If summer was a dress
If you don't mind talking to strangers, this is a good dress. Faces literally brightened when I walked in a room. One person said the dress looked like happiness, another said summer, you get the picture. It's a little sheer but almost doesn't matter bc it's so billowy (your panty line is far away). It's also extremely comfortable in hot weather - you almost feed nude bc it's so airy.
Summer Pastel Fiesta Dress
VEDA
Size Worn: SR
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 9"
Weight: 140lbs
Bust: 32C
Your mom's jumper, but better.
This one's a real crowd pleaser across a wide spectrum, thanks to its JC Penny 1980 print and bosslady fit. One woman shouted from across the grocery store that she had coral sandals that would match perfectly, another said she used to have similar drapes. So just be ready for that.
Kylie Jumpsuit
Fame & Partners
Size Worn: 6R
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 9"
Weight: 140lbs
Bust: 32C
Long body? Skip it
I'm mainly torso so this one didn't work out for me. (And I've had such good jumpsuit juju lately.) Cute but a little too basic for me in terms of what's worthy of a RTR shipment.
Morning Tides Jumpsuit
somedays lovin

You'll want to sleep in it
I know what you're thinking - jean is uncomfortable, right? Nah, girl - this is like 1985 faux jean that feels like it's been washed every day since. The only issue for me is that it's too big in the chest - I'm probably a 4 verging on 2 up top so I was swimming in the 6. I wore it anyway because it made me feel nude. Great dress.
Babe Next Door Dress
BB Dakota
Size Worn: 6R
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 9"
Weight: 140lbs
Perfect blend of casual and put together
I guess per some of the reviews you could call them a little loose, but that's the way the fit is supposed to be. I would add an L at the end because they would have enough length for someone 5'10 - I'm 5'9 and they were almost too long. High quality, thick fabric. Of course, an awesome pattern. I'd put them in that coveted category of casual-but-put together (my personal sweet spot). With tennies or loafers, changes the whole look.
Floral Track Pants
No. 21
Size Worn: 42R
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 9"
Weight: 140lbs
Super small but cute
Really pulls together a casual outfit. Interesting colors, if you're looking for something unique. Was missing one of the rivets.
Khaki Soiree Crossbody
Diane von Furstenberg Handbags
Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 9"

Lounge in satin like Hef
I loved these pants. High waist, loose fit in all the right places, classes up a sweater or down a blazer. The only reason I didn't buy them is that I don't like clothes I can't throw in a wash machine. (Thank you RTR.)
Green Satin Joggers
HALSTON

Exquisite gala dress
So I didn't actually wear it to a gala bc another RTR dress won, but it's gorgeous. I'm tall and athletic - the height is good for flats (not heels) and shoulders were not too narrow. Beautiful intricate design, classy sums it up.
Embroidered Dotted Tulle Gown
Marchesa Notte
Size Worn: 4R
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 9"
Weight: 140lbs
The most comfortable, period.
This one is for comfort, above all. Also, it's one size fits all, but the cut was nevertheless kind of flattering - it drapes well. Almost looks more like a cape than a poncho (in my opinion).
Heather Cowl Neck Poncho
Fifteen Twenty
Size Worn: 0
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 9"
Weight: 140lbs
Deer lovers only
If your plaid aura says, "I don't kill deer, I just pet them. - this jacket is for you. Fits right, with a little room for sleeves and big pockets. A step up from a standard plaid jacket, looks kind of like if Carhart did a collab with Scotch & Sofa. Loved it.
Plaid Shirt Jacket
BB Dakota
Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 9"
Weight: 140lbs
Cute design, itchy fabric
Title pretty much says it - I wore it to work and when I got home the first thing I did was take it off. I have a zero tolerance policy for itchy fabrics. Cute design though. Ran a little wide in the hips. I'm a lover of long sleeves but I can see them being too long for some.
Bell Sleeve Sweater
Slate & Willow
Size Worn: S
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 9"
Weight: 140lbs
Stretchy but slim
Cute concept, but stretchy in this kind of dress doesn't work unless the fit is perfect - bunches up around the buttons if it's too small, hangs oddly if too big. In this case it fit more like a XS - though I'm not sure even a medium would have fit well. Basically wear this one if you're a string bean.
Dynomite In Denim Dress
Free People
Size Worn: S
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 9"
Weight: 140lbs
A comfortable basic
Maybe a skosh bigger than a 4, definitely some room in the legs (I don't skip leg day, so they were great for me). Very comfortable, nice fabric formal enough for office wear.
Vega Pants
Cinq à Sept
Size Worn: 4
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 9"
Weight: 140lbs
Lisa Frank with shoulder pads
This sweater made me feel like both the future and the past. It's soft and thick, good for the tundra unless you have a long body like I do - in which case, be ready for a cold midriff.
Mekette Sweater
Ronny Kobo
Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 9"

Long arms, you're in luck
Very warm, love the long arms - recommend the tall wear this one. Lists the seven wonders of the world, which was minutes of fun to read. Also who doesn't love rainbows.

Time doesn't matter
Super comfy and high quality. Wore it on a Friday, didn't check my watch all day.
