Feminine & professional
Received a ton of compliments on this dress during a work conference. Flattering fit and elongating vertical stripes.

Flattering
Very flattering romper. Loved the crossover in the back visually but it made it challenging to get off in the restroom (it crosses over and then wraps around waist so the ties are very long)

Subtle details
Decent fit. I should have worn a better bra but it fit my large bust decently. The back is zippered but also has elastic ribbing to give a little stretch. Loved the details on the top - added a little oomph to a simple top.

Pirate top
Not great for creating shape as the main body is just straight and baggy. Made me feel like a pirate but maybe I would like it better with different styling.

Flirty and fun
Loved this romper. Lightweight and flattering. Definitely a bit annoying to unbutton when you need to run to the restroom but no other issues. Good for busty girls like me!

Too big
I typically wear a 12/14 dress but this L felt too big for me - taking oversize to another level. Sleeves were too long (I'm 5'2").

Baggy and long
RTR recommended an XL for me (12/14 and 5'2") It went down to mid thigh and had no shape. Not flattering for a curvy girl. Sleeves were too long

Not for me
This knit top was underwhelming on my body type. The sleeves were too long and baggy. The bust area was overly baggy for a cutout turtleneck.

Not flattering in Large
I didn't find this to be flattering in size L. The peplum at the waist is very slight and didn't create a flattering shape as many peplum tops do. Very thick knit.

Not flattering for curvy girls
This sweater fit, but it did not look good on me at all. I am busty and have some weight in my stomach as well. I thought the tie would create a nice line at the waist, but it just looked frumpy

Flattering & Elegant
I absolutely LOVED this dress. I was initially self conscious about getting a dress made from a knit material due to recent weight gain, but it was very flattering and not tight/restrictive. The pattern camouflaged my tummy and was very elegant, and the fabric is thick and luxe. Lots of compliments on the dress. Perfect for a cool evening out.

Awkward
This dress fit very awkwardly. The top was comfortable, even with my 34Gs, but the waist and hips were super tight. I don't have a particularly impressive booty but it managed to make the skirt just this side of decent and I could only zip up with shape wear on. Would not rent this unless you are willowy (but then the top might be too big)

Sexy look for a cool summer night
This piece fit well, even with some extra postpartum weight in my abdomen. The slit and V neckline add some sexiness to this long sleeved number. I found it very comfortable and felt beautiful in it. I wore this for an outdoor dinner (weather around 60F) on a heated patio.

Subtle sass
Loved the dramatic sleeve on this black dress. I got a ton of compliments at work. Wore with patterned black tights and heels for the mild California winter. Fit well, just a tad big but not to the point of looking sloppy.

Sophisticated sparkle
Absolutely loved this top. I wore it to Vegas for my husbands bday trip, with high waist pants. Very comfortable, sequins were not scratchy. I liked that it had some Vegas style sparkle but was still sophisticated and classic. Nice lining on the inside. At time of wearing, I was 185 lbs (5'2") 34G bust with some tummy pudge. Still flattering and peplum hid belly well. Would also be cute on those wanting to show sliver of skin with low rise pants.

Stunning...and it has pockets!
I received so many compliments on this dress. The emerald green color was beautiful, the pockets were handy, and it was comfortable overall. Currently a little heavier than usual, and I felt that this shape was very flattering. Based on the stock photos, I though the top was a stretchy/ soft material- like a body con dress- but it's like a delicate crepe feel (polyester). The straps are not adjustable and were just a tad too long. It was also a bit difficult to steam the wrinkles out of the skirt of the dress, but they were not super noticeable. I am 5'2" and my heels were about 4", and I would occasionally hook the back of the dress with my shoe, but did not find it too bothersome.

Regal
I wore this dress to a black tie wedding and received compliments left and right. I normally wear a size 8 or 10 and was able to still wear the 10 at 4.5 months pregnant. I went braless as I couldn't zip with a bra + pregnancy boobs (36DDD), but I felt comfortable without one. The girls were definitely on display though! 5'2" with 3.5" heels was perfect with the regular length dress.

I wore this dress for engagement photos. It was a lovely dress but maybe not the best for my body.
A size 10 fit me okay- It was a tad snug on my chest (34 DD) but not overly tight. I think the cut of the dress would be very flattering on most body types- especially for a top heavy girl who needs a balance to take attention away from her bustline. If you're a little lumpy in the midsection you might want to wear shapewear underneath- the white makes it hard to hide any imperfections.
