Beautiful fabric just too much of it
Size down and get ready with a pair of 3" heels. The fabric is lovely and I wish these weren't sized for the long legged gals. Make a petite, will ya!?

Loved the pattern but the rouching made my tush look like something out of geometry class. The seam on the top is a center seam and the skirt is a side seam, which also made things weird.

You'll need the right pairing
By themselves, these are pajama pants. With the matching top, it's total summer chic bombshell. Comfy, flowy, and you'll likely want to size down if you prefer less flow and more figure-defining fit.

A bit too plain, even as a set
The top of this set runs small. I'm petite with a chest and the small felt snug while the small pants fit great. Would buy on a big sale for a simple 3-season outfit but the top by itself it a tough pairing.

Adorable, but size down
I'm slacking on photos lately, but this is a super comfy and chic summer dress! The sleeves add character to what could just be another shirt dress. I recc sizing down a size. I rented the small and wore it but bought the XS blind just because there was so much extra space that it bordered on shapeless. Look forward to adding this as a summer staple!

Cute, but the waist has a weird poof to it
These pants were spot-on in size and length, but the pleating gave a poofy-tummy appearance even standing up. I knocked off a star because I don't think sizing up would have fixed the issue. I think it's construction. Still, I might consider buying the set on sale for a grab-and-go 3-season outfit.

Size up
I think this is a gorgeous dress with a beautiful cut, but no way to really tell since it runs smalllllllllllll. 5’4 and 114/115 and the XS was too small. Fit like a sausage casing. There’s no side zipper on this. It’s over-the-head, which made the fit even tighter. Size up one size, especially if you’re more than a B cup. Wish I’d gotten to wear this. Of note, the knot is adjustable.

The fabric super stiff and a real boob smasher. Felt more like a costume than an outfit. Didn’t wear. Swap. Sad, because I waited a few months for my size to match my shipment timing.

Short shorts?
I’ve consistently ordered size 4/6 from RTR but when I got these I found them not TTS. I wanted a longer inseam, I guess. A looser waist. Alas, I got neither. Maybe the 6 would have been better but my advice here is to size up and expect a short inseam. The fabric is lovely if not super wrinkle-prone. I wish these shorts had delivered because the colors are divine. Didn’t wear. Instant swap.

Stunning simplicity
This tip is a knockout. Easy to wear. I’ve paired with white and navy shirts plus some cream Annie Thompson linen pants and every pairing is a hit. The fabric is really unique and has an ever so slight metallic sheen to it (but it’s not shiny). If you’re on the fence, rent it. If the girls are bodacious, consider sizing up. I’m a 34C and 36” at the bust and any bigger would have made the top too small. Considering a purchase!

This fit perfectly and the only reason I didn't wear it is because I rented for size so I can keep my eye on it to rent for winter and possibly purchase. Great design.

Petites, SKIP THIS ONE!
I was so looking forward to finally renting this one but as soon as I put it on, I realized it was an immediate swap. Absolutely massive. Everywhere. Huge sleeves, in width and length. Way too long (ankles). There's no way another size would have made this look remotely fashionable. I felt like a wayward pair of curtains in a belt. SWAP.

No Strech. Size WAY up!
I ordered a 4 but couldn't even zip this up. I should have read more about the fabric before deciding on a size. I think that if I sized up to fit the ladies, it would have been massive in the waist/hips. Immediate swap.

Way too "boob-y"
Honestly, I have fake boobs and never shy away from something that I might need to wear braless. Thus, I dismissed other reviewers' concerns about the "booby-ness" of this dress to my own demise. The dress itself is a beautiful flowy fabric. Yes, you'll need to steam or iron. It looks perfect if you're standing still but dare you lean one direction or the other or sit down, get ready for the girls to pop out and say hello. It's simply a poor execution of a beautiful design. Ultimately it wasn't my style but I'd loved wearing it a bit more if it had contained the ladies with a bit more gusto. Oh, and I probably could've sized down to a 4 in this one. I've lost some weight lately and am still trying to get a grip on sizes.

Shapeless and stiff
Was so excited to get this set because it’s totally my vibe, but it was a fail. The top was way too stiff and boxy and didn’t even really lend itself to being worn open with a top underneath because it didn’t drape well. Instant swap.

Forgiving and ideal for vacay
Rented this for our trip to Italy (hence the cycling tan lines!). Really a fun number. Comfortable and breezy. Fabric is thinner than you’d think but not see through at all. Tough to lay down and lounge in, though. Considering a purchase.

Stellar. Rent it!
Rented this for my trip to Italy and bought it before takeoff. Just wow. Ridiculously effortless and stylish all at once. I’m a 34C and sized up to a M top. It was a toss up between the S and M pants but went with the M because of the fitted waist. I just hate things too tight on my waist. The pants are VERY voluminous BTW. So flowy. Really. If you’re on the fence, rent it. The entire ensemble is 5/5 stars. Also, the photos here show the outfit after being packed for 6 days. Pressed it, packed it, wore it. We use packing cubes.

Serious vinyl tablecloth vibes
This had such great reviews, so I gave it a shot and ended up not caring for the fabric or the pattern. The fabric is a rough, poly-crepe. Just ew. And while it fit like a glove, the entire pattern gave serious 80s backyard picnic vinyl tablecloth vibes. Was hoping to bring this on a European vacation but it went right back in the bag.

Effortlessly sexy!
I regret not taking photos of this one, but I'll try to post in the future. The short story? I bought it! I got this the day of my graduation and threw it on for my grad party so I could slip into something more comfortable. I hadn't even tried it on yet and said an audible "wow" when I saw this on! My spouse was like, "Tell me you're bringing that to Italy." :) Yes, you may need to use a safety pin to secure the front to your preferred level of cleavage. I wore this with nipple covers, no bra, and a pin so I wouldn't flash my friends (hey, we're friends but not FRIENDS y'know?). Paired it with some chunky nude sandals from Clarks, and it was a knockout. Definitely not see-through, but it IS sheer, if you know what I mean. I think it'll also be cute with a white bralette underneath. I'm off to pack for Italy with this sweet number!

A sexy little picnic snack!
I gave this one a shot based on the reviews and I'm glad I did! It's a complete delight and VERY forgiving everywhere it matters. I wore this with some red wedge sandals and got several compliments throughout the evening at my graduation party (which I treated like the Oscars including several outfit changes!).

WOWZA!
Look, it took me until 52 years old to get my Master's degree and I dang sure wasn't going across that stage without some disco on my bod. This is a true body-con dress that is more metallic than the photos give it credit for. I paired it with a specialty bra from VS that's cut low and put the twins on full display *chef's kiss*. I felt like an absolute diva. This did hit mid-calf on me (I'm 5'4 on a good day), but all in all, it showed my curves and I ain't mad! Give it a shot but just know that shapewear and a specialty bra is gonna make it or break it.

Size down!
I ordered my standard 6 in this and knew the minute I saw it out of the shipping bag it was absolutely huge. This is a rectangular shape, no darts or form-fitting features. Waist is a lightweight drawstring and fabric is stiff---maybe because it was NWT. I'd love to try again in a size or two down and after it's been through a few rentals to see if the fabric is less stiff. Cute pattern but not for me.

From dream jumpsuit to quick return
The moment I put this on, I knew I'd be buying it. It's that effortless jumpsuit that's soft, comfortable, and super flattering! That is, until you sit down in it. The straps fall off your shoulders like reaching your elbows is an Olympic event. The were cinched all the way down in back but STILL fell off. Every. Five. Minutes. Sadly, this one turned into a quick swap. So sad. The wash on the denim is truly devine.

Cutie patootie dress
The large was way too big, but I wore it twice and super cinched the belt for a more flattering silhouette. Didn't have button problems like other rents, but perhaps because it was a roomier fit. Got a ton of compliments and have swapped it for an M for another go. Could be a purchase!

I'm predictably a 27 in AG but these ran large, especially in the waist. Crisp dark blue and comfy stretch. Will return and re-order in a 26. While inconvenient, I'll take the ego boost and downsize.
