Red-Pink-gold iridescent sequins over black velvet
Very cute and a bit stretchy so I could squeeze an extra thing in there. I tucked in the chain to wear as a clutch. Wore with all black since it is so flashy.

I loved this dress from the minute I tried it on
Other reviews said to size down if in between sizes (& I’d you have smaller breasts) mostly due to the largeness of the top portion compared with the bottom, and I found this to be true. I would typically get Medium but I got a Small. If I got a medium, the bottom would have been a bit more comfortable but the top would have been way to big for my 34C/36B chest. The lower half was a tad snug esp at the bottom— couldn’t take large steps, but this will be true for other sizes as well, I am sure. The hips were snug as well, but the fabric is stretchy. I would have liked a bit more room. The top however was perfect for me in small. The plunging neckline was lower than anything I have ever worn but I used fabric tape to pull it in a bit so as to not show too much inner boob/cleavage. I love that this dress covers my knees. Looks a bit more formal this length, IMO, than it would at knee-length. Before I (hope to) buy this, I would want to try the medium and see if the bottom feels better, then just get the top taken in maybe.

Fits snugly but meant to
I love this too but the Buy cost is still too high for me to buy it. It fits snugly but never felt uncomfortable through the nighT, AND I danced in it for 2 hours and it never slipped down on the no-sleeve side. If you have a large chest or you probably want to size up.

Way too small in the torso length for 5’7”
I got a medium and I am usually a medium. This was so short in the torso — like a petite. I could not even pull it over my shoulders all the way. Definitely size up unless you are 5’4” or shorter. It was stretchy and somewhat fitted so I don’t think the size up would be too big overall. But who knows since I didn’t try the next size.

Something different on a cold day
I wore this 3 times, twice on cross country flights bc it is cozy and warm. Had to wear a tank or tee underneath bc of the side slit.

So pretty but just didnt fit right
This dress is just so unique and festive. I wanted to love it. I am btwn a 6 and 8, and almost always a medium, sometimes small but never a large. I tried the 6 (42) and I could barely get it over my hips. I exchanged for th 8 (44) and while it fit, it was still snig in the hips bc the lining didnt stretch at all, and it peeked out a tad. Funny though the top of the dress in both sizes would work, with the arms being just a tad snug in the 6/42 on my very thin arms. I didnt wear the dress.

Short for a 5'8" person size Medium/6-8
I didn't end up wearing this because it wa too short for me at 5'8" tall. Needed a high waist bottom to make it work.

Pretty but runs a bit loose even in smaller size
I am usually a 6 in dresses but sometimes 8. In reading the reviews, I read that this runs big, so I went with a six. When I tried it on, unfortunately, the top was loose in the waist was about an inch or so too loose. To help you decide, I am a 28” waist and I think this is 30”. I am 5’8” and it runs to floor so would be very long on anyone under 5’5” who doesn’t want to wear stilettos. IMO, made my hips look bigger but in an unflattering way. I didn’t end up wearing it… returning it right away.

Such a comfortable fabric
And the shoulders stayed put. I didnt even have to unzip to pull up and on. It wasn't form fitting but was close enough to my body that it didn't feel loose. I even lounged afterward without feeling like I needed to get out of it. Two women at different times complimented me on the dress. I ended up buying it.

Sexy without being risqué
I was worried that the open chest area would show too much cleavage or that I would feel “exposed” because I don’t usually show cleavage. But I was not overexposed and felt super sexy. It wasn’t too short , not a mini for me. About 3” above the knee. The bell sleeves were fun and don’t interfere with my dinner plate, thankfully. My date LOVED the dress, and I felt great in it.

Liked but didn’t love
Fitted but stretchy. Loved the color which is a bit more purple that it shows in the RTR photo. What I didn’t like was the material — scratchy.

Dress it up or down
I wore this with jeans, and it also would look nice with mid to high-rise trousers/work pants. The sweater is a tad short for my height with my mid-rise jeans…came right to top of pants, so I wore a black tank underneath. Very cute though and I would wear this again if I owned it. Also got a few compliments.

Cute but too snug for me
It is a fabric that stretches a bit, but it was too fitted for my liking. I wanted more of a slightly loose jogger. It wasn’t loose in the waist, which often happens for me when the legs are snug.

Flirty or casual cozy sweater
Would like to own this sweater. Wasn’t itchy, and I am sensitive to scratchy fabrics, esp wool. Good length. I usually wear medium but given other reviews I ordered a small, and I am glad I did. But I am between a 6 and 8. 5’8”.

Supple, comfortable, eye-catching
I definitely enjoyed wearing this jacket. I felt fashionable and sexy. I noticed women admiring the jacket (and the Tory Burch purse). I wore a light t-shirt underneath and had quite a bit of room around the waist still. My waist is 28"-29", and it seemed about 2" too loose to be more tapered but still have room to wear a heavier top underneath. I love that it dips below my bum in the back. It is very flattering, and I imagine it would be for a variety of body types.

Sexy top. A little too much of an angle on the off -the-shoulder side.
I thought the side that was off the shoulder was cut a little too low. I felt like it was going to slip down below my strapless bra. But my bust is not large, so maybe it would stay up better on someone with a bigger bust. I like the style though. The sleeves are fun but be careful to not get them in your food!

Very soft fabric. Easy to wear. Comfortable and great pattern.
I could wear this to work or for a luncheon, dinner or date. Versatile. The 'cape' portion would fall over my shoulders here and there. I would recommend this item.

very cute but Runs short
I didn't end up wearing this because I was not comfortable showing a bit of my midsection, and I didn't have a tank top that matched o wear underneath. See other reviews and photos. I didn't submit a photo. I am 5'7" and chose a medium. It fit otherwise .

Fun, trendy, unique
My go-to is typically more classic, but with RYR, I can do more trendy styles bc I don't have to commit - right?! It was fun to wear, and I felt 'hip'. My 19-yr old daughter said it looked "bougie", as in bourgeois, I am guessing, which she described as a good thing. Haha. *On me, the jacket looked better open than zipped. 5'7", Size 8 typically. Wore a medium.

Very sexy and sophisticated look
I would wear this to a cocktail party or formal occasion. It is striking. Fitted. Rushing along seams makes for a flattering silhouette and comfortAble wear. I am 5'7" and 1 40lbs. I usually wear a size 8, and the medium for perfectly. Length was about, mid-thigh, as shown in RTR image. The new Kline plunged a little lower than in photo; if you have a large bust, your cleavage would be prominent.

To show off your figure
This dress was a bit too short for my 5'7" self. If I were ten years younger (I am 45 and don't mind dressing sexy), maybe I would feel more comfortable in it. I was not crazy about the fsbric. It was heavier material than it seems in he photo and a bit stiff...not soft. It was a bit tight for me at the bottom hem. I didn't end up wearing it after trying it on.

Sexy, feminine, tailored fit, eye-catching
I ended up buying this because I love the design, color combo and fit. I am 5'7", 140-145lbs, 36B bust, 28" waist, 36" hips. It was fitted all around but had a little more room below the waist than above. Sitting down, the skirt moves up quite a bit. I wore hosiery so not revealing. I will wear this year-round with/without hosiery, with knee or ankle boots, and can wear with heels. Will get use out of this dress!
