Just hanging out and killin' it in the city.
Gorgeous fabric, love how it hangs like a cross between a romper and a short kimono. A little low cut so you might want to use fabric tape or wear a flesh colored cami underneath to keep from giving people a free show.

Beach vacay and back to school
Super cute, but ran a little big for me. Had to keep hitching it up because I didn't have a belt that would look good with it. Guess I should change that.

Light and comfortable, but needs an extra button to hide the girls
Beautiful shirt, but runs a little big. I got this to wear on errands, taking kids to school and dinner with family. The main thing was that it's highest button allows the girls to show more than I'm comfortable with for daytime stuff with kids and family.

Fun Summer Purse
Absolutely loved it. Elevated jean shorts/white tee to another level. Also, I met a lot of people because of this purse. Amazing how many strangers would stop me in restaurants and shops to ask where I got it. If you're shy, don't rent ! : )

Great for beach vacation, or just everyday
Loose over midsection, floaty to the feet, and ample room in the bust. The fabric felt so light and airy, even in 95F weather! One of my favorite RTR pieces. There are a couple of safety pins someone used on the inside of the bust, I guess to keep it from flapping open, but I didn't notice them until I took the dress off! I am guessing they worked as intended : ) I wore it to dinner at the beach, and to a neighborhood progressive dinner.

Preppy and Boho at Once!
This dress is more of a cream color than the bright white that the photo appears to show (at least on my screen). And it is absolutely gorgeous. It is very flattering and lightweight, and while has a nice silhouette, it also has room so that it does not hug your midsection (for which I am very thankful). I wore to "country club casual" happy hour, and to a party. This could definitely be worn for daytime to work, though. Rent this. The compliments never stopped coming.

Pretty yet casual
Wore with jeans and Tory flats to meet a friend for drinks. Very feminine, not too low cut. Pretty silhouette, almost kimono-like in the arms.

Cute but...
Not for the long waisted, or anyone who isn't excited to show off the abs/tummy area. It is very short. I should have looked more closely at the photo. Tried on for 10 seconds, promptly sent back. Lesson learned!

Lightweight and different
I loved the weight of it, perfect for a spring jacket. Embroidery is very pretty. The ruffle down the middle is pretty much invisible, but that's ok. Nice basic piece, I wore twice and sent back.

Perfect size!
Love the color, it goes surprisingly well with so many pieces. Best of all is the crossbody strap and size. Perfect for running errands and even for meeting friends for drinks. I hated to send it back.

Beautifully feminine with a little edge!
I wore this for an '80s party, it was perfect! Fit was great for a girl with curves. I felt it camouflaged my "mummy tummy" and was very comfortable. I danced all night!

Beautiful details, comfortable and flattering. WIN
The delicate scalloped pattern of the fabric is really subtle and beautiful. Perfect for a Valentine's wine tasting/dinner but I would rent this for a variety of occasions. I am self-conscious about my mid section, and I felt this dress smoothed me out and flattered my figure.

Cute but nothing special
I liked the bow top shoulders, but in general the fit was kind of strange. Neither flattering nor unflattering, but a little tighter through the abdomen but looser around the shoulders. It was cute but I wore it and was like "eh."

Dressed up or dressed down, compliments galore
I wore this paired with skinny jeans, TB sandals and some boho feather earrings for a casual happy hour. Compliments wouldn't stop and I didn't mind a bit! Then I wore yesterday with jeans and brown leather boots for running errands and shopping, because why not? Compliments from strangers and friends I bumped into, as well. It's comfortable, and although I'd had reservations about how the color would look on me, paired with a cheery pink blush and a deeper neutral lip, it was perfect. Fit was great and flattering for those of us who are trying to camouflage a mummy tummy. Tip: The burgundy lace trip is beautiful, but was not pressed down when it arrived. I simply laid the tunic out flat, placed a clean handkerchief over the spot that needed flattening, and then placed a heavy book on top while I showered and did my makeup. Presto! I would be nervous to take an iron to this delicate piece. Rent it!!

Cozy and warm. Ruffle sleeves give it a little "oomph." Not special but great for ski vacay.

Perfect funky/dressy concert dress
Comfortable, adorable and high quality material that was very breathable. I was worried that I would get hot, but not at all. Wore with tassel earrings that matched the smocking color. Wore it to a concert and another night out to dinner. Would buy this one.

It's cute but not sure it's worth a coveted spot in my bag. It's cropped a little shorter than I would like. Wore once sent back the next day.

Almost Tricked My Friends Into Thinking I'm High End
Beautiful bag in great condition. A little smaller than expected but that is actually a good thing, I wasn't looking for a diaper bag. Love the boho-preppy-milfy vibe, and very versatile. Recommend this.

Say Yes to This Dress
This dress is gorgeous. GORGEOUS. Sparkly and very flattering for us girls that have curves. I've recently gained some weight and have been struggling to be happy in my clothes, but this dress turned my pink, lip-glossed frown upside down. The interior lining is very soft (no scratchy sequins on your skin), comfortable and praise sweet Baby Jesus, has some stretch. Might need some double sided tape to cover up the girls, though. The length for me was perfect, not dragging at all (which means my late night flip-flop switch might get exposed : ( Overall, "old Hollywood feel" + comfort + hiding baby pouch = a glamorous, happy girl.
