Rented for the weekend/everyday + 1 work day.
I think the pattern is really neat but I wasn't a fan of the quality of the fabric. For some reason it felt rather cheap to me. It is definitely long and had a slit down the middle of the leg that stops right above the knee. A touch of sexy, which is always good.

The detail where one can pin up the fabric at the neck is really interesting and awesome but unfortunately this top just billowed out at the sides and looked unflattering. It fit so I wore it a few times but as I kept wearing it I also became super cognizant of the stitching at the belly. Basically, if you have a little belly roll this top will exacerbate it. Sigh.

I had a Kate Spade dress recently that ran so small I couldn't even wear it, so despite reviews saying this top was large I still opted for my normal size of XL. Big mistake. It's HUGE. I looked pregnant. Wasn't super flattering but hey. At least it fit...?

Ordered this for work, weekend & out-on-the-town.
Now... I know ladies who order this dress will likely put it on and think, "WTF?" There are indeed some cut-outs and a slit in the back. However, just trust your gut, this dress is SO lovely. One thing to note: those slits in the back are rather methodical, i.e. they show a little bit of skin to be showy but the slits are not in areas where passerby could, say, see a roll. I also loved being able to rock this without a bra or with a cami and a bra. Dress it down with a headband and flip-flops or up with heels and eyeliner. Seriously, wore it about five times from an event to vacuuming my apartment. Loved every second in it!

LOVED this top!!!! So cute, so sexy, fit so damn nice. Rocked with high waisted skinny jeans and a high waisted skirt - all was fantastic! It is a tad cropped but if you have something high waisted, as mentioned, you're good to go. I received a ton of compliments and second glances wearing this top and it was simply amazing. The fabric is thick and the nice thing was that even with skinny jeans that might have caused a pooch in my belly, the top is such a statement that I highly doubt anyone noticed my belly pop. Awesome, highly, highly recommend!

Ordered for work/going around town.
The color of this skirt is super beautiful, I love a good high-waisted piece. However, the wrap nature of the skirt was sort of a problem - since two layers of fabric intersect to close the skirt, if I happened to receive a burst of wind one layer of fabric would fly up and the world could see up my leg. It was sort of distressing to keep having to focus on making sure my wrap didn't fly up or split when I sat down. The fabric is luxurious and really great and the wrap skirt nature may have just been my own oversight.

Ordered to wear to work/around town.
Eh, I should have probably sized up to 16 for this dress and it may have fit. I ordered a 14 and I couldn't zip it up. Reviews are correct, there is no stretch and the shell on the interior of the dress is rather stiff. There is also some shaping in the interior shell that makes the chest have points on the boob areas which was rather weird. Just wish I could have worn it functionally. :(

Tapestry Jacquard Dress

Size Worn: 14
Usual Size: 14

Rented for work and bouncing around town on the weekends.
Very nice, flowing dress! Fabric is a bit thin but there are two layers on the skirt portion so nothing is see-through. I was pleased with my ability to pull the dress up into a long top or to keep it elongated as a dress. I liked that the middle embroidery fell upon the natural waist which felt rather slimming. I will say that this dress really kills it when you pair it with other deeply saturated colors (think heels, teal earrings, a colorful headband). I went for that look to watch the World Cup at a bar and the outfit was amazing.

Rented this for everyday/work.
Runs EXTREMELY small. I couldn't even get the top over my head. The fabric is also very heavy and more suited for the fall or winter than summer. Construction did look beautiful and the fabric was of high quality but the sizing was shocking. Returned immediately.

Rented this for everyday wear & a weekend getaway.
Scarlett O'Hara vibes much? Absolutely loved this dress and got to prance around New Orleans in it. Wore with flip-flops and it still looked fabulous. The fabric is cotton and a bit heavy, a dash stiff. My one complaint was that the fabric that is supposed to pull down around the shoulder area felt a bit tight and kept riding up to look like a big bib-shape on my chest. I just had to rearrange it every so often. Loved the tea length, I never wear dresses like this and just loved it!

I rented this as a duel workwear & weekend getaway piece.
Loved this!! The bodice area over the chest is so detail oriented and fit like a dream. Loved the ballooning of the fabric at the wrist area. I received many compliments on the fit and pattern of the fabric. My only critique is that from the side I looked rather wide with the nature of the material, but I didn't really care. It is also worth it to note that the material felt rather thin and a bit cheap - the garment was made in China. However, the craftmanship was out of this world and made me feel amazing. Recommend!

I ordered this top as a duel workwear piece and to bring on a weekend getaway!
I loved this top! The fit was perfect - not too tight and loose enough to be low-key. The material is 100% silk and I was so pleased with the fact that it didn't wrinkle even after traveling in a suitcase. I received so many compliments from men and women alike on the design of the shirt. I did receive a few funny little comments that I looked like a hipster with the gold button at the very top of the shirt on the neck, but hey. I loved it!

I tried these on when I received my RTR shipment and returned immediately. Was renting for vacation.
I ordered these for some leisurely vacation pants and unfortunately I could tell by looking at them that they were going to be way too big. Even though they're high waisted they just ballooned out on me. I should have known by the cut that they would be rather flowy, and maybe it's my bad that I didn't really keep that in mind when picking the pants with my body type. I'd recommend people maybe size down one or two in order to make sure the waist is nice and fitted while the hip portion of the pants can be flowy.
