Fun for work
I wore this one to a work conference and it was a fun way to make a statement while still being professional. (I got many a compliment on this one)! The waist was on the larger side for me, so I tucked in a shirt and added a belt to help it stay high waisted. The asymmetrical slit is a great add, although it did make it slightly difficult to walk in because the wind kept flapping it around and making it hit my right leg.

Unique and classy
This is not the best photo, but take my word for it: this dress is SO incredibly flattering and unique! I wore it for a wedding in October, so I was a bit chilly with the light canvas-y material, but it definitely passed the dance test! The green was vibrant but not obnoxious and it hugged me in all the right places while still being very demure. I had to wear sticky boobs because you would have seen a regular bra through the sleeves/slides.

High quality
This was the perfect ribbed turtleneck staple! The fit was just right (not too long) and the material was thick and cozy.

A work of art!
This dress was GORGEOUS! I loved the unique pattern and elegant sleeve length. The material felt high-quality; it was structured, but comfortable (especially in the tummy area). I wore it to a wedding with black tights and received tons of compliments. ☺️

BURY ME IN THIS DRESS 🔥🖤
This dress was the EPITOME of sexy elegance and my new favorite RTR find! I LOVED the unique cowl neck + open back combination. The wool fabric (think: men's suit material) was high quality but also soft, breathable, and with some stretch--I danced the night away with zero issues. I recently lost some weight so this was slightly too large for me, but a few safety pins made it fit like a glove!

This skirt was FULL
THE VIBE: This dress was full of personality: vibrant color, unique bodice, and a big ol' skirt. THE FIT: *The asymmetrical straps hung awkwardly on my frame, but fashion tape would have likely helped. *There was room for a larger chest, but the rest of the bodice felt snug when I took a deep breath in. *At 5'6" with 2-inch heels (pictured here), the dress was slightly on the longer side. If I had worn it, I would have wanted at least 3-inch heels. *The crossover strap was tight, but the other strap was loose and kept falling off my shoulder. (Warning: no adjustable straps)

BEAUTIFUL but a nip slip waiting to happen
I absolutely loved the print and silhouette of this dress! It was a fun take on formal, where you don't see too many patterned options. The adjustable straps were clutch, which helped make it fit better even though it was a bit too large around the hips and midsection. The cowl neck was flattering, but was low enough that it felt like either your bra would show, or the girls would show if you went braless.

Edward ✂️hands meets Phantom of the Opera
I had high hopes for this one, but the arms were quite long and the cropped fit was longer in the front than it was in the back. I felt like I was going to have to be adjusting it all evening.

Perfect for Madama Butterfly at the opera!
I loved the flowy dimensions of the dress--it was perfect for a slightly breezy spring afternoon at the Metropolitan Opera. Even though it had the comfort of a sack dress, it was still flattering. I'm 5'6" and wore the dress with Rothy's sneakers for a more casual look. The dress wasn't dragging on the floor, but in hindsight I would have worn something with a platform because I did occasionally step on different parts of the dress (e.g., when I was standing up, or going up the stairs). Also, the shoulders do cut in slightly, so the straps of a regular bra would show.

FALLing in love with this coat
I was in the market for a coat that I could throw over any outfit and be ready to go. This coat fit the bill perfectly! The color and quilted look made it the perfect fall transitional piece, while the boxier fit made it easy for layering. Paired with some heeled lug sole boots? *chef's kiss*

Pretty in pink
This is probably my all-time favorite work shirt!!! It's feminine, the perfect shade of baby pink (and very pigmented), and the shirt/vest look gave it an elegant appearance without the bulkiness of actually layering a button down with a sweater vest. The sleeves were a bit cropped (coming up above my wrists), but this was a benefit for me because I typically wear a watch.

Happy Fall, Y’all 🧡
Came for the vibrant fall color, but stayed for the structured (yet stretchy) fit and asymmetrical hem of this dress. It’s easy to dress up or down; it can be worn on its own or layered with a sweater over it if it’s colder.

Love the collar
The material was thick without feeling bulky. The sleeves seem a bit short, but that was fine for me because I always wear a watch and it didn’t get in the way. I liked wearing it as a casual, but elevated, option for work.

A fun way to break the ice
I decided to wear these to a work conference and they were a hit! It was an easy icebreaker topic because everyone loved them—so I got to meet a ton of new people. 🥰 They fit true to size, were comfortable all day, and the length was just right for me. Even though they’re velour/velvet material, it doesn’t have an odd look if you rub the material the wrong way.

A showstopper! 🤩
Wore this for a friend’s rehearsal dinner and it was a hit! The sparkles and cutouts made a tasteful statement, and the side slits gave some extra flexibility. The dress fit true to size and just right. 💕Pro tip: wear light-colored underwear unless you want everyone to see!

I felt like a hot spy infiltrating a billionaire’s gala when I wore this dress
The BEST black dress! The open back is 🔥 and the adjustable tie works like a modern corset. The ruching in the front was flattering, and the slit was positioned perfectly! Lasted all night and passed the dance test with flying colors. 😍

Casual, fun statement piece
This top was very flattering to the tatas! I loved the tie in the middle and the puffy sleeves, which stayed put without cutting off my circulation. And of course there’s the colors, which were a very fun option for summer. 🧡🩵 I do wish it had a little more length—even with high waisted bottoms, it was still showing a fair amount of midriff (especially when I sat down).

A fun (and comfortable) statement dress
I was looking for a fun casual dress for summer and was so glad I got this one. It was comfortable and breezy with all the eyelets, which was perfect for a warm day. Despite there being a lot of material—perfect for eating!—it didn’t wrinkle and it hung in a flattering way. I was happy with how bright the color was—it’s just as pictured! It was ever so slightly big in the chest area, but not in a way that left huge gaps, more so in a way that allowed a little extra room for breathing. Would recommend!

Classy AND sexy!
I felt AMAZING in this romper!! I wore it to my sorority formal--it was comfortable (especially around the midsection) yet incredibly flattering. It also has pockets which is a huge bonus. Other people said it was too short but I thought it was perfect. The only thing that was difficult was the arms--it was hard to raise my arms above a certain height but as I danced more it started to loosen up a bit. I stood out from the rest of the people who wore dresses. I didn't want to take it off! Would highly recommend it.
