Looks great, feels great!
The colors are lovely, the slits go up to your knees so high enough to walk but not showing too much when you sit. I've dressed it up for a wedding and worn it for date night with my hubby. Very tempted to purchase it. It's straight cut, which I don't always gravitate too but fitted in the bodice with enough give in the stomach and thighs. No pockets.

Fun dress with pockets!
I would size down... I'm in between sizes so a little gap on the sides but it was great and you could leave some of the bottoms at the bottom or top open if you want a different look.

Great pants!
They are not only look good but are comfortable too! Wore them for presentations with several different looks. Almost bought them but even 57% off they are still pricey. They are also a bit heavier so good for 3/4 of the year in DC but not summer!

I wanted to like this more, the color and corduroy, but it was kind of stiff.

I liked this more than expected, wore it with black and brown pants, layered with blue and black. Not too heavy, and it was snug in all the right places.

Flattering!
This hugs in the right places and looked great with a pair of boots. It is very fitted on the band right under your breast line, no stretch. Felt sexy without everything falling out.

Great two tone!
These are vibrant, cut well and fun. They were snug, so if you are between sizes, go up. They have a sheen to them that makes them easy to dress up or down.

Light, fluttery and feminine
Perfect for the heat, but the pants are VERY long, I'm 5'5" and i used fabric tape to shorten so I could wear them. I dressed them up with sandals and wore them with sneakers too. I even had some of the colors in tops to mix and match. Loved them except for the length and no pockets.

Loved this!
Slinky, fun, dress up or down, but like so many other RTR, straps were sooooo long. I wore a little jacket over. I didn't have to unzip the zipper on the size 12 so if you want something more fitted and are in between sizes, go down a size. I was able to wear flats so this was not one of the overly long dresses although it does go to the floor.

Fun and light
The fabric is kind of like parachute material & lined. The skirt pattern is not supported to line up, it’s fitted in the right places & flairs. Like so many, straps were too long so I used fabric tape to keep them up. Perfect for hot summer with sneakers or sandals!

Great and versatile!
I wore them with sneakers, I wore them with sandals, I'm 5'5" and they weren't toooooo long for a change! They are a substantial weight so I am going with more summery stuff now, but I LOVED these and they come in all sorts of colors and patterns. They are high-waisted and comfortable, plus they look sharp.

Worked for a virtual conference and I rolled the sleeves up to make it a bit more casual. It's a knit and worked well, could be mixed and matched with several color palettes. I'd keep it longer but wanted to swap for some other things!

Great pants!
You can wear these for fun or a less conservative workplace. Zip them or not, I had some issue on sizing and the first pair were too big, second too small and now I have the size in the middle :)

Classy and elegant!
I did wear slimming full hose that went up to my bra line to have a smooth line, but the dress was comfortable, pulled in at the waist so flattering. Slit does go high and opens when you sit. The straps were a bit long and not adjustable, I would tape them next time. Wore if for my daughter's wedding and got lots of compliments!

Silky and Sexy!
Wore it for the rehearsal dinner the night before my daughter's wedding that we were hosting at a latin restaurant. I did have to wear a cami under because even with tape, the top opened, despite this, I felt like a million bucks. And it was fun to dance in when the mariachis arrived!

the straps were stretchy and a bit stretched out, but it was cute ad looked good with a little sweater over. It's layered and heavier so can work on cooler days of fall or spring as well

Fun, flexible and not your every day pants!
They were longer on me than some (5'5") but I had fun with them, wore them with a more formal fitted white blouse, and with a tshirt. The fabric is not thin, it's a nice weight and flattering. They swish at the bottom when you walk, rent them you will have some fun!

Beautiful dress, beautiful fit!
Seems to work on many different body shapes. The material is stretchy so forgiving and looks plush. Many compliments and you can wear it on or off the shoulders. I wore it off. The only tough part, getting the sleeves in a coat if it's cold!

If you aren't REALLY TALL...
These are a fun color and soft corduroy with two buttons so you can adjust the straps, kind of...there's no way around the length, at 5'5" I'd have to wear 10 inch lifts to get the pants not to drag on the floor. bummer had to take them off.

Casual themed event
Wore this for a Scottish Highland wedding with a corset vest over it. Worked, well together, the material is light, there were no pockets, I wouldn't rent it for a regular event, ran large.

Bright, fun, criss cross straps w/pockets!
This is fully lined, with nice deep pockets. The crisis cross straps matter because, unlike so many RTR dresses, they didn't fall. It was fun for traveling and wandering around a cute little town shopping with friends, and paired with sneakers, and I could have dressed it up with some sandals.

Ran small, couldn't zip it, didn't feel like quality, and was looking for something nicer. Also was much more white than green

It fits well and looks flattering, but it's just "normal" nothing terribly exciting.
If you need something solid for the office, it would go well under a solid jacket and look good with some sandals for something more casual. Nothing to write home about.

Fun, bright, great for summer
Wore this multiple times with white or blue shorts or pants. You need a racerback bra because of the cut. This was well made, nice quality material and was nice to throw on when you wanted something nicer than a t-shirt. It's not skin tight, so flattering as well.

Just sort of frumpy, even my husband said, "Meh". Didn't wear it.
Liked the idea of it, but just was sort of baggy and shapeless, could have tried a smaller size, but...

It's linen so it wrinkles...I took it on a trip and it didn't travel well folded in the bag. I'm a low maintenance kind of person so this didn't work for me. It's very high waisted as well, but loved the idea.
