LOVE
I love this dress! Was told I looked like a salsa dancer - I'll take it! This dress fit so well across the chest and the rest was so fun! Fabric is light and breezy.

So long but so cute
I WISH this wasn't so long. I couldn't even wear it with heels because it would have been dragging around all day. It was a perfect fit on top. The arm holes were a little on the small side with very little give.

Long Straps, Good Length
This dress is ADORABLE but it wasn't super comfortable because the straps were too long even on the shorter setting and it kept sliding down. Pockets almost make up for that!

Second time renting this, years apart
I got this again because I was on a time crunch and it was a tried-and-true piece from rtr. Doesn't disappoint. I was probably 7lbs lighter last time I wore this and it still fits great. It's a lot of fabric for someone who is more petite but I don't feel like I'm wearing a sack!

Cute and comfy - perfect for running errands or grabbing brunch.
Received so many compliments on this dress - I think it was mainly the color that people loved. Beautiful fabric and feels really good on. A little long on me because I'm 5'3", but not so much so that it looked odd.

Awkward fit
Unfortunately, as much as I tried to adjust the wrap to make this fit, couldn't get it to look anything more than awkward. If I had a long torso and small bum this would have fit much better. Actually...if this wasn't made so long and had a little more room in the hips, IT would have fit ME.

Too tight around the booty
I'm a size or two bigger in my "hip" measurement than in my waist measurement so this did not fit properly. I'm between an XS and a S, so I may try the small because the fabric and colors were beautiful!

Adorable and comfortable
This dress may run a tad big but it should be flowy so I would order based on your shirt size. The fabric is thick and beautiful, adorable color, length was perfect -just a couple of inches above my knee ( I am 5'3"). Wouldn't recommend for warm-hot weather if you're going to be outside.

Don't plan on wearing this if you're pear-shaped
Normally being a 2 on top and 4 on bottom, I decided on a 4 after reading reviews. The top was very loose and the bottom was way too tight. There is little-to-no give in the fabric and it pulled across the bum. If you're pear-shaped don't bother with this dress. If you're not, it really is a pretty dress made of a lovely fabric.
