Yup, the chest is weird
Similar to many, many other reviews, I concur that the chest of this dress is very strange. In anticipation of that, I ordered a black bralette and I have a tag gun that I used to help keep it closed enough to weee out. The fabric is gorgeous. Just wish it fit more naturally.

Fun & Flattering
Second time I've rented this dress. Wore to a conference with a fancy dinner. The high low fit is very fun walking around in or walking down the stairs. Received several compliments and smiled a lot all night.

Perfectly preppy
Practically (or actually?) perfect in every way. Material, fit, travels well, length. Wait why am I returning this, maybe I'll go purchase to keep instead.

Giddy Up
Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous. Everything about it. The fit, the style, the fabric. The print has (what I believe to be) horse bridles on it, which was perfect for the Santa Fe event I attended. I probably would size down if I rented again. Mr. Lauren, great job on this one and if you could please make the same thing in other (more neutral, everyday prints) I would wear those to work on the daily.

A beautiful top for fall. I felt like the fit was a little tight, but that could be because I've been growing accustomed to everything being oversized and boxy. It's a very pretty top and the collar elevates it beautifully.

Pufffffffffy
I think I ordered too large of a size, but even if I would've sized down it would still have been super puffy. Like all around kind of a globe shape. Comfy and pretty, just not a keeper.

Santa Fe Chic meets Penny Lane
I received SO many compliments on this jacket that I bought. I was with a group of women and more than one told me “you know you have to buy that, right?” Strangers came up to me. A woman shouted down a hill. It was kinda wild. I was in Santa Fe for an event and was going for “Santa Fe chic” but as other reviewers noted, it’s a ringer for Almost Famous. I haven’t seen it but I’ll take their word for it. Warm and lovely, but would say it’s a bit small overall. Still bought it!

Step back, Laura Ingalls
Just kidding, Laura. You're an icon. But this dress gave little house on the prairie vibes which I was absolutely down for. I wore to an event in Santa Fe and felt immersed. I had a size larger than I would've liked to have rented, so I paired with a large belt in order to give more shape. The cut itself is so gorgeous that with the right size it would absolutely standalone without a belt. Very well made and designed. Heavy material, yet flowy. Keep doing goood work, Mr. Lam.

Santa Fe chic
It fits very nicely but was a little too form-fitting for me. I ended up wearing it underneath another rental because it was so cold outside and it layered nicely due to the tight fit.

Sized up for pregnancy belly
Beautiful dress, had to size up to fit over my belly which made the top too large but I still wore it anyway. Very eye-catching, gorgeous fabric and quality.

Love love love
I wore this blazer countless times while I rented it. Beautiful fit, beautiful color, beautiful everything. It is a snug fit and less comfortable than current trends, but is flattering and classic. Would likely purchase if price were lower (and I weren’t still trying to lose postpartum weight ;-P)

Flattering
Still struggling with my postpartum body and what I can wear confidently. This, while form fitting, somehow gave me confidence. I wore with spanx, and felt good enough to go out to dinner for a work function in it!

The jacket itself was beautiful but overall the body seemed loose, and the arms short. Felt like it laid strangely.

Comfortable but Unstructured
This jacket was okay. It wasn't structured as well as most other jackets I wear, but because of that it wa also quite comfortable. Maybe good for a travel day or a Friday.

Good fit, but didn't wear
I didn't end up wearing these because I didn't have a top that I felt I could wear with these to pull off showing the unique waste line (4 months postpartum). They fit well overall though, so hopefully I can revisit them again soon!

Postpartum Confidence
I had a company Christmas party that I needed to attend and was only six weeks postpartum. I was nervous about traveling and being judged by my colleagues for the first time on how much I had (or had not) bounced back from having a baby. When I tried this piece on, I smiled. I had something that didn't "hide" my body but rather emphasized the right parts. I had to put a small tag stitch at the bust line because wowsers this was still a work function. Very fun piece and I am forever thankful for the role it played in helping me get my confidence back. Oh but full disclosure- some spanx for sure played a role too. Ha!

Not super flattering
I wore this postpartum so take that for what it's worth in my review. Because of that, the fit wasn't the most flattering. The bottoms are fun though - reminds me of my youth and how we'd cut the bottom of our jeans to achieve a similar look!

Very pretty color. It looks good up top but because it's so big I think it's not very flattering overall. Good for conference calls!

Great Pregnancy Dress
I wore this so many times throughout my pregnancy. During middle stage (pictured) all the way through I’m a whale stage. I felt cute in it but had to wear a belt under my bust to give it some shape. Received many compliments. It travels very well and wrinkles don’t show significantly.

Cute but not flattering on Rear
I received many compliments on this during my later stages of pregnancy and I think that's the only way you can really pull it off because otherwise it's not super flattering (especially from behind). I felt like it made me look shapeless back there. Very comfy and good with a cardigan for video calls.

Date night before going into labor
We were able to sneak in one last date night before arrival of new baby 24 hours later! It ran a little large on me, but I was large in general by that point! Made me feel elegant as I could be.

Beautiful piece
Wore this for work and it is a beautiful piece. It’s tough to zipper on your own, unless you have flexible shoulders. Mine was on the too small side, and I would size up if I rented it again, but instead I just wore a jacket over it.

Fun!
I wore this for an all-female event for work where you could really kinda go wild with style. They were so fun and over the top, but I received many compliments and I felt amazing! They are very long so I actually bought 4 inch heels so that I could wear these. Also, they are quite heavy so I have to keep pulling them up throughout the night. But overall, a really fun pair of pants to wear!

I lived in this during the last weeks of pregnancy
I almost literally lived in this piece during the last few weeks of my pregnancy when nothing else fit or was comfortable. It's easy to put on, and you can accessorize to feel somewhat put together, or take a nap in it. Dealer's choice. It did seem to run a bit large (from RTR recommendations). I should've gone with my normal size pre pregnancy (medium) rather than the large that was recommended.

Great Fit for Work Dress
Wore this at 36 weeks and it fits very well. The length is long enough to remain conservative. Comfortable for sure. Only 4 stars because the tie at the back is annoying/a tad uncomfortable when leaning back against a chair. But overall I highly recommend!
