I loved this dress!!!
I sized up based on a review I read and I'm glad I did. Although the dress fit well in the 4 (I typically wear a 2) the arms were TIGHT! This seems to be a feature that is common in many high end pieces. I workout and have muscular arms but never notice an issue when wearing non-luxury brands. Anyway, I loved this dress and would definitely buy this if I didn't think cleaning it would be such a pain. Will definitely rent again.

I wanted to love this but just couldn't.
It had a weird stretched out look to the fabric that made it lay strangely on the body. Open it would have been fine but zipped up it was just not cute.

These buttons are the worst!
They were so difficult to get the buttons done and undone it wasn't worth wearing. Very scratchy and I'll fitting.

Small in the hips...
This was beautiful but there is very little stretch to the fabric and it's not cut for someone with hips or a butt. This left no room for movement without the dress riding up. I don't do a lot of running around at work so it wasn't an issue but I will size up next time. Sadly, the top of this dress fit me perfectly so I doubt the top will fit well at a size up.

Torn between love and hate
I can't decide if I love this so much I want to buy it or hate it so much that I need to send it back on the next shipment! It's super warm, soft, and cozy to wear and I love how it falls and looks with jeans and a tank. However, the huge downfall is the material is that fuzzy material that leaves lint EVERYWHERE! It's so annoying to see my tank or leggings covered in gray lint. If you don't mind lint and are attracted to this style you love this. If lint is an issue then stay away from this one.

Very long and odd fitting in the waist
I'm normally a 2 but RTR recommended a 4 in these. They were loose in the waist/tummy area but fit nicely in the legs/butt. Unfortunately, there were quite long and didn't really have the cute ankle length on me which would have made these much nicer. The waist hit super high as well making it not a good pair of trousers to tuck a shirt into. It's comfy but overall an odd fit for anyone under 5'6 or so. I'm 5'3 and it was just too long in the legs and too long from crotch to waist.

Cute but...
I loved this but the straps are pretty wide and would work for a more broad shoulder. Be careful though, the rib cage is small.

Didn't work for me
This didn't work for me. You can't really see it in the pics but there's a slit in the thigh which isn't appropriate where I work so I couldn't wear it.

Dry cleaners didn't press the liner correctly
The liner was bunched up and created a puffy bum look. Otherwise it would have been cute.

Hard to send back!
I'm so in love with this blazer I can't manage to part with it. Maybe after a few more wears. Or I'll buy it.

I really wanted to love this one...
Sadly it just didn't work for my body type. The cinching is too high which made my waist look much larger and shortened my torso. It also gave the appearance of my hips/bum being much larger than it is. It was also quite tight on my arms. It was big in some areas and small in others. It just wasn't really flattering on me but it's made really well and the material is fantastic. I think it would be gorgeous on a taller more lanky frame. Just not my shorter frame.

Love the color
This looks great on. Wore it with a black chiffon blouse and black trousers. Great pop of color while still being professional

Really nice menswear type of blazer
Not sure if it supposed to be but this fits like menswear. It's large but I loved how it fit comfortably loose over my top. I left it open and loved the effect of the oversized blazer with a fitted blouse. Highly recommend this one!

Love this top, buuuut....
This is a beautiful top made with really great quality material. I love how it fits with the exception of the arms. They are kind of short! I'm only 5'3 so arm length should never be an issue yet it was. Luckily I wore a blazer with it so it wasn't really noticeable but it was definitely disappointing to know I couldn't wear it without a jacket or something to cover the short arm length.

Beautiful but fussy
This is a super cute blazer but it's kind of fussy. The black has some sheen to it so it was hard to find a material that it works well with and the sleeves kept opening up. It's hard to tie nicely while being secure.

Classy and versatile
I wore this to work with some black palazzo pants and it was beautiful. It would be super cute with a pair of jeans too. Love it.

Super cute, buuuuut.....
This blazer is beautiful on and brought in a lot of compliments. However, it's SUPER tight in the underarm/upper bicep area. Like so tight it was literally causing my arm to fall asleep. The rest of the blazer fit great, slightly big even, but those arms were ridiculously small.

This dress fit terribly.
It was HUGE in the chest and waist while being really tight in the booty which made it fall weird.

Not the best fabric
This was a really nice fit, slightly loose in the waist/rib cage area but that's common for me. Unfortunately, the fabric seemed kind of cheap to me. Enough so that I decided not to wear it. It's also really long for someone under 5'5.

This dress was beautiful. My husband loved it and I received a lot of compliments.
Pros: the dress details are beautiful. Fits great overall. Cons: Very long....I had to wear extremely high shoes and still had to hold the skirt up a little when I walked to avoid tripping.
