I spent a lot of time trying to figure out how big this bag really is, because I wanted to use it as my day bag as well as plane bag for a trip to Italy (i.e. I needed it to be big enough but not too big). This ended up working out great-- definitely big enough to shove a light jacket and a couple guide books in during shoulder season in Italy, but not so big that I felt like I was carrying around a briefcase. I think the most I regularly put in here was 2 guidebooks, my kindle, a wallet, and a jacket. Maybe a water bottle too. The bag has enough structure that it doesn't look stuffed when there is a lot in it, and in fact I think it looks better when it's full. The shoulder strap was a bit too short to wear cross body (I'm 5'8"), but in a pinch I wore it that way just for ease. The leather is really nice, color goes great with everything-- overall a great bag! Thanks RTR!

Wore this for my rehearsal dinner, got lots of compliments. The flowy skirt is fun and not too short (I'm pretty tall so was worried about that). Overall, solid pick. Make sure you wear a statement necklace!

I know I look pregnant in this pic, but it's honestly just the picture. This dress will make you look and feel like a hundred bucks---also, my butt looked awesome in it. Very forgiving! Decently long if you also don't like to show a lot of leg (I'm 5'8"). BEWARE of nylons though, mine were ripped to shreds by the hem at the end of the night (good thing I was in a dark bar and they were nude). The sequins also caught on my hair/friends clothes a lot, which was annoying. Overall though, worth it for feel of the dress. I love the way it goes down your back, keeps you feeling cool (temperature wise) and hot! I ordered a L but kinda expected to wear the M-- good thing I ordered the L! It was hard to get on because of the way the neckline is, and the zipper being up the side and not through to the top.

I wore this dress for my bridal shower and got lots of compliments. I wasn't over the moon about it because the bottom flares out quite a bit and made me look a bit off-balanced; however it's great for hiding bigger lower bodies. The upper lace part of the dress was very pretty. All in all perfect for a bridal shower but not something I would buy (enter RTR!). Fairly long on me, and I'm 5'8".

I wore this to my cousin's bachelorette party, and it was great. I initially was going to order the 8 and 10 because my measurements are between those two sizes generally, but I am a very true pear and the 6 fit me great. Definitely size down if you are smaller on top! There is ample room in the skirt for full hips. I'm 5'8" and the dress hit me just above the knee in front, so it's a good length. Overall great dress. I didn't love the stitching across the front of the skirt so I'm glad I didn't buy it, but it did the job for this event! Thanks RTR, I'm a convert!
