Lots and lots of material
Gorgeous style, I wanted to wear this to a party. The top fit nicely but the excess of material on the bottom made me look very heavy, especially through the hips and thighs (where I need no extra fluff). I tried adding a belt to define the waist, but there was just too much fabric to make it work.

Size up, wear heels (if short)
Beautiful color, high waisted, luxe material. I sized up to a 14 and they were a good fit. A bit large in the waist, but fit nicely through my larger hips/thighs. As a 5’4” person, I would have needed at least a 1 1/2 inch heel with these. I never wore them out, because it was always too warm while I had them.

Cute but roomy
Loved the print, sweater was warm but not overly hot or itchy, looked cute with leggings and jeans. I don't like 3/4 sleeves, and these are a tad longer than that, but I just couldn't make peace with these sleeves. Otherwise, liked this sweater very much!

Cute cute cute!!!
Love this coat-- considering buying it. I usually buy a L in outerwear, and the L was a perfect fit for me. It's a cute coat with a fun print. Looks great with jeans and a black scarf. I wish it had more buttons-- only has one (like a blazer). Received compliments whenever I wore it!

Meh...
I normally wear a S or M top; RTR recommended a M and it fit well. The colors looked brighter in the pictures. It looked okay...kind of muted or dingy? Fine for everyday errands.

Cute, fun, different
Rented this for a rehearsal dinner. Wore it with a black tank top and a denim jacket. It is a cute skirt with a fun print. Fits tts and material is silky. Would rent again for vacation or casual party.

Gorgeous-- compliments all night
Rented this for a wedding and received compliments all night long. Material is a nice weight-- no shaping garments needed, but still light and comfortable. I normally wear an 8, RTR suggested the 10 and it was perfect, so go up a size. Loved the hi-lo styling, was fun to dance in. Length was great with 3 inch heels; a smidge long in back with no shoes. This may just be my go-to dress for formal affairs!

LOVE these!!!
I'm. E tween a 29 and 30. Got the 30 bc that's all they had. The 30 for nicely, looked nice and I wore them several times on my vacation. After a few wears, they stretch out a bit, but I still wore them and they looked fine. I thought they'd be too short, but the length was appropriate for 46 year old me. I will rent these again; maybe even buy them this summer!!

Nope
The material is a silky type of material. I prefer cotton or denim for shorts. These were really pretty but run very small. I'm normally an 8 in bottoms. The 10 wouldn't fasten and were tight through my thighs. Couldn't wear.

Couldn't wear
Rented these for vacation-- cute pattern! I wear an 8, but RTR recommended the L. Couldn't get them to fasten-- definitely needed the next size up.

Lovely and different-- but HUGE!!
I loved the colors/pattern of this sweater! It is a really nice, thick sweater-- keeps you warm but not too hot. My only negative is that it runs huge! I am between a S and a M; usually I size up on RTR. The M was so big; I could have definitely gone with the S, and maybe even the XS.

Pretty but so HOT!!
Love the color. Basic, casual sweater to wear for everyday with jeans. I normally wear a M, but RTR only had a L. The L fit me and I could not have comfortably worn a M. All of that said, I could not wear this sweater because it was SO HOT!! Granted, I tend to run warm, but this sweater made me uncomfortably hot. Had to return it asap.

Different kind of sweater to mix things up
I initially thought that this was more of an outdoor fall-weight coat, which is how I wore it until mid-November. Once it got colder, I needed a heavier layer underneath and this sweater/coat didn't look as nice. I would not have worn it as a sweater-- to me it has the look of a coat. Also, the navy and black are very dark and there is not a lot of contrast (the blue doesn't really "pop"). Definitely cute for a light-weight topper.

Amazing quality, runs large
This sweater is beautiful-- the quality is absolutely outstanding. It is a thick sweater, but not bulky. Unfortunately, I didn't wear it out because it was ginormous on me. I usually wear a M in sweaters, but the M was swimming on me. I understand that it is supposed to have a somewhat loose fit, but I would recommend sizing down.

Nice for a cocktail party
I wore this to a Sunday evening cocktail party. It fit very well everywhere except my chest. I'm a 36D and the hook and eye closure on the dress did not hold the top closed. I had to use fashion tape, and it was still a bit more revealing than I would have liked. I also did not like the sash hanging down the front. It was pretty and it worked out, but it was not my favorite look.

Very pretty but sparkles fall everywhere!
This dress is really beautiful and I would have worn it to the party, except I couldn't get it to zip around my rib cage (I needed the size 8, not 6). I liked that it had some stretch to it, but still felt like a quality material. Be aware, though, that you will leave sparkles wherever you go-- this dress does shed..

Cute shirt with jeans
This shirt was cute and looked pretty with a pair of jeans. I'm not a huge fan of flowy sleeves, though, so this was just kind of ok for me.

Husband asked if it was a maternity top!
This shirt looks so cute and different and I liked it on the hanger. When my husband saw me, though, he thought it was a maternity top! It was not flattering and did make me look bigger than I am.

Runs big-- size down
Loved the color and style of this sweater. RTR suggested a M, and the top half of the sweater just didn't lay properly. The sleeves were very long and the sweater didn't stay put-- it tended to slide downward which made the snap not lay right. I think if I had tried the S, it would have been a better fit. The material is thick and beautiful.

Very pretty and unique
This top is very pretty and feminine. I wore it with capri distressed jeans and received a lot of compliments. It is a lot of material making up those ruffles on the front, but the quality is nice and the shirt is comfortable and flattering. My only complaint is the ties and how they hang down further than I would like-- like past my waist. Otherwise, liked it!

Cute but weird fitting
I loved the idea of this jumpsuit. I liked how the top fit and it was really pretty. However, the bottom part is too short in the crotch, making the whole jumpsuit not terribly comfortable when sitting. I didn't wear it after trying it on.

Not the greatest look
You definitely need to size up (I would normally wear a M, but the L fit me). The front buttons didn't lay nicely and sometimes came unbuttoned. I didn't think the dress was flattering and it was just kind of plain. It is lined and the material is a nice quality. Just not for me.

Cute but short!
This fit pretty true to size and was great for a casual summer day. The edges kind of rolled up after a bit, but overall they were fine. A bit short for me, especially when sitting down, so I'm not adding them to my closet permanently.

Beautiful fit and design!
I loved this dress! The fit and flare style works well for women with a curvier lower half like me. It is a very flattering dress and the gold at the hem adds a fun and beautiful detail. I normally wear a 6 or an 8, so I was a little surprised that RTR suggested a 10-- but the 10 fit. My one complaint is that when I sat down, it pulled a tiny bit across my bust-- almost like I needed one more inch of fabric for it to lay nicely. I would probably have purchased this dress if I had more events to wear it to.

Would be great for a themed party!
This dress fit true to size and is pretty. I felt like it was a little bit "dated" or that it would have been better suited to a 1920s themed party. Just not my cup of tea once I put it on.

Beautiful color and concept-- runs small!
While I was able to put the dress on, it would not zip all the way up. The material is thick in a nice way-- it feels sturdy and like it would hold you in. However, the top was too small for my bust, so I wasn't able to wear this one.

This is a cute spin on the LBD-- the fit and flare bottom is a plus for curvy women like me.
The material is a bit odd-- almost feels like a thick paper-type fabric. It's a nice weight, though, and the polka dots give it some visual interest. I liked it a lot and would probably have purchased it if I attended more cocktail parties.
