Can be dressed up or down, runs true to size
As someone who wears almost exclusively all black and never anything sparkly - this was outside of my comfort zone to even order. I ordered a size up from my regular size for a relaxed fit and it was exactly what I was hoping for, so I would say it runs true to size. It is thinner than a sweatshirt, but heavier than a blouse, so perfect for layering under a fitted jacket or to wear on its own. It has some sparkle to it, but not obnoxiously so. I love that it can be dressed up or down - I wore it 3 times.

Cute but runs small
I was really excited to wear this top, but I was surprised to see that it ran so small! It's cute and the material felt soft, but I am normally between a 10/12 and ordered the 10 due to reviews. I could hardly even put it on it was so tight. I would say this runs 1-2 sizes small overall, not just in one part of the shirt. I liked it enough that I will try to order it again in a larger size if possible.

Super cute and flattering, but runs at least a full size small.
This dress is really flattering and I love that it can be season-flexible. I wore it with tights and booties and a leather jacket for cool Chicago fall, but could just as easily wear it as-is with bare legs and open toed shoes in the summer. The print is pretty and to my surprise and delight the ruching on the arms and waist area were flattering rather than making me feel bigger. It hugged in all the right places and I was even able to wear it without a bra (always a bonus). The only con is that I initially ordered it in a 12 (I'm usually a 10 or 12) and it wouldn't even come close to zipping, so it runs at least a full size small. But it's so cute that I was willing to reorder a size up and try again and I'm really glad I did. Great date night dress!

Love the look of this blazer but it runs about a full size too small. Glad it has some stretch.
This blazer is very pretty and I love the material/pattern. I found it very easy to style- I wore it with a navy silk tee and ripped denim + brown booties. Could have easily dressed it up with dark denim and a heel. It does run very small. I'm typically a 10/12 or Large, and I ordered this in an XL because I don't like my blazers to feel so fitted that they restrict movement. This is quite tight and I can't button it, but luckily it's very cute unbuttoned and has enough stretch that I can deal with the tightness in the arms for one or two wears, and can push up the sleeves. However, I'd be much more comfortable if it was roomier.

Fun print but super sheer and runs small
I really like this jacket and can't wait to wear it. I wear a lot of black and this will be a fun way to add some visual interest to my everyday wardrobe. Would definitely rent again, will probably wear more than once. Pros: comfy, has some stretch, sleeves are loose, although waistband is super small looks cute unzipped, LOVE the print. Cons: runs pretty small. I'm typically a L/10 and even an XL barely zips due to how tight the waistband is, though the rest is loose and I don't need to zip to wear. Super sheer so not really good for adding any warmth. I probably wouldn't buy this bc of how light and seemingly fragile the fabric is. I imagine it would tear/snag easily.

I LOVE this top! So flattering & perfect for fall
This might be my favorite RTR top yet. It's super flattering and versatile. It's unlined so I was able to tie it lower and wear a cami under it for work, but on the weekend wore it with a bralette and tied it a bit higher paired with high waisted jeans.

Tight in the chest and arms, short
I wanted to love this top. The print is so pretty and the material felt light, perfect for hot weather. However, I found the chest area to be super tight, and as a result the arms were even a bit tight. Additionally it was so short that it almost fit like a crop top. For reference, I'm 5'7" size 10, D cup, and ordered a large. Sadly, this one will have to go back immediately. If you are shorter and perhaps not as curvy it might be worth a try, it is gorgeous and I wish it had fit better.
