This was great fun to wear! Fun fit! Cheerful colors!
Ok, this was a perfect stay at home pick. The material is silky and light, but not too see through. It was sort of like wearing a divided skirt. Cinched in at the waist, it obscured anything going on below the waist nicely. And I loved the bright colors.

Nice fabric, Comfy but not too flattering on my body type
Well, the nice thing about RTR is you can try things you normally wouldn't. I wanted to try out a dropped sleeve style like this and I wanted to try a jumpsuit both things I don't normally wear. I was hoping the shoulder straps would make a bra possible, really didn't for me, I ended up with my red bra straps showing. Also, the shoulder straps just didn't stay up. I was afraid that a jumpsuit would emphasize my belly, and it sure did. So pretty unflattering for me. On the positive -- wrinkle free, cooling (we have hit the hot weather where I am) and I thought the fabric felt and looked good.

Perfect stay at home top
Loved this top. Its primarily cotton jersey -- so essentially a big tee shirt with some eyelet trim. Maybe a touch too long for me, but it hit me pretty much exactly as shown on the model, so I can't really complain. This was a great top to wear.

These were fun to wear
these are made of a sort of technical fabric. So they came a little wrinkled, but overall these were fun pants to wear, definite cross between pants and a skirt. Total freedom of motion. They came all the way down to my feet, I have short legs. I really liked them, would have kept them longer but I wanted to try on some new stuff.

Very nice comfortable dress.
I really liked this dress. the arms were just a touch tight, once you got it on it was fine, but it would have been perfect if it had been a little looser. Easy to wear and move in.

This was just too lowcut for me. Just not flattering, maybe on someone younger/thinner.

Looks pretty much as pictured
The fabric is a sort of crepey fabric. I found it a little bit warm. For me, it was too much shirt. I wore it for a few hours and took it off, too hot, too much fabric in the way.

Coudn't wear this because of a quality issue but it was fun to try on. I went a size too much (british sizing) and it was a little big on me. Sort of sheer fabric.

Cuffs a bit awkward
in general, love this brand, and I thought the detail at the bottom of the pant would be fun, but it just looked awkward on me. It was basically a full length pant on me, if it had been cropped maybe different.

Oddly different from the identical burgundy blouse
I rented this in another color and LOVED it. Since I prefer this color to burgundy, I was really looking forward to wearing this. For whatever reason, the chest didn't button the same, I had a bit of a gap and it was harder to steam out the wrinkles so it didn't lay right.

Cute tie
I thought this had a higher cashmere content than it did, and was set to complain about it not being all that soft. However, since I see it was mainly wool, overall this was a comfy, not too warm, but warm enough sweater. The waist tie was a great detail, I really liked it.

Super cute print
This was a little long for someone who is roughly 5' 5". I ended up rolling up the waist band. It was also loose, however, since I sized up I can't complain about that part. The material was definitely a winter type material, but not too warm. Wore it with Vince Cashmere Sweater. Looked cute.

This was a comfortable, pretty maxi dress
When I tried it on, I found the high neck extremely uncomfortable. So when I came to wear it, i just turned it around and wore it backwards, unzipping the neck a little. This worked well, looked deliberate and I got loads of complements. I wore it with tapestry boots from a few seasons ago.

I wore this on a work trip and mainly liked it. Looked good.
The glittery texture in this blazer really made it special. I usually get a L, but this XL fit on the snug side, so be mindful of fit details. My biggest complaint was when I took it off to use as a blanket on the plane, the scratchy fabric was very uncomfortable. Wearing it, the lining kept the fabric from the skin. So don't wear if you will be snuggled up to someone.

Just love VB.
This was actually a size too big for me. But I still liked how it look with an ALC ruffled skirt on New years. Teh fabric is very heavy, so it drapes well. I just love all her designs. I don't love it as much as I did her side tie dress that was similarly designed, but I still liked wearing it.

the silkiest, most lovely fabric. Really loved how it fell. Multiple ruffles aren't usually my thing but I loved wearing it. I wore it with a Victoria Beckham white shirt and leggings for New years brunch, I really liked it, super comfortable.

This is a great weight for a knit pleated skirt. It hangs beautifully. I would have liked it more I think if it hadn't been so horizontal with the pattern.

Kept and wore this over and over
Tons of compliments every time I wore this. This is a magical cross between a sweater and blazer, but more blazer-y than sweater-ish. the fabric is a knit, very textural but hangs beautifully. The cut hugs your curves beautifully. It's warm, but not too warm, will work for temps in the 50s and 60s.

Nice silk shirt
Overall, nice shirt for work. I wore it to speak at a conference. This shirt didn't gap too badly at the chest, which was important to me, and the patten broke things up nicely. It was a little too fitted at the bottom, didn't fit over my hips the way I would like.

Cute asymmetrical cut.
I wore this as a dress over pants. It was snug fitting, I barely fit into the XL size so someone who wore a 14 or above would not care for this dress. Other than that, I liked it, I wore it at a conference, it was comfortable, and the material didn't wrinkle. (since I primarily use RTR on business trips I will always talk about whether or not it wrinkles.)

Looks very high-end, very fun to wear
First the quality of the vegan leather is really excellent. I bought some inexpensive faux leather pants thinking I could wear the two together and the quality difference was too obvious. The inside of the material is attractive and soft feeling, a nice faux suede. I used this as a sort of sweater one day and was able to throw it in my bag and the wrinkles fell out when I hung it up again. Fit was barely too small. If you normally wear a 12 and are busty think about sizing up to XL. I made it work but needed to wear a minimizer bra.

I tried to wear this with cargo pants for a take on loose over loose silhouette. Didn't really work. the tunic is very loose and long. On a short legged person, a little too long.

Nice length on the top
Tunic tops or long shirts don't always look good on me, this black top hit right at the hip bone. Was loose enough to cover any bumps or bulges while fitted enough to be professional. It has a subtle rick rack trim and cute arms, the boat neck was just wide enough not to show bra straps. the fabric was a little heavy for me, but other than that a really nice top.

Pretty, elegant dress wore it to a conference
The material on this dress is really lovely, very light and airy. There are solid satin stripes interspersed with the slightly sheer floral pattern. It has cute square white buttons and buttons all the way down the front. It comes with a little black slip to wear under, which you need. I felt it needed a belt, which mine didn't come with, so wore with a narrow black belt and black heels. Very comfortable, easy to pack, highly recommend
