Well-made dress for a white party
The heftier stretchy denim-like fabric felt substantial, and this dress is nicely crafted.

Height: 5' 6"
Weight: 172lbs

Too small across chest - didn't wear
This is a lovely dress, and despite wearing a 10 in this brand in another dress, this one is slimmer and made for a more svelte upper body with a ballerina-type figure.

First VB Dress - should have sized up
Nice dress, although the drawstrings would have annoyed me. No worries though since I couldn't zip it. Well made, nice color, kinda wrinkly.

Gorgeous fabric and construction, small in the chest
Other reviews said is was best for a smaller bodice, but I usually wear a 10. Sadly couldn't zip the top of this dress. Best on a ballerina-like figure. Lovely, luminous dress.

Didn't wear -
Too small so couldn't quite zip the top. Boning and interior structure was pokey.

Top two buttons were unbuttonable. Too tight for this straight-up-and-down girl!
Fun for a coastal environment, especially where lots of women sport plain white jeans. Too small for me and next size wasn't available. Well made and nice legroom, which is a challenge for my muscular calves. Bummed I couldn't wear them!

Lovely and sassy for the Greek vacation in my dreams!
This wasn't available when I was looking for a festive frock, and I thought I'd come up with someplace to wear it, but no luck. I asked my daughter where I could wear it and she said, "Greece!" The bottom half of the dress is unlined eyelet with slits on sides. Really fun and flattering. Part of me wants to hold on to it until I plan a trip to the islands!

I chose this bias-cut dress for my niece's outdoor graduation ceremony. Winner!
Per other reviewers, this runs quite small. I usually wear an 8 and wore the 12 in this. (If I weren't a little thick in the midsection, a 10 may have worked.) The silk is lightweight, and the bias-cut made it easy to wear. Ended up wearing it to a Charleston anniversary dinner also. Love the colors and floral pattern!

Fun print with embroidered neckline
My fave dress of my first RTR unlimited order, but other reviewers were spot on about this running really small. My 14yo daughter wears a 2 and this was only a little large on her. May try and secure a larger size. Fun, flirty, lightweight silk, colorful!

Fun, bold, funky hemline.
I think a medium would have worked better but it wasn't available. Fabric is a lighter weight woven cotton than I gathered from photo. Front is cute and shows off shoulders but back elastic is big and drops below strapless bra. Not sure if a medium would eliminate the too-loose back problem. Didn't wear.

Best on a tall woman with curves and chest.
The only available size (10) was too big. Well made, nice fabric (although heavy for Charleston summer and has no give). The straps were rather long and chest area too large (and I'm a 34 D). Length and upper body fit would be better on someone tall (and I'm 5'6"). Didn't wear.
