Cute maternity jeans
I'm 18 weeks pregnant, usually a size 4 or 27. I got these in a 28, and while they're comfortable, they're definitely too big. Really cute jeans though. Like how they're cut to go under the belly.

Too tight in the waist!
I'm always a true 4, sometimes 2. This was too tight in the waist but loose up top. Couldn't breathe!

It's okay.
Fit is kind of large. Not sure how you could wear this without a shirt underneath. It's really low cut. Slit on leg is kind of high but not terrible. Nice work dress but I wasn't wow'd. Beautiful material and quality made though.
Plaid Belted Midi Dress

Not for longer torso gals.
Soft lining, thick fabric, making it very comfortable. Everything else fit true to size. However, for longer torso / taller gals, the belted waistline hits below the bust, creating an almost empire style waistline. It would make a great maternity dress but I don't think the waistline is very flattering otherwise, at least not for me.

Loved these. Comfortable and great fit.
I am between a 2 and a 4 and the 27 fit perfectly. Yes, they're thick denim but I loved them, especially the high waist. Lots of compliments.

Adorable and comfortable romper!
Loved this romper. The length was great for my height (5'7")--sometimes rompers are too short and this was perfect. The fabric is pretty thin, FYI. I wore nude colored undergarments because of it being a bit see-through. Very pretty, lady-like, and comfortable. Great color too. Lots of compliments.

So, so small.
Pretty skirt although fabric thinner than expected. Runs really small. I'm always between a 2 and 4, and in this, I would have needed a 6 or even an 8. I wore it but left top button unbuttoned and rolled down with sweater over top.

Looks kinda maternity without the tie belt.
In review photos, it looks like this came with a matching belt. Mine did not. Looks pretty shapeless and blah (and a bit maternity) without the belt. I tried one of my belts and it looks too cinched.

Loved it. So classy, thick, and comfortable.
Yes, it runs large so you'll need to size down. However, throw on some faux leather leggings or skinny black pants along with a black cami and heels, and you've got a great high fashion work outfit. Pair with skinny jeans and heels or black booties for another great casual look. Loved the pockets and thick fabric. I'd buy it if it weren't so $$.

Cute dress, fits small
I agree with other reviewers that this dress fits small, especially around the waist and shoulders. I am a solid 4, sometimes 2 in most anything, and this felt tight. I could still wear it but it just wasn't especially comfortable. Otherwise, it is a cute dress.

Should have gotten the small
Pretty color and material. I got the medium out of concern of length (I have a long torso) and it was big, boxy, and shapeless. Small would have been better.

Stylish, lightweight blazer
I know others have said this blazer is flimsy or poorly made. I disagree. Yes, it is thin and not really a "blazer" in the truest sense, but I like the lightweight, soft feel to this fabric. And I still think it's work appropriate. I took off a star because while I think it's cute, it's not *wow*.

Great top but nothing special
This is a flattering top to wear to work. I don't understand the head hole complaints as mine had a zipper but maybe RTR added zippers after the complaints. Cute, versatile top but I wouldn't say it was a wow worthy of a rental.

Too short for this late 30s mama
Booty cheeks nearly hanging out. Didn't feel comfortable in it. May be okay if sleeves stayed down to pull down the shorts to an appropriate length. However, the sleeves just ride up, as do the shorts. I have a long torso though.

Adorable yet professional top
Loved this top. Very cute yet professional for work. It's kind of cropped but I work a black tank underneath tucked into pants and it was fine. Really like the elastic at the bottom that created a tailored "tucked in" look without it actually being tucked in.

Lightweight, versatile, kind of blah
You could wear this with jeans or to work. Kind of unimpressive though. Nice fabric, cute pattern.

Too form fitting for work
I tried to like this given the great reviews. However, I just felt like it was too form fitting to wear to work in the bust and waist. Perhaps a medium would be more comfortable.

Great skirt
Really cute and comfortable skirt. Love the pockets. I did find it a bit snug at the waist but i think would be too loose if sized up.

Cute, comfy, versatile. And pockets!
All skirts should be culottes. These are so adorable and comfortable. Great for work (wore with black blazer or cardigan / heels) or casual (ditched the blazer, wore with black flip flops). Runs small because of tight high waist. I almost always a 4, and the 6 in these were perfect (albeit a smidge tight when seated)

Nice top.
Great pattern. Love the collar although it was kind of difficult to zip up once on. Frankly, I didn't find it too impressive when considering it's retail price. Would be good for someone in early stages of pregnancy

Comfortable and classy
Loved this dress although my seven year old daughter asked me why I was dressed like a pilgrim. Very comfortable yet elegant. Loved the sleeves. Perfect for work or after work drinks.

Amazing fabric, so chic and simple
This is such a versatile cardigan. It could easily transition from work pants to jeans. Pictures don't do it justice. The fabric just feels expensive. So cozy and comfortable but yet tailored and chic.

If you want a giant, flat mom-butt, these are your pants.
Meh. Not flattering. Tight at the hips. Size up.

LOVE. Such a beautiful dress. Tons of compliments.
I'll get this out of the way: yes, the seams inside are itchy. I wore a thin long-sleeved t-shirt and black tights underneath, and it was fine. So beautiful and classy. Awesome, comfortable dress for work or special occasions. I want to buy it!

Such a fun, different piece. Great feel and style.
Loved everything about this sweater. Great, rich-feeling fabric. Beautiful color. Typical turtleneck with a twist.

Great versatile jacket, a bit short and snug
Wore this jacket both to work and out for date night. It's a bit tight at the sleeves and the wrists, so tough to wear long sleeve under it--definitely wear short sleeved. It's also a bit short at the torso. Suggest sizing up. Love the soft fabric, felt sweater-like. Beautifully versatile but hip.

Great lightweight jacket for trip to Disney in January!
Loved the versatility and color of this jacket. Lots of pockets for traveling. Usually wear size 4 but rented 6 to wear over sweaters. Perfect fit, albeit a bit loose. Note it is really lightweight so not good for colder weather but perfect for warm weather with cooler nights.

Beautiful dress but thin fabric
Beautiful pattern and elongating style (better for taller people). However, despite it being a long, long-sleeved dress, the very thin fabric made it more appropriate for a warm spring or fall. Definitely not 20 degree Maryland winter! Fits true to size. Sleeves a bit tight-fitting but not uncomfortably so.

Hot.
This fits well. The 4 worked perfectly; I think it's pretty true to size. Honestly, a long would have been better, but then the back would have been dragging (it's shorter in the front than the back). This dress is very comfortable, and is elegantly hot.

definitely short for the tall girls
Cute dress, but for a 34-year-old 5'7" woman, it was just way too short. I usually wear a 4 in just about anything, but this was definitely better fitting in a 2.

Very elegant! Got many compliments!
The zipper kind of bunches a bit in the back. I think it fits better by going one size down.

Beautiful color and fabric, but not "wow"
This was my back-up dress. It was very pretty, but I agree with other commenters -- it runs large.
