Loved and bought!

This dress feels special. It is cut on the bias and has ruching so it fits snugly without feeling constricting and is very flattering. I wore it to a fancy luncheon with stripy heels during the day and then popped a leather jacket and Doc Martens for night and felt very cool in a bar setting haha. I also think it would work great with a baggy sweater thrown over it to change the look up. Very versatile for such a distinct print.

Obsessed with the fit of this dress. Perfectly cinched at the waist, and fun details with the puffy shoulders and asymmetrical hem. Wore for thanksgiving and it was perfect!

Flattering, elevated and comfortable!

This is my second time renting this dress and I just feel so confident every time I put it on! Definitely tight on the waist, but for me that's what I prefer.

Fabulous Fall Dress

I’ve been loving Simkhai dresses! The fit is super forgiving and love the ruching. The side zipper zipped up with no problem but If my chest was any bigger I may have had difficulties zipping up.

Actually gave me a waist

Great dress that created the effect that I have a waist. I’m a pear, and the dress made me feel less pearlike.

Team RTR Review

I loved this dress. The ruching helped hide areas I am self conscious about! I have a 36D bra size, and the girls just fit in there. Little stretch in the chest area. I wore with a black blazer during the day at work and then took the blazer off for dinner and drinks!

Rent this!!! So flattering and cute

This dress was SO cute for work. Not too hot for a 65 degree day but warm enough for the colder 40ish degree morning with a jacket over it. The style was super flattering and I got a ton of compliments! Wore it 3 different times to 2 work events and 1 dinner with friends. The bust area was on the tighter side for my bigger chest, but it still fit!

Snatched waist

Super comfy dress that you can dress up or down. Ruching at the waist makes you look skinny as a needle. Wore this with knee high boots for Valentine’s Day dinner.

Fits like a GLOVE

As soon as I saw the ruching I knew this dress would be so flattering and it did not disappoint & I purposefully sized down - I’m a 10 and the M is just perfectly snatched! I will say it was hard to get all the wrinkles out of this dress but the pattern is distracting so no biggie - either way 10/10 work dress

Great fit for the curvy woman

This dress fit my curves perfectly—which I haven’t always been able to find in ready to wear garments. Its 90’s vibes are back in style (thank you because the 90’s were the best!) And I got lots of compliments. :)

This one hugs the curves, so you need to be comfortable with that. It’s such a unique dress, and it feels really good on.

Perfect fall transition piece

This dress is a good one! Feels totally effortless and casual but there are great details with the hemline and cinched waist on one side. Light material for a transition outfit between seasons and lots of color to match with whatever.

Awesome dress, would size up if between sizes

I'm between sizes (S/M) but will order a M because I find it more comfortable even though it's often a bit big. This M fit perfectly! The sleeves have a bit of volume that I find flattering and I liked this dress a ton

Fun and cute dress for the office!

This dress fit well - the waist is super snatched and the pleats/folds are so flattering! The print is fun but since it's neutral it doesn't feel too busy. It's a versatile piece and you could wear this with a lot of different shoes/boots and accessories. I definitely plan to rent this again!

Great dress - tight in the waist

Appropriate for work or for a nice dinner out, but be aware it’s tight through the waist. If you are curvy or have an apple shape, you may want to size up.

Unexpectedly loved it!

Bias cut is always tricky with me, so I was a bit skeptical when renting. I was pleasantly surprised! The dress fit like a glove! Ended up wearing it multiple times to work and a leadership course. I received multiple compliments on it. And the ruching is placed perfectly! I'm still losing some baby weight and it concealed my midsection without being obvious or uncomfortable.

Gorgeous dress but the top is ridiculously small

I chose to go out of my comfort zone with this dress since I never wear earth tones. It is exquisite in person and fits like a dream until you try to zip it up. The top half of the dress is ridiculously small — I am a smallish C and a standard size 10. This size 10 dress would not close — not even close! What a pity, because it made my waist and hips look amazing… But I will try another Simkhai dress for sure!
