Cool jeans
Most of the compliments I got on these were from girls in their 20s. So that tells you who these are mostly appealing to! I like them a lot more than I thought I would/ though the denim is a bit heavy/thick. I ended up wearing them a bunch of times over the several weeks I had them. Almost tempted to buy …

These were less impressive than I imagined based on other reviews. I didn't end up wearing them.

Cute but not my fave
The neck wrap seemed like it should be removable - there were buttons, but then it seemed sewn if glued to the jacket (probably by RTR). I didn't love it.

Pretty but tiny chest area
Fit was great other than the chest area being too small. Couldn't even fit a strapless bra inside the dress. I didn't wear it

Not flattering
This was definitely a size too big, and was just too much fabric for me. It did nothing for me and I never even wore it - I recieved it new with tags and sent it back the same...

Not flattering
This really accentuated the lumps. Felt like it would be perfect for a 70s party of some kind. I was getting Mrs. Roper vibes.

Thick fabric, but overall nice
This had a very tough zipper - it was serious work to get it zipped (thin, metal pull and hard to move). The fabric was heavy. Nice for March but would probably feel too heavy for summer. (daughter is wearing it in the photo - she's 2" taller than me)

Beautiful pattern, lots of compliments
I wore this to a party earlier in the year and then ended up buying it and wore it for my daughter‘s rehearsal dinner. It was just a backyard party with a pizza truck so it had the perfect vibe of eye catching and casual at the same time. I don’t love the backless because I can’t wear a normal bra, so that’s the only drawback for me.

This was too long so I didn’t wear it.
Overall, this was a pretty fabric, but the big target on the stomach just ended up looking very strange and the dress was much too long for me so it was puddling on the floor anyway. I wasn’t willing to take the time to try to hem it with fashion tape Because I looked like I had a target on my stomach.

I lived in this dress this summer
I wore this dress constantly this summer, I ended up buying it. It washes very nicely and holds up really well and it just looks dressed up on any day of the week.

Great for formal wear and for every day
The only drawback of this coat is that it weighs a ton, so it ends up feeling a little more bulky than I would prefer. It looked very cute though. I wore it to a couple of different events where I was dressed more formally, but I also ended up wearing it with wide leg jeans, and it looked very cool for that too.

Strange top needed fashion tape
This was such a pretty dress, and pockets! Had to fold the top twice and tape it because the top of the dress was strange high and gaping.

Cool design but unflattering
I should have taken a photo of this one, but I never actually wore it. The embroidery in the center was so bulky and after RTR washed it the shrinkage of the background fabric and the embroidery caused weird puckering

Beautiful dress - tight chest
This dress is gorgeous, but as a 34/36 D, it just smashed my chest into a flat blob. I run an 8-10 generally, and the XL just fit perfectly (other than the chest). My daughter insisted I don't wear it. Not flattering. If you have a smaller chest this should be great! But don't order your usual size (I'd typically go M or L)

Shapeless and larger than size guide
The embroidery on this is gorgeous, but the L indicated a 10. I'm an 8-10 and I could have fit two of me in this dress.

Only OK. Uncomfortable zip area
This was surprisingly nicer than, for instance, a Hill House nap dress. But also substantially less comfortable. The fabric is thicker, the waist/skirt area is a little more fitted which is nice it gives less of a blob effect than a nap dress. But the top of the zip/hook under my left are

Very pretty, easy dress
Planning to wear this next week to my daughter’s bridal shower. It’s flattering and comfortable. Needs so ironing for sure!

Runs small!
I assumed the XL would be too big, but I had wanted to try this dress so I went ahead and ordered it anyway. I can barely zip it! It looks great in pictures, but my 24 year old daughter thought the pattern was so ugly - the pattern gives the illusion its embroidery and the printed aspect cheapens it. Daughter: “if you saw this in a forever 21 you would walk right past it” - I’m clearly being swayed by the brand. But the cut and photogenic nature are great.

Strange fabric
The fabric feels like you’d make a parachute from it. Heavy and stiff and in desperate need of ironing. The sleeves were overwhelming. I didn’t wear it.
