Special event lace
Good dress, thick enough fabric to feel substantial, but cool enough to wear in the summer. Very plunging in the front, didn't bother with a bra as the top was supportive enough. Comfortable to wear, lots of nice compliments. Excellent for hourglass figure, waist is very fitted, top is fitting but more forgiving.

Cute Bag
This bag was adorable. A touch on the small side, but it fit the trifecta (wallet/phone/keys) pretty well. The leather is soft, but solid. Love the zipper pockets on other side.

Party Dress
Held a fancy (American) dress party. This dress is great - it's more of a mustard yellow than the picture. The fit and length worked great with my shape. The fabric is a bit on the not-forgiving side, any lumps or lines are clearly visible, even when the fabric is not pulled taught. The strapless bra I had was not going to work, so I just did without. It was very comfortable, though.

Solid Bag
Another bag that sits perfectly on the should, either strap! The leather is nice, the white bright but not "too perfect" (in a good way). The inside is spacious and there is good use of pocket space. I could nit pick and say I with the bag closed a little more than it does with the drawstring, but overall I love it.

Everyday Bag
I love this bag! It's the perfect size for a day-bag - not too big, but big enough. It sits nice on the shoulder, and the cross body strap worked well. The leather felt strong and durable, and it zipped without a problem. This is a bag I'd love to own!

This dress is cute - the fabric is solid, but not stiff. The fit is very body-con, but didn't highlight the lumps, only the curves. The colors are bright and bold. My only critique would be that if I walked a normal, NYC-pace (so, on the quick side) the dress got shorter and shorter. Whoops.

The Dress
The color and fabric on this dress are great. Sadly, that's about it. The lining sticks out from the bottom, and I found the waist to fit odd. I'm about 5'8, and this dress hovered around my ankles, and was scrunched up on my torso. I just felt like I was the complete wrong shape for this dress.

Everyday Necklace
I wanted to love this necklace, but it didn't seem to hang evenly around my neck - and I'm fairly certain I have even shoulders. It did hang light, and drop down to right below my sternum. The chain tangles incredibly easy, it was almost too much for me to try and wear it.

Bright Skirt
Cute skirt, wanted to love the fabric more than I did in person. Seems like it will wear well, perfect for cool spring/autumn days, might be a touch hot in the summer. The skirt did keep riding up past my waist. I could have used a much smaller size I suppose! I am 5'8 with longer legs, and the skirt hit right past my knee. (Could also be a 'wrong size' symptom.)

Bridesmaid Dress
This dress was perfect for the event. All the bridesmaids picked out classic black cocktail dresses and this fit the bill. The waist is very narrow with no give. I'm glad it fit on me - some people noted that the torso runs a bit long. I have a super short torso, but it was only a touch long on me, not enough for me to pin up the straps or anything. The back is very full and fluffs nicely. I loved the matte fabric and the little ribbon trim around the bottom. The chest area fit fine, but had I been any bigger or been wearing a bra with additional padding, it would have been too much. Oh, and the zipper is gold. I couldn't figure that out until I got the dress no matter how I looked at the screen, so there you go! Overall, this dress was the perfect dress for the occasion. Would happily rent this again.

Birthday dinner and party
Didn't love the fit of this dress - too big in the waist and chest. I wouldn't really recommend this for an hourglass shape. The colors are more cream-like and muted in person. The top is very prone to opening and peeking, a touch of fashion tape would be in order if you don't want to show people exactly how fabulous your bra is. (I mean, if you do, go ahead. You do you, this dress is perfect then.) The fabric was comfortable and I wasn't either too cold or too hot through the night. I did get some compliments on the dress. At 5'8 it hits me right at the knee, so the length was perfect.

Chunky and fun!
Big, bright necklace. Not too heavy around the neck. Adds a great pop of color and texture to the outfit.

Baby Shower
The dress: It's cute, it's a bit more pink in person. And like other ladies have said, there is no give in the hips, and it's a slim fit. I normally wear a size 8, and the 10 was slightly too tight around the tops of my thighs. Sizing up may not fix the problem, either, in a size 10, the waist was already too big for me. If you've got the right sort of shape for this dress, it's cute and a quality piece of work. The colors are bright and cheerful, and the length is good for any sort of party.

Fancy dinner for my dad's 60th bday
The necklace is very light to wear, but looks heavy. I wasn't a fan of how it lay around my neck at first, but with a bit of fussing it got there and was great to wear for the entire night.

Wore it for my dad's 60 bday fancy dinner, at the end of March. And it snowed. Glad for the sleeves!
Ah, the tale of this dress. The size 8 fit perfectly - if I had been an ounce heavier in the bust it would have been too tight. It's a bit shorter in the front than I expected, but nothing scandal-worthy. Sadly, my dress had a small stain on the sleeve - but the story has a happy ending as RTR customer service is absolutely top notch and fixed the problem. This dress fit and looked so good, when I saw this dress for sale at the RTR sample sale, I snagged it up!

Beautiful dress! It fits nicely, but the thick ruching added some extra bulk. I'd recommend it for women who have a straighter shape and want to add some curve, rather than for women who want to emphasis existing curves.

Nice Colors, Snug Fit
The dress is lovely. The description is right - there is no give in the fabric of the dress. The fabric, while not stretchy, is comfortable and light. The sash needs a bit of fussing to sit right, but didn't move around easily for me once I got it situated.
