Not for shorties
Super cute chunky sweater. More emerald than forest green because of the sparkle in the knit. Fold in the sleeve is anchored with a stitch, so it can't be repositioned. I'm 5'1" so this meant the sleeve was long for me but there was not a lot I could do about it: they don't really push up. Length extended all the way around my hips also, and the chunkiness of the sweater made me look a little "hippy" as a result: I think it would look much cuter at a different length on a taller person with more breasts to balance that out. Even in size XS the proportion was just wrong for me.

Super cute: weird fit
So many compliments. I run pretty TTS in a 25 (5'1," 117 lbs). These were almost tight in the waistband, just below the natural waist, and then ballooned out below that, poofy around my (not actually that big) tummy. Not flattering or carefully cut. Cute, easy, and good fit through the bum, legs, and thighs, but no idea what was going on up top there. Looked great as long as I wore them with a shirt or sweater covering the weirdo waistline!

I’m in love!
Loose comfortable loud print. I normally wear a 2 and these are TTS but comfortable: I could have worn the zero. I’m only 5’1” and they were still quite cropped. I got tons of compliments at work but they could go to a casual party or on vacation. Never want to send them back!

not my cut
I am 5'1, 115lbs, 47 years old, in a conservative industry, a 2. After reading reviews I rented a medium, figuring it might sit loose/low on the waist. That was a correct hypothesis. With opaque tights it was decent, barely, for work. I think my problem with this skirt is that it's a cross between a circle and an a-line, which is a little risque at this length -- I really a black leather skirt like this to be a cross between an a-line and a pencil, more conservative, with less flare at the mid thigh length.

fits one specific woman, who's not me.
Fit disaster. Tiny long arms (can barely get into it: can't lift my arms enough to zip the dress; sleeve is so long and tight that I can't pull it up to wash my hands; can't move my arms to type). Tiny in the thigh; can't walk up a hill, can't get into a car; can't pull up the skirt to go to the bathroom.). Too big in the shoulders. Too big in the waist: feels like I'm missing a 24 week pregnancy which would fit nicely in this big pouch of fabric. Bodice and behind fit great though. Why is this dress so restrictive, specific, and weird? Why was it designed to fit one, specific woman if there's no stretch or give in it? Don't they realize this is ready to wear, and there are thousands of different shaped women's bodies trying to fit into this design? This designer is making me feel like a freak. But I'm pretty sure it's their job to accommodate me and not the other way around.

fun and versatile
Lots of compliments on this casual sweater. As others have mentioned it is short enough that it shows a little skin and can't really be worn with low waist pants: high waists only. It is a cotton blend and mine arrived showing a bit of wear: most of the chunky sweaters i own like this are wool, and this one will definitely not hold up as well over the long term. OTOH this one is way softer and less itchy, way more fun, and super comfortable in this early fall weather. Loving it!

perfect pants
Love these pants. Can't send them back. Contemplating buying them but not sure how the color (SO bright! SO fun!) will hold up, either on-trend or with washing. Right now they are just loud and fantastic: I get ++ compliments every time I wear them: the color is exciting and the fit is very flattering (on my curvy petite frame). They've been great through summer and early fall

Fun for work. arrived wrinkled :(
I sized up (from 0-2 to 4) to have room in shoulders and sleeves, which was probably overkill. It didn't make the shirt longer and it left me swimming, a little. Sleeves would have been OK even for my relatively muscular arms at my true size. As others have said, looks best with high-waist pants.

perfect in every way
I liked this shirt so much I bought it. Just polished enough for my relatively casual office. casual enough for errands around town. Photos on RTR site don't do justice to the cute embroidery on sleeves. Drop-sleeve is on trend fun but not as annoying as a flare sleeve.

poorly cut
as others have mentioned, too short, even with high waist pants. But really, the issue is poor fit. No fitting at the bodice (no darts in the breast area) means it fits tight in the shoulders and arms *and* short in the front, because it's cut completely flat across the front, like a tee would be. Maybe the designer was thinking that the tie front would create room? I think this is why multiple reviewers complain that it doesn't fit. I am 5'1", a 32A, and 110 lb and the small didn't have enough room for me anywhere except the waist, where it was baggy.

Love. Don't eat or cook though!
Wow, gorgeous, gorgeous, so many compliments! Easy to style with jeans or skirt/tights. Thin but warm, I wore long underwear underneath and was both stylish and warm as it was body-conscious without being tight. Bear in mind the sleeves have slashes in the bell, to make them flare even more. This makes it very cute, but makes it hard to hide a long sleeve t underneath (works best if you push it up to your elbows, or wear a short sleeve). And DON'T plan to eat or cook in this -- which really limits its everyday utility. The sleeves are impossible to roll or push up. I was able to eat reasonably neatly, but I'm sure I looked a little foolish (and I am a very neat person. Cooking could easily get you set on fire (not kidding, the sleeves are both draggy and floppy when you're using your hands.)

As others have said: just too short
I almost bought this to let it down an inch. Thought maybe, at 5'1"... if I got the size up and let it sit lower on the hips...if I wore it with tights... It turns out that also it would need to be if I were 10 years younger; if I loved my legs a little more: if I were SURE the fabric wouldn't have any memory of where its hem used to be! It's a fantastic skirt, and I hope some of these things are true for you! Gorgeous. Still wishing maybe I hadn't sent it back today. Someone let me know if you bought it and let the hem out....

Super cute; good for minimalists
This is an adorable bag. It has the difficulty that many north-south bags have, that its tall and narrow design make things hard to find from the narrow top perspective. Its shape and nice stiff structure (which make it so attractive) make this worse, as it doesn't really open up at all. You reach your hand down through the zipper, which kind of chews your hand as you do. Its interior, however, is spacious once you're in there, and it's also a light color which is helpful. Holds a big continental wallet, a flexible 5x8 planner, cell phone, glasses, spare gloves, and a few more odds and ends, but it's a good bag for an organized person who knows what she's looking for when she dives in. Gorgeous. Not my favorite.

A very specific fit, that wasnt mine
This dress is beautiful. Fabulous design, utd wine/red color, great shape. But: its fit was unwearable for me. I'm a 0/2, 110 lb, 32a/b, my shoulders are a little broad and my upper arms are, if anything, the fit-limiting spot for me in clothes. I rented the 2 in this dress and though its fabric has some stretch its fit is at one extreme end of body type which is not mine. It was tight in the arms, baggy in the chest and shoulders. Cut for someone taller (armholes at least 3" below my armpit) and bustier. ie supermodel-2, not petite-2. You must have breasts to fill this out, or be really tall. This would fit around a 34-36 c/d cup, and if you have ever had an issues with arms-too-snug, you'll notice them here -- though it went on me fine because of tge stretch, it just looked awkward.

Fantastic. Too bad it is acrylic!
If this were not acrylic I would buy it. I know it will pill and not last, as all acrylic sweaters eventually do, but how fabulous is it right now! I wear it as often as I can possibly get away with without becoming "that woman who always wears the gray poncho?" As it is I cannot bear to give it up as a rental. I get compliments every time I wear it. I am XS and so is it: a poncho that does not swallow me. Gorgeous variegated color. Very warm for foggy rainy weather, the airplane, chilly conferences, etc. Easy to style as long as you wear it over something skinny in the hips and legs.

Cute, casual, fabric not as expected
Very cute and spacious style (runs TTS or maybe a little big, I'm an XS/S and the S is super roomy, I chose up as I knew I'd want layers underneath and a casual fit), fabric is not straight black and white but a very subtle abstract/floral with a tiny taupe accent mixed in which makes it very easy to style/accessorize as you can add a taupe or gray sweater or shoe easily. A 4 season item with layering for winter. Very cute, a little casual for work but with proper accessories can go anywhere. Superb for travel. Fabric not as expected: I was hoping for a smooth, silky feel but this had a nappy, washed feel, very soft but with a fuzzy uneven surface texture: otherwise I would consider buying.

versatile top. Love it!
I've had this top for 3 weeks and counting, can't bear to send it back. Tons of compliments. Have worn it to work, as a guest to someone else's kinda-fancy Thanksgiving dinner, for date night. I've styled with black pants like this model and with a navy pencil skirt. I'm a 32A and broad shouldered and this is flattering to my shape. I don't think it would fit a busty woman well. I'm typically a two on top and wore the 6 comfortably not too roomy: I'd say it runs small.
