Award-winning gown
I wore this for an awards gala, and it was absolutely perfect. Perfect length, perfect fit. You cannot wear a bra without it showing, but the bodice is tight enough that I was able to go without. (And I never do!) the sides gaped very slightly, but the rest of the dress made up for it. So many compliments and very comfortable. A show stopper.

Beautiful summer wrap
This dress is adorable and perfect for brunch, a picnic, a shower. Very comfortable, easy to wear, no concerns about the wrap. The neckline was pretty revealing on me, so I wore a cami underneath. I usually wear an 18/20 in dresses, and I sized up to 22 in this one.

Great in every way except length
This was a super cute top - great cut, great fabric. But even up a size it was a crop top on me. Not even long enough for high-waisted jeans.

On the short side
I sized up in hopes that it wouldn't be too short - I have a long torso and was concerned when i read "slightly cropped." Well, it is very wide and kind of short on me. Not super flattering, but I've worn worse. It barely skims the waist of my jeans. Otherwise it's very cute. Note there is a bit of a keyhole opening in front that dips pretty low but is also narrow.

Love!
Loved this dress! Great fit, great colors. I did wear a cami underneath, as the neckline was a bit low for work.

Sized up too much
Loved everything about this except that I sized up too far. I have a long torso, so i usually size up in jumpsuits, but I think my regular size would fit in this one. Beautiful colors, great design. Will re-try in a smaller size.

This dress is cute, comfortable and flattering. Wore it to work with a little black cardigan and got so many compliments!

Great basic with flair
Love this top! I usually wear an 18/20 but have had issues with Eloqui before, so I ordered a 22, and it was perfect. I'm 5'9" with a longer torso, and this went just past my waist. The sleeves are super cute! Unfortunately the air was on full blast in the office, so I had to cover them with a sweater. If you need something over this, I'd recommend a structured jacket or heavier sweater - the sleeves on my light sweater puffed up with this top underneath.

Beautiful spring top
Love love love! Beautiful colors and detail. Perfect fit. Lots of compliments. Wore it twice and debated buying, but it's not in the budget right now.

Pretty in Pink
Cute, well-made bag. My laptop just fit in the middle zipped pocket. Held my laptop, wallet, phone, keys and water bottle but left little room for anything else. The straps were ok but could have been a little longer.

Beautiful but Big
Beautiful color, style and fabric. Very well made. I am a solid 18/20, and the 2X ran very big. I'm 5'9" and it was closer to a maxi than a midi, and I wore a jacket to hid the gaping armholes. I pulled the drawstring waist as tight as I could, but it kept falling below my hips.

Cute, versatile, true to size
I loved this dress - great color, great shape, great details! Other Hutch dresses have run large on me, so I went a size down in this one. I am a solid 2X (18/20) hourglass figure and ordered a 1x. I wish I would have gotten the 2X. The 1x fit, but it definitely hugged my curves (and required intensive Spanx). I wore this with a black leather jacket, black leather leggings and black ankle booties, and it was perfect for date night.

Cute but small
I love the color and unique style, but it runs really small. I usually wear an 18 in tops, and the 20 was very snug around the torso and hips. The fabric is also very thin - I needed a cami underneath.

Didn't blow me away
This top was cute for dinner on the beach, but I didn't love it. Felt a little frumpy, as there wasn't much shape to it. I liked it better with a jacket. On the plus side - good quality, beautiful fabric, no gapes in the armholes.

Great Summer Bag
Rented this for a beach trip. While it was too small to be my beach bag, it was the perfect summery purse for dinners out and shopping/exploring. Big enough for my wallet, phone, sunglasses case and a few other small things.

Cute but intense
This dress was a good rental for work, but I wouldn't buy it. The color was not exactly what i was expecting - more chartreuse than sunshine. The sleeves were also loose but short. I paired it with black tights, black booties and a black and white tweed blazer and got a lot of compliments. I felt the black and the jacket helped to tone down the intensity a bit and avoid the yellow washing me out.

Great look, small fit
This is a super cute classic plaid button down. The fabric is light and airy so it could be worn year round. The fit leaves something to be desired. I'm a solid 18/20, and the 3X ran small on me. The sleeves were short - somewhere between full and 3/4 - as was the overall length. I also could not button it over my chest without gapes.

Runs very small
This is a very pretty dress - beautiful colors, nice fabric - but it runs very small. It was obscenely short and snug. It would have been perfect for work if it had fit better.

Great weekend look
Wore this to brunch with the Junarose faux leather jacket (also from RTR), skinny jeans and black booties. Got so many compliments! This is a beautiful top that's perfect for the weekend. The arms are a bit long while the length runs short, but I love the fabric and pattern and the details around the neckline.

Bought It
I've been looking for a new leather/faux leather jacket, and this one checked all the boxes - sleek with a bit of edge, perfect fit, leather-like qualities. Also, the price was right, so now it's mine.

Perfect and versatile!
First, this is a beautiful, deep blue. Not quite baby, not quite royal, not quite teal. I am always hesitant with sheaths because I have an overstated hourglass figure, but this hit my curves in the right places and wasn't right anywhere. I wore it to work with a black blazer - would be perfect for a presentation or interview. I would also wear it to a social event, like a bridal shower or cocktail party when you need something on the conservative side. Will definitely keep it in my favorites.

Beautiful but Small
Beautiful color and fabric and nice cut, in theory. However, I am a solid 18/20, and this was way to small - I could barely get it on.

Cape of Compliments
Loved this! Beautiful, unique piece - exactly what RTR was designed for. I wore this to work, open over a black knit top and jeans and got so many compliments! Would definitely rent this one again.

Pretty, but odd fit
This blouse is beautiful and has potential, but it didn't fit quite right. I have a long torso, and because of the elastic waist, this rode up too much. The sleeves were also a bit odd - the elastic cuffs were snug, and the sleeves didn't move with my arms like they should. It was good for one wear.
