So pretty and yet ...
I rented this dress in two sizes (6 & 8) for a mermaid themed party. The dress is beautiful and photographs well, however it's only a 3 out of 5 for me for functionality. One point is off for the discomfort the sequins on the neck & chest area caused. They are scratchy and I couldn't wait to take it off at the end of the night. The second point is off for -as others have noted- the slip underneath is extremely ill fitting. The breast area is too big and loose and the mid/bottom is restrictive and tight and creates an unflattering belly pulling. I spent a lot of the night subconsciously covering my tummy as in the photo. I ended up wearing the larger of the two sizes I ordered and the same loose/tight slip issue happened in the size 6 as the size 8. It's such a pretty look but not super functional.

Sexy knit dress
This dress was warm and fun and sexy for a winter dinner out. The off the shoulder look is hard to maintain as shoulder area rides up as you move your arms and, you know, exist. Also, the nature of the knit fabric hugs curves, and it showed off my tummy- should have worn shape wear- but the knit dark fabric is better than other materials at masking that somewhat.

So many buttons
It is a pretty pattern, but ultimately it's just a blouse with a ton of buttons.

Almost there
I had to pin the jacket in at the waist to get the desired "structured" effect. Also, the shoulder pads are MUCH more prominent than the photos show. If I owned this piece, I would get it tailored to fit my body perfectly. But it was fun to wear for a day.

Super cute
I was concerned that the gold embellishment would look cheesy in person, but it was cute and easy to style. The bag was versatile and also roomy enough to hold essentials.

Pretty color and texture
This sweater is very cute, the covered buttons and texture are pretty. I liked styling this sweater with brown pleather pants for a monochrome look. I didn't give 5 stars bc The neckline is somewhere between a loose crew and off the shoulder - kind of awkward to find the right undershirt, and Long waisted folks take note that it's pretty cropped.

Super cute, size up if yr bloated
These were stylish and cute and just edgy enough. I'm normally a 6/8 or 29 and I sized up to 30 cuz I was bloated this week and they were great for that plus with a belt after bloating went down.

Structured denim
I really liked this top. It was cool, fun and polished. I found it looked best with light colored / white / ecru jeans similar to the RTR photos- I couldn't get it to work with denim or dark colored bottom. The fit worked with my body type (curvy on bottom, small on top). It made my waist look small and hid my stomach poof kinda.

Edgy and cute
The grommets give these jeans edge. They’re really cute, very easy to style, and comfortable to wear. The grommets provide a lot of air flow, lol. I wore them on a cold day without tights underneath and I was chilly. I didn’t give 5 stars only bc they’re kindof short for avg height women. I’m 5’7, and in heels, the length grazed just above where I’d want them to hit. But overall these were super fun.

Flattering and easy to style
This top is flattering, customizable to your fit, and easy to style. The straps are adjustable, and the peplum has zippers (which I thought was a little weird at first), but it allows you to create the kindof flounce look you want from the peplum part. The top held me in without wearing a bra. It is very easy to wear for a date, out to drinks, wherever. My only comment is that it’s not a true black, it’s more like a washed dark gray.

Cool witch vibes
This dress was surprisingly easy- it looked polished enough for a gallery event, and felt comfortable enough to wear all evening. It was easy to style and felt nice on. I was worried the lace up top would look too “festival” but it worked !

Pretty, but be warned
This top is a really pretty fabric and looks good in pictures. But it’s totally unlined, has raw edges, and is unsupported. Surprising that it retails for almost $700 bc it’s very basic. I’m a small B cup with a long torso, the straps were way too long with no adjustments and the bust area was too big, I was on nip watch all night. Pretty top but take warning!

So cute, barely fits a tampon
The color is fab, it’s great for a night out. I had to hold my iPhone all night tho, bc it doesn’t fit in the purse.

Loved the pants, but they run short
I got the set and loved it! I’m 5’7” and the pants are really short. I had to pull them low on my waist to avoid an awkward mid ankle length look. So many compliments, very cool looking, and comfortable otherwise.

Size down at least 2 sizes
I sized down from 29 to 28 based on other reviews, and these were still enormous. Otherwise, I liked the fabric and color and intent with the baggy style.

Minimalist and sexy
I have a long torso and accidentally rented the regular fit- it was still comfortable and looked chic.
