Meh
Not my favorite. It was abaolutely a plunging neckline and definitely made for someone who has a bigger bust than I do. It was flowy but didn't quite fit me right. This was my first try at a true wrap skirt and I can't say I was too impressed, but maybe I got the wrong size?

Flowy and Fun!
I loved this skirt. Flowy, the perfect length, lovely. I was surprised that the lining was only half and didn't run the length of the skirt, but I got over it as soon as I got my first compliment of the day. Also. This skirt is compliment city. Gorgeous and unique, it's just fun.

Fun, but super short
Loved the look of this and the tie, but it was so short, there was no way I was going to go without leggings. Cute, though, and perfect for a cool spring day.

cute!
I wore this on a flight to NYC and then around the city all day. I felt suuuper fashionable. My only thing is that I wish I had ordered the size down. The neck fits well, but the overall fit was large. I bet if I had ordered the right size, it would have been fine!

Odd fitting
I have recently found a love of jumpsuits. This one, however cute it may be, fit my body in a very odd way. The hips and legs fit perfectly, but the top was so large, I ended up tying the straps into bows (which actually looked kinda cute). Even with the tightened straps, the top was still ill-fitting. I did receive a ton of compliments, but if it had fit better, I would have felt better. Onto the next jumpsuit adventure!

WHY DIDN'T I TAKE A PICTURE?!?
I had never tried a jumpsuit before and O.M.G. I am obsessed. I contemplated never returning it. I absolutely LOVED this jumpsuit and I can't believe I didn't take a picture. I ended up wearing it twice that weekend and continuously received compliments. RTR, why can't I buy things directly from you? :) #willrentagain

Wow. Gap
I should have listened to all the reviews. This dress, although adorable, is not meant for a size 10 girl. Wow. Gap. Even if I had pinned it, there's no way I would have been comfortable going out in that. But hey, the top fit!

fun and funky!
I ended up wearing the 12 because the 10's lining was WAY too short. This was such a fun dress to wear :) At the point of wearing, I was wearing a 10 and about 180lbs.

preeeeetty!
I didn't end up wearing these for the wedding as they didn't 100% match my dress, but they're fun. As I don't normally wear dangly earrings, I found these a little heavy. But they are gorgeous and I wish I could have worn them for a different event.

These were great. I'm not usually one for dangly earrings, but these weren't heavy at all, didn't pull, and didn't catch on anything! I would 100% buy them if I could!

Should have ordered a size down.
At the time I ordered this dress, I was a solid 10... and the 10 was sold out. So I ordered an 8 with a backup 12. I ended up wearing the 12. The heavy fabric gave me really big hips and the shoulder straps were huge - I pinned them like lots of the reviews suggested. I think it would have been a better fit if I'd been able to order the 10. I still got lots of compliments throughout the evening and the dress is warm. Paired with thermal tights and a sweater, I was more than prepared for the subzero temperatures we experienced on NYE 2017.

Wedding Dance Party!
I wore this to a fall wedding and absolutely felt like a million bucks. The shoulders were a little tight, but I was still able to lift my arms and boogie on the dance floor. As the other reviews say, there isn't much give in the waist, but that's okay! I would definitely rent this one again. I LOVED it. Or, I may try to find it online so I can own it myself... :) At the time of wearing, I was between an 8 and a 10, but probably much closer to a 10 (it was the day after Thanksgiving, after all).

Wednesday Night Out
I wore this out on a random Wednesday with some friends. Let me tell you, SO soft. I've always wanted to try this look and I had the opportunity to order this as a "free third item." I'm convinced I need something similar in my everyday closet. 10/10 would recommend!

Turkey Day Diva!
I loved this skirt. It was sexy, fun, and I got compliments from even the persnickety-ist of family members. I was a little worried about the length of the skirt, thinking that it would hit me at an unflattering length, but this was not the case. I think it helps that I'm almost 5'9". Also, at the time of wearing, I was between an 8 and a 10 and this fit me perfectly. I'm going to look for something similar to this for my permanent collection!

Great, but I should have sized down
I'm right in between an 8 and a 10 right now, which makes life hard. I went with the 10, which fit(ish) in the hips, but was way too big at my waist. I bet the 8 would have been perfect. Aside from the fit and my own miscalculation, I love the pattern and the fabric and would definitely wear this again!

Maybe my favorite dress...ever
This dress was absolutely perfect for Easter. I felt like a million bucks and got compliments all morning long! I do agree with the itchiness on the seams, but I wore a small, tight t-shirt underneath and was fine. I didn't find the arms too itchy, just the armpits and side-seams. I am going to keep an eye out for this dress when it goes on sale, I would definitely wear it again. I recently lost weight and am in between an 8 and 10 right now. I did order the 10 as a backup but didn't even try it on. I think I could have also fit into the 6, but the 8 was perfect, with the addition of the tee underneath.

This is elegant
I absolutely loved this skirt and would have kept it in a heartbeat. I did find that it ran small, so I was glad I had ordered my normal size and then one up. It cinches at the waist (obviously), but just flows from there, so it just fit perfectly.

Gotta love wrap dresses :)
Great fit! I didn't end up buttoning the inside of the dress since I was hustling and bustling around, hosting. Instead, just tied it tight. It worked well.

Just a fun night out :)
I was warned that this dress had very little stretch and it had absolutely NO stretch. It was beautiful and a great color, but I didn't end up wearing it because the skintight look is not a good one on me :)

Perfect fit!
As my first RTR experience, I can say that without a doubt I will be using them regularly! I received compliments on this dress all night long and was SO happy with the turnout. As my co-chair and I were on stage, I definitely felt like a million bucks. This dress was very long, and my heels were very necessary. However, the length did help me swish around the dance floor after the event. The only con I had with this dress was that the lace rubbed my arms raw. However, this did not happen during the event...only after dancing for a couple hours. So that may be indicative of my mad dance skills rather than the dress. All in all, I would have loved to keep this dress!
