God I loved this dress
I felt like a queen and also very artistic and stylish in this very unique dress. Please don't belt it! Just wear your tallest heels and walk around like the gorgeous creature you are.

Anaisa Maxi Dress
Roksanda
Size Worn: 8R
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 7"
Weight: 122lbs
Bust: 32D
Sexy, but tight in the shoulders and across the chest
Size up in this dress to accommodate a normal size torso. It is narrow in a way that exposes the sideboob/armpit area. If you have any self consciousness about that area, you will want to pull the top wider all night, which doesn't work. It's so stretchy and clingy though that one size up might be perfect.

Hourglass dress of your dreams
This dress is a showstopper. You will want to be able to fill it out with an ample bosom because it will awkwardly gape if not. I used nude-colored body tape to hoist everyone into place (this might not be necessary if you, unlike me, didn't nurse offspring for seven years). The pictures on the model don't do it justice. If you have a true hourglass figure, you're going to love this. I'm 5'7 and 123lbs, and a size small was snug. The male friends I was out with thought it was a $4000 dress and when I told them that it was RTR they offered to buy it for me. (Likely in jest, but you get the picture.) This dress is everything.

Worked well at an overnight music festival in pouring rain
This is a sexy and fun choice if you are ever camping overnight but also needing to dance outside in cold or rainy weather. Everyone else had to hide in their tents or wear ponchos made from trash bags once the surprise torrential downpour started. Or for skiing, I think it's also good for that!

Very sexy and cool dress - a bit more roomy in the hips
This dress is an amazing color with a cool and unique neckline. I would say consider it if you are curvy in the hips/rear. I couldn't fill out that portion in the 36. I'm 5'6 123lbs hourglass.

Odd clasp in the front
Gorgeous color, lovely material, strange fit - very loose. I guess it's meant to be worn open for a very casual look. I wanted something a little more sharp.

Much too big in the waist
Not sure if these were stretched out or what, but the 4r felt like a 6 or even 8 to me. I'd size down considerably. I have a 27 inch waist and the 4r did not come close to cinching it.

This sweater is very very pretty, but it did not sit correctly across my shoulders. This would be a great sweater for someone with narrow shoulders.

Please let me have this
This jumpsuit is such a cool green color, which works great with my olive skin. It's trendy and I feel powerful in it. I'd love to keep it, but even with the Unlimited discount, it's still $400. You can wear this to brunch with pretty sandals, or wear it to a protest with high tops and mask. It's everything!

Gorgeous print, lovely, forgiving silhouette
God I love this dress. I had to send it back because it was a little too big, otherwise I would have bought it. Even a little big, I still felt Hollywood 40s glamorous while wearing it around Napa a couple of weeks ago. It's truly an if-I-can-only-have-five-dresses-forever-I'll-need-this-one please kind of dress.

Edgy pattern, curve-hugging and glamorous
Like all of this designer's dresses, you step into it and shimmy it on. There is no zipper, just a clinging, sexy fit that feels very siren-ish. This is a great call for hourglass figures (even those who haven't been hitting the gym very hard lately). I loved it and so did my BF.

Tickets to a Psychedelic Black Tie Ball? Here's your dress...
I was flooded with compliments on this dress from some incredibly stylish Bay Area creative types. The material is gorgeous, the silhouette is supremely flattering. It feels very chic and well-made. It's kind of an "out on a limb" type of choice, but it does not disappoint. Runs a wee bit large - I could have worn a 2 and I never wear a 2.

This is a pretty bag but it wasn't for me
The bag is extremely structured and the leather is beautiful, if a little more orange than I'd like. I didn't end up wearing it. It just felt too much somehow - it didn't flow with any of my outfits.

Pretty dress in a gorgeous color
The thing I don't love is the fabric - it's synthetic, which means it doesn't breathe and it's hard to keep it smelling fresh. Silk would be so much better.

Interesting sweater but don't size up
This is a pretty sweater, but you'll swim in it if you err on the side of ordering up. On this one I'd say go for a snug fit to show off it's cool ruffle features.

sort of boxy and strange
This jacket looked amazing in the photos but I found the fit awkward. It is so asymmetrical that you can't wear it open - there's way too much material on one side. Snapped up it seems very large around the chest area. Definitely size down if you order it.

fake pockets, smdh
These navy pants seem well-constructed with nice material and a nice color. There is a black stripe that runs down the side. But honestly, I think there is a special place in hell for people who put fake pockets on women's clothing. Those zippers on the front of the pants are functional, yet there is no pocket underneath. Women need pockets, people. Don't fake us out.

You can have this back when I'm dead.
I want to live in this dress all winter, please. It's flattering, sexy, but also work-safe with the high neck line. I'm 5'7 and 130lbs of hourglass curves ATM, and I'm wearing the medium, which gives a nice silhouette without being too tight. I'm used to being closer to 120lbs, but I still feel confident and attractive in this dress.

This is not terribly flattering and the pattern/material is sort of muted and blah. Normally, I love this designer, but this top was definitely a miss.

I ordered the 8 and it was too tight! Normally I'm a size 4 US. The UK size equivalent is not an 8 - I could get it on, but it was suuuper tight, even with spanx. Very cute, colorful dress with a beautiful cut.

I wore this with suede Rag and Bone ankle boots and grey tights. I felt polished and stylish.
This is a heavy, navy fabric that fell beautifully. The dress was clean and new feeling. I wore it to a law firm reunion and it made me feel confident and happy. The hemline is short, but because the dress is neither tight nor revealing, I didn't feel inappropriate. It is a perfect classy/sexy.

This purse is not ideal - the quality is great and the materials are good, but it doesn't quite work
I was looking for a purse to function also as a place to stash my 13inch macbook air. This bag is too small for that. Also the strap is really short, so the bag stays under your arm or juts out behind your armpit.
