Fun purse!
I loved this purse! It's so fun and a cool shape. It is small but can hold a phone, mini cardholder and lip gloss just fine.

Boxy but cute
This is a nice versatile jacket and pairs well with many things. It is a bit heavier than anticipated and a bit boxier than I expected.

Flattering dress
As a curvier gal, this was a sweater dress that was actually flattering. It's also not super warm. I loved it and prob would have bought it!

This is a better early winter coat as I wasn't able to wear since we got hit with below zero temps

Fun glittery bodysuit
This velvet bodysuit with glitter is so fun for the holidays. It's a bit short in the legs and wish it was looser around the mid-section or wider legged but a fun item.

Comfortable cool dress
I wore this dress to a couple work events, and I got so many compliments. As curvier gal, this material was stretchy and forgiving — I felt amazing. I wish I would have bought it!

Perfect casual jacket
This was a nice light fall jacket, not super warm so prepare to layer as needed. Very versatile style.

Twist on a classic
The midsection is tighter for a more cropped, modern look, so something to be aware of!

Beautiful dress, bad zippers
I rented this dress for a black-tie gala. The material is not as luxe as it looks, but that's not necessarily a bad thing as it seemed like it would be really comfortable but come off very formal. However, I ordered the medium and the large for this dress, and both would not zip. The medium was maybe a bit too small, but it wouldn't zip past the waist seam. I had two people try to budge the zipper (on BOTH dresses) to no avail. It just refused to move. If there was absolutely zero squeezing to do to fit into this dress, then you'd be fine. But RTR was amazing - I explained my problem and they sent me two sizes of another option just in time for my gala for no additional charge. The rep was fantastic and understanding, and the one I ended up with worked out just fine.

Great dress after many snafus, awesome customer service
I work in PR for a museum and had to get a floor-length gown for our annual fundraising gala. I knew I'd be running around a lot, so I originally ordered a different dress from RTR. Unfortunately, that gown's zipper was messed up, so I frantically emailed RTR and they were amazing. They offered me the option to select a new dress or get a full refund, so I selected a different dress that wasn't available. They recommended this one, and I'm so glad they did. It fit me perfectly in the bust - which was key since I was technically working - and it was really flattering on my figure. I'm usually more of a 8/10, and it was a little roomy at the waist, but the 10R wouldn't zip past my bust so I had to go with the 12R (and yes, they sent me two sizes for this dress too which was awesome). The only complaint was that the extra fabric down the middle of the empire silhouette ran a bit long, and I almost tripped on it a few times, leading me to hold it up while I was on the move throughout the night. (I was wearing about 4-inch heels, and I'm 5'4"). Everyone complimented me on it though, especially on the color, which is absolutely stunning in person and looks fantastic in photos. While I was a little stressed out about the original dress (a Milly one shoulder gold gown), RTR really came through with absolutely perfect customer service and with a great backup dress.

Perfect dress for curvier type for a wedding
I wasn't sure based on reviews if this dress would look good on my curvier body. I'm a little more hippy for tighter styles, but this should everything off appropriately. I thought it was a good balance of sexy yet still legit for a wedding (as my best friend's date). The dresses (I got the medium too) came in on time and everything.
