Pilgrim-y
Unfortunately didn't end up wearing this as it looked a bit Pilgrim-y all buttoned up, and the way it's made you're not really able to leave the top button open as I was hoping. The buttons themselves are a bit weird - there's a piece of fabric behind them so you don't have a gaping hole, but I was also worried of that moving and exposing my bra.

Cuter on the model
Looked better on the model - it was hard to match pants/jeans to the peplum part of the jacket

Eye-catching!
Got tons of compliments while wearing! It fits pretty loose but beware the side slit/seam which goes up pretty high!

OBSESSED!!!
In love with this dress & found occasions to wear it for! Lovely fabric & while the bottom looks big when you put it on, if you loop the belt around your waist and tie it in the front, it looks much better. Would purchase!

Sooo small
This top was a NO for me. Too small & short, tight across the chest, and the fabric was cling-y.

Beware, it's a bit sheer!
Absolutely LOVED this skirt - you can dress it up or down: for work with mules, a date with heels, or just running errands with sneakers. It runs a bit small and the bum is a bit sheer... so just beware with your panty choice!

A must-tent for summer weddings!
I've had my eye on this dress for months & snatched it up as part of my RTR Unlimited membership weeks before I needed to wear it, just so I'd have it! Overall I'd say this fits true to size, with the chest area maybe being a little tight. I'm a 34D and the dress really "smooshed" me in. I don't see how you could wear a bra with this. I'm 5'5" and the dress came down to the bottom of my calf. A few other reviewers noted pockets with brown buttons at the sides. IMO it makes the dress look more casual than if it didn't include the buttons - something to be aware of if you want to wear this to a more formal event.

Couldn't wear due to the zipper!
Would have loved to wear this, but the zipper simply wouldn't budge at the waist. Beware this issue if you decide to rent! The stomach area does run a bit tight, but Spanx helped smooth everything out. I'm 5'5" and this was just above my ankles.

Not for large chested ladies
This was an okay option for a wedding, but I didn't end up wearing it because the chest area was too tight -- it just smashed my boobs against my chest, which gave me weird-looking cleavage. For reference, I'm a 34D. Definitely runs smalls -- I am normally an 8 but the 10 fit (except in the chest).

Fun wedding guest option!
Fits true to size. Low cut & the shoulders have a tendency to slip down, but I think this could be avoided if you attached your bra straps to the dress with the snaps on the dress. Due to the slit, wearing Spanx wasn't possible - but I felt the ruffles on the stomach area covered any "problem areas." Highly recommend & would rent again!

Beautifully made but too heavy for summer
Beautifully made blazer but, despite the summer-y pattern/colors, it's far too heavy/thick of a material for summer wear. I just couldn't wear it to work. The sleeves were a bit long, so I rolled them up (inside the sleeves is the same fabric as the rest of the blazer, not a lining - if that makes sense). Also, it definitely does cover your whole bum as shown in the photo. Because the material is so thick, this made me look wider than I am.

Surprised by how much I liked this!
Pulling this out of the package, I didn't think I'd like it -- but it grew on me! The waist is a stretch elastic band and the fabric has some stretch to it, too. It definitely did hug my hips and the elastic waistband isn't sown on all the way around, so that made the fit a bit awkward - but it's nothing you can't deal with. On my 5'4" frame, it was longer than a midi skirt but I could wear easily with sandals to work. I'm normally an 8 & rented the large. Medium def would not have worked.
