Short.
Way too short for anyone over 5'9", I imagine. The seam for the flutter-hem hit about mid-bum. Would never work, even on holiday.

Easily adaptable
Rented this for a wedding that unknowingly was quite casual. With a swap to flat sandals, I was classily attired without being overdone. The wrap style fit well for larger bust and the length was perfect.

Little too distressed.
Really lovely jeans that fit well and have inspired a Current/Elliot shopping spree. Sadly the right knee was incredibly open (see photo). OK for hanging around my house, but not the look I'm going for out of it. Size 28 if curious

Didn't wear.
Way too short for tall ladies. The ruffle hem hit at my waist. Not flattering, didn't wear.

Fun embroidery, nice lightweight material, but a little large. Loved it in the mirror, but dang it photographed as massive. Returned immediately!

Big The Kooples fan, so new this top would work. Just long enough for tall ladies, but the style would be better suited for a couple inches shorter frame. Still wore it to work and loved it!

Didn't wear - odd color.
Really detailed top, but the colors just weren't right for me. The "yellow" is almost creamy, and it was just a little weird sans tan. Also not ideal for tall ladies with larger breasts... one of those "could be pregnant" tops.

super cute, but short for tall girls
Really lovely, great material. Not ideal for taller women, as it rides up in the back (even with high waist jeans!) when sitting. Not ideal for work in that regard.

Runs large
Rented the large, as my long arms typically necessitate a larger size. The large was massive. Couldn't wear as it looked like a sack.

Great fit, wonderful fabric.
This dress fit beautifully. I couldn't find a bra that would work with the side cutouts, and was shockingly able to go without. For a DD, that never happens! The fabric is light and perfect for an outdoor summer wedding. The mixture of colors in the pattern allow for fun accessories if you're looking for more than just neutrals. I wore tan ankle-strap heeled sandals, lime green clutch and a white blazer when the sun went down. Wish I owned this!

Fun and easy.
Definitely a little tighter than normal for my DD chest, but it was nice not needing to worry about a bra! Perfect for a not-too-dressy wedding paired with leopard print heels and simple jewelry.

Fantastic dress.
Tad short for a tall girl, so just take care when sitting. So flattering. The 8 fit great and was not too tight, but after a while of wearing felt it stretched just a bit.

Great dress, not right for my body type.
I'm 5'11" with a long waist and the dress didn't sit as well as it could have. I added my own belt for definition, but not the best dress I've ever worn. Good quality and great material.

My girls :)
Like many I'm sure, I tear open my RTR boxes as soon as I get home to see if the dresses will fit. This dress unfortunately made me look a little prego at first try-on. Solved the issue with a grey patent belt, threw the dress in a garment bag and left for the airport. Day of the wedding, the dress didn't make me look prego anymore! I think it just needed to de-wrinkle itself. Wore with buff patent heels and statement earings... no belt necessary.

Seeing all of my friends, and feeling great!
Wore this to a friend's winter wedding welcome dinner party. The dark purple color was fantastic, and the fit was extremely flattering. Only problem was that it was SHORT. Like can't raise my arms short. I rocked it anyway, received a ton of compliments, and kept my arms down.

Wore this to a friend's April wedding. May have felt slightly inappropriate for their Catholic ceremony, but the dress was perfect for the reception. Although spanx were a God-send, with the mutliple layers of the dress, I felt like I had a lot on, and slightly bulky from that. Overall, great dress.
