REALLY Micro
I know micro bags are A Thing but literally what is the point of a purse if it doesn't hold a phone? If I were to take the case off my non-plus-size phone it can kind of be wedged in there, but that's obviously not a good solution. It's actually pretty deep so it can easily fit a lipstick, card case, and battery pack, but I just don't see the point of a decorative-only purse. It's pretty leather and well made so a shame it's poorly sized.

Warm and flattering
Actually really cute and the elastic on the sleeves prevents them from getting in the way. Note the neck is really snug.

Very fun, very short
Rented this as a backup so I didn't wear it, but I would-- it's very flattering, though it's absolutely the shortest dress I can dream of wearing, even with tights.

Very unflattering
I should have realized but this is truly the least flattering shirt ever made. I wanted something long and red to wear with Christmas-print leggings to a party and this did the trick, but I'm not sure it's not a maternity top. It also hit at exactly the widest part of my body. My friend said "at least you look like a red christmas tree?"

Very festive in person
The photo makes the colors look muddy but it's actually a really fun holiday top for work. If it were more discounted I would have bought it (which, it's 100% polyester-- there's no reason it should be that much. And be warned for ventilation purposes too).

Very pretty but REALLY short
I'm under 5'2 so I don't usually pay attention to dresses that look short on the model, but this is REALLY REALLY SHORT. I wore it with tights and it was just barely wearable for me; if you are any taller than me it will not be. Other than that it's a very cute, fun dress, though.

Gorgeous leather, awkward shape
It's a beautiful, well-made bag, but unless you're holding the handles closed it doesn't stay in this shape but rather pops into a cube (don't even try using the shoulder strap). It's not very easy to get into the center pocket either.

Need an updo
I knew these were huge but didn't appreciate they'd actually block my hair from being down-- you need either an updo/pixie or super long/thick hair to have these work.

Huge on top
The top is a full size too big in my usual size in this dress. I probably could have sized down, though the waist would be snug (which is never a problem I have).

Snug
I sized up after reading the reviews and this dress is still VERY form-fitting... I wore it as part of a Halloween costume and it was perfect for that but not something I'd be comfortable wearing to an actual event.

Meh
The sleeves are more puffed than the photo shows, and the length might have worked on a tall person for whom it was a mini but on a short person it's too modest. The color also isn't as rich as I would want.

You can't really tell from the photo but when I rented this for work I discovered it's see-through wherever there is detailing.

Eye-catching and easy fit
Perfect for a daytime wedding. A touch long for petites and you can tell it's been washed a lot; the dress has shrunk up but the lining hasn't.

Borderline work appropriate (they're slightly sheer and the elastic waist is pretty prominent) but so comfortable that I'm going with it.

Gorgeous dress--runs small and long
Size up in this dress-- one to two sizes larger than my usual size fit perfectly (except for length... RTR says they sent a petite but it was dragging on the ground even in high heels...) I'd otherwise highly recommend.

Made for some sort of gnome people
I was pleasantly surprised that this fit well in all of length, hips, and waist, but the top piece is so low it's completely unwearable-- not just for modestly reasons but for complying-with-Instagram-terms-and-conditions reasons if you get my drift. I think you'd have to be extremely both small-chested and short-waisted to make it work.

Different
Not actually as sheer as I was expecting-- tried to wear it over an American flag bikini for the fourth and it was entirely modest. Still got compliments, so I consider it a success.

Cute print; very curvy fit
For the first time literally ever in my life a dress that fit in the chest/ waist was a bit /big/ in the hips. I see what the other reviewers say about the print giving the appearance of a stomach bulge; I think the pockets don't help either. It's still a fun dress though. Note it's a touch long on me but not so long I didn't wear it.

Cut very pear-shaped
This is a gorgeous dress but cut somewhat small on top, so I had to size up, which meant the bottom was a little large-- I have literally never had that fit issue in a dress before. Still a very pretty and comfortable work dress.

Beautiful dress
This was sent as a back-up dress for me when the black version I ordered was disappointingly unavailable. Even if it weren't a little bridal, I had ordered the black in a 0P, and the 0R they sent might have looked ok with 4" heels, but I was sure I'd be tripping on the layers of tulle all night. Fit-wise, the 0 fit like a glove.

Pretty dress; awkward cut
I should have heeded a few other reviewer's warnings that it cuts up under your arm – I thought they just meant it was uncomfortable, but the result was really unflattering. What is otherwise a pretty dress is distracting with armpit flab. Otherwise it it fits pretty true to size; I ordered a zero and don't think I could've gone up a size. If your petite, the back will trail but since it's high-low it's not a problem walking.

Classic, easy choice
Nothing groundbreaking/ a little bridesmaidy but a nice red and a flattering cut for my backup dress (note I was one of at least 8 women wearing this dress at my event, 3 in the red, so this really should be a dress-of-last-resort, even though it's pretty). Note the petite still runs really long-- at 5'2 with 4" heels, it was still dragging on the floor.

Gorgeous, giant dress
This dress is absolutely beautify and easy to wear-- but it runs HUGE-- the waist should have been about 3" smaller on me. I wouldn't recommend for petite women.

Wore to a 1920s-themed black tie optional wedding
I felt kind of meh in this dress-- it fit well and was comfortable and flattering, but in pictures and in a crowded room it just looks like a LBD. I gave it four stars instead of three, though, because I actually got a ton of compliments on it, so maybe it's more fun that I'm giving it credit.

I got lots of compliments on this dress and the pockets made it so easy to wear. I sized up so I didn't look squished into my usual size with the cutouts.
