Lightweight and flattering!

This is the only item I've seen on RTR with a full 5-star rating so I had high hopes and it didn't disappoint! (My pic is a little shadowy so doesn't show the full shaping of the dress, but hopefully gives an idea!) This a lightweight gown that fits like a glove. There is some flexible boning in the bodice and a little stretch in the material that shape any form beautifully. No need to wear a bra with this dress, but be warned: your girls will be put tactfully on display! I wore this for my anniversary dinner and a date night while I had it and my husband loved it. This dress will make you feel elegant, sexy, and comfortable all at the same time.

Obsessed

This dress is soooooo good!! I received multiple compliments from strangers when I was wearing it on vacation! The bust is a little awkward, it didn't fit as tight as I'd want it to, and sits a little higher than you expect, but I think if you have larger boobs or wear a strapless bra it would be perfection. The straps are also adjustable so it's easy to make it work. Highly recommend!!!

Perfect summer dress

I wore this to my college graduation and it was perfect! Adjustable straps were great and I have a larger chest and did not need to wear a bra.

I wore this to a wedding, and it was perfect! This dress is so comfy and lightweight. The drop-waist is so flattering. The straps are adjustable and being 5' 1" tall, the dress was a perfect length with heels. 10/10

well-made, flattering, conservative

This dress is a "long midi" - you can see shoes underneath. It is a nice, deep blue color. It is well made: it has a thick, lined skirt (this is a "a-line" fit) and a well-hemmed bodice (this is a tailored fit) I wore it (with a cardigan) to an Easter service and Easter daytime activities with family. It transitioned day to night and looked elegant. I got many compliments! I would recommend a strapless bra or "boob tape" - you would see bra straps due to the straps on the dress. The straps can be adjusted. Overall a good dress for a semi-formal occasion in spring/summer - I would order it again!

True to size, great for the girls

I'm in between sizes and ended up picking the smaller one. It fit great but tighter for larger chests, which wasn't bad but it really lifted and showed them off lol

Adorable, flattering, if a little tight in the bodice.

I love this brand and was not disappointed in the dress. The fabric is cotton and very good for warm summer temps. The top plunges quite a bit ; I should caution that there is not a lot of extra room if you are larger up top. I needed a bit of help to zip it as it was snug, but still comfortable for me once the zipper was up (back of dress is smocked/elastic). May keep this to wear a few more times, would happily rent again .

So flattering

Curvy girl here! This was so flattering, I ended up wearing it twice. I skipped the bra and spanx in this piece. Extremely flattering which is hard to find for my body type! Straps are adjustable. No pockets. Length is perfect. Skirt has just the right amount of volume. Material is high quality.

Almost perfect!

I rented for a work event and was planning on wearing it with a cropped sweater (since I'm covered in tattoos and don't show them at work) but it didn't look right with any of the sweaters so I went with another dress that I rented. However, I would absolutely rent for a spring/summer event where I wouldn't need a sweater. The dress felt comfortable and I loved how it flares out at the V, so you could eat all night and hide any bloat. I will definitely rent again for a different event.

Perfection

I received so many compliments during the night and I loved the way I looked. I’ve always wanted to try a STAUD dress, I’m happy I found this one! My size (4) did fit me perfectly on the top, I’m pretty short so the length went to my ankles.

Modern, structured, and so elegant

Wore this to a friend’s summer wedding and seriously fell in love with this dress. I was really worried about the fit on my body type (larger bust/belly) but the size 10 fit so beautifully- note to those with bigger chests, the girls were on display but not an absurd amount of cleavage. I felt so pretty and got tons of compliments, I’d absolutely rent this dress again!

Perfect for a simple navy dress with a twist. Little shorter than a maxi. I’m normally a 6 and wore the 8 for reference. Because it’s linen the dress has no stretch!

LOVED this dress. Fit perfectly true to size, and gave such a flattering shape to my figure. The navy is great to dress up or down. Very on trend, and I loved not having to commit to a purchase since the trend won’t stay forever!

I love this dress

Fits perfectly and is extremely flattering because of the build. Snatches the waist and holds in the chest so you don’t need a bra. Such a great dress. I would go true to size on fit.

TEAM RTR REVIEW

Usually a size 2 but tried on a size 4 in this dress - I would say it runs true to size but there is not much give in the torso area. I could have worn my usual size for a more fitted look. It has boning on the side seams to give a corset style look. The skirt is double lined so it has a bit of volume. Straps are adjustable which is nice! Super flattering and comfortable fabric.
