Stylish, on trend and easy
Subtle but very of the moment. Size up if you're over a C cup

Stylish comfortable culottes to dress up or down
Love them so much I bought them - which did demonstrate to me there is not much difference in the size 6 vs the 8. They're forgiving in the hips and stomach so if you have a small west you might want to size down. Wore with a t shirt, denim jacket and sneakers for sight seeing and with a blouse tucked in and heels for work on a business trip the next day. Super adaptable and easy to wear. Fabric is thick but not too heavy - wouldn't wear on the hottest of days but fine year round otherwise.

Easy, flattering shirt dress
Pretty pattern and lovely silk fabric as is expected from Equipment. It gapped when trying to button over my large chest so I had to leave an extra button undone - warning for the well endowed.

Flattering and unusual
Beautiful fabric and fit. It works worn forward or backward. I got tons of compliments (and I work in fashion, so people are very discerning!) The fabric is quite structured - this plus the shape of the dress might overwhelm someone more petite, but for a curvy 5'6" this is a big winner
Color Swatch Zip Front Dress

Weird combo of shapely and shapeless
The quality of the dress is beautiful and it hugs curves well. But it did nothing to flatter my chest and the mid length was oddly conservative. My husband described it as a "sequined trash bag" - not the look I was going for. I didn't wear it. I would advise those with larger busts to proceed with caution.

Perfect 80s party dress!
Great color with fun movement and layers. Not as short as it looks on the model but some layers are shorter than others. Good secure strapless fit.

Pretty fabric, runs a little large
The skirt is quite full and the shape felt a little young for me. I returned wig out wearing
Citrus Flare Dress

Beautiful fabric, color and shape-unique and great for dancing
Beautiful color blocking with the blue and black made this flattering and unexpected. The fabric is substantial and the cut of the skirt means it moves elegantly. Also, pockets! I tried on the 6 which was a pretty close fit to the 8. Both were quite fitted through the bodice. If you have broad shoulders/a big chest, go with the bigger size
Block Party Gown

Backup size since my original order was unavailable last minute. Too big.
Waist was ok but top was baggy. Length was good - short back and long front meant dancing would be fine. It's a lot of pattern but different.

I couldn't use either dress RTR sent- they had warehouse problems and cancelled my dress last minute
This was a backup dress that RTR sent on spec since my original drea was not available last minute. I liked it more than I thought I would - it is more of a blue violet than the purple it appears in the site, and fit was good. But it was way too long to dance in and I feared I would trip on it, and there was too much material in the back at the top so it didn't sit right in back. Since neither one worked I'm glad I had backup from my own closet.
