Fun for casual NYE
I rented the martini version of this last year. It's always fun. I like this one better just because I prefer the navy to black.

Gorgeous color. Very sort waisted.
The color is so pretty, but the cut is extremely short waisted, particularly on my long torso.

Great for the beach or a cruise
I wore this dress all summer. It has generous proportions and is cinched with a belt. The appliqué work down the front make it stand apart from other blue and white striped beach dresses.

Love Tommy Bags
These bags are so well made. I always get compliments when I carry one. This one features poppies that stand out a bit from the surface, adding textural interest to the vivid colors and beadwork.

Casual dressed up
This dress is a casual t-shirt dressed up with sequins. Depending how you style it, it could be appropriate for a wide range of situations. I was pleasantly surprised that the sequins didn’t not scratch my arms. It’s an easy dress to wear.

A ray of bright blue sunshine
Super fun style. A bit snug in the bust and bare in the back. A thin t-shirt underneath made it appropriate for a work conference at a beach resort.

Bright cute shot of summer
Loved it over the geometric print dress in the same collection. I preferred it over a dress for work, since the back is fairly bare otherwise.

Beautiful and flowy
This dress moves beautifully. It makes you look like you are floating. The only negatives are it is very long so heels were a must, and the zipper was very difficult to get past the seam at the waist so getting dressed without help was a bit tricky. The neckline is lovely. Since I wore it to a work event I used some dress tape for modesty. If I was wearing it somewhere else I would have worn it as it is.

Beautiful color
I loved the drape of this dress. It is a bit long, but that is one of the things that made it so easy to wear. Perfect for work. The blue earrings were also from RTR and added a touch of understated bling.

Don't forget the shapewear
The dress fit fine, but the texture of the fabric shows every flaw. I also found the texture on the rough side.

Rich beautiful color. Runs huge!
I hate to send this skirt back. It is such a luxe color and feel. I don't have a pic with the skirt, but I wore it with this top for a perfect look. It runs huge. I initially got the 16, which is what I usually wear. It fell down. Wound up with a 12 for a great fit.

This top is gorgeous on. I worried about it being too much pattern since I don't wear patterns often. It wasn't. So many compliments and I felt amazing wearing it.

The dress is elegant in its simplicity. The trim sets it apart without being over the top or gimmicky. I'd rent this again and again.

Love the fringe. Cat owners beware.
The fringe on this dress is so fun and sassy. But as I removed it from the bag it became apparent I would only be wearing this away from home. My cats were too fascinated by all the yarn.

Gorgeous color, so soft, no wool
Every time I wore this I received compliments from strangers on the beautiful color. I loved how soft and warm the sweater was, and appreciated that it didn't have wool, which I'm allergic too. It runs crazy big. I sized down twice and it was still roomy.

Gorgeous dress. Awesome pockets. Snug top
I got this in a 16R and 18P. Both fit, but the 18 gave me a little more breathing room in the ribs and waist. It was also the perfect length on my 5’7” frame,

Super Comfy Weekend Dress
This is a great dress. The weight of the fabric makes it hang nicely. It’s not too short, not too long. Great color. The defined waist makes it very slimming. It’s one of those great one and done items that perfect for running errands or going to lunch on Saturday. It also works for casual Friday at the office. The 3X was quite big, so I replaced it with the 1X for a better fit. I’ll probably buy this one.

Would be perfect if arms weren’t too tight.
The shape of the dress was great. But the bottom of the arms were painfully tight.

Beautiful high-quality sweater
The knit has structure and looks good all day. The sleeves are quite long, but that is how they were shown on the model. Love the two way zipper. Went with jeans and with a dressy skirt equally well.
