Road trip cute
I got these shorts for a weekend road trip. They were so cute and comfy, and fit me, and the price was right so I bought them! Will be nice to have some fun and flattering shorts to wear the rest of the summer.

Great skirt!
I love this skirt way more than I expected to! It fits perfectly, is flattering, and comfortable. The material is heavyweight denim with a nice bit of stretchiness. This would be a great year-round skirt - the cottony feel and above-the-knee length makes it cool enough for summer wear, but the heavyweight fabric would also go great with tights or leggings, tall boots, and a turtleneck for cooler weather. The details are adorable, the A-line silhouette is nicely slimming, and as a bonus, the side buttons are functional! With the bottom buttons undone on either side this was comfortable and stretchy enough to bike to work in on a step-through bike. Great for active days, modest enough to wear to work for a dress-down day!

Felt a little floofy but comfy top
I liked the look of this top in theory, but in practice the lace sleeves just made it feel a bit too ... floofy. But, comfy and fit fine. I wore it on my short bike commute to work for a casual day, and one thing to note is that if you sweat in it, it really shows the sweat spots on this fabric.

Cute, flattering, versatile summer kickaround dress
My normal dress size is between a 10 and 12, and the 10 fit perfectly and was very flattering to my pear-shaped figure. I got compliments and admiring looks. I could immediately think of 20 different occasions where this would be the perfect thing to wear, so I considered buying it, but then I remembered it was dry clean only. Also, it wrinkles easily. The straps do tend to fall down. I liked it layered over a red spaghetti strap tank top for a casual no-bra look and protection against any wardrobe malfunctions.

Shouldn't have sized up
Usual size in bottoms is 12, RTR recommended a 31 in this but I thought that must be crazy talk since my waist measures 33 around. So I sized up to a 33, but it hung off me and felt much too loose. I should have gotten the recommended size! I think this may work best for hourglass shapes, people with small waists relative to their hips. Not so ideal for pear folks with bigger waists.

Cute and well-made denim skirt, wish I'd sized down
I wore this to work for casual Friday and then out to a casual pizza dinner. It worked fine but I wish I'd sized down to a 10 instead of getting my usual size 12.

Perfect flowy comfortable summer dress
I really liked the cut of this dress and the drapey fabric. Really versatile, forgiving, comfy, stylish, and easy to wear. I even biked to work in it on a step-through bike during a heat wave and then wore it at the office under a pink cardigan. It's hard to tell from the online pictures but the print has little pink and peach flowers so it can coordinate with those colors. I got compliments on it. I also wore it out shopping and to a pool hangout on the weekend - can easily be dressed up or down. It had a few wrinkles after sitting in an office chair all day, but not too bad really.

Comfy cute sweatshirt
Medium is generously sized on me, with the arms a bit long (I'm a 38B or 36C in the chest) - I might have been able to wear a small. And I am tempted to roll the arms up. The fabric is kind of terrycloth on the inner side, not soft fleece, but still comfy. And the design and color are so cute. A really nice lounge piece.

Fun and comfy
The loose fit is very comfy-casual and the bright poppy color is so much fun. I particularly love that I can get away with going braless in this since the front fabric is textured and double-layered. I'm a size 12 on bottom, and sometimes I wear a smaller size on top, which can make dress sizes tricky. An XL felt pretty loose on top and I might have been able to wear a size large in this dress instead. But the drop-waist cut is pretty forgiving so I think the bigger size still works.

Pretty print
This is definitely not the most slimming skirt ever, because of the smocking around the waist, but I liked the feminine design and print. I normally wear a US size 12 in bottoms and a UK 16 in this skirt was comfortable and fit well. The print is very cute up close with a lot of different colors to match with different tops. The fabric is a little more stiff than I expected and feels like thick good-quality cotton. The length just above the knee (for 5'5" me) is very versatile and fun.

Very cute jeans
I'm normally a US size 12 in pants and these fit true to size. Super comfy and I feel very cute in them. Probably good to pair them with a shorter-length top or tucked-in tee because the front pockets and buttons are nicely detailed.
