Felt like a tent
It fit so poorly in the shoulders and waist. I felt like I was wearing an ill-fitting wool poncho. I wore it once for less than an hour and I just felt so frumpy that I had to take it off. If you're taller than me, you might find that it works better. I don't usually have a proportion problem with my clothes even though I'm short, but that probably played a factor here.

Tres chic
Runs large in the bust if you're hourglass or pear shaped. Super cute and very work appropriate but also transitions well into day time.

Pretty dress with interesting cut. More formal-looking than you think.
Very pretty dress that fits very well. I wore shapewear underneath but the way the fabric is cut lets you get away with a lot. I got it for work but it ended up being a little dressier than I thought so I wore it to a semi-fancy affair (orchestra). The split in the front looked like it had been repaired previously with bright red thread which threw me off a little but it's not something anyone else would notice. Overall, really loved this dress.

Perfect statement piece to spice up your work wardrobe.
I ADORED this. This will be in permanent rotation. The fabric is nice and thick and the peplum is so cute and jaunty. It's very stretchy so maybe order a size down if you know you've had problems in that area before. There's nothing bad to say about this adorable top.

Great for work
Great for work. Fabric was nice and thick. I went with the RTR siize recommendation and the 50 ended up being too big for me (I kind of looked like Uncle Fester) but it didn't stop me from loving the outfit. If I rent again, I'll be sure to pay better attention to the sizing.

Fantastic
I loved these pants so much I think I might buy them. Fantastic fit in the hips and thighs and, at 5'3", it was just the right length to wear with pumps to work.

Cute in theory
I can see what they were trying to do here but I felt like the execution left a little to be desired. The color is GORGEOUS. The asymmetrical neckline is so interesting and unique but dips too low for modesty. It also shows the top of your bra and I felt like I was constantly adjusting my dress. The shoulders also felt a little roomy even though the dress fit well. If I had a cocktail party, I'd consider ordering this again but not for work.

Chic and sexy
Chic with a slight touch of sexy for work. I ended up ordering a size up because my normal size was not available but I still loved it. I'm still keeping this in my loves so I can order my true size (and possibly buy it). It's that cute.

So beautiful, such disappointment
This dress was gorgeous in person. Pictures really do not do it justice. However there is absolutely no give in the skirt. I almost cried because the dress was so lovely but it barely went over my hips while the upper part of the dress was too big. This would be amazing on a more petite person or someone with an athletic body type. I'm still giving 5 stars because the dress is beautiful and well made.

Understated Glam
This dress was absolutely perfect for the gala I attended. Very classy but at the same time very sexy which was a pleasant surprise. Completely embodies less is more. The simplicity of the dress allows you to go all out with your accessories, shoes, makeup, etc without it all ending up too much. The top is just low cut enough to give a healthy showing of cleavage if you're busty like I am and fit so well I didn't need to wear a bra(!!). The neckline is so elegant, though, that the cleavage looks so tasteful and adds to the overall appeal. The dress is tight but not too tight. Definitely wear shapewear (like Spanx) underneath to smooth out your figure because the fabric can be a tad unforgiving, especially after you eat. The split up the side was super sexy and gave the right amount of oomph needed to bring this to glam rather than just a nice dress. Totally happy with what was supposed to be my back up dress.
