Cute for summer
I like them. They're not spectacular but good enough that I bought them but only because they were under $30. Lightweight for summer Can wear everyday or work Not the most sheer/ see through but not opaque so you need something that blends with your skin tone under them especially in the sun. I'm usually a 2 in dresses or XS/0 depending on brand in pants and got the 2 in these.

Polished perfection
I love this one. I wear a lot of button downs so it's nice to have one that's more figure flattering and feminine. I wear a small in tops consistently, and I'm wearing a 4. One reviewer mentions it's tight in the arms/ shoulders it is borderline for me too so if know you have bigger upper arms or shoulders, maybe size up. I wore for everyday but could work for the office too. Crisp cotton Wrap style Perfect crop length not belly revealing but great with high waist bottoms

Mature Women's approved crop Top
Despite the fact that this reminds me of a shirt I would've worn in the third grade, I really like this one. And being 51, it's not often I can wear a crop top but this one can work for any age group. It's polished and classy. If you don't like clothing on the preppy side, you may not like this. I got my usual size small and fits great

Cute
Living in Florida, I love a linen pant. These are good. Not see through. I usually wear a 0 in pants and am wearing a 25. Maybe I could try a 26 because they seem to run short on me at 5'5" which isn't usually a problem. I'd recommend for classic styling that's easy but pulled together. Great for travel, too *Shirt I have on in photo is from rtr too. It's fantastic. TWIN I think is the brand. Anyway, it's under my other reviews

Love it
I love a timeless white button down shirt. Dress it up, leave it casual: Whatever you want. This is a fantastic one because you can tie it in the front or not. I often don't tie shirts in the front because it feels too Ellie May. But this one feels chic with the back tail of sorts. I went with my usual size small. I definitely recommend if you like timeless pieces. I'm 51 but this would look good on any age

Size up!
I really like this one. I'm always looking for casual everyday. Looks without looking sloppy but livable. This fit the bill. I'm 51 So it's mature approved in that it's not flimsy or see-through. It's not too young and it's not frumpy. Perfect. I'm sure you can dress it up or keep it casual. I'm a true 2 in dresses, often a 0 in pants but needed a 4 in this and even that is pushing it so I would say unless your waist is tiny tiny, size up.

For the right person, not me
It's okay. It's a little short if you're mature, and low cut in a frumpy kind of way. This color palette is not flattering to me either. I only wore lounging around the house. And it's a bit scratchy.

Polished Casual But Small Arms/Shoulders
Polished Casual. Great piece but I'd likely order one size up in the future only because the arms and shoulders are borderline too small so layering is tricky. Comfortable enough for a flight and travel though. Pros: soft and move able fabric Can easily be casual pulling to get an outfit with much effort Great transitional piece so could work for chilly early summer nights to winter or fall Cons: Slim arms and shoulders so layering needs to be light like a tank or tee Also, makes it difficult to push or roll up steeves 110 lbs ish 32 C and a true small most often Might try medium in the future

Comfy chic
Given I have a small frame, I tend not to do oversized too often and definitely don't do drop shoulder, but I really wanted to make this one work because it's so comfortable and casual chic at the same time. I love it. I tried various pants and ended up with a cropped so I didn't feel like I had so much material on because it is that classic poplin cotton feel. Rolled the sleeves up too to help with fabric overload. Crisp, oversized, comfy and chic.

Too heavy and poofy
This is an XS but it feels huge and I feel big in it so maybe it's not great for small frames. I'm 5'5" and about 110-112 lbs or so. The fabric is heavier to me too and it's uncomfortable In Florida weather. I feel like I should be on a prairie. Just not for me

Florida approved cotton
This one is a little fussy for my personal style but it's still a great piece and I was able to keep it casual enough. I wear a lot of linen but if all cottons were similar to this weight, I'd wear it more often. It's lightweight enough to wear in high temps and humidity but durable enough that is not sheer or worry about what's under it. I also like buttons on the skirt for a more casual look. This could work at the office just as easily as everyday polished wear I'm wearing a small. 5'5" 34B 115 ish lbs 34.5" hips. Maybe I could do an XS but I don't know.

Easy
Living in Florida in a laid back beach community, this one was perfect and so easy. I could wear it anywhere and have already worn it a few times. I'm surprised because it's so unassuming. Worn to beach without a shirt but I tend to wear some sleeve for sun coverage or when places blast the AC. I'm wearing the small at 5'5" 115 ish lbs 34 B 34.5 hip. I typically wear a 2 in dresses.

Cute but cotton a bit heavy for hot climate
This has a really nice structure to it and I love a collar with tasteful puff sleeves. It fits tts. What I don't like is the cotton is heavy for my climate in Florida and you can't unbutton or do anything with the bottom. I don't care for this much material without that as an option for everyday life but would wear it to dinner out or something. This dress has a lot going for it though and if your frame can handle midi length cotton, I'd say it's a go. I'll wear it strictly because I like the upper portion. Given that I live in a sub tropical climate, I don't think it's a great vacation to tropical island piece 115lbs 34 B 34.5" hips

Made my stomach look huge
There's a lot to like about these: how they drape, they're fully lined and, the slits in the hem. But in my usual size and my 50 year old body, they enhanced a pooch on my small 115lbs body. Not for me. Maybe I need to size up to a 4 or again, Maybe they're just meant for a younger frame with nothing to hide. I see the potential in them 5'5" 115 34.5 hip. 2 were too small and made enhanced my small and well earned pooch

Chic pajama bottoms
These do look like pajama bottoms but they're super comfortable. I'll wear these around the house or walking the dog etc. great for vacation. I'd love to get the matching top but it hasn't been available yet . They are tight in the waist so I'm glad I got the small though often I wear a 2 or xs in pants. Good length at 5'5". I think this is great for vacation, pool side, hot climates and a very laid back look

Cute and comfortable
This is actually a cute dress especially if your 45 + because it's the right length, with the right kind of structure. The belt and front allow you to eat and breath with no concern about shapewear etc. If this were a more vibrant shade, I would buy it but it's navy and it makes it a bit less exciting to me. Comfortable, adjustable belt for shape, and no worries about what you wear under though is priceless though.

Perfect
Wow, this dress is fantastic. I'm really looking for everyday pieces for a hot laid back town I live in without any fuss of under garments etc. just throw on and go. Here's what's great -Well made with a bit of structure but soft and moveable at the same time. -I have small hips and small behind so longer fabrics can swallow me but this has buttons I can open so I don't feel drenched in fabric -buttons all the way so you can adjust the look for the occasion from a completely effortless day look to the office. Breakfast brunch or dinner. Vacation or not. Perfect piece I got the size 4 but normally wear a 2. I'm 5'5" 115 34 B 34.5" hips. I think the 2 would be too tight in the dress. Belt allows for adjustment

I love this dress. It has so much going for it: no worries about under garments, well structured but comfortable for every day wear, versatile, fits tts, adjustable buttons throughout entire dress, nice shade, adjustable belt. Really, this is just a great piece for every day life in a warm climate. If your over 45 or 50 +, it's golden. Right sleeve length, belt is such that you can eat and have shape and skip any shapewear. It's just lovely in it's simplicity.

This is minimalistic but chic. I'm 50 but don't want to wear frumpy dress and though the shade is neutral, it's figure flattering with the belt. It's comfortable without an overwhelming amount of fabric. Polished casual. Really liked this one. If it were blue or coral, I would buy it. It's definitely a classic.

At 50, this is a great dress because it feels casual chic, easy to wear but yet. it's figure flattering. I wore with a denim jacket. If I was 25, I may have felt it too safe or conservative. At 50, it's perfect because it's classy and not frumpy.

Adorable
I loved this top. I found it to run true to size. If I sized down, I think the elastic would have been too tight around my arms and I don't have large arms. The length was great and I didn't feel weighed down with material when leaving untucked with is my preference. It has a nice stretch to and is a durable thick material but not heavy. The floral motif and puff sleeve are tasteful, feminine and sweet, which can always be a concern when you have puff sleeves with printed tops. The only con was the hook and eye closure in the front would not stay closed. It's okay to leave it open and it works but it won't be as polished. I would definitely recommend this one.

What you expect
This is a great leather jacket and exactly what you expect. I don't wear black because it's too harsh but I love this style coat so I really appreciated the dark blue. I wore it over a tee so my normal size worked but I think you could size up and be fine if you wanted to wear over a sweater. Either will work.

Adorable and gorgeous shade
I love this top! The color is beautiful and the style is classic and sweet. I will say that because it is cotton, it is borderline feeling tight across the chest so if you're between sizes because of your bust, I'd consider going up a size. It's not long enough to tuck in and is a shorter box style cut, which I prefer because I don't like a lot of long material and I don't like tucking shirts in for causal days. Very sweet.

Cute but didn't work for me
This is cute but for me, I didn't like the length. It doesn't look right untucked, the French tuck doesn't really work with the high low hem and I didn't want to tuck in. I think if you like to tuck in your top, this can be very cute for an amped up every day casual look.

If you're not big busted, you can get away with no bra or something close to it if you prefer at least petals. It is short being in my forties but for a date night, I'd do it. Perhaps if I'd tried the small it would be a bit longer but then I'd fear it'd lose its shape. It's a cute dress and not much more.

I'm 5'6" with a 26 waist and 34.5/35 hip and these pants are like clown pants on me in a 0. If you have small hips or a small tushy like I do, they may not be the best pant for you unless there is a 00, which I didn't see.

A classic.
This piece is a classic. It's lined and feels quality. I can wear a 0 or 2 depending on the brand. There was no 0 available so I went with a 2. It worked but I think a 0 would have too since there was plenty of room. For reference, I wear a 34 B cup 25.5 waist and 34 hip. There was a ton of room for my hips and waist but because of the tie, it worked. Not too dressy and not too casual. Just right. I like to look a bit more polished so I ironed it and the belt. This is a must if you want the dress to look like it costs as much as it does!
