Stylish warm cape
There's not much form to it so imagine wrapping a big blanket around yourself and getting away with it. Trim is blue, not black.

Stylish though super short
Loved the shimmer in the gray top and fit was good (no problem with the band at hips as others noted). The black skirt is way too short and definitely see through. Solved the latter problem by wearing a black nightgown underneath that acted like a slip. It was 1" shorter than the skirt and worked great. Just wish the skirt was longer so I could feel comfortable wearing it to more places. Got lots of looks for its shortness.

A flattering style
The angled line of the top portion feel at just the right place on me to make my waist look small and hide my belly. Nice style and colors.

Used once and didn't like it
Not as described... strap is way too short to be across the body and metal is white/silver, not gold. Material is VERY stiff.

Beautiful fabric and well made dress
Super nice quality dress, just didn't flatter my body. Cut was very fitted through the bodice and then full through the skirt. Loved the long length of the dress however the horizontal seam for the skirt did not fall well for my long torso and it just made my bottom look much larger than it is. Odd profile view given how fitted the bodice is...

Almost cute, didn't wear it
Impressed that it came new with the tags still on! Fabric felt nice and style overall was cute, though it was ruined by the bulky 1.5 inch band in the waist area that didn't hit me right and drew one's eye right to that band. I literally tried to hide it with every single belt and scarf I own and nothing worked... just added more bulk, again in a bad spot for my long waisted body. So I sent it back with the tags still on.

Trendy with potential, but definitely some challenges
I've worn this 3x now to various parties, first with black faux leather leggings and then 2x with jeans. The first time, I did my best to wear it like in the model's picture (ie., sleeves and body pulled all the way down). I have narrow hips and really had to pull to get the tight waist over my hips. With the sleeves down, it's impossible to raise your arms to hug someone or to put on a winter jacket. So the next time I gave up on pulling both down and was much happier with the functionality and feel: the top's waist was around my waist and the sleeves were like 3/4 sleeves. The off-the-shoulder did not stay off the shoulder for more than 10 minutes at a time... was constantly readjusting it. And one side had a huge 12" slit that showed bare skin when your arm is partially raised, and your side breast when arm is raised higher. Wearing something under it other than a NuBra (which I did) or strapless bra is not possible given the neckline/off the shoulder feature. The material is nice and soft however and it is a trendy look. I'll probably wear it one more time before sending it back.

Fingers crossed bigger size an work
I probably really needed the 4 long but it wasn't available so went with the 4 regular, which is too small, and the 6 long, which fits in torso length however has way too much material under the arms specifically. Seems like fashion tape will work just fine for the deep V, however I'm going to have to get very creative with the sides to make this wearable. I'll review the 6 long once I figure something out... stay tuned.

Wore this Day 2 of a work conference first, then again for SuperBowl party and a Date night
Super on-trend shirt and very flattering... when sleeves are pulled down. They do tend to creep up, but with regular pulling down this is one very sexy shirt! Agree with someone else that sleeves feel tight at first... then that feeling disappears rather quickly. This is the one shirt of 4 that I will likely hang on to for awhile and will wear several times again.

Wore this on Day 1 of a work conference and got a ton of compliments!
Very stylish and great color. Needs to be pulled down occasionally to lay as intended.

Day 3 of wearing RTR shirts at a work conference
Fit as expected and great colors. Cute shirt. Just didn't have the same wow factor as the shirts I wore on Day 1 and Day 2.

Big, warm bulky sweater
I liked the look shown on the model so gave this sweater a try for everyday wear and even bought a pair of Lucky Jeans with the fringed edges like in the picture. Unfortunately, the sweater reminded my husband of an "old lady" and it's super bulky sleeves were too large to fit into any of my winter coats. I ended up wearing the sweater only in the house, however since I work from home and it's quite cold where I live I welcomed being able to snuggle up with this big warm sweater around me while I worked on my computer. So, not as fashionable as I hoped though super comfy.

Fancy steakhouse dinner dress
The hem line was more jagged/varied due to the wrap nature vs. the picture and I really liked that interest as well as the dress length. Up top, there was a lot of excess material by the armpits/upper chest area. I couldn't find my fashion tape and could have used it to keep the neckline from coming unfolded and also to secure it in place to have a hint of cleavage... when it closed up, it tended to become a bit frumpier-looking. That could have been fixed easily with fashion tape.

Didn't end up wearing
Liked the idea of a maxi denim jacket though never wore it given 3/4 length sleeves are not great during cold weather season. Would be more likely to wear this in Spring or Fall.

Wore this twice, to a holiday happy hour and our extended family's Christmas Eve dinner
Length was on longer side (which was good for me), shirt was warm and sleeves were super tight, which made it hard to get on/off, difficult to hug people and impossible to dance. Husband thought the look was "boring" and fit was "boxy." I liked that the sequins were different for me, though overall the shirt was not as special as I had hoped.
