No embroidery on the back
Like another reviewer said, the pics show embroidery on the back but the jacket I received didn’t have any. Still looked cute and wore it over a t-shirt and jeans to an outdoor nighttime Christmastime event in Los Angeles, where it was light but cozy enough for the night time chill.

So close
The material of these was, like all Mother jeans, stretchy gorgeous perfection, and the pockets were adorable and wide-leg was definitely wide, but the length was too short for me (hit around my ankles and made me look like a triangle) and the waist was too big. Not sure a smaller size would’ve helped. Oh well.

Rent your true size
I really wanted this for an outing with friends but it was only available one size too big. Super pretty garment but it fit too large across the chest and bagged in the armpits, didn’t look quite right.

Birthday dress
This came NWT and fit easily and comfortably, no bra required. I had picked a different dress to wear to my birthday dinner but ended up reaching for this one instead. The fabric was so much more beautiful in person and I felt gorgeous in it.

Perfect travel dress
This was my absolute favorite thing I brought on a recent beach vacation. I got tons of use out of it for sunny daytime outings, casual dinners, and even as a swimsuit coverup. If I travelled more, I'd buy this without hesitation.

Vacation heroes
Brought these on a beach vacation and got a ton of use out of them with a tank and sandals for daytime and a white blouse for dressy dinners. They fit super comfortably and I got tons of compliments from strangers whenever I wore them.

Meh?
As other reviewers mention, this is basically a ribbed t shirt with shiny buttons. It was great for the first wear but after that, the buttonholes got loose and it popped open pretty regularly. Looked good on zoom but would definitely not have been happy to have it on for work in-person.

Safety pin, tape, and prayer
I ordered this dress as a backup and thank goodness - my first choice had a broken zipper. As the other reviewers have mentioned, wrangling the bodice on this dress is tricky. It took 6 safety pins and a lot of fashion tape to make me feel safe to leave the house, but hey - good enough! The dress got few compliments in person, but it seems to really wow people in photos.

A surprise hit!
To be honest, I grabbed this top as a last resort to fill a shipment because I couldn’t find anything else I wanted and the RTR stylist had put it on a list of recs a few months back. I was not very excited about it on the hanger and it’s not something I’d usually go for, but I tossed it on for work one day and I have NEVER received so many compliments on a garment. I don’t know if I even really get it - there are some genuinely lovely details in the construction and design of the neckline and sleeves, but the fabric isn’t my favorite and the print isn’t one I’d usually go for and still, the magic is undeniable. I’m not sure I love it, but also might have to buy it?

The keyhole was just too much
The print and fit of dress was SO lovely but the keyhole/knot in the bust was way too revealing on my bust (32D). I tried pins, tape, a bandeau, a slip - everything I could think of, but I just couldn’t get comfortable. The hole gaped open and ruined the potential pretty sweetness of this dress for me.

Such a bummer - way too short
I was so excited for this item - before it arrived, I already had a plan to buy it. Sadly, while it’s a gorgeous, perfect white summer top and the details on it are so SO pretty and well done, it was way too short. I tried to tuck it in to at least 8 different pairs of high-waisted pants and just basaaaaarely got it snuggled in, and then it popped back out when I moved. I even tried giving it a very serious ironing to see if I could squeak out a little more length, but alas. This one didn’t work for me and my long torso.
