Looks, feels expensive. So many double-takes!
Lately my Unlimited orders have seemed cheap in quality. This redeemer was the exact opposite- looked & felt high quality & very expensive. A little warm for early August. Great for between seasons probably. Hangs loose in an intended, stylish way because the slip under-layer fit like a glove. A little nerve-wracking each time I stood up bc I couldn't tell if it was laying flat. Many people did a double-take at this dress that is simply beautiful in person.

Better in person! Electric green & navy.
Out of the bag this was "meh" but once on it had "wow". The construction isn't the highest quality, but it doesn't show. I got tons of compliments that I was not expecting. Thing to note - the floral print has an unexpected neon green. It sounds odd, but it really works on the navy. Trust me, I don't regularly wear neon green. It's just neon enough so it probably wouldn't fly in an office. But looks great for an outdoor event. Not too girly or fluffy (in a good way.) I'm about to wear it to a brewey by the river before I return. The drape of the sleeves is very fresh and flattering. I used fashion tape to secure the neckline. The fabric is light enough that it stayed put through 2 wearings already. Would probably keep if it weren't $$.

ADORABLE...on my 12 year old daughter.
Granted, there is a limited number of rompers that a 40 year old can pull off....this isn't one of them. Seriously, my 12 year old fell in love with it & I purchased for her. That's her in the picture. Even though I'm slender & usually a small, the medium was short-wasted & just fit oddly on 5'8" me. But it looks smashing on her!!! She'll be the best dressed kid at the end-of-school party!

Flirty, fun, but almost too short for a grown up.
Fit was great. LOVE the color. Material felt quality. The elastic waste wasn't too snug, although I had trouble figuring out if it should sit on my waist with the top blousing over or hips and pulled taught, so I ended up messing with it a lot. Lots of compliments but...It was really too short on me for day wear & I ended up changing in the middle of the day bc I couldn't function in my busy life AND worry about a peakAboo skirt situation. It made me sad to change out of it bc everything else about it was fun. Would be great on a beach trip or on a shorter girl. I'm 5'8. I

Lots of summer skin!
Enjoyed wearing this for Memorial Day but had to be aware that the straps were long & not adjustable so there was a lot of real estate showing. Fit perfectly when I stood still but gaped & slid a lot when I moved. Because of the arm detail I didn't always feel when the strap had slipped off. Near wardrobe malfunctions, but I was just with family. Very nice material. Still loved the look.

Fresh. Fun. Worked but *with a BIG SAFETY PIN!*
I loved this dress for dancing and dinner on our Caribbean vacation. ***But it was WAY more boxy & a-line than it looks on the model. And in my picture the dress has been adjusted. I took a big, fat safety pin and gathered about 1.5 inches of material under the top ruffle. The dress has so much movement that it wasn't visible at all. With this adjustment it felt great & I had tons of compliments. You could easily hide a baby bump or whatever you want to hide in this dress. It would be great on a night/day you don't want to wear your Spanx! I worry about ruffles making me look bigger, but I don't this these did. They lay pretty flat when you're not moving. Another big FYI is that the mesh top of this dress is Caucasian-flesh tone, not white or clear. I thought it was dirty when it first arrived, but it still had tags & when I put it on it worked. However, if you have darker skin it might read oddly, I'm not sure.

Crazy short on sides
Looks great from the front & back, but when the layers move you can see half of my butt!!! Maybe it works on a shorter girl, but i couldnt wear without leggings. Returned unworn.

Jacket that sets a tone, changes your mood.
Every woman should have at least one night in a jacket like this. It makes you feel glamorous & fabulous. How can you NOT have a great night in this?! Very warm. Id pair with something tight on the bottom so it wont make you look bigger. No need to overdo. With black leggings & high heal boots - this jacket IS the outfit. I often struggle with size smalls having arms too short for me, but this fit perfectly. When i joined RTR i promised myself id push my bounderies. This does that. Its a furry shot of confidence, so work it like you own it!
