So many compliments. Threading was coming out on sleeves but not super noticeable. Very very cute and comfy.

Loved it

This was a bit outside my comfort zone, but was perfect for hosting a baby shower. I was running late and had not even tried it on before I left. Luckily, it fit perfectly. I am in between a size 8 and 10, but the large was needed for my bust and shoulders.

Nonstop compliments

I've rented this dress a few times, for work social events in the mountains, in the desert and in the city. It's a gorgeous, well-made dress with vibrant colors that makes you feel like a million bucks. It's made of a thicker, somewhat stiff fabric. Also, the slit in the front goes pretty high up, to the point where you need to be careful when sitting down. But it's a total winner.

Perfect vacay dinner dress!

I am 5’1”… length was perfect as a longer midi. Kept me warm on a 60 degree night but fabric is breathable for warmer weather. Loved wearing this!

Finally snagged this dress!

Whenever something Sea becomes available, it’s almost always added to my heart list and this piece was so exception! It’s a heavier material so it’s perfect for fall/winter and the tie waist helps it from feeling boxy. Beautiful detailing and can easily be worn dressed up or down!

Amazing dress will rent again

Loved this dress for a winter day with tights. Also wore it on vacation in Cabo and it was lovely. This is a great transitional peace as can be worn in winter and spring or fall. (Colors more suited to the fall). Will definitely rent again

A Compliment Magnet

Literally had someone stick their head out of a bus to compliment this dress. The slit in the front is too high for my preference but some thick black tights were the perfect solution.

A million compliments

I wore this to work (I teach high school) and everyone, from my colleagues to my students, loved the dress. I was a little afraid of the puffed sleeves, but they are in perfect proportion with the rest of the dress. My waist looked snatched, and it gave me an hourglass figure. This dress could be worn for any occasion! A true treasure.

Pretty

Great colors and patterns, as you'd expect from Sea New York. The stiff fabric felt like it added some bulk to my frame, but overall still liked it and got compliments. The belt is stitched into place, so you have to tie it on the right side.

Stunning and easy to wear

Wore this for a date night on vacation on a cooler, early Fall evening in VA. This dress is easy to throw on and is transformed by the belt from heavy sack to cinched waist. The fabric is heavy so would recommend for mild-cooler temps. Would definitely rent again!

TEAM RTR REVIEW

This dress is so fab!! There is a slight front slit which I love as this dress is otherwise on the more conservative side. The material is lightly thicker and a tad bit boxy. I’m 5’1 and this was true midi length on me. I flex between a size 2-4 (XS/S) depending on the brand and consistently size down when it comes to Sea (went with an XS here) as the brand usually has an oversized fit and it cit very comfortably. Wore this to some fashion week events and got tons of compliments! Opted for a chunky sandal here, but this could be paired with a tall black suede boot or chunky black loafer to give it a full-on fall feel.

Beautiful patterns, flattering

I LOVED this dress and found it so stunning with the pattern and felt the silhouette was very flattering. I did not wear, though. It is quite heavy and down south it’s already in the 90s. This is better for that early fall or spring mid temps. Or 100% inside in the summer. The dress was lovely and didn’t even need a steam.

Loved this rental!

Head-turner colors, tons of compliments. The L was a good fit though I might have been able to size down. I wore a camisole underneath as it was very low cut and the arms are A LOT of fabric! The fabric belt is attached to the dress.

Stunning. Rent it now before all the color is stripped

Love this brands summer designs. Dress was perfect for winter/spring transition. No cross notes on sizing. However, the color on the dress is quickly being stripped away via dry cleaning, so rent it now!
