Disappointing
I was so excited to wear this dress on vacation but alas it was disappointing in a few ways. It came out of the suitcase very wrinkled and was difficult to steam in our hotel room. The waist tie doesn't stay right at your middle and drops almost immediately no matter how tight you tie it. I don't have a big bust but the fabric gaped uncomfortably.

Odd fit in bust area
The skirt is beautiful and full but the fit at the bust area is odd. It felt tight across and also didn't sit right proportionately (and I wouldn't say I have a big bust). Overall, I made it work and still enjoyed wearing the dress.

Loved the versatility of this classy dress
I wore this dress several times-- church with heels, girls night out with flats, a nice lunch date and for a business meeting. The gold accents are pretty and the knitted weight of the dress makes it feel high quality.

They feel like medium weight earrings. They lent a nice touch of subdued sparkle to my party outfit.

Yes, it's hard to figure out at first how to put on because of the built-in camisole but after that it's a breeze to wear. Classy.

Beautiful but ultimately painful
When I first put these stunning statement earrings on, I was pleasantly surprised how light they felt. Alas, by the time we had dinner at the wedding, I had to take them off to give my ears a rest because the clip-ons were so painful. Then I put them on again for the rest of the evening, but was happy to take them off finally upon returning home.

Loved more than I expected
This understated clutch turned out to pack quite a punch. I wore it to a formal event but could also see the raffia pair nicely with a more casual outfit. I plan on holding on to it for a while. The hand strap made it easy and comfortable to carry. The only caution is that you can't fill it with too many items, otherwise you will lose its slim profile.

Only so-so overall
The mesh fabric is fine enough that you can wear your usual underwear and it won't show through, but you can definitely feel the breeze through the fabric making this a spring/summer sweater not meant for warmth. I thought the wide solid -color cuffs and waistband dated the sweater and that is why I knocked off a couple of stars. Slightly boxy fit.

Versatile vacation top
I had to size up from my usual Veronica Beard size of 6 to 8 because the first top I received felt too tight all over, especially the waist. The soft denim worked well on vacation-- wore with slacks and shorts, no ironing. Loved the snap buttons.

Fun Sweater to Rent, Not Necessarily Buy
Renting this sweater versus purchasing it full price at the store is a perfect example of why I love RTR. I enjoyed wearing it a few times over the holidays and then returned it knowing it had a short shelf life because the trendy look is not a wardrobe staple.

Gorgeous festive color
I would definitely consider this a special event top. It's a beautiful satiny color. There's a little extra poof at the shoulders but I didn't think it looked that out of place on this top. I wish it were just a little bit longer in length but I wouldn't consider it cropped.

Can't Make Up My Mind
Definitely oversized. It somehow feels like I'm wearing an animal pelt when on and the fur reminds me of a gorilla costume! But there is something kind of chic about it, maybe not completely my taste but it did add a little something to everyday jeans.

Special Event Handbag
Plenty of room, classy handbag for dressy events. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that the chain strap is heavy and kept slipping off my shoulder as I walked. That being said, the chain strap does add a substantial pop of gold and shine to an outfit.

Flowy perfection
I wore this beautiful Misa dress to a graduation ceremony. I opted to wear a belt to cinch in my waist even more, but the elastic waist band already present on the dress would have been just fine alone, too. The dress has a matching slip which minimized any show through.

Waist runs small
Very pretty brown color with shades of mahogany. I had to size up to a size 8 in order to button at the waist and even then I wore the skirt higher on my waist than I usually do. I am a normal size 4 and needed to swap out for a larger size to wear this skirt. Fabric feels soft and supple. Slit is appropriate. Lots of compliments.
