Trust the reviews- weird fit
I thought I'd chance it but nope! Super long crotch, but oddly short inseam- like would have been too short on me at 5'3 with any heel at all. If you have a long torso and shorter legs, go for it!
Cady Jumpsuit
Roland Mouret
Size Worn: 4R
Usual Size: 4

Bust: 32DD
Perfect LBD
Not a showstopper by any means, but a pretty neckline and an easy shape, in a fabric that doesn't wrinkle at all. Super comfy.

Good pants!
Nice fit, and the regular length was perfect on my 5'3" frame with a 3" heel. Almost bought except they did grow a bit- after 2 wears I would have needed to clean them to get the original shape back.

Incredible!!! read for fit notes
An unbelievably fun to wear showstopper- compliments galore. So unusual, cool, versatile and timeless; this is the kind of thing I love most on RTR. The weight and construction feels extremely high-end; I just love it! As the reviews say, the waist is very small and it’s meant to be worn very high- so the size of your rib cage is as important and your waist. My bra band size is 32; my waist is 27.5, and I can just barely zip the size 36. I love the length on me- very chic maxi length and I could still wear flats without the points touching the floor.

Great fit on hourglass or pear petite
Everything about this dress fit so well including the length and length of the torso (my torso is really short and zippers are constantly too long for it). Wore several times!

Great jeans, if you're over 5'5"
Looked great in the butt and legs but were too long to wear with even my tallest heels. Also this says high rise but it's really more of a mid rise. I tried opening the snaps and tying the legs into a sort of harem situation, which technically worked great but then felt pretty dumb. I tried!

Too tight to love
I can see why this is so popular- it's comfortable, warm, wears well, and is neat looking. It is super curve-enhancing though and I just felt self-conscious in it. If you're worried about your stomach at all I'd pass on this one.

Adorable if slightly itchy
Such a cute sweater! Wore it with an RTR skirt (Sanctuary) and liked the outfit for a freezing cold night out in Montreal. I could feel the itchy wool through a long sleeved undershirt though, and was glad to get it off at the end of the night.

Really cool, but belly-accentuating
Very luxe fabric, sexy fit and design. Liked enough to wear on my birthday and to an event- felt great in it but later saw pictures that made me regret it bc my (modest) pooch looked huge. Very curve-enhancing in all the good and then not-so-good ways, if you're self-conscious about anything.

Good, with some tweaks
Super long- didn’t like it with a belt so I used a hair tie on the inside to pull it up at the waist. Sleeves are oddly baggy, fabric feels like a thin bathing suit, shoulder pads are unnecessary and covered in fabric that makes noise against the dress. BUT- the print is dramatic and it was great for a day of meetings and travel. Super comfy and chic at the same time.

Good if this is your vibe
Pretty perfect execution of this style. Fun 70s look especially because the leather looks so deliberately fake. For me I found it hard to style and not particularly flattering, but it was still fun to play with and I’m sure will be great on many people.

Fun! And a great length for petites
Loved the neckline, length, and versatility. Works with black and pretty much every shade of brown and denim. A teensy bit itchy but still wearable.

Super sexy if you’re short
LOVE this neckline! In other reviews the neckline looks less dramatic- on my petite torso there was a lot of skin, but I liked the drama of it!

The most glamorous Halloween ever
I LOVE this dress and would totally wear it in real life if I could hem it. Beautiful fabric, such an elegant design, incredible colors. In my tallest platform heels (making me 5’7”) it was still too long for real life, so I’m making it work for Halloween! Can’t wait!

Fun for a day
Agree with the other reviews that they’re snug, but they soften up after a little while. Cute and different and worth renting to shake things up! Perfect length for me to wear with flats or a low heel; would look best on someone 5’5 or taller to be cropped as intended.

Frumpytown
Part of the problem is that Ganni runs really big and tall- maybe if I were 7” taller this would have been ok. But the print is really somber and the neckline is so conservative without being cool- tried lots of styling but just hated it and didn’t wear.

Cute! Versatile
Really loved this with several existing pieces in my closet. Could have sized down- it’s a true A-line/bell shape and was a bit too roomy in the hips for me. Still enjoyed it a lot! Length was great on me.

Fantastic
So cool and flattering, perfect jeans, perfect wash. I’m 5’3 and the length works with 3” boots- makes my legs look super long. Also cute with a very wide cuff and then just right with flats. Slightly big in the waist.

Chic, comfy, huge pockets, great color. Perfect transitional dress, and perfect length and overall proportions for shorter people. It’s definitely boobtastic but the skin is what makes it chic and not frumpy, with all the volume everywhere else.

Super cute cut and color, but size down and be prepared for them to stretch a bit during the day. Very comfy though!

A few too many ideas for one dress
I had high hopes for this but it is really weird- side seams are very wonky and wavy. The plaid is so fall-like but the fabric is very very light cotton. Maybe on a very tall person everything would fall into place but this really looked like a home-ec project on me.

Loved before the fabric grew
Great pants, so flattering! Except- they are seersucker, and during the day the fabric grew so that the pants got droopy around the butt and thighs and became so long I had to roll the waistband. So beware that you really only get a few good hours in them!

Chic and comfy
Loved this, with a few adjustments! I used a couple of safety pins to keep it closed, and didn’t struggle with the arms as other reviewers have. Just takes a little getting used to, but it’s worth it for all the compliments!

Great for long torso
Agree with all the reviews- it’s big. Boxy through the body, big armholes. I wore a black lace bralette with it and just made peace with it showing. Great neckline, felt cool in it despite the issues when I wore it with the pants.

Not for the short
I’ve been so curious about this shape and thought the dark sides would help it be flattering- nooooo. Never has my butt looked longer and my knees? looked wider… I do think this style is just a 5’6+ thing :(
