This dress was perfect for a hot "suite" day at the ballpark. I used silicone sticky bra and it worked great! Many compliments.

I'm not yet comfortable with the crop but I did wear it several times. Sometimes it rolled up too high exposing while midsection especially if under a jacket. Nice pattern and went with lots of items

Trousers!
These were well structured and looked great. Very large in the waste so it hung on the hips, which is not for everyone. I wore with and without a belt depending on the rest of the outfit.

Nice Dress Did not wear
I had the choice between two and this one did not win. It gave me a bit of back cleavage. I am so glad I didn’t wear it because someone else was wearing it at the party I was at and it looked great on them. It would be nice if we could put in our event to make sure others did not rent the same dress for the same event! @RTR It was tight only in one spot right at the top of the bust so if you have a big back go up a size or order something else.

It's big with a huge logo on back; not the classic Polo sweatshirts from long ago. It was okay. It is what it is.

Great pattern, flattering cut.
For snug on top which was good because I went braless. The arm pits were low and I could not find a suitable bra to wear. The dress looked perfect from the moment I put it on until it went back in the RTR bag after three events.

Perfect Barrel Jeans
The shape and fit of these were perfect. They were long enough to hit my ankle when standing, but as you can see, showed full socks when I crossed my leg, so be mindful and pick some cute ones!

Classic Levi’s in White
Disclaimer: I love nearly everything Levi’s! So these pants were no exception. I usually have good luck with white, but these were a spill magnet so I did wash a couple of times. They loosen after a couple of hours of wear so tight to begin with ok (you can see the buckling at the waist in the photo). These were not too dressy but dressy enough for casual work wear. Probably could dress up a bit.

Cropped & Cute
I’m not a fan of cropped sweaters but this was cute. The pattern was preppy and it was a good quality. You need to have the right bottom layer to keep it looking tidy, a turtleneck or tshirt works but I wore a loose button down shirt on this day that looked weird because it pillowed under the cropped sweater at my waist.

This gives with multiple body shapes and has a lining that keeps it all in but does show the curves. Super cute caviar motif. My husband thought it was tennis rackets lol.

This would look good on a variety of body shapes as it is very forgiving. It also is good for travel as it looked just as good coming out of a suitcase as going in.

It was big, the bow detail was cute. I wish this was a nicer fabric, wool or blend. It seems a bit too polyestery.

This can be worn as a turtleneck or a collared sweater; with the zip in the front or in the back; as a base layer or a mid layer. Perfect golden fall color. Fit is loose so size down if you want tight.

My favorite RTR sweater
Super nice details. There were cute little buttons on crisp oversized cuffs. The buttons were repeated on the front. I was able to wear this as a cardigan and a shirt. It’s a definite upgrade from the shirt/sweater combo deals. Soft gray cashmere; polished look!

Retro Fun
So many compliments; looks like it could be hand knit. This was a bit loose. Could have sized down to normal size. RTR recommended a size up so pick your regular size. Arm pits very low, so you have to take care with the right bra.

Perfect for garden wedding - small in waist
Sooo many compliments! Had to size up on this because no give in the waist. the pinch at the waist on the smaller size created an unflattering roll. Glad I picked the bigger size for my second pick.
