Tight in the chest if you are busty and it gaps in places . Overall it wrinkles easy and was a bit matronly .

Sheerly body con
Couldn’t wear. Another great concept but too body con and sheer for work . Great for a date perhaps but my bust felt very pronounced and I would’ve been too conscious

It’s a bust for the well endowed
Couldn’t wear. Loved the color and concept but missed the reviews on busts. Buttons gapped and I didn’t want to add a cami .

Options
I enjoyed this more than I should, and it comes down to versatility. It looked good with work slacks and it looked equally good with jeans. I can see how others find the tie around the neck, awkward but I think you can wear that multiple ways depending on the vibe you wanna give off

For Shoshana, this was surprisingly narrowly cut with no stretch. I was terrified I couldn’t get out of it not flattering very disappointing.

This looks better in pictures, but I didn’t take a picture wearing it. It didn’t have much stretch and in person it felt a little stuffy.

Boxy on boxy
I like the idea of this, but on a short busty girl it hit wrong with the waist. It just made me feel very square and boxy. Good material but it’s a little bit thick so it’s adding bulk.

Funky and fun
This could be cropped on most people, but I’m short so it just hit the top of my pants. Really enjoyed that it had a different look. An extra touches like the top of the arms made it unique.

Smaller than it looks
This presents like a medium capacity but it’s small. Very cute but I wish the strap adjusted and it’s very slim inside which made getting keys or phone hard. The clasp is clumsy I feel and I fumbled and dropped a few times trying to get my keys or credit card . It was ok .

Wonderful dress with a great drape to it and just enough edge. Tons of compliments. I imagine the ties on the sleeves may annoy some but I made sure they were tied well prior to wearing the dress . Loved it !

Winter staple for some
If you like a thick flattering winter dress this is good but you have to commit to the weird arm shape on this dress. I struggled to love beacuse the arms were too odd.

Flattering and great material. Tying up front really makes it stand out. It has a high slit up front that could be dangerous for tall ladies .

It’s giving Poison Ivy at a funeral
I wanted to like this . Looked great online . In person color was a moss shade of green that was not flattering but moreover it had a dated look. My daughter said it best- it’s giving Poison Ivy at a funeral vibes . Meh. I didn’t wear it

Mad for plaid
I took a chance on this one and I’m glad I did. I usually can’t get away with a lot of pattern that was really comfortable with the muted colors and the details on this, took it over the top.. loved the zipper up the back and the slight puff on the sleeves elevated this . I know some folks didn’t love the sash situation and it could accentuate problem areas for some ladies . But for a short curvy busty gal this hit all the right notes . Multiple compliments . A flight attendant asked me where I got it. Should’ve made sure I got the referral credit from RTR for sending her to site :)

Meh
Maybe I should've sized down but it's hard to tell with DVF. Note that's where it may help. RTR to add measurements of clothes. This was too big and floppy all over. The front was very strange and belting it didn't help . I didn't wear out . I wanted to to live it but didn't .

This didn’t fit but seemed well made. I should have sized up as it was a wee bit too clingy . I don’t know that I would rent again as I don’t love the mock turtle neck

Cute but wide and long
Loved the color and concept . Def should size down for waist but this is hard for short ladies . They were very long even with a platform and the wideness caused me to almost trip over the material several times . Total office OSHA reportable. Very cute sitting down though!
