Size up but also the butt is weird
I should know by now to size up in Joe's, but I thought I'd still give my normal size a try. I was able to get them on, but they are tight. They also flatten your butt. And then the pockets seems to be a weird size. Like why is the pocket so long that it is basically on my upper thigh?

Functional? No. Sporty? Yes
I loved this jacket for what I rented it for--a Duke game in the ACC men's basketball semis. It pulled my outfit together exactly as I imagined and honestly, I thought it was pretty cool even without the basketball game. Is it functional? Absolutely not. The whole thing (yes, even the hood) is mesh. But I knew going in that I wasn't renting it for warmth or any other sort of protection from the elements. Worn with RtA Dallas Black Jeans and Helmut Lang Cozy Bra.

Don't go anywhere windy
I loved the style of the dress although it runs small. If you have an athletic or otherwise broad back, beware. It will be tight with no give. But then if you happen to be a member of the IBTC, you have to worry about the sleeves falling off. I wore this for a tasting menu lunch in Healdsburg, California and thankfully I wore a cardigan. Even with that though I felt like I was battling the dress to make sure I wasn't exposing anything up there or down there. The bottom slit comes up really high and the top wrap goes down low. Finally, although again I loved the style of the dress and how it looks on many of the gorgeous women here, ultimately I don't think it flatters an athletic build.

I wish I could have worn it!
This is the first time I've received a RTR outfit that I didn't wear but felt the need to post a review. The skirt is gorgeous. And it has a beautiful, luxurious feel to it (all the way down to the zipper). Unfortunately, it's a bit too formal for my Silicon Valley office and a bit too fun for my New York office. I would definitely wear this to a spring religious ceremony such as Easter. Two things to note are that I thought it ran a tad large. I normally wear a size 0. It can also be a bit long and "big" in terms of volume on a small person. I'm 5'1. Hoping to get this again at some point in the future, although I'll miss out on the NWT fun.

Winter work outfit
Paired with sheer tights and boots which gave the dress a sexy but still work appropriate feel. Loved this outfit.

Monte Carlo Themed Holiday Party
This was the perfect dress for a casino night themed holiday party. I was worried because of one review since I am pretty petite and have a more athleic build (5'2, 32B, broad shoulders) but this dress was hot. I do wish my push up bra would have worked as it would have made the dress that much hotter, but it wasn't deep enough. The dress still looked great though and the sequins weren't even as scratchy as I expected them to be based on other reviews.

Comfy and easy
Very comfy, good for work, looks classy. Only thing is I️ wouldn't wear it without tights (it was freezing anyways so that was my original plan). But it raised up quite a bit when I'd raise my arms

So comfy
I loved this. It was super comfy and flattering. Sleeves we're long but easily rolled up. I wanted to keep it.

Unique
I liked how unique this was. I originally saw it on the app and was going to get it for work but decided against it with the full zipper in the front. Then the item I ordered wasn't going to be available and I saw this in the store. So glad I gave it a second chance. I was surprised by the weight of the material. Between that, the length, and the swinging as, this felt more work appropriate than other dresses I've ordered. Didn't worry about it once throughout the day despite the nice hugging fit and the full zipper.

Pushing the envelope
Loved the fit and cut but it might have been pushing it a little too far in terms of length. The dress would frequently ride up when I walked and I would have to pull it down.

Hot
This dress is hot. But I didn't feel uncomfortable or inappropriate at work. It definitely runs small - I usually wear a 0 but the size 2 fit perfectly. The only problem was getting the zipper up (I have broad shoulders). Once that was over, and it wasn't even bad, the dress fit snugly but not too tight. One of those dresses that just feels like it was tailored for you.

One of my favorites
Loved the way this fit and made me feel. Enough to make me feel sexy and confident but appropriate enough for work.

Nice, different work outfit
It's appropriate work attire but with some personality still. Only problem was that if you have broad shoulders like me you might have problems getting in and out of the dress.
