Summer chic
This set is so cute. I am not bold enough to wear the top without anything under it so I added a white camisole- but it was still super cute. The material is really thin which means it gets wrinkly easy but also is great for hot weather. Fits true to size and was a good length for my 5’4” frame so might be short on my taller ladies.

Perfect when you want to level up your work/conference attire
I’ve worn this to speak on a panel, to attend an awards dinner, and to attend a conference. It’s adorable, comfortable, and unforgettable. Fits TTS and has elastic waist and a belt so it allows for sizing flexibility.

Sparkly yet not over the top
Loved this too. Ended up wearing it multiple times to work and on the weekend. Definitely has some sparkle and a bit of a swing cut.

Slight witchy/pilgrim vibes but super flattering.
Hutch runs a little small even with the elastic but I loved this skirt and wore it multiple times. Would buy it but it is long on my 5’4”. Had to wear my highest wedge sandals.

It was comfortable and adequate for a workday. Not the most flattering - made me look pregnant. But it was fine.

Summertime in a boobalicious dress
The deep neckline was not appropriate for the work related dinner party so I added a yellow top. Still pretty cute. I think Hutch runs a tad small so if in between sizes I’d definitely size up. Overall I enjoyed it but it wasn’t perfect.

Beautiful, classy, and so smooth to the touch
I love this dress. I thought it was really flattering and a great neutral color. I wore it to an event and got several compliments. I will say if you're in between sizes, it runs a little big. And because it's knit, it has some stretch and is very forgiving.

So cute in theory. So bad in execution.
Th skirt fit great and was perfect. But for whatever reason, the T-shirt part of it was way too big and bulky. It was so un flattering. There was no way I was gonna wear it. I'm going to try and find another dress in the style because I thought it was really cute, but this was not a good one.

I didn't realize this was leather when I ordered it...
But I was really happy with it just the same. It is fun and a little edgy given the material but still very work appropriate given the length and style. I wore it to a meeting, but I could've just as easily worn it with a T-shirt and some fun sneakers. If it was TTS.

Perfect petite pants to dress up or down
The petite was the perfect length for my 5'4 frame to wear with flats. I could've down a short heel too. I don't know if I'd say it runs big exactly - I think it's supposed to feel a little slouchy but if you're in between maybe go down a size? The fabric was really nice and the color rich. I wore them to work, to a show, and out to dinner. Can easily be dressed up or down.

Comfortable and different dress
This fit TTS and wasn't too fitted. The sweater was light and soft - I'd say this is a good transition dress - too light for mid winter but too heavy for spring or fall. It was unique and fun but not the most flattering.

This is what my husband said when he saw me in this dress. He's not wrong - it definitely gives prairi vibes. It is definitely more fitted than I would've liked for a casual dress like this. Will not rent again.

It’s cold outside. This sweater is warm.
It’s warm and comfy like a hoodie but still dressy enough to wear for casual work meetings and on zoom. It was soft - which is nice bc sometimes RYR sweaters get a bit stiff - and true to size - baggy but not huge.

I should’ve known that if it looks frumpy on the model …
It’s frumpy. I think it’s the cut and not the design. In theory it’s really cute with a great pattern and interesting slits but in reality it is just cut really weirdly. Even though it fit just fine and actually with a little room to give the pockets were such that it made them look like they were sticking out and that it was too tight on my hips. And then it was just too loose going down. It couldn’t decide if it wanted to be an a line or a pencil skirt. It worked just fine for a day of random meetings, but not something I’d bother renting again.

Great long cardigan - definitely NOT a sweater dress
I’m not sure if it was another review or the description itself but somewhere suggested this could be worn as a sweater dress. I think if you are much shorter than me (and I’m only 5’4”) maybe you could get away with it but as you can see from the photo - the buttons end right at crotch level. I wore it with leggings and boots - it was soft, warm, and comfy and a nice rich color .

Gorgeous floral and curves for days
This stress is absolutely gorgeous. Photos don’t do it justice. And it really does give an hourglass figure like no other dress I’ve ever worn, but like everyone else the straps are very long. The dress is still beautiful enough, though that I did not dock a star from it. Made me feel tall and glamorous.

Beautiful color and gorgeous dressy lettuce
This gown is very sculptural and the color and material are very sumptuous. And I’m sure on some folks it would be fantastic. But I think I may be a little too petite/short because it just felt like I was wearing very fancy lettuce.

Fun twist on the denim dress, but leans dowdy
I want to love this dress so much and give it five stars and I felt pretty awesome in it when I was wearing it, but when I saw myself in photos later, I felt like it made me look frumpy. It’s particularly big in the bust area, which is surprising given that I am a 32F. That said I still really like it and would probably rent it again.

This is a perfectly lovely knit dress that is very comfortable and definitely conservative for an office. I had a little bit of gaping at the chest, even though it fit perfectly everywhere else.

Beautiful leather circle skirt. The color was great for a really subtle nod to the holiday season without overdoing it. I found it a little tight around the waist but fit perfectly everywhere else so it was fine. I got a ton of compliments on it

Cute but too short for a dress
I was originally going to wear this to work as a dress, but I was not at all comfortable with the length even though I'm on the short side. I ended up putting on black leggings and sneakers and just wore it out on the weekend. I liked it that way, and it was definitely comfortable and fun, but not anything to exciting .

I wore the matching set and overall liked it, but I was a little disappointed in how thin and stretchy the material was. Definitely gave yoga pant vibes. It also ran a little small.

Fun twist on workwear but runs small
I wore the matching set with a blazer to a work event. It's definitely a twist on every day workwear but the quality wasn't quite what I would expect for the price and the material is thin and stretchy almost like glorified workout clothes. It also runs really small, but I sized up and I was happy enough.

The color and the velvet and the sleeves are all very fun. But the fit is not that exciting and I feel like there are more flattering cuts out there. That said it was perfect for a holiday business event.

Nothing is more festive than sequined pants!
I wore these for the holiday party that I hosted. I needed something that I could wear flats because I was running around, but I wanted to be super festive. These were perfect. I paired them with a black velvet vest and they looked great. They’re on the shorter side so they might be cropped for anyone taller than 54. And every once in a while they did snag, but for the most part, they were pretty comfortable.

It’s a great KNIT dress
I always forget to look at what material dresses are. I did not realize when I ordered this that it was going to be knit. That said I liked it. The tulip sleeves are cute and give it a different feel. I would say it is more orange than true red but bright and fun.

Better in theory than reality - construction seems off
It's perfectly fine. But the way it's made leaves a little to be desired- it just comes across as a bit sloppy. Not sure if it's the material or the fit but it wasn't Quite as polished as I'd like. I also needed to wear a cami underneath to keep it remotely professional.

Perfect dress for your American Girl Doll’s goth era
It’s a cute dress but it was so short and small it was laughable. My current RTR order has 2 size 4s, a size 6, and a size small all that fit perfectly. So I got the small and could not even button it at all. Not sure if it’s this brand, or just this dress, but I honestly don’t think a large would’ve fit even.
