Cute but Heavy

Super cute dress and very nice material. Just very thick material! Maybe not the best choice for a hot day. Was able to wear it to my baby shower so cute maternity dress!

Heavy but memorable!

I loved this dress! It is long- just an fyi for a more petite frame. It's lined, so no issues with the pattern. Heavy material, but great for a work dinner. It is just an interesting and fun dress!

Perfect spring time dress

Heavy material and the dress itself is heavy. Definitely sucks you in some and falls nicely. I wore it for a family brunch/lunch and was perfect for it!

This is the most perfect dress I may have ever received from RTR

I wore this for a graduation and it was so perfect. I got so many compliments on it, and it was beautiful, wonderful quality. I loved it so much, I wore it to church before I returned it that afternoon. I would certainly rent this again.

Wow

I sized down based on reviews, was a bit tight on my large bust, but fit great everywhere else. Incredible quality. Very heavy dress. Such an eye catcher everywhere I went!

Wore for a sunset boat cruise. Beautiful material that hugs but is not clingy. The pattern does draw attention to midsection in photos.

So comfortable!

I rented this dress for a bachelorette weekend on cape cod and it was perfect! I will say its a bit of a "heavier" dress, but that didn't bother me at all. There is a lining underneath and it was super comfortable to wear all night long.

Loved it

Loved everything about this. The fit was great, the knot was heavy enough to hang well but light enough to wear in the heat, and the color is great. I had to be a little careful not to get the dress caught on things, because the holes are just the right size to snag, but that’s just a thing to keep in mind. I’ll rent this again

Beautiful dress!

This dress was beautiful! It is very long, and very heavy but hangs well and hugs the body. The L was actually too big and I would order a M next time. Will definitely rent again.

So heavy

So I love it but it was SO heavy to the point that it stretched out the arm holes and made those weirdly large. Dress went to the floor on me and I loved it otherwise. Just hard to find a bra that won't show with how large the arm openings were. Probs needed to size down but that's a me issue

Unique and Great for Transitional Weather

This is a pretty heavy dress, with the cutouts/holes covering the entire exterior layer - there is a lining that goes down to the knees. Received a ton of compliments - though I felt like the weight of the dress made the waist hang out, such that it didn't hug my waist. Some folks might find that a plus, but I would have liked a little more shape through that section. I did wear a white blazer over it because I wore to a work function, and that looked great.

Dress was very heavy and perhaps not great for summer because of the weight and my petite frame, but otherwise very fun
