Cute, but more of a crop top
This was a cute, relaxed top that will work for vacation; it is comfy but still polished. It is more of a cropped top, however; not ridiculously short, but if you wear low rise bottoms, your midriff will be exposed. That's not necessarily a problem - it's just something to be aware about!

Cute - but beware large arm holes!
This is a cute top to change things up a bit. It definitely runs big, so order a size down, but it looks nice and polished. You will need to wear something under it, though - if you look closely at the picture, you'll notice the armholes go down to about mid torso!

A lot of potential, but the the back is too baggy
This dress was very cute, but the back was too baggy. I couldn't tell if the issue was the elastic was pulled out or if the cut itself was too baggy, but the back drooped so much that it looked deflated. I think if you are on the taller side and consider ordering a size down, this dress would be a real winner.

Better suited for someone taller
I wanted to love this dress! It fit very well and was incredibly comfortable to wear. I am curvier so needed to order a larger size, so while it fit, the dress just hit me in awkward places and didn't look quite right. I think if you are on the taller side, you would have something cute to wear on vacation or to a summer party. But for petite people with pear shapes, you may want to look elsewhere!

Runs small
This was super cute and well constructed, but just a tad too small. The fabric is comfy and stretches, which is a plus, so I was able to get it on, but once it was on, it just hugged in all of the wrong spots. I was so bummed - it had so much potential!

Runs small for Draper James
I was so sad this didn't fit! I've worn several Draper James dresses with great success, but I think there must have been something about the cut of this one that made it just too tight. It was super cute - I just recommend getting it a size up from your normal Draper James size.

Flattering and comfortable!
This dress was the real deal! I wore it to work, but it would also work well at a summer party, a more casual wedding, or an after work cocktail party. The cut is flattering, the fabric is soft, and it conceals problem areas without looking like a tent. I loved it so much, I may rent it again!

Odd fit, but workable with a camisole
I really, REALLY wanted to love this dress, because the fabric was so comfortable, the style was cute, and I loved the pattern, but unfortunately, I only wore it once. I wish I could put my finger on the problem. The top was too loose, so I wore it with a camisole - not a deal breaker, as I often wear camisoles. But even though I could easily tie all the ties in the wrap part of the dress, the bottom was somehow on the small side. The flaps of the skirt easily flopped open when I sat down, so I had to be pretty conscientious about making sure everything was closed and concealed whenever I sat down. I'm not sure if the issue here is the dress is oddly cut, or if I needed a bigger bust or a smaller bottom or both, but I was so bummed out this wasn't a bigger hit.

Cute casual top to change things up!
Another winner from Draper James! This shirt was so cute and fit so well. I needed something cute for a casual children's party, and this really fit the bill. It is true to size and very flattering. The sleeves are a little extra, but honestly, if you're self-conscious about your arms, the sleeves actually draw attention away from them.

Perfect summer dress!
This dress is a wonderful addition for summer parties or a casual Friday at work. The material is a little starchier - but that's not a bad thing. It's still super comfortable and holds its shape well, and it doesn't wrinkle. The cut is just great; very flattering for curvier women, and it provides great coverage.

Versatile top for work or casual events!
I'm in love! This top is so cute; it provides a nice punch of color under a suit, or it can stand on its own with a pair of denim or white jeans. It fits true to size; it's one of those unique tops where it manages to look tailored, but is loose enough that it covers up any post-partum lumps or bumps. The fabric itself also feels very silky and soft. I definitely recommend wearing it with a camisole underneath, but that didn't take away from the top for me. If necessary, it would be super easy to breastfeed or pump in this top, because there's a hidden button in the front you can pop open for easy access. I gave it four stars only because it does ride up a little bit, but I didn't think it was that noticeable or made that big of a difference.

Not flattering for curvier silhouettes
I really wish I could have worn this dress! Unfortunately, it runs on the small side. It is definitely cut to hug the body, so I'm not sure larger size would have helped; I have a larger, post-partum midsection, and the dress really clung to that and my bottom once I squeezed into it. I think if you have a flatter stomach or wear shapewear and size up, you'll be fine!

The absolute most perfect top!
I seriously cannot love this top more. It is so cute - extremely comfortable, covers up some post-baby bumpy parts in a flattering way while still having a tailored look, a cool cut out in the back that looks interesting and keeps you cool in summer, but you can still wear a normal bra with it - truly, this top has it all! I wore it to work. It works well under a suit or as a top on its own. You could also dress it down with a pair of capris or crisp white jeans. Overall, this top is an absolute favorite. It's going to be tough to send this one back!

Perfect for a casual work day or fun summer event.
I LOVED this super versatile dress; I got a ton of compliments on it! It works for casual Friday or really most summer events; you can really dress it up or down with the right shoes and accessories. The coverage is great but it still looks very chic, and the fabric is very comfortable. The top half was a little bit big, but I still have a postpartum baby bump, and I loved that I still felt super cute in this dress without making my little bump obvious. For that, I will happily tolerate a little extra space in the top. I can't recommend this dress enough!

Perfect change up for a summer event!
This was such a cute addition for the summer BBQ circuit! If you're like me and a tad self conscious about your arms, this top is a winner - it provides full coverage but has a ton of eyelets that both look cute (without being obvious) and keep you cool. It also is a wrap style but isn't complicated to put on - just tie the sash and go! If your office has a jeans day or casual Friday set up, this top would work well for that, too. This did fall a touch short on me (not cropped, but *right* at the top of my hips), so I wore a black camisole underneath to ensure coverage; it still looked super cute. Also, in case you, like me, miss it, there's a zipper on the side that can help you get it on and still look fitted once it's on, but it's incredibly well-hidden so no one can see the zipper once the top is on.

A great piece for transitioning from work to a social event.
I am big fan of this top! It is very comfortable and flattering to a curvier shape. It's truly a multipurpose top - you could wear it to work on its own or under a suit, dress it up for drinks afterwards, or even wear it with jeans to a more casual event. I took off a star because there was a little bit of extra fabric that gaped in the back, but I would still order this true to size because the waist fits perfectly, so ordering a size down would make the top unwearable. I also wore a camisole underneath because my bust didn't quite fill out the front (which might explain the extra fabric issue in the back) - personally, not a deal breaker for me, because I thought it looked cute with the camisole, but it's just something to be aware of when you order.

A comfortable way to wear a statement piece to work!
I love this top, far more than I expected! It's very flattering on a curvier body, and it works incredibly well under a suit and by itself, if you need to remove your blazer. It's all incredibly comfy while still looking very stylish. An absolute win!

Truly a cropped top!
I was so bummed I wan't able to wear this! It is cute, but like the other reviews warned, it is truly a cropped top, so I ordered a size up because I wanted it to fit more like a cardigan. Unfortunately, even in a size up, it hit right at my belly, which really accentuated the post-baby bump I didn't want to highlight! I think this top would be very cute if you have a flat stomach or abs; otherwise, just be forewarned that ordering a size up doesn't change the fact that it's a crop top!

I felt properly attired for a formal affair, with a twist!
I absolutely loved this dress. I wore it to a formal wedding, and it was both perfectly black-tie appropriate but also a little different at the same time. My review is a little particular, because I wore this dress right after having a baby, so needless to say, my body shape was a little out of the norm for me! I met with a RTR stylist, who was so incredibly helpful (a service I would wholeheartedly recommend!), and we selected this dress. It was a great choice. I will say that I had to dress to fit my belly bump, but that meant the top part wasn't quite filled out, so I needed to use double sided tape to keep everything tucked in, as it were. With that said, I would definitely recommend this dress as an option for pregnant or postpartum mamas, but you may need to be mindful about adjusting the top after you accommodate your bump!
