Sad to return
This felt expensive and had amazing movement. It was a touch high waisted on me, but since I was wearing it with a blazer anyway it didn’t really matter. Loved the colors. I felt special all day.

Fun and flattering
I liked this and wore it more than once. I wanted the fabric to be a bit more luxe and I wished it was a bit longer, but it was fun to wear and looked expensive

I didn’t think this was that flattering, but I got compliments from everybody. It’s a very unusual and special piece. Warmer than expected given the fabric

Holiday magic
I was so happy to be able to wear this to a few different parties. It was flattering and fun and felt special while being completely comfortable. No shape wear required although I did wear a cami underneath because it was very low. I got a million compliments from women. Not sure if men got it.

Weirdly hard to style
This was clearly excellent quality, and I wanted to love it. I found it very big and boxy in the shoulders. I felt like a linebacker. I expected the neutral colors to go with everything, but the navy was hard to match and it didn’t look great with white. It looks best with jeans which limited how much I could wear it.

Sleek
Great work dress. Loved the dark navy with black faux leather accents. Made it easy to pair with black over the knee boots, which worked because it was a tad short for me. The fabric is thin but pretty wrinkle resistant. True buttons. I wore with a cami underneath to give myself a little more room for a larger bust.

Where to begin? Compliment magnet. So warm and cozy you barely notice it’s short. Amazing color with the sheen of the season. Yes, it makes noise when your arms rub when you walk, but if that bothers you just keep your hands in the ample pockets. The hood is beyond. Looks brand new.

Not for me
I was excited about this one but I couldn’t wear it. The colors are very autumnal but the fabric is very summery. The peplum added bulk to my hips that I didn’t need. The buttons gaped. Maybe for a warm autumn day if you want to supplement an hourglass?

Prairie meets office
I found this a little prim. Skirt has a lot of fabric which is fun but might be a bit dramatic for some. Buttons are spaced in a way that make it either very high necked or showed my bra.

Elevated eyelet
This dress is incredibly flattering. It made my waist look tiny. It's rare to find crisp summery black. The inner slip is annoying to get on--I wish it wasn't sewn in. But it's worth the wriggle. And pockets. Might be too long if you're on the shorter side but I loved it.

Crisp Summery Elegance
This came new with tags which always feels like a treat. The pattern is unique and special--like Delft china. It was a tad short waisted on me, but otherwise looked and felt great. Skirt had great movement and the bottom button is high enough to give it a little sex appeal.

The hint of sex appeal in the back softens the high neckline. Color and fit are amazing. Sleeves add volume without being fussy, waist snatches you in, swishy skirt feels fancy. A million complements. And looked great in photos.

Sunshine in a dress
Beautiful sunny color, special eyelet embroidery. Wish the top was lined but I wore it with a nude cami underneath so it was work appropriate. On the longer side of midi length but it worked for me--could be a problem if you're shorter. The sleeves are flattering but it's a lot of fabric so it looks and feels bulky under a cardigan. Better for warmer days when you don't need anything

Flattering and dressy
Satiny fabric with an elevated floral print. Wore with a blazer for work to make it look less like a party dress and to have pockets. Slightly pilled from someone's necklace but it doesn't show. Nice swishy skirt and good length. Not too much volume in the sleeves. Sad I didn't get a photo.

High quality
High quality, fully lined, three season blazer. Good but not great. Might have been more flattering if I had sized down--it was a little big in the shoulders and waist but I needed the room in the bust. Size down with a smaller bust and it might feel sleeker.

So great
Got this new with tags. Fantastic print. Compliments galore from my cool teenagers to my colleagues to strangers of the street. Flattering, not restrictive, looks special but totally comfortable. Wore with a jacket on cooler days and for pockets (the only flaw) which made it look a big more professional. Loved

Standout print in a crisper cotton that is a little structured. The waist hit a bit high for me but the fit was still good. Shorter ladies might find it long but I liked it. Wish it had pockets.

Loved it and so did everyone else
MISA has been one of my favorite RTR discoveries. This dress did not disappoint. Beautiful print, light, flowy fabric. I found this one a bit big and long so I wore it with a belt, which looked great. Not sure a smaller size would have been comfortable in the bust. Highly recommend

Good not great
I liked the dress although I wasn't totally sold on the pattern. The fit was good, body skimming and flattering, with a fun swishy skirt and soft comfortable fabric. A little gaping at the waist.

Garden elegance
This dress was phenomenally flattering on my curves, made my waist look small without being constricting. The floral pattern is beautiful and unusual. The cotton has a bit of a sheen, which makes it look dressier. I found the sleeves had a bit too much volume and the neckline a little low for day, but I made it work, although it felt like too much for the office. The second time I wore a lacy camisole underneath which raised the neckline a bit and made it feel more day.

High Fashion—hard to rewear
This is a high fashion piece that fits TTS and was very flattering on my curves. Not the easiest to style for work—the slit is too high to wear without tights. It worked well with a structured, short black. I tried it with a cardigan which was terrible—made it look frumpy and shapeless. It made an impression—not compliments exactly but it was definitely noticed. Downside is that I could only wear it once to work—too memorable to rewear in a short period of time without a totally different audience.

Loved
The fabric is so soft and just the right amount of stretch. I kept wanting to touch it. I sized up so it wasn't too clingy and wore with a navy blazer for work. Also helped bc no pockets.The pattern is special. Only downside was that it's so distinctive I couldn't wear it more than twice. Great transitional piece.

Sleek and a bit stiff
Loved this color. I sized up so I didn't have any of the zipper or arm lifting problems that others described, but I found it a bit big and loose in the hips. My daughter said I looked like a congresswoman. This is definitely a serious look.

Fun to have a work appropriate blazer that is not business as usual. Interesting look, could be dressed up or down. It was a little tight across the bust/back from me. Size up if you're larger chested.

Silky flowing fabric
This came new with tags, which is always so fun. The fabric is synthetic, but flows beautifully when you move. The tie belt was sewn on unevenly, which made for a frumpier than necessary fit. I think this would have looked better if I had been able to replace the sash with a thin leather belt. I sized down, which was the right choice in terms of body fit, but the arms were a bit tight and short at the wrists. More comfortable if I left them on buttoned. Sorry I forgot to take a pic!

Gorgeous if you’re 6 feet tall
This is a totally beautiful dress that came with tags on. Unfortunately every part of it was way too long on me, from the halter to the skirt—and I am 5”8 with a long torso. I also couldn’t tie it tight enough. Maybe an L might have worked better but I didn’t have time to try a different size.

Nope
This did not work for me. I was on the fence about the print and didn't love it more in person. The real problem, was that the peplum hit me way too high. Might work for someone with a smaller bust.

Great color, fussy sleeves
The color of this dress is vibrant and eye-catching. I got several compliments on the color, but not on the dress. I sized up so that I could button the top, and the fit was fine, but I didn't love the ties on the sleeves, which stood out more in person than in the photo, and especially in combination with the tie belt, made what would have been a great and minimalist dress a little too precious. The fabric is great--structured but soft, making this a comfortable dress to wear all day. The buttons are spaced out a little too much, which on me caused some gaping on the torso.
