This dress is perfection
So many compliments, it fit just right, with the slightest bit of stretch. Other reviews said the bottom liner might not stay down, but I was standing for most of the night and didn't have that problem. You may need a bra, because this dress doesn't provide any lift, but it's thick enough and not-too-low-cut that you could get away with no bra if you weren't worried about lift. The sequins made the dress more fun and just the right amount of sparkly, and didn't look weird in photos or in person. Agree with other reviews that this is too close to white (especially in dim lighting) to wear to a wedding, but an excellent choice for other occasions formal/semi-formal/cocktail attire. I am not very tall, but the length was still good and not a trip hazard because of the hemline. Just be careful going up and down stairs.

I wore this 3-4 times before returning it. It was light, flattering, perfect under a denim jacket on a cool evening.

Wore these for a girls weekends and they were perfect
The fit on these was perfect on my hourglass shape. During the weekend my friend wore them, who didn't have bottoms to match a top she wanted to wear to dinner with us, and even though she's shorter than me by about 4 inches, they fit her well also (just more like pants than culottes for her) . I wore them at least 3-4 times before returning them. Great item!

Light fabric, fun summer print, perfection
This dress fit beautifully, I wore it at least 3 times before returning it and still think I might buy it. It's a thick enough fabric that you don't have to worry about being see-through, but light enough to keep you cool on a hot day. I wore it out to a winery on a sunny, 100+ degree day, and sweat didn't show nor did I feel uncomfortable.

Just casual enough to be comfortable, but with a blazer could wear to work
Most jumpers / rompers fit me without a lot of hassle. This one was a little short in the torso and long in the legs. The fabric is thin, which is great on a hot day, but you have to beware what undergarments you wear.

These were very comfortable but kind of heavy. I didn't end up wearing them.
The fit I got was too big for me, but I didn't bother getting a smaller size. The way it's cut, if you have a bigger rear end and a smaller waist it won't work. This item falls into that category of "when they sized it up they just made all the dimensions bigger" instead of fitting it to a curvier body.

This is a very flattering, feminine piece for which I received lots of compliments
I wore this for a day at the winery. The thin fabric requires a bra, and it doesn't breathe very well, and then the back of the dress doesn't allow for a bra. In the end, this would have been better in weather under 100 degrees. I sweated off my sticky bra and ended up having to change. It was lovely while it lasted.

A light jacket/sweater that's more casual than photos show
This is comfortable but interesting, which is what I usually go for. I will wear it again before I return it. I wore it with a plain black dress to work and got compliments, then changed into a black maxi dress for dinner and a birthday party the same day. The jacket worked with both. It's kind of slouchy, and doesn't hold it's own shape. I think it would be better described as a cardigan than a blazer. The pattern is pretty wild in person, but as long as you wear muted other colors I don't think it's too loud. I didn't feel self-conscious in it.

Lots of compliments, cool fabric, great for travel
This little shirt is short enough to wear with a pencil skirt for work but long enough to wear with shorts for a hot weekend, and thin enough to keep you cool all the time. The back is pretty open, which might be a little revealing for some people at work, but I felt comfortable and, best of all, cool. The pattern is very pretty, and I might consider buying this item because I love it so much.

No bra necessary, fabric looks thick and sturdy while still being lightweight
I thought I could wear this to work, but it's a little much for work because the sleeve ruffles are bigger than they look on the RTR stock photo. I feel very large in a conference room/meeting wearing this dress. That said, it's perfect for wineries, shopping, and other weekending / vacation activities. I wore it for a family trip and wasn't worried about it being wrinkled or getting sweaty in it because it kept me cool. The only complaint is that the shoulder straps are much less substantial compared to the fabric of the dress and the off-shoulder elastic than they look in the photo. I loosened them and tucked them into the off-shoulder sleeves because they just kind of bunch up on your shoulder otherwise.

Lots of compliments, but wasn't worth the hassle of the straps.
I had to pin the straps and go braless in order to make this work, and even then it was uncomfortable, and you can't move in it because it has no stretch. It's garments like this one that make me think many designers don't design with actual WEARING in mind. Why would you make a no-stretch jumpsuit without adjustable straps? It's like it was designed for exactly one person, and won't fit anyone else.

Very, very thin fabric, no structure
I had to wear a slip with this, but I wasn't happy with it so I only wore it once. You'd have to have a deep plunge bra, but there's no getting around needing a slip. The material is so thin you can see right through it. It feels and looks kind of cheap, although the shape and print are both great ideas, this garment was poorly executed and feels like you ordered it for $5 from China.

Lightweight but sturdy fabric makes this an easy choice for work or weekend
The fit was loose but slim. Other reviewers said it was boxy, but I wouldn't say so, because the fabric is thin enough that it's comfortable.

Couldn't wear this, it was damaged
The elastic on the top (which is the only thing holding it up) was over-stretched and didn't do its job, rendering the garment impossible to wear.

Such a pretty and unique bag, large enough to fit anything you may need.
This bag gave me so much joy to carry it around with its colors and bright personality. The strap was the right length to wear cross-body, and the colors match most anything. However, it is pretty heavy on its own, and the big flap in the front makes it inconvenient for some uses - for example I traveled with it and fumbling with the giant front flap to dig for my ID while in line at TSA was a hassle. The brassy clips in the front also scratch very easily. This isn't a purse you can just toss around.

This dress is very flattering, and a great color
The dress doesn't stretch at all, so if it doesn't fit your waist or bust as-is, you're screwed. It fit me fine, and the bottom skirt is very flowy so no butt-fit problems there. If you get hot like I did wearing it out for lunch on a patio, you can unbutton the sleeves and roll them up. The material does get very wrinkly if you sweat at all.

People commented on my tiny, shiny bag, but it lacked a lot of desired functionality.
The purse strap is not adjustable, and it's very short. This would be an excellent fit for someone very petite with basically nothing to carry. You can fit a cell phone, a couple ID/credit cards, and a lipstick in the bag — but with those items you can't also carry a common car key fob. It's so small it's almost a child's bag. I might buy this for a tween if I had one in my life who deserved that kind of spoiling.

I got lots of compliments on it, but felt a bit self-conscious because of the low cut.
I wore this for two occasions — on a date and to a winery with friends — but would have worn it more if it didn't show off 'the ladies' so much. The fabric is not too thin, but it doesn't stretch and you must either wear very discreet underwear or none at all if you don't want to have to wear a slip or something to hide the lines. It's so low cut in the front, I couldn't wear my strapless bra with it. The fact that it has no stretch leaves you gapping in the chest and straps falling down if you slouch at all when sitting. If it was any smaller, it wouldn't have fit in the butt area.

Very flattering: Several coworkers asked me if I'd lost weight while I wore this dress.
This dress is stretchy, cool, a pretty pattern, and easy to match with a black blazer. There's nothing really special about this dress, though. Crew neck, basic hourglass-hugging fit. Not too tight, it's comfortable.

This jumper was so comfortable.
This fits excellently, and if you're not particularly large-chested, you probably don't even need a bra. It's loose and flowy, perfect for looking effortless and feeling cool on very hot summer days. I wore it for brunch, a cookout, to work with a denim jacket over, happy hour, and just for running errands. If the pattern was slightly more attractive (it's has a 'your grandma's old couch' kind of coloration) I would have purchased it!

I got lots of compliments on this dress, and it feels like comfy pajamas on.
Very stretchy, forgiving and flattering material, with an equally stretchy liner. It might be a little low cut if you are big-busted, but it was fine on me with a blazer for work, and no blazer for evening.

I tried it on at the store and brought it home, but never did wear it to work after all.
The fit and fabric are very comfortable. But it does run a little short. In the dressing room I thought I could make it work for wearing to the office, but I didn't end up thinking it was appropriate for work wear. Would have made a nice wedding guest dress, though.

I got lots of compliments on the bright color and flattering shape.
This is a heavy dress, so if you get hot and sweaty easily, not a good choice. On the plus side, the thick material hides bra and underwear lines so you don't need any undergarments for that purpose. I had ordered a medium and returned it for a small, because the medium was big in the chest and not very flattering. The small looked great in comparison, but the arms were pretty tight. I wouldn't have been able to carry anything or move very easily in this dress. Luckily I wore it for a graduation and a dinner.

Light and comfortable but short
This would work best on someone shorter or more petite. The combination of no-stretch material, long sleeves, and cut ending at mid- to upper thigh means I couldn't raise my arms in this dress without showing off too much. Still, I got a lot of compliments and it was very comfortable otherwise.
