Back half of skirt is completely sheer
The front of this dress is beautiful and very high quality. The back half of the skirt is completely sheer. Plan to wear a black slip if you rent this dress.

Made of shiny windbreaker material
Fit on these pants was fine, but they were made of a strange synthetic-feeling material that would have been better suited to a windbreaker or board shorts. Material was shiny and made a lot of noise as I walked. Not a great choice for the office.

Very flattering and fun to wear
I was nervous about ordering the XS since other reviewers had said that the band around the waist was tight. Fortunately it fit perfectly, and I found it to be very comfortable! The band hit right at my natural waist and created a very flattering silhouette. As another reviewer noted, the sleeves are a touch too short for my long arms, and I'd recommend using garment tape to ensure the buttons don't gap. I wore the dress with a slip to prevent issues with static cling. These small negatives didn't prevent this from being one of my favorite RTR dresses so far! I felt classy and confident in it, and I'd buy it if it was less expensive.

Weird tie and unflattering cut
This dress was fine. The 0 fit through the rib cage and the length was good. It hit me just below the knees. However, I couldn't figure out how to wear the tied scarf thing at the front of the dress in a way that made me feel confident. Tying the fabric left a gap through which people would have gotten a peak at my stomach (not super work appropriate). Also, the cut of the skirt and the placement of the pockets made my hips look much wider than usual. Sent it back without wearing.

Not great for long torsos
I saw some positive reviews from other tall ladies, so I was hopeful that this dress might work for me. Unfortunately, my torso was just too long and the part of the dress where my hips should have been was about 2 inches off the mark. Sadly had to return it. Ignoring the fact that I'm too tall for this, I found that it runs true to size. I'd sized up to a 4 based on other reviews and should have stuck with the 2. Plenty of room in the hips for pear shaped body types.

Runs very, very large
This is a nice, high quality dress but it was enormous vs. what I was expecting. I'm typically a 4 in dresses that are fitted through the hips, so I was nervous about ordering a 2 in this one. Much to my surprise it was actually too big in the hips, and the top was way way too big. Pretty sure the 0 would have been too big too. Sent this one back without wearing it. Might work better for a bustier/hourglass figure, but size down!

Perfect sweater
Absolutely love this sweater. I have a longer torso, but this sweater was just the right length for me in the body and the sleeves. I didn't find the material to be itchy or stiff, and the lace sleeves added just the right amount of interest without being "too much".

Perfect blue, beautifully tailored
This dress felt extremely high quality, and the blue was stunning. As a very tall woman it can be tough to find fitted dresses that work, but this fit like a glove. The length fell about an inch below my knees, and the twirl in the skirt made it fun to wear. Two minor issues. First, the seams on the bust were a bit awkward, so I felt more comfortable wearing this with a blazer while at work. Second, I have scrawny arms, but the arm holes were still a bit small and started to dig in after long hours of wear. Regardless, I think I would still rent again.

Great Color!
I really liked this top. The color was fun (looked red in some light and more orange in others). The sleeves were long enough, which is often a struggle for me, and the length of the shirt itself worked well with mid rise pants. I'm typically a 2 and am very glad I went with the XS as this is a loose fitting blouse.

Comfy but a little too loose
Ok dress, but I found it to be a little too loose, especially in the stomach area. Considered sending it back to size down but guessed the XS would be too tight in the hips. The dress was also pilling across the stomach and looked a bit worn. Still wore it to work twice, but probably would not rent again.

Lovely Floral Pattern & Comfy Fit
I loved this dress! The pattern was really beautiful and the fit worked well for me. Great dress for tall ladies. The sleeves were a perfect length for my fairly long arms, the elastic for the waist fell at my natural waist without leaving too much poof in the top of the dress, and the hem fell just below my knees. Got lots of compliments and would certainly rent again (or just buy it). I did find this dress to be quite staticky off the hanger, but wearing it with a slip completely solved that problem.
