Nice details, but zipper pull kept hitting me
This was awkward to wear while walking, the zipper pull kept hitting my leg when I moved to fast, sat down/stood up. Only wore once despite overall comfort.
Black Bow Tie Dress
Rosetta Getty x RTR
Size Worn: 12
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 7"
Weight: 170lbs
Bust: 38B
Beautiful topstitching, but very boxy
Not really sure how to style this to be flattering. If you have curves, this will hid them and then it's too boxy/bulky to cinch with a belt.

Size up based on height
I sized up because the dress has stretch and would otherwise be too short for my 40 y/o 5'7'' self. Overall this was very lightweight, but also a bit on the sheer side so wear your version of nude or be prepared for everyone to know the color of your bra.

Nice color, very structured
This is so easy to wear and look very put together thanks to the structure and fit of the dress, with just a little bit of stretch. For someone with a smaller chest (typically B) the zipper lay nicely flat/straight.

Great feel, great proportions
I love how this collar is just a little "big", gives more visual interest for a day-to-day outfit. And the wool/cashmere blend is perfectly soft.

Twists too easily
This was difficult to wear because it kept twisting which also made it quite sharp on the skin. Could not wear for a few minutes let alone a whole day.

Perfect for layering
I really enjoyed layering this over dresses, tops/jeans, or even more athleisure wear. I think the soft pink worked well with darker neutrals (navy, slate grey, olive, etc.).

Odd cut, very comfortable
The cut worked well for me with my smaller chest (38B), but the arms were too loose to create a nice overall shape, and even with the wrap collar the overall fit was very boxy.

Odd proportions, fun to style
Easy to dress up/down, but weird all around fit, very tight vs. loose between waist and hips, shoulders and arms.

Flowing Button Front Dress
Saunders x RTR
Size Worn: 12

Very soft material, great pattern and the details make this party ready
I didn't love that this was a button up dress given the pattern, but very easy to put on/off without undoing all the buttons

Floral Cardigan Dress
Jason Wu x RTR
Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 7"

Sleeves are extra long (as pictured)
I thought overall cut was great and nice beige color, but the sleeves are not just long but overly large/loose overall compared with the overall fit.

Nicholas
Size Worn: XL

The cut of the sweater doesn't allow you to button the bottom button (as pictured)
The color is a very nice pale pink, notably pink, but the length/cut of the sweater is odd so I only wore it once.

Definitely a nice blue-green sweater
The cable knit details are much more noticeable in person (in a good way). The overall fit is ideal, could style it easily with skirts/over a slip dress or with jeans for easy day to date looks.

Definitely big, mostly too long for typical size (L).
So warm, beautiful color and knit, I ended up buying the M to get the right length, just at the hips and over the wrists.

VERY warm
I wore this mostly in about 40-50deg C weather, a bit too warm when it was ~50. Highlight for me were the 2 big front pockets and that the jacket looks cool both buttoned up and worn open.

Fits phone, lip balm, keys and a few credit cards/bills
This was perfect for a weekend getaway, the bag can sit nicely in my lap when I'm out dining, and otherwise sits nicely and discretely on my hip when slung over my shoulder. Also the material itself is sooo soft and a delight to hold.

Great pattern, very warm, a little short
I found the cut/trim and the bottom of the sweater a little odd; not really fitted or loose and better fit for a shorter torso, not quite a crop top. Overall pattern is very nice contrast and perfectly laid out. I also appreciated the zip up neck for chilly evenings.

I enjoyed wearing this for a regular day - office, errands, etc. I think it's a great everyday sweater.

So soft and shiny!
I loved this dress, it was easy to wear and the material is so soft - great movement and excellent pleating details. You can easily dress it up/down, so perfect for traveling.
Navy Plisse Midi Dress
Atlein x RTR
Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 7"
Weight: 170lbs
A little short, and a little long
The overall dimensions of this are a bit off, the flared sleeves are a little too long/wide in proportion with the skirt, which was quite short with little flare. Thought it looked best with tights/loafers.
Henley Knit Dress
Marissa Webb x RTR

Looks cool, doesn't seem great for sun protection
I could practically wear these indoors, they are so "clear", but they did provide some sun protection and I especially like the curvy details of the frames.

Excellent lining, cut - too short for me at 5' 7''
When I sat down the dress would barely cover my behind. Think it's perfect for a low key bar night out, day to night dress with tights!

Beautiful color, especially for fall. But very small interior that could barely fit phone and a pair of sunglasses.

Lovely sparkles
This was a perfect go to work/go out top. The material itself is not very soft because of the metallic thread/sparkly knit, but also not scratchy/itchy.

Stripes at the shoulder look odd/cut in half
I don't think the stripe placement is ideal at most points, but the overall "twist" in the dress created good movement and I received several compliments both times I wore it.

Clean collar, nice weave
This was a bit short for me, so I only wore it 1x with high waisted jeans. It is a very nice cut and the collar laid nice and flat (heavy weight knit) and the details of the knit really elevated this to high end wear.

Too itchy!!
I love this fit, color and design, but could not wear for more than 15 minutes. Itchy is too mild, scratchy is more apt.

Flowy with a high waist (also pockets!)
I love this floral/pixelated/watercolor print. The sleeves hit nicely at the wrists and length is a bit shorter than pictured (at 5' 7'' I'm not tall and this hit closer to 4 inches above the knee vs. just above. Even for someone with a straighter body type, this gave some definition at the waist and then moved/flowed nicely.

Very fitted, a little long on the sleeves
At 5' 7'' the slits started right at the knees, so it was super easy to move around in this. The collar seemed a bit smaller in person (just around the neck vs. half way) so if you're looking for something with just a bit of 'drama' this is not it.

Lovely for a formal, summer wedding, but a bit fussy with 'bustles'!
Overall, the length was perfect for me when I was wearing 2/2.5 inch heels. The material is light weight and well lined. The overall cut was a bit fussy with the pleats and 'bustle', but also what really elevates the dress for a formal affair. I found that I needed to 'readjust' pretty much anytime I went from sitting to standing, especially around the front waist, it's not well secured, i.e. not sewn into place, so it moves when you do.

Goes with everything, added just a bit of sparkle
It was very soft to the touch and easy to carry. Although the overall size is as described, the interior can barely fit an iPhone SE and 1 lipgloss, but it did have nice extra small interior pocket that was perfect for cash/card. Additionally the 'chain' was short and turns it into a wrist, so not really functional and just taking up a little bit of space needed.

Dinner, dancing and drinks! A classy night with friends and co-workers.
Beautiful color and cut, the pattern lines up very well and the open lace on top is gorgeous. As for the design, given that this dress runs XS-L, they are missing two key features: (1) there is no back slit on the bottom of this dress, so it was not great for dancing and overall felt a little tight. (2) There is little to no stretch along the back zipper, so definitely get your regular size and a size up.
