Cozy and fun
Loved everything about this sweater. The fabric is soft; great style; great condition (no pilling or stretching). Warm and soft. The turtleneck has room to breath but not too loose. It is a perfect winter sweater. I bought it.

Very very warm
This is a well made dress. Very substantial knit. Color was a little too pale on me. It is quite subtle. The dress looks expensive. I enjoyed wearing it once but did not fall in love.

Too light for winter
I liked the design and the cut of these pants. Great color and style. They even fit me. I am petite and curvy, and these pants work. I could not wear them in NYC in the winter. Skin is showing with short boots and loafers, and they did not look great with tall boots. I might rent in the spring.

Such perfect pair of jeans
Citizens of Humanity is a no brainer for my body type (petite pear). Any pair i try fits, so i just stick with them. The fabric is deep black. Excellent condition. Super comfortable. The label says it has minimum stretch but i don't miss it.

Softest merino ever
The fabric on this sweater is the softest merino wool. Which matters for a turtleneck as i don't like the itchy kind. Excellent luster and sheen. Deep rich black. The cut is a little awkward. I am 5'4" and even on me the sides are kinda short. Definitely need a cami unless you are comfortable with skin showing. Also, the handkerchief hem may get into things if you are not careful. One of those sweaters that are great for standing, walking and sitting. Not for serving a meal :)

Bright white and awesome
These jeans fit me perfectly. A little stretch. Perfectly white. Good fabric weight, not too thin and not too thick, so they can travel from summer to winter. Lots of compliments.

Perfect winter sweater. Feels like a hug, soft and warm. The M fits just right, and the colors and texture are rich.

Beautiful pants for a taller person
I am 5'4" and the legs were too long for me. The fabric is good quality, does not wrinkle too much and little stretch. The cut is ok for a curvy bottom, like mine.

Soft and bright
Amazingly soft fabric on this turtleneck. I did not want to take it off. Vibrant colors and excellent condition. I paired it with Armani pants for a nice corporate look.

Sexy date dresss
I enjoyed wearing this dress. It is sexy and demure. The velvet is lustrous and bright black. The cut was very flattering on me. The collar is a little off. It is too constricting to tie (and i am not corpulent on top). I ended up wearing it open and hid the ties inside. Also, the white fabric is a bit worn. Still wearable though. The beautiful velvet and the slit make up for it.

I enjoyed the color and cut of this dress. It is well made, although not lined. It fit me well, with room to spare.

Fun spring coat
This coat is not lined, hence the 4 stars. Otherwise, it is pretty awesome. Nice color and texture. The cut is slim, not oversized. It could be dressed up or down.

Velvet pants make everything better.
I love velvet, and i love Vince. I am curvy, and these pants fit me perfectly (minus a little gaping of the pockets). The length is a good crop for my height. The fabric looks pretty lustrous and rich still.

So beautiful!
These pants are perfect. Rich fabric, with great luster, weight and draping. The cut is flattering. The details are top notch: gold piping trim on the bottoms, side and belt. Pockets. Endless matching possibilities.

My favorite air of jeans!
I got so lucky with these jeans. They fit and feel amazing. I love the color. Perfect blue that matches everything in my closet and does not dye my hands or furniture (unlike some other brands i've tried in the past). Fabric is on a soft side and has a decent amount of stretch, but does not stretch out too much as I wear them.

Perfect pink dress for spring
My quest for a perfect spring dress is over. This dress will be perfect for work and Easter and theater. Brand new with tags! The fabric is thick and fluid, not clingy.

Fun spring coat!
Love the vibrant color of this coat. It is perfect for the first days of spring. It is light-weight, warm and beautifully made. A true designer item. The fabric has depth and richness, without formality. So happy to wear this.

Perfection!
Beautiful beautiful beautiful piece. It fits me perfectly. The fabric is melange: the black and blue are interwoven to produce a rich effect. Love the green trim. It looks stunning with my dark blue jeans. Of course, picture does not capture it as well. It is also in great shape. No pilling or signs of wear.

This coat fits amazingly well and is still in great shape. The fabric has good weight, luster and depth. The colors are very complimentary and rich. Elegant. It will be with me for a while. Love RTR.

I am wearing this as i type
Perfect sweater for a winter day. I put it on to try an hour ago and i am still wearing it. It is so soft, cozy and warm. Love it. I think the size M is a bit large on me, The fabric has seen better days. The sweater has started to peel a little. Still, i am going to keep this number for a while.

This ain't size 8 ...
I took a chance with size 8, despite the reviews that these jeans run small. Always trust the reviews :))) i got them through my thighs and got stuck in the hips. Oh well. I will try a much larger size next time. The fabric is awesome. Beautiful blue denim and old-school feel of no-stretch denim.

Made for me
As soon as i put this cardigan on, i felt like it completed me. What a surprise. I never even wear cardigans! The style was loose enough to show off the lace on the side. Colors are true black and white. The knit is substantial and drapes well.

Loved the color, not my style
This dress reminded me why i stick to A-line dresses: you need a decent size to fill in the chest on this dress. It is super cute otherwise.

Nice cut, wrong size
This dress was big on top for me, perfect in the hips. Classic pear shape issue. I would have worn it anyway but the fabric is kind of flimsy. Not true, lustrous black.

Cute pants but run super small
I read the reviews and knew these might be tight. And they were. I got them on but needed about an extra inch to zip up. Bummer. A little surprising, because i am usually 42 in European sizes. Oh well. Next!

Classic DVF
Aside from size 10 being too large on me (my fault - i took a chance on what was available), this dress is very special. Beautiful fabric, flattering cut and excellent quality. All the things we expect from DVF. I would rent again in size 8.

Silky smooth and bright
The color and cut of this dress are incredibly flattering, although shape wear is a must to smooth out visible panty lines. I felt very feminine.

I am still wearing it!
This coat is so perfect for the end of winter. It makes me happy, and it keeps me so warm. Of course, I get compliments on it all the time. The quality of the faux fur is actually quite nice and soft. It is not staticky. It looks much better in real life, and it could be styled up or down.

Loooong legs a must
These pants are gorgeous in real life. The fabric, the details, the cut - all quite edgy. Nice, fluid silhouette. But, the pant legs are very long. I am 5'4" and put on 4 in heels to try on these pants. They still touched the ground. I am returning without wearing. Also, size large was a bit large in the seat and waist, which i knew might happen because i am usually a medium or 8-6 in pants.

Finally, pink perfection
I am so in love with this dress. The color is perfectly bright and cheerful. It fits like a glove, and that is a miracle for me because my hips are wide and i am small chested (b/c cup). This dress looks much better in real life than in the photo. For example, there is no shadow across the stomach. The fabric has luster and it does not look wrinkled. Well, enough said. I am in love.

Gorgeous fabric and craftsmanship
The lace and craftsmanship on this shirt is spectacular in real life. It is delicate and roomy enough to feel super comfortable in it. At one point, i forgot i had a blouse on, not a tshirt. What an awesome upgrade from a tshirt, i must say. I will be getting this in a smaller size, though, because medium was too big for me.

I can't stop wearing these pants!
I am so happy with this RTR find. These pants work with everything in my closet - black turtlenecks, blue v-neck sweater and white romantic blouses. The style is conservative and edgy at the same time. The gathered front on the bottom of each leg is the coolest detail and definitely elevates the outfit. The fit is perfect for a petite pear shape :)

Fabric shows everything.
I liked the color and cut of this dress. The pink is a very flattering, soft shade. The skirt is slightly a-line, with a tasteful slit in the front. However, the dress has no lining and showed all the bumps. I don't own a slip (yet), but considering how many dresses are unlined these days, i might need to invest in one.

Lots of attention and compliments!
This dress is a keeper. It fits like a glove, soft and comfortable, and it definitely turns heads!!! Despite the form-fitting silhouette, it does not seem to require shape wear. I guess the zebra stripes do the camouflaging trick. And ... wait for it ... the lining is silver! It is so beautiful. I was really impressed by that detail.

Cool pants and super comfortable
Love these pants! They are soft, comfortable and edgy. Nice details with reverse fabric on the cuffs. Red stitching for contrast and a cute buckle in the back to tighten the waist. Fun fun fun.

Gorgeous dress and super comfortable
I loved everything about this dress. Deep burgundy color, soft fabric, generous cut. It is thick and not clingy, the skirt drapes nicely and the top accentuates the curves. I am really tempted to keep it.

I loved wearing this dress to my conservative office. It is a nice break from traditional black and grey. Primary colors with a twist. The knit fabric is soft, thick and has enough structure for a good flow. Lots of compliments!

I like Milly's designs on other people, and i keep trying to find the one that might look good on me. This number was a riot. I am pear shaped, and i looked like a seal in it. My son said it looked like a bathing suit :)

Picture does not capture the cool factor!
I love Ganni, and i love this dress. It is super comfortable and stylish. The details like stitching, pockets and buttons set it apart from being just a black denim shirt. The fabric is soft, perfect weight - not flimsy, stiff or thick for a denim. Loved everything about it.

Stunning dress, tons of compliments!
Loved wearing this dress! It is surprisingly soft and stretchy on the inside despite the sequins. I am wide in the hips so it did not hang on me like on the model, and i liked it anyway. Super fun dress for a party if you like the attention!
