Light weight and very low v-neck. It was a cropped length which added to the boxy fit.

Heavy & baggy
RTR really needs to offer petite coats! This is very heavy weight but only two buttons so I’m not sure how useful it would be in cold weather.

This is very warm but very baggy and the sleeves came down to mid-thigh, even with the turn up that is stitched in place…

Just okay
Very loose, flowing, and very light weight fabric. Without the waist ties, it would have been like wearing a parachute.

Very comfortable, heavy cotton. It’s baggy through the leg and finally the right length for a petite inner leg!

Weirdly too small & too big
This top managed to be too small in the armpits but way too big everywhere else. Even for a poofy blouse, this is too much fabric. It’s a med-weight cotton so it doesn’t even do poof very well.

beautiful dress, well made, but I couldn’t do up the back zip by myself. Will try a size 10 next time.

Magnolia Midi Dress

Heavy and scratchy
The fabric is very uncomfortable, it’s heavy, the neckline is much more scooped - almost off the shoulder - but the arms are tight.

Too long
The fit was fine but way too long overall and especially in the torso. I had to fold over 3” of fabric and then the zipper bunched and looked silly.

Wide Leg Linen Blend Trouser
Club Monaco

Waaay too long
I selected this because it said the inseam was 28.5”. The length from waist to hem was 42” though, which meant the fabric pooled for miles around my ankles.

Heavy
Despite the short sleeves, this is a very heavy cotton sweater. The rolled neck is three layers and additional weight on the collarbone; the fit sleeves are tight and inflexible around the biceps. Length and color are as described.
