Perfect for work and yes, just a little sneaky sexy.
Perfect for work and yes, just a little sneaky sexy (agree with others). Super nice material, some cute details at the shoulder and the back slit, well fitted through the bodice/hips, and that V-neck is just a little sneaky sexy. Loved it.

Agree with above - finally trousers for people with LONG legs!
Agree with above - FINALLY trousers for people with LONG legs! So sick of the crop length, ankle length, mid calf length pant which look ridiculous on me and leave no high-heel option. These were SENSATIONAL at work with high heels, the slit is a nice detail for showing off shoes, the material is good quality, they have a POCKET and fit well at the inseam - a perfect pant! Thank you!

I really like the soft cowl, flowy fabric, and the oblique hemline. My vacation is ahead, but I bought it in advanced.

Did not wear
Probably needed the smaller size which wasn't available, this was just sloppy looking on me through the waist and "poofed" out a little at my abdomen. Bummer - the reviews has me psyched about a reliable little work dress.

Did not wear
I had this black sheath and another one both at home for same week of work travel. The other one fit better than this. The waist on this did not hit my waist, so it was not smooth on my torso. The material is very high quality and the dress is very well made.

Overall large and floppy
Sweater is cute in their picture. Agree with others overall. The sweater material is thinner and looser than other sweaters from RTR; thus it is not fitted. It is a boxy cut, with the super floppy sleeves which are not at all functional or pretty as they get in food at a table, in a kitchen, or even in your drink at bar. So, if all you plan to do is stand around - this is great - but I would not rent again.

Worked for professional meetings
I thought this dress fit very well - agree with others, it is snug fitting. I included two photos to show the depth of the V-neck and the actual width of the shoulder cut-away for bra-planning purposes. The slit when seated showed more thigh than I generally like for a conference room meeting or a business dinner, but OK. I would consider renting again.

Conservative sweater. Pretty sleeve, but long.
Agree with others. Conservative sweater. Pretty sleeve, but long. And agree there is something unflattering about the design/material combination and the way it "hugged rolls." Will not re-rent.

Reviews are correct: SUPER high waisted
Wool pant, SUPER high wasted, even shorter than the ankle on me (which makes them a weird cut for winter), fitted hips and back - just as everyone else said. Would never buy in a store - did not wear.

I liked this sweater; it is different.
I liked this sweater; it is different. The knit is soft, and the sleeves are fitted which I like in a sweater. The oddities (on me) which are in the photos are (1) the sleeves are long, I had to cuff them and (2) the point where the "wrap" starts is mid belly and it does not lie flat - it puckers which is weird. The cut away in the back is cool and is pretty with a pretty bralette, but it is low (even on my back and I am tall). I do not think a smaller size would have helped, it might have. RTR picked a large for me.

Just a eye catching different sweater - got several comments on it.

Heavy fabric, nice fit, soft color.
As above, heavy fabric, nice fit, soft color which is a nice alternative to black. I love the fitted arms. The off the shoulder is trendy and pretty but of course not functional under a winter coat or if you have to do anything other than stand with your arms at your side. I found that the collar did not stay in place through dinner because every time I lifted the fork to my mouth, the dress rolled up. Still enjoyed it.

fabric is beautiful, garnet cut is very full.
Scale of pant not great for me, a bit over whelming with a very full leg. That said, I am tall and these ARE actually long enough to wear with a nice heel - which would be great! Also know there is some small sparkle element to the ribbon on the side seam of the leg which evokes a bit of a tuxedo feeling and thus these trousers felt too dressy for my workplace.

Not for my body type or height - though the quality of the pant is lovely.
I am 5'6" with very slender legs. (1) These were way too short, others had said this as well. Either the model in the photo was shorter than I or she had a "tall" version of this pant. These did not even reach my ankle and there is no way I could have worn heels with these. (2) The inseam was voluminous - it looked like I was wearing trousers 2-3 sizes too large. (3) The color is purple which is stated in other reviews but hard to see in the stock photo.

Very well made, agree with others.
Never actually wore it out. Very classy look, well made. A bit too dressy (and sexy for my taste) for my daytime/work/office place and a bit too formal for going out. Would be perfect for a wedding or a evening/business event.

Wore these for a few work events, loved them actually, but too expensive for me to purchase.
Fit well in hips/waist. I have long legs and they were shorter than I like. Loved the color.
