Wore these pants on a cool weather vacation and loved the combination of dressed down style and comfort. I loved the high waist to cover my tummy.

Beautiful pants but too long for a petite frame.
I loved these pants but took them on vacation without packing fabric tape. On the day I wore them they were far too long for my 5ft 1 frame.

Super stylish and practical
Used this bag for a week travelling. It was perfect for the journey (loads of pockets but looked stylish), dinners out and casual lunches. The only slight downside was the clattering the chain made as it adjusted.

Loved these pants!
Paired with a hot pink top and received multiple compliments. Very happy they weren’t too long for my petite frame. Super airy and cool in very hot weather.

Beautiful romper, material too thick for hot weather
I lived this romper but it made my underarms sore by the end of the day, despite not feeling too tight. I received multiple compliments. As with all rompers, difficult to get in and out of but particularly difficult in hot weather.

Off The Shoulder Romper
Peter Som x RTR

Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 1"
Weight: 149lbs

Not flattering for the petite frame
I was so excited about this dress, but it was not flattering at all. It emphasised my middle section in all the wrong places and made me look pregnant. Tried it on and put it straight back in the RTR bag.

Impossible to get into
I was really excited about this top but I couldn’t get into it so wasn’t able to wear it. The material wasn’t stretchy and it felt quite scratchy in my hands. Very disappointed!

Impossible to get into
I’m 5 ft 1 and of slim build. I ordered the large to ensure I could get into it (my usual size is medium). The large was very small. I could not wear this unfortunately.

Stylish, high impact, comfortable dress - belt would not stay in a bow
Wore this dress for an interview dinner, where I wanted to look stylish and smart, but still comfortable. It was perfect! It also did not wrinkle in my travel bag. The only slight problem was the belt, which I tied in a bow but it kept slipping undone. I wore a Medium and it was snug on my waist.

Great Jones
Size Worn: MR
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 1"

Bust: 36B
Great summer party dress, covered my mid-section perfectly. I received lots of compliments.
I could just about fit into the size 10, and it was perfect around the bust (I wear 36B) but the midsection was too tight, although I could close the zipper. I wore the size 12 to the party and needed a strapless bra to make the top fit, but the midsection was perfect. I dance the night away and felt very comfortable in it.

Needs a belt to complete the look
With the addition of a belt the dress fitted me perfectly. I gave it 4 stars because the material is a little stiff. I’m only 5’1 so think it made me look bigger than I am but otherwise it was great for a summer date evening meal with my husband.

Light, comfortable and stylish
I wore this to an informal drinks reception and got several compliments. It is a very light dress and the size 10 fit me perfectly.

Very tight in the mid-section
I was so disappointed I could not close the zipper on this dress! It fit me perfectly on the bust and hips but there is no flexibility in the torso area so I was about half an inch away from closing the zipper. Unfortunately this meant I couldn’t wear the dress for my planned event.
