Chic and simple work style, but runs small
Loved the look, perfect for work in the city! Also very flattering. However, a shirt must be worn under it because of the cutouts in the front, which exacerbates the issue of it running a bit small. I wore a tank underneath and did not wear a bra, because it was too tight with a bra (and I am small-chested).

Fun, summery romper!
Perfect fit, form-flattering! Love the color, even though I don't usually like orange. I wore this to a pride party and a Mets game (highly recommend for Mets game, for the color). My arms felt a little restricted, but I could actually at times wear this with my arms out and the sleeves appeared to be part of the top!

Beautiful color, flattering fit
This bright yellow is so wonderful! A very flattering, slimming fit, although a bit low cut for work. This flowy/floral is not exactly my style, but if it's yours I highly recommend it!

On-trend pants
I enjoyed trying out pants like this without having to commit to them. The fabric was not what I expected - soft, cottony, and a little worn - but I liked the colors. I don't find these elastic waistbands very flattering.

Perfect glam concert outfit
Wore this out dancing at a Chromeo concert and felt fantastic. I have never received so many compliments in my life. The neckline is a little loose and revealing. I got away without tape but might have been better off trying it. Highly recommend, so fun!

Lovely color, boxy fit
The jacket runs large. There is pleating on left and right on both front and back, which I associate with a vintage 40s silhouette. I thought it could be cute, but it was rather boxy. I love the color.

Summer comfort and style
The fit is very flattering, tight at the waist. The fabric is light and breathable, making an easy, comfy, cute and summery wear! The collar is a little large, so you have to be interested in committing to this preppy detail

Cool legs, a little large on top
Loved this jumpsuit. It fit me perfectly on the calves and looked great with my mules. I did not expect the waist band to sit so low - it sits on my hips. The top was a bit roomy for me.

Lovely color, not too large!
Some of RTR statement earrings are way too big. These were large but not comically so. Love the energizing, summery color!

Love these versatile, unique, comfy, sexy leggings!
These fit me perfectly in the 4. They are true leggings - skin tight, but a little looser at the ankle. I could wear them to work with a long blouse. They could also be dressed up for a night out!

Cut but difficult for work
Shorter than pictured. I could not wear this comfortably to work with mid-rise pants bc if I lifted my arms my midriff showed. To be worn with high rise pants. Also the cuffs would not button on me, but they looked fine unbuttoned. Love the color and fabric. Light summery feel.

I love this romper! Some fit issues though
Gorgeous spring palette that elevates my mood! The fit is airy and breathable, cinching perfectly at the waist. The legs are very roomy and feel like a skirt. The fabric is silky and so comfortable. My complaint is that the top is also very loose, which is only problematic because the low neck line falls to the side and exposes my bra. I am smaller on the top, so perhaps a bustier person could fill it in, but honestly I think it's so loose it would be a problem for most people. When the top is behaving, the low neckline is very flattering. The sleeves are very long a loose - gives me an 80s vibe. The fit and floral overall feel very 80s.

I wore this to my brother's graduation and after parties. This was a perfect day to evening outfit. I received many compliments. The top is so flattering, and the one piece is so easy and comfortable. Highly recommend this piece!

Super tight in arms and small in general
Order up! I couldn't wear this. I'm usually a small and even the medium was too small on me. The bottom fit beautifully (surprising, because I am curvy), but I could hardly zip the top closed and it was tight on my arms.

Easy, flattering and fun or elegant, depending how you dress it up!
I love his romper! I ended up buying it, but in a 4, my true size. It's easy, flattering and fun. You can change it up nicely with different jackets and shoes. As others mention, it's slightly hard to zipper at the waist, but this is due to the bulkiness of the fabric, not the fit. I honestly didn't have much trouble with it. It's slightly large for me in the chest, so it would also be good for bustier women.

Energizing color, easy and elegant
Loved the color, the breathable fabric, and fit. Wore for a full day, exploring the city in the sun. I appreciated that I didn't have to worry about fussing with the fit all day. It also worked out as a day-to-night outfit. I would have preferred if the legs were full length, but this length allows you to show off strappy shoes.

This jumpsuit has great personality
The 4R was a little long and loose on me. The slit below the halter wasn't visible on me at all - it remained closed. Perhaps that would not be true for a bustier woman. I loved the sassy, vintage vibes, but I did not end up wearing this jumpsuit.

Stunning and unique dress, just mind your posture
I felt great in this dress, and received many compliments, but I give it 4/5 stars because it was high maintenance. It plunged very low and even with a small bust, I could not lean over without exposing too much. I had to maintain great posture all night. Also, the leg seam was splitting slightly when the dress arrived, so I feared it would get worse, but thankfully it did not. When you sit down the leg seam is very high, so I spent the wedding dinner trying to cover up with my napkin or my clutch. Despite the low neckline, when I ordered this dress I felt that the length made it appropriate for this wedding, which was on the casual side. However, I found it unpleasant to have to worry about exposure throughout a wedding and would recommend this dress for more casual events/date nights for other women.

It's just okay! It is flattering and has a nice silky texture. Perfect worn with high waisted jeans. The colors are just mediocre.

So unique, form flattering
I regret not getting a photo in this dress. I've never received more compliments on my outfit! Worn out to a friend's bday party at a lounge called The Warhol Room (inspired by the Pop Art theme), with thigh high boots and dark sheer leggings with my hair up. It fits exactly as in the photos on the model

Feminine, not frilly, with an edge
I was worried that the collar was going to be too big/overly frilly. This was not the case. It was a fairly shallow collar that alternately wanted to hang down or stand up - both ways looked good. The shirt is snug, but I believe this is how it is meant to fit. It was very flattering on my waist and I loved the open shoulder, feminine look. With red lipstick, you slay!

Tomboyish and playful, with a hint of sexy
This shirt was cute and fun. The fabric is very light so it felt comfortable and cooling on the first hot day this spring. The color is so cheerful. The fit is a little weird. Although I love a crop top, this top was a little big, even with the drawstring tied tight. The result is it easily slipped up too high. The cuffs of the sleeves were also a little tight on me. Overall I love it, but I could have loved it more if it were a little less short

Love the happy color! Fitted cut was a little roomier than I expected
This blazer color actually lifted my mood. The fit was very flattering, but not form-fitting. I also wore this with a plunging neckline bodysuit, jeans and heels to a wine tasting event and loved the vibe. Unfortunately one of the shoulder pads (yes there are shoulder pads) was a bit mangled so it didn't sit perfectly

Love the fit, cutout and fabric. Sleeves/too looked too corporate
This dress's top and bottom didn't have the same personality, but this contradiction might be part of the style. It just didn't work for my event. It ran a little small, is very curve-hugging. Fabric is not too thick but enough to provide support so you don't need to wear a bra

Love it, but runs extremely small!!!
I couldn't wear this because I couldn't even get the small on my body. I am normally a 4 or small. I may need to order a large in this one

Perfect dress for boyfriend's surprise bday party
This dress is sexy, edgy, but still sophisticated! I wanted a small, but only the medium was available. Due to the stretchy fabric and form-fitting cut this was not a problem! It still hugged my curves in the right places and I never felt it was too short or riding up. My only complaint is that the seam in the skip didn't line up with the seam of the dress so you could see the impression of another seam through the dress.

Roman goddess vibes in this flattering top
This top was a little snug on me (and I am small chested), so definitely consider sizing up. I felt however that the fit was flattering! The skirt makes it not look too tight

Really cute, baggy up top
I love this design, but if you are small chested, the top may sag on you. Also slightly larger than I expected overall - more of a flowy look that would be comfortable and cute on a hot day!

Wanted plaid for SPD, did not disappoint!
This is a fitted, but comfortable, form-flattering dress. The colors are deep and lovely. The flair at the back of the skirt was not my favorite detail however - just not my style (rather conservative) and made the dress more formal than the family party i wore it to

Beautiful, eye-catching dress, tight on curvy hips
Wow, I love the colors of this dress and mock neck top! The bow gave it an artsy flair. I usually like a tighter fit, so the snugness in the hips wasn't a problem for me, but I understand this is not always the look you want in a shift style dress - if this is true, size up

I love this warm, unique sweater!
The pattern just pops and the zipper and asymmetrical cut is a cool detail. This sweater is warm and attractive. It is not form flattering per se, since the fabric is thick and it is box-shaped, but that's not what I was looking for from this sweater. Perfect for everyday, but I also wore it to work and received compliments

Cute dress! Color different than expected
This was a cute dress. Top fits loosely. A little short for work. The skirt twirls wonderfully! There is olive green on the dress, which I didn't expect (see photo). My dress didn't come with the black tie - not sure if this is true for all

The fabric is amazing, the color was not as expected, and fit wasn't perfect for a curvy bottom half
The feel of the fabric of these pants is incredible - it has the weight of a quality fabric, but breaths so nicely. What I was not expecting was that the color is more of a muted pink-orange than an orange-tan. I work in a liberal environment that would have appreciated these cool pants, but pink leopard was pushing it. I did not end up wearing these. I had problems with the fit, too. The waist was large on me. They were form fitting around my butt, but sagged just beneath. I think they would be more flattering on a less curvy figure.

I wanted to love it, but the fit would be better for someone taller, and bustier
The bottom half fit true to size - a 4R, I knew, would be form-fitting on the bottom. It was snug, as expected. What I did not expect was that the top half was incredibly loose on me. Perhaps this is meant for someone with a longer torso and bigger bust to fill the top half. The straps literally fell off my shoulders and the bralette was baggy on my bust and unflattering. I could not wear any of my bras, which I thought might help fill the top, because they showed in both the front and back, where the piece is low cut. I did not end up wearing this. It was not made for my body.

Felt so cool!
I LOVE this jacket. The pink absolutely glows! The perfect amount of character and edge for an otherwise conservative jacket. The fit is boxy. Collar is low-V so pay attention to what you wear underneath.

Pretty, but baggy at the bottom
This was an edgy, but still pretty and feminine shirt. It wasn't really my style - the ruched sleeves brought me back to the 2000s - but it was still flattering IF tucked in. The bottom of the shirt was baggy, which didn't look good untucked. Yet, tucking it fully was difficult due to the bulk of fabric.
