Great length for fellow talls and comfy enough....
I have a rough time with these sort of dresses because I am tall and curvy, which pulls the dresses up a bit. Didn't have that problem with this one, which was a win. Fabric is NOT scratchy at all; however, after sitting in it all day at work, it was not the most comfortable on my rear end. Normally stay away from yellow clothes because it doesn't flatter my skin tone but this looked really nice. My colleague said I was giving Audrey Hepburn vibes, which was flattering! Size down if you are between sizes.

Perfection!
If I was willing to spend on this sort of jacket, I would! I don't think I would get enough wear out of this to warrant the cost but this jacket is perfection. The cut is flattering, fabric is like butter and the small details around the shoulders / collar are fantastic.

The cloor and fabric is everything. Not the most flattering top but I tucked it in the front and it worked well.

Size up if in between sizes...
I am between a 4/6 and usually size up in pants. The 6 is slightly tight but wearable. Not sure the 8 would have looked good. Oversized clothes that are supposed to be fitted tend to look sloppy. I wore these with the Lapointe soft pink top and it looked great. Pants are thick but have some stretch to them. Quite comfortable, really. The sailor design buttons are fantastic and love that they are gold. Most of the jewelry I wear is gold so easy to add accessories.

Thick fabric that is best for fall / winter, imo. These just didn't look good on me. Popular style right now but not for me.

Stick with regular size - especially if you have hips!
This was actually a nice look but if I sit, the snaps will pop right open! I am between 4/6 and went with a 4L. Length was great but these hips don't lie, honey! Tall / narrow ladies will love this one. Definitely need to pair with a belt. Otherwise - total flop. Quality fabric (not the most comfortable, imo). The shoulders are very defined, in a good way.

Like but don't love....
I am keeping this but don't loooove it. Plan to pair with denim and heels. Reminds me of an old school Dickey's outfit but the quality is amazing and I do like the top. For the right person, this outfit will be amazing.

Miss
Not for me but I do like the style. Waist was ill fitting and if I went down a size the hips would be super tight. Fabric is STIFF. I mean really stiff. Keeping the top but this is going back with tags asap. Length is great if you are tall. I am on the curvy side so for a straight/narrow built gal, this will be a hit. It was a miss for me.

Perfect Easter pants!
These are lightweight, fun, bright and comfy! I am between 4/6 and went with the 4 in these. I am about 5'9" and these were just the right length to wear with flats. I would actually prefer they be a bit longer if I wore them with heels. Pairing with a white top and denim layer to calm things down a bit. Recommend.

Sweet jacket!
This jacket is sweet. It’ll keep you warm, is a great color, runs slightly large, the pocket on the sleeve is a little awkward but I don’t care.

This is such a great dress! Was hesitant regarding fit but thanks to other reviews, I sized up, and it is perfect! I’m between a 4/6 and ordered large. Can’t wait to wear on an upcoming cruise. Fun fact- this is the dress Madison Lecroy from Southern Charm is wearing in the cast photo.

Beautiful fabric / style!
This dress is so classy and fun! First Saloni rental I decided to grab and it did not disappoint. Saloni thought of every little detail with this one and it shows. I am between a 4/6 and went with the 6 because it is a no stretch dress. Because I am curvy I typically stick with stretchy / comfortable dresses but I was drawn to this one and decided to give it a try. I am almost 5'9" and the regular length works just fine for me.

Cool dress!
This is a cool dress! I love the simplicity of it but with the added wow factor of the flower top. Fabric was surprising as it is thinner than expected but good quality. This could be a tough dress for some depending on proportions. No stretch and you want it to fit tight or it will not look good. Between a 4/6 and went with the medium. Great fit and will wear for an upcoming cruise.

Great fit / style / dress.
I was pleased with this dress. I am wearing to an upcoming work event with black tights. Late January so the thick fabric and happy colors is perfect. Not stretchy so if you are between sizes, I would go up. It may provide a little more length too. NOrmally wear a 4 in dresses and because I am curvy tend to go for stretchy style / longer length dresses but this size 6 was perf.

Body will be body-ing hunty!
This fabric is like BUTTER. No shapewear needed and so smooth / buttery. The sleeves - my goodness. We must talk about the sleeves. They are TIGHT. Unwearable. I am tucking them in. The fluff top makes the bottom look even more snatched. This dress is everything and it was unexpected. My husband actually said "no" to this selection but I am willing to bet it will be one of his favorites.

Color and fit are amazing!
The color, fit, quality and overall look of this dress is amazing. I took a star off for comfort and it was a little hot. I wore indoors for a birthday party and was hot as heck. Loved the look though. I wore this with snakeskin boots and it really pulled together surprisingly well. Was almost perfect for the occassion (just a bit hot).

Color / fit / comfort - this checks alllll the boxes!
Loved this skirt! It was ridiculously comfortable compared to what it was going to be in my mind. I sized down and was happy I did. I have a small waist and the fabric actually has some stretch. A good fit is key with this piece. Loved everything about this!

Wanted to try it!
I rented this to simply try it to wear another time. I didn't like the fabric of this dress. Super stiff! The style is a young look that I just couldn't rock. Between the style and the color, it was just a no for me. I sized way up because it was the only size available so I cannot really comment on sizing.

Heavy / sequence / run small
These are heeeeeavy pants. I’m not a glitter or sequence lover and they have silver sequence, which I didn’t realize. They run small as well. I’m between a 4/6 and ordered the 6 assuming tweed had no stretch and I can’t even sit in these. Lined and high quality.

You have to make this one great! It's comfortable and if you adjust things properly, it is so cool! If you don't, it looks like a sloppy / untucked shirt over a skirt. Be willing to show some skin and this is a 10/10!

Size up if you are in between!
Normally wear a size 4 dress or 4/6 otherwise. Sent the 4 back and have a 6 otw! Color and style is fire! Hopefully sizing up doesn’t lose the style is the right waist / top. Fingers crossed. Will be so bummed if it doesn’t work bec I love this dress! *I am between sizes and ordered the 6 so updating. The 4 had the waist snatched but my backside scrunched up and chest was tight- which I don't like. That said, I kind of liked the look of the 4 better. Sizing up lost the structured look I prefer.

I didn't end up wearing this but planned to on a trip to Paris with tennis shoes. You can easily dress this up or down. Not the most flattering in the stomach area and I am not really a fringe type of gal. Versatile piece that would look decent on almost any body style.

Great colors / cute dress
This is a really cute dress. It arrived new with tags and went back new with tags. It just wasn't for me. Top is a little low cut but should be able to make it work easily with an undershirt or some fashion tape. The cut of this dress isn't flattering but it is flowy and very cute. Not my style, which I knew, but I am going ton a trip to Paris and wanted to try something different, which is one of the many reasons I love RTR. I could see this working for lots of gals, just not me.

Cute!
The style and color of this dress just missed the mark for me. It's cute but I was not looking for cute. I could see renting this for a teenager and it being perfect. Not too revealing / grown looking. Maybe that is what was off for me - it was giving young vibes? The straps are loose and have a tightening mechanism that doesn't seem to function well. I tightened the straps and all I had to do was a slight shoulder shrug and it popped right down. I really liked this but not for me.

Thick but comfy fabric!
The slit on this is a little high for me to wear to work (I am on the tall size at 5'9"). The style is perfection and you can dress this up or down. Because it is a nice thick fabric, I think I am going to pair this with a denim jacket and wear with tennis shoes on an upcoming flight to London. The color is very on trend now but also timeless.

Colors pop!!! Short tho.
Absolutely love the small details of these pants and the colors!! The little button in front and pockets in back are great touches. A lot of these kind of pants give flat butt and these don’t - they look great! I’m about 5’9” and these are short. Going to try to make them work because only one other item in my 10 item plan will be worn if I don’t! I really do love the colors!

Too short
I’m about 5’9” and this was too short for comfort for me. Material wasn’t the greatest for me either. Slightly itchy. Won’t be wearing so I can’t speak to much else. Loved the pattern. Shipping takes a little longer than usual these days, ordered Friday and received Tuesday evening. Bummed - only 1.5 items out of 10 will be worn!

Frumpy met cute
This dress may be cute on some, but definitely not me. Looked frumpy. I should know better but it was so dang cute. Oxford material so it wrinkles easy, a little tight in the bust and I am a small C bust, has pockets and is high quality. Didn’t work for me. Bummed! Out of 10 pieces I tried this haul, only 1.5 worked!

Effortless style....
This dress is great! High quality and cool style. The dangled piece is a little too much fabric and I wish there were more orange stripes down the backside of the dress but other than those two things, perfection! I am traveling to Hawai'i next month, which is a super casual place, but this dress will work with sandals just fine. Easily dressed up with open toe / closed toe heels too. Ladies - this is a good one! Sizing wise - I typically wear a S/4 in dresses but because it wasn't available, ordered the 6. The 6 actually fits perfect. If you are between sizes or typically order down for dresses (like me), go with the larger size.
