need ironing, but cute
These were a bit big on me - I'm usually a 28/29 or 10. I still wore them a lot though! The hems curled up so I had to iron every time I wore.

easy!
I thought this was so cute and wore it multiple times. It was super breezy for the summer and not too short on me, even though I'm tall! I will say that it wrinkled up quickly and easily if I wore it seated for any amount of time.

very cute, but short!
I wore this once and it was really cute, but a little short on me so I only wore it once out- I'm 5'10 so that's not surprising. It flipped out at the ends on the back, so I had to thoroughly iron it so the seam didn't tuck under. But it was very cute!

Lovely luxe, you will walk like a penguin tho
I tried this on and LOVED the way it looked. It fit like a mermaid, it hugged all curves. There isn't much give, size-wise. I didn't end up wearing it as a wedding guest because I literally felt like a mermaid and couldn't put one foot very far in front of the other or squat (for dancing). But it was so pretty!

fine!
These were cute and I got compliments on them, but they were so wrinkly you'd have to iron them before every wear. The flare at the bottom was kind of odd and I kept the snaps undone because they would straight up not fit around my calf if I wanted to tighten them (and I don't have insanely large calfs or anything). Anyway, I always find it strange when this expensive high-quality stuff feels thin and wrinkles, but whatever these were fine.

love this, wanna buy!
I couldn't tell if it was small or true to size. I am between sizes a lot, but there wasn't much give here, so if there's any question I'd size up. It's gorgeous in person-- it looks much more vibrant in person. It's sparkly and you can really see the beautiful dark and jewel toned stripes. The slit goes WAY up so sitting down it got a bit scandalous, but with the low cut you're kinda getting that anyway. I want to buy it!

cozy with flair
I wore this a few times, both to work and after hours. You can dress it up or down. Got lots of compliments on the fringe! I should have gone down a size, but the large was fine for a sweater. It didn't look bad and was cozy, but the arm holes were just a bit big. Mock neck wasn't restricting!

easy and really cool
The dress they sent me had a huge snag on the zipper-- it still zipped up but looked sort of janky. So that sucked, but looking past that it is an awesome dress. It's really comfortable and simple, but the fringe gives it a lot of flair. I got a ton of compliments on it! if you wear a bra, it peeks out a bit in the cutout, but you can just wear black. It has a LOT of fabric on the bottom, but that made it cozier for me.

These were a little roomy on me, but I still wore them around the house. Looks really cute paired with the matching pullover. The color is pretty and the pants are sooooo soft. They have long zippers which were a little odd but I thought they added some fun flair.

Loooooved/obsessed
I wore this to a wedding and reception. Originally I was planning to wear it to the welcome party, but I'm glad I did not because to my utter shock, the bride was wearing the SAME dress in white (which apparently isn't on RTR, but it's so cute it should be.) Anyway, decided to wear it to the actual wedding because it looked so cute on the bride the night before. The bodice is really structured, but not in a constricting way. It's so sparkly and ethereal the pictures don't do it justice. I think it can be dressed up or down with shoes and jewelry/hair. I wish it wasn't so expensive because I want to purchase it.

Really cute dress. The cutout is super unique and it's very adjustable. The Large waist/bottom is really stretchy and was too big for me, so it was sagging weirdly. I would rent again but get a Medium.

Loved the teal color. It was a little precious/too feminine for me but overall a really cool dress. The fabric is sort of thick and keeps things tight (in a good way).

I wore these literally every day and I want to buy them. Such a nice pop of color! They were a little oversized/baggy since they have a bit of a flare in the pants.

Loved this. It was a bit short on me but I'd either wear flat or big chunky boots to distract. Very comfy for wearing around all day. I brought it on a vacation and wore it hiking around. It's easy to just pull down to use the restroom as it doesn't have buttons, zippers, etc.

I loved this and I want to buy it! Could have gone down a size to have it cinch the waist a bit more, but it was honestly fine when it was roomy. Super easy and I got a ton of compliments.

I wore this to a wedding with heeled sandals and got sooooo many compliments. Later in the week I wore it out with a short sleeved mock-neck black top under it and chunky black boots and, again, so many compliments. I felt better wearing some control top bike short kinda underthings but didn't need them.

Loved this. I sized up because they didn't have my size, but I'm glad I did because I like a little wiggle room. I wore this to a fancy dinner with heels and then to a low-key night out with a leather jacket and Docs and it is really versatile depending on what you wear it with.

I won't take this off
I loved this so much I bought it. I normally wear slightly oversized sweaters/jackets so I got a Large and this one was really big. I would have been OK with a medium. It's super soft and the inside is silk and very comfortable.

matching set
The matching set was so cute. I got tons of compliments. I was hoping to wear it out, but it's really more on the lounge side. Great for working from home or traveling. There were no Large available so I got a medium in the top and it was actually perfect. I got the pants in a Large and they fit at first (or right out of the wash), but after wearing them for about an hour they stretched out and kept falling down. Large was too big! Kinda funky sizing.

This fit is much more flattering on than on a hanger. Beautiful print! It's modest, but the keyhole peep on the chest is a nice touch.

cheetah neutral!
This was easy to dress up or dress down! And I consider cheetah print a neutral, so I wore with a lot of different combos. The slip underneath would get twisted and sat a little funky but that was no big deal to adjust.

This fit perfectly, but unfortunately I felt like a little girl going to church on Easter Sunday. Also, I didn't realize it does NOT come with a slip. I was able to wear a black underneath and that worked fine.

I wore this to an evening function over a tight green turtleneck w/ denim mini skirt and tights. Loved the outfit overall, but felt like this was pretty big/bulky on me even though I do usually wear a L or XL these days. Still, it felt kinda trendy in a Gen-Z way ;)

these were too small, unfortunately. These days I usually wear a 10/12 or Large, but I ordered the XL based on reviews. I got them on and buttoned, but they were too tight so I didn't wear them around.

beautiful green & flattering
I really liked this dress and felt it was flattering. I wore shapewear underneath and needed a little fashion tape to keep things in place. The color is gorgeous-- I got so many compliments when I wore this. It is very stretchy so I could have sized down. I wouldn't say the material looks cheap, but it sort of feels cheap so I'm surprised at the tag price. Still, I would wear this again.

I loved this dress. I actually should have sized up to a 12 and I think it would have been more flattering, but I was able to get around in the 10 fine. The pleating is so beautiful, the dress is so flowy and fun to walk/dance around in. I got so many compliments.

I'm always a little worried about how sequins can look cheap, but this dress did not disappoint. It was comfortable, flattering and so chic. So many compliments! I needed to use a little fashion tape to keep things in place.

This fit well and was super flattering, HOWEVER I wore it to an afternoon/evening event in Palm Springs and sweat right thru the under-boob/stomach area right where it's fitted and had to change. Shame, because I did like the fit of the dress and it was comfortable.

I wore this for an all-day work event that I was mostly seated for. The fabric is pretty thick, so it was good for being in a cool hotel conference room all day. It's a smart look! I'm pretty tall and it hit just right and was very work appropo.
