Cute Weekend Look!
The straps made it easy to adjust the dress to fit perfectly. Very comfortable. I ended up tying the waist strap in a cross behind me because I was worried about the straps dangling too much.

Fun Colors!
Cute dress for casual weekends and brunches. The straps kept falling but are adjustable so it might just be that I didn't adjust them properly. Hard to find a jacket that was as cute as the dress!

Flowy and comfy
Great for a beach/coastal wedding. The material is nice and opaque but still breathable and comfortable for a hot day. I ended up wearing a blazer as a coverup and it still looked very elegant!

Beautiful while on, slightly tricky to put on & take off
so beautiful when I was wearing it - I got compliments left and right. It would be beautiful for a regular party, but I wore it for an Indian event (mehndi) and got tons of compliments. The style fit in with the other traditional Indian outfits. Was worried about the cutouts but the way it rested exposed my waist and hid my tummy so it was lovely! Very tricky to wear though, took me 3 tries to get on and a good 10 minutes to take off.

Comfortable and looks great!
I love the color and pattern. The unadjustable straps were a bit tricky - theoretically I could've worn it without any issues, but I was worried if a strap fell so I ended up using an elastic to tie the straps behind me, almost like a halter. The neckline was a bit revealing but fine for someone with boobs on the smaller side (B-cup). Beautiful for a spring wedding!

Cute colorblocking, convertible!
I love that it's convertible. Currently have the camel/gold color on the outside since it's more spring-like, but I could see it being flipped in the fall/winter.

Amazing!
I loved this dress! I was worried about the purple, but it was a really interesting neutral purple-brown that didn't become overwhelmingly purple - you could go more feminine with pink accents or more modern with brown/gold accents and have it look great either way. The sleeves could be pulled up for a more conservative look during the wedding, then pulled down for a shoulderless look for the afterparty. The ruching in the dress made it great for hiding any tummy while still showing off your figure.

Great as cropped cardigan!
I ordered this to use as a light cardigan over dresses, since the crop & lace trim hits perfectly above the waist. Material is high quality. Looks great buttoned or unbuttoned! I'd like to try using it as a solo crop top, but would probably want dress tape as it does ride up if you raise your arms, etc.

Lovely pattern, straps were loose
This dress reminded me an afternoon tea party. I ended up wearing another dress to the wedding, but this one was very cute. The skirt poofed out more than I expected, but in a flattering way. I'm 5' 6" and the dress hit just under my knees. Sized up based on other reviews, which was a good idea since the waist was tight, but then the straps were loose and would've needed fashion tape. I was hoping it would fall a little longer on me to be more of a tea-length dress but it was still cute overall!

A really fun and unique dress!
This was such a fun and flattering dress that I ended up wearing it multiple times for going out for a birthday party and for a music festival. The material is thin but not sheer/see-through, so it was great for the music festival, which was outdoors in the summer so it was quite hot. The material is also easy to clean if you spill liquids or makeup on it like I did. The adjustable ruching lets you adjust the hem length and hide any belly, and the black loop was not too annoying (for me at least). A great dress for having a great time!

went to watch a musical in SF
L was a great fit for me. The lapels can be folded out to look like a more typical leather jacket, or kept flat for a more streamlined work. The color was really pretty, perfect for spring/summer. It's like a cool grey-blue because of how light colored it is, so it looks really good with dark colors underneath for contrast.

Just hanging out with friends, going to work
This was a fun piece to wear! I originally wanted to see how it worked as a dress coverup but end up just wearing it around the house and at work. The satin material made it feel lighter and more luxe than a typical cardigan. Easy to dress up or down! Beautiful jewel tone blue color.

The dress' silhouette makes you feel tall and lean, and it's modest and classy. It would've made a great bridesmaid dress! I ended up not wearing this dress in favor of another RTR outfit, but it was a close second for a floral wedding dress. If I had gotten the 12R instead of the 12L, it would've been perfect.

This jumpsuit was a beautiful color, a cool blue that could pair with silver or gold jewelry and was perfect for a spring/early summer wedding. The jumpsuit's cut is really flattering for minimizing the stomach while emphasizing curves. I was able to wear it with a strapless bra and didn't feel the need for fashion tape, although it might have been helpful for the side without a strap. And the material was so soft and buttery, it really was so comfortable to walk around and dance in. The major downside? It was nearly impossible for me to zip up by myself. I definitely needed a bathroom buddy to help zip up, but it was worth it!

Mother's Day brunch
This dress is beautiful! I had ordered 14R initially, but it was too large. The 12R was a perfect fit! The slit & drape of the dress was really fun, especially on a windy day. The side button/ruching was a cute detail that also made it forgiving for a buffet brunch. The asymmetrical hem was a tad long at the longest length, but wearing heels solved that issue. And you should definitely plan to wear cute shoes with this dress! The side zip made it easy to wear, and there are some bra strap buttons to prevent the sleeves from sliding off, but you could choose to wear it off-shoulder if you wanted to, I ended up adding some fashion tape just in case to cover my bra, but it wasn't necessary.

Unfortunately the size I ordered didn't fit :( but the embroidery and dress material are high quality, and the dress had a second under-boob strap to make it really secure. The cut was flattering and despite the a-line poof, I still felt sleek and elegant trying on the dress. I'm definitely waiting for my size to be available and to find the right occasion to wear this dress!

The Pros: The color, pattern, and subtle shimmer in the fabric was gorgeous. The elastic on the back makes the fit relatively forgiving. The Cons: The back of the dress is mostly backless, but the straps didn't fit well on me and tended to poof out a bit, creating a weird silhouette. It probably could be fixed with fashion tape, but it was annoying to deal with. I also think this dress would look better on someone with more cleavage, as the front panels kinda swallowed up my breasts. I'm not sure if sizing up would solve the poofy back straps, or if sizing down would solve the cleavage issue. Ultimately I ended up going with another dress for this wedding, but this was a serious contender!

The dress is very form-fitting, so while it's great for showing off curves and making my boobs look great, I felt a bit awkward having a skin-tight dress showcasing my stomach area. Maybe with Spanx or shapewear it would be suitable, but I decided to go with another dress for the wedding that was more comfortable. The ruffles and color are gorgeous though!

This was just a lovely, high quality leather jacket
The color and texture of the jacket were beautiful. It's thick enough to protect against some breeze, but light enough so that you don't overheat in the sun - perfect for spring! It's a bit shorter on my torso than I expected, so it looks better with high-waisted bottoms, but really worked well with most outfits. It would have been a bit tight if I had zipped it up, but it looked great just open. I don't know if it was meant to be zipped anyway!
