Great dress
Loved the fit and style, worked well for me. Two negatives - sequins around arms were itchy so slightly chaffed by the end of night. Also, seems like the lining stretched out while sitting at the opera. I took one photo at home before leaving and another at the end of the night. I didn’t realize until I looked at the photo that the dark blue fabric at the bottom of the dress was the lining showing!

Beautiful colors, tight up top
The colors are beautiful in this dress. The top was pretty tight - I needed help to get the zipper up and then felt encouraged to maintain proper posture while wearing it. But it didn’t fall down and it wasn’t THAT tight. Wore to two different parties.

Loved this set
Technically not a dress - the top and bottom are buttoned together. Loved the color and style of the dress plus very comfortable. Only slight negative was the top tended to bunch up above my rear end, even though I constantly pulled it down. Wasn’t super visible, but took away from the smooth line. Only got to wear this once, wish I had more occasions!

Lovely flow to the dress
This dress had great movement, it would be fun to wear dancing. Comfortable to wear. It was slightly long for me with 3” heels, I occasionally caught my heel in the hem. But I was at the opera and mostly sitting, so it was fine. One tricky part - there is a slit both in the front and the back that means any bra is going to be visible slightly. I didn’t feel like taping up, so I just wore a nude bra and ignored the fact that my bra would be visible. Easier to do because I wasn’t moving much, dancing at a wedding I would want to use tape instead of a bra. Still, lovely dress.

Lots to like about this jacket. Well made, nice texture to fabric, color is cheerful without being noisy, fits well, nice style. Received a compliment on first wearing, plan to wear more before I send it back : )

Nice enough, but nothing super exciting. Wore with a jacket to church. Would work well for a casual day or easy vacation dress. Needed ironing.

Strange cut
I really liked the print on this top and the details around the sleeves. It worked well for zoom calls. But the cut is just too strange - it comes up too high on the sides. It either came untucked altogether or exposed flashes of my side. But if I untucked it, it looked shapeless. Wanted to like it more.

Graduation photo dress
My daughter wore this for a college graduation photo shoot and loved it. She is a little smaller than me (a 4/6), the size S was way too tight on me (more of a 6/8). It is a unique style with the long sleeves but no shoulders.

Beautiful dress, a little tight in bust
Loved the print and style. The full skirt was great fun and felt like a classic line from New Look period. Just wish the top had been slightly larger, pulled across my chest enough that I kept double checking buttons (only found one open all day).

Wore to graduation
Liked the print and the style. Appreciated the construction details and pockets. But in this zoomed in shot you can see how the fabric wrinkled easily and the buttons gaped a bit. Wasn’t bad, but not ideal.

A true designer dress
Felt like I was wearing a true designer dress. The details were evident. The bias cut flowed just right, the extra panels on the bodice were placed just right to be flattering, there were even pockets. Plus, it was comfortable. Definitely quality, I am going to look for more from this designer. Wore on its own, with a sweater and with a black blazer.

This is a tight dress
Didn't even get it for me (normally size 6), got it for my daughter who is closer to a 4. It fit on her, but looked tight to my eye. I only partially tried it on, wasn't even all the way on and it was feeling snug.

Great jacket, sleeves weren't for me
Absolutely loved the color, the fabric and the Chanel-vibes. Received several compliments. However, the big puffy sleeves just weren't right for me. Felt like I was wearing a play-jacket. Plus, better watch the weather report more closely because you can't put a rain jacket over the big sleeves!

Well made top
This was a very well constructed top, put together much better than most wrap tops. However, the sleeves were too short for me, I couldn't stretch my arms out fully. That must be why the model has the sleeves rolled up, but that was too casual for my work environment.

Nice jacket, snug arms
The quality of this jacket is very nice and the color is unique in a good way. But it was just a little snug in the biceps for my swimmer arms. Ended up wearing a tank under to have less fabric to deal with. Wanted to like it more, but fit wasn’t quite there.

More comfortable than I expected
Dress was more comfortable and flattering than I expected given the close cut nature. The extra stitching and shaping front made it more forgiving so I didn’t feel like I had to exactly stand up straight all day long. Wore to a family holiday celebration one day and church another.

Compliments all night
Wore to our Christmas party and got compliments all night. Bodice was pretty snug, but fine once we got the zipper up over the waistband. Flowers are unique and fun. Didn’t end up taking a photo at the party all night! So this is the fit photo from unpacking the RTR bag.

This runs small!
Had to wait weeks to get this top, but then it was too small all over! Across the back and the length of the sleeves. I wore it one day, but it was uncomfortably small for my normally 6/M frame. My daughter, who is slightly smaller, wore it as well and it fit her great. I will try again in a larger size because the style is great.
