Cropped but not too much!
I wore this so many times and styled it so many different ways! I would have bought it if it would’ve been less expensive. It’s cropped but not too cropped so you can wear it with skirts or high waisted jeans or jean shorts. I absolutely loved it. It is very flowy and covers your arms too if you’re not crazy about that point and wave up top! 😜

Too small not sure COVID 20 to blame!
I was excited about these pants but I couldn't get them all the way up so could not wear them. Granted I have the COVID 20 but ordered a Large and about mid-thigh I knew they were a no go.

Great on trend puffy sleeves
I'm obsessed with the puffy sleeve trend but this sweater didn't do it for me. I'm large busted so even with high waisted pants, it was still super cropped and I ended up wearing a black tank under it. Not a favorite but would probably be great on someone who is not as curvy.

This dress looked like it was custom made for me. It hugged all the right places. Perfect for an hourglass figure. It's a head turner for sure!

I thought I would love this blazer but only liked it. It runs large and is quite boxy. I enjoyed the whimsical design that gave a kick to a work blazer.

Killer shirt! I cinched that puppy up though so it was very fitted. Big hit. Husband loved it too. I'd buy this in a heartbeat if it wasn't so spendy.

Great look & easy look
I wore this a couple of times. Unless you are operating with the buddy system, you have to put a drink limit on this jumpsuit though. Why in the world designers don't put the zipper somewhere you can reach it yourself without being a contortionist? I wore this to dinner in NYC & on date night with my husband too. Looks great. Great fit. Plus...our Mecca--pockets!

Wore the hell out of these pants. Fit is fantastic and you can dress up or down. I wore them with heels and wingtips. You need these flattering pants in your life.

Stylish, easy to wear & prepare to be bombarded with compliments
Runs a little big in the waist but incredible pants that I really want to buy. I was stopped multiple times & the compliments didn't stop. They were too big though & slowly worked their way down as I walked!!! I just subtly slid them up from time to time!

Softest chords ever & the color combats gloomy winter days!
These pants are rad! I just kept rubbing them. They are so soft & super comfy. I've worn them several times. A friend asked if they make the shhh shhh sound when I walk & after I informed him I still have thigh gap so they don't, I double checked & nope! Women rejoice!

I love how easy this is to wear. I think it's Tim Gunn who said if you have to ask yourself if it's a shirt or dress, it's a shirt. This is a shirt! I wore black leggings and my Colehan wingtips.

Amazing! You need this in your life.
I love this dress and may have to buy it. I didn't realize it is open in the back. Thankfully it's high waisted so I could get away with wearing it to work before seeing a musical the evening. Rave reviews and then some! So flattering and I felt glamorous.

Pattern is showstopper!
This runs large. The straps were very long. I wore a black and white striped V-neck T-shirt under it. The vibrant pattern is very special. It's also long. I'm 5'-8" and it touched the ground when I wore it with flats and was even long in wedges. That pattern is a head-turner for sure. I really like this dress & may try it in a smaller size again.

Stunning material & pattern
I sized up after reading the reviews, but it was really large. I wore a little black tank so I could still wear it. Love the pattern and silky material feels expensive. It was a big hit.

I'm not typically this precious but this dress is very sweet. Love the pattern. All of this line runs small, especially if you have anything upstairs. Everyone loved it & it's easy to wear.

Modern pant, great fit!
I really like these pants. I wore them with a white short sleeved cotton shirt that has a thin ruffle down the sleeves. They're navy not black in case you didn't notice either. I'd rent again & got several compliments as usual on my RTR pieces.

I ended up not wearing this but just preferred other options. I think you could wear this several different ways & would be more flattering on someone long and lean.

This is one of my absolute favorite RTR pieces and possibly the most stunning dress I've ever worn...period. No zipper and a stretchy firm material that hugs your curves. I'm still getting compliments any time someone comes across the picture. A new favorite designer who gets women's bodies.

Slinky, sexy, and hugs your curves
Beautiful dress and sexy without being over the top. It was tight across the chest, so I could have possibly gone up a size, although I think it would be too big in the waist. I'm large busted though. For smaller busted ladies, I think it would be true to size. It had a small run in the top panel so I sent it back but I really liked it a lot. As usual, the RTR team sent me a replacement right away. The customer service at RTR can't be beat!

Soft & easy to wear without looking frumpy
The ease of this dress is awesome. I wore it with tights and black boots. It's not fitted at all but you can tie the sleeves around the waist pretty tight to show your curves and it's still super comfy. I love this dress & will definitely get it again.

Fun & trendy with a good fit
Love this jacket. I'm large busted so it was a little tight across the chest even with only a T-shirt under. The color, faux fur, and material are all expensive looking, so the collar doesn't look low rent. :) I'll hang on to this for a bit.

Modern yet casual, with an ease to wear
This is one of many layered looks I love. The lacing on the sleeves gives it an edge and makes it special. The top underneath you can wear separate also with a leather bomber or such for a second look. And it's long enough to wear with leggings and over the knee boots.
