Loved this! Perfection!
This fit perfectly even on my 5'1" frame. It was perfect for a spring day that started at 60 degrees and hit 90 by 5pm. I wore it to a work meeting with strappy, blue suede heels, and a braided belt. Received countless compliments. The 8 was almost too big, but the six would've been too tight on my bust.

A little flashy for me
This was fitted across my chest since it has zero stretch, but overall it was good for an overcast, cool day. The blue is a nice touch to a black dress. It easily wrinkles, so not great for long wear or travel, and the fabric was pilling across the chest and under the arms when it arrived to me.

Made me blush
The top of this dress is built for the busty- there's plenty of room for your girls. The combination of the sweetheart cut of the top and the bright colors drew compliments from probably every single man I crossed paths with today. They were all respectful, but it was enough to make me blush towards the end of the day. I could see this dress fitting short on taller women, especially if you have a booty that might lift the back a bit. The fabric and colors made this a perfect spring dress if you don't mind some attention- lol!

Busty girls beware
I ordered my usual Med and couldn't zip at the boobs. It would've been cute with jeans and a leather jacket for the casual late afternoon party-to-dinner date outfit I had planned, but I should've ordered a large to account for the zipper/zero-give combo. I think a Med could work for a 32DDD or smaller.

When in doubt, order up
I ordered my typical size 8, but I should've heeded warnings that there is zero stretch in this dress and ordered up. It looks extremely cute, and I can't wait to get it in the next size up. It would've probably worked with Spanx, but I don't find that to comfortable for all day wear.

High waisted fun
This skirt is cute. Due to the high waist, you have to tuck in your top to appreciate the cute zipper. Even though I'm short, the back pockets rested high and didn't fall quite right on my booty. It's a good color too

Stiff and unflattering
This is not cute or comfortable. The fabric is stiff and doesn't lay well. I decided not to wear it. The Med was the right size for my body.

Like wearing pajamas
This jumpsuit has a lot of fabric. I think it would fit better on someone taller because it weighed down my frame. The overall design is so flowy that it hid my large boobs and gave me hips where the pockets rested. That said, I received a few compliments when I wore it to work with a long blazer and black pumps. And it was super easy to throw on for dinner after a long day.

Perfect sweater
This is the second time I rent this, and I am trying to justify buying it. It's not super thick or warm which is perfect for the Texas "cold." The fit is perfect on my curvy frame, and I love the rich burgundy and the subtle glitter at the neck and arm bands. I've worn it with black jeans, but I might try it with a skirt for work

Cold weather work wear
This fit like a glove. Slightly long for my stature, but it wasn't long enough to detract from the beauty of the dress and overall look. It's worth noting this was almost too tight for my upper arms which are average to athletic. The red stitch detail is lovely against the navy contrast.

Loves it!
Loved this dress! Wore it to a conference in Utah. It was warm, but it breathes well, and was never hot. It fit great with my curves, but it might be too short on a taller frame. The hem of the lining was torn on my dress, and the tweed had several snags, but they weren't obvious due to the design and colors. RTR remedied the issue by sending me a new item. Even with wear and tear, the dress was perfect!

Shapeless fit on curvy petite
This style was a dud on my body. The colors were also unflattering against my olive skin. Would be better on a taller frame.

Amazing details
I opted for the sz 10 vs 8 to be comfortable for a long event. It was loose at the waist, but was better sized for my bust. The lace collar and tasteful metallic details were exquisite, and I received a number of compliments. The size up was too large for my hips and appeared to add weight, but it still fit with the overall look of the dress.

Not for curvy petites
At first I thought I'd received the wrong dress. The material is thin and lacks the rich colors and texture that I saw in pictures. I didn't check product details, so I overlooked the flimsy and flat composition. The sleeves are cute, but the rest of the dress falls askew on a petite figure. It was not a flattering look.

Sweet sweater
This sweater doesn't offer much warmth, but it definitely makes me feel warm and fuzzy. Perfect for daytime, backyard fun.

Spandex vibes
This dress is super clingy- like the way bike shorts are clingy. I wore it with a blazer and a belt to tone down my curves.

Office approved zippers and sparkle
This dress is the perfect stylish office wear for the winter. It is definitely more chic than the pieces I normally wear.

A little too frilly for me
This dress has zero stretch- size up, especially if you're curvy. It's a beautiful dress, but the skirt was too festive for my event. The lace and uneven hem made this dress feel more "fun" and less "formal" than I wanted.
