Pretty, flattering, easy
I loved this top. It's lightweight and versatile. Long enough to tuck in but not so long that it adds bulk to your waist.

Somehow bulky at top and too baggy on legs
Unflattering, runs small, a bit short on my 5’9 frame.

I swear this dress CREATES love handles
I currently wear a size 30 pants. I have wanted to try this dress for a long time so I did, and I sized up to an XL because I’m postpartum and am trying to err on the side of close being a little too big right now while my body is still a little wonky. Standing in the mirror in my underwear before putting this dress on, my hips were round but smooth. Put this dress on, which didn’t feel tight or constrictive at all, and suddenly my bottom half was all love handles and weirdness. Something about where the pattern changes and the dress flares was just incredibly unflattering on me. Curvy girls, be mindful!

Sadly frumpy!
I wanted so badly to love this dress but I felt frumpy, and I am 5’9 (so the dress wasn’t too long) and work in a business professional environment, so the dress code is very modest. It might have been better if I’d gone a size down, but I have broad shoulders and a big chest (postpartum and breastfeeding so larger than my normal) and I’m not sure if it would have fit nicely around my upper body.

Cute, flattering, tuck-able
Really loved this top. It’s a great length for an outfit with mid-to-high rise pants if you like to tuck them in, because it’s not too long or thick and doesn’t make it bulky—but it’s also not cropped and could totally be worn untucked. I sized up for comfort and it still didn’t look baggy or weird. Love the functional buttons and the way it hangs is very flattering thanks to the gauzy material. Would rent again.

Love these jeans!
These jeans are so comfortable and cute. I wore them like 10 times. The length was just SLIGHTLY too short on my legs, so I usually rolled them up to be cropped length (which worked perfectly since I like that look anyway!).

Beautiful, but consider sizing up
I loved this dress and got lots of compliments. The color is great, and the length is appropriate even on someone tall like me. The only warning I have is that it's a bit unforgiving in the waist--it fit fine when I was standing up, but was a little tight/unflattering when I sat down.

Cute, but unforgiving
This dress is so pretty. I love the color and the general silhouette, and the length is work appropriate on me even though I'm tall (with tights, at least). But, it is very unforgiving at the waist! I'm usually a 6, sometimes a 4, in dresses like this. I sized up to an 8 after reading the reviews and it fit perfectly and was very comfortable, but still clung to every roll on my midsection. Even if you're lump-less, I'd personally still size up for fit.

SO many compliments
I love this coat. I rented it in my first month of RTR and I still haven't given it back, 3 months later! It's so versatile and I get constant compliments on it. Matches everything too! It's warm but not too warm, and roomy enough to add layers underneath.

Perfect combination of classy and sexy
I absolutely loved this dress. I usually like to go a size up for nights where I'm drinking & eating, but I preferred the closer fit in this dress. I think the cut-outs are more flattering a little snugger and at your natural waist! I will say that while I absolutely loved this dress, I'm not sure how it would fit on a shorter person. I'm 5'9, and I felt like it looked a bit too long on me before I put heels on. I did think it looked great once my legs were a little bit elongated from my heels, but the dress length in front is definitely longer than it appears on the model!
