in stock for months. It was never available with my subscription, which was disappointing , but since i had to have it i rented it as a one time rental. It was perfect for a destination wedding in Cabo. I rented both a small and xs . Originally i felt like the xs fit and stayed up better (it’s a tie neck almost scarf like too and not totally connected to the skirt , so it loosens as you wear) , but i felt bloated the day of the wedding and went with the s, which also had a bit more length. The scarf top style ended up working well to hide any self conscious lower tummy problem areas which was a huge win! The only complaint was it was shorter than i would have liked for a gown like this and i wish it had been available in long.

So stunning and high quality!

Decided to wear something else for my event but will absolutely rent this again for a beachy/tropical wedding in the future. The XS long was the only size available and I am 5’7 wearing 2.5” heels. With a bit taller heel would be perfect! Material was so nice - I have wider hips and it didn’t pull at all.

Comfortable and chic!

Ended up loving this dress - at first I felt the fabric gathered funny at the hips but once I got it all tied in the right positions, it fit like a glove. Was really comfortable to wear and it hugged the curves in all the right ways. Purse and earrings are RTR also.
