Gorgeous color
I love velvet and this dress was luxe. The slightly off-shoulder v-neck in the front and back made this a sexy-without-trying style. The body is forgiving, which is great for my hips.

Classy jacket
After the first two RTR dresses I rented didn't work for me, I paired this jacket with some black scarf pants I still owned from the 90s. The jacket is killer! It was comfortable and perfect for an evening in which the outside temps were in the single digits. I am hanging on to this jacket to pair with jeans for an art exhibit reception and to wear in Vegas. Great fitting jacket!

Very attractive pants.
I started getting compliments on my pants immediately. One colleague even signed up for RTR after seeing them. I am usually a size 8, but they were unavailable, so I opted for the size 10. I am glad I did because they fit perfectly. The pattern and color are beautiful. I would have given them five stars except when I sit, the pants bulge/bunch out funny on top.

Shear material
This dress was a mess coming off the hanger. The straps are little strings that cinch in the back and look like they could break at any moment. I was expecting a luxe velvet material, but the pattern is a thin striped velvet that is see-through. No way was I wearing this in public.

Too boxy in the shoulders.
This is not a dress for a pear shape. the thick material was unforgiving i the hips and the top was loose and boxy. I was disappointed as I had planned to wear this to a formal dinner.

Great summer dress. Runs true to size, but a tad short on me. I really liked the flowered print. I wanted to pair it with a cardigan, but the sleeves were too puffy.

Cute dress, but very short. I wore tights. a beret, and pointy flats for my hipster look. I thought the dress was hard to zip and hook in the back without help.

I loved this Kate Spade dress! It was so easy to wear; comfortable and feminine at the same time. I wore it twice to work - once in the office and the second time on a business trip. It was easy to pack and go. I loved everything about this dress.

The skirt runs a bit small. I sized up to the large and it was a bit snug. However, it is super flattering on and long enough on my 5'10" legs.

This was an easy outfit to wear on a business trip. Great to roll up in my suitcase without worry of wrinkes. No buttons, zippers etc. - just slip on and go! I wore it during my work hours with flats and in the evening put on my flip flops for a super casual look. Loved it!

Symposium Presentation
This dress arrived in time for me to wear to a symposium presentation at my college. I am tall, so I wore tall boots with the dress to counter how short it appeared on me. I loved the feel of the fabric and the rich merlot color. My grandparents surprised me by attending and they thought I looked "cute" in ruffled sleeves.

Sunset on the beach
I wore this dress to a beach restaurant in Puerto Vallarta. I added silver bling sandals and was ready to go. I loved that I didn't have to worry about additional jewelry because the neckline jewels were so beautiful. My husband told me that he saw several women admiring my dress and he thought it was beautiful on me.

Very Feminine
I rented this to wear for Easter because of the bright pink and red roses. I paid attention to past reviews and sized up from an 8 to a 10. The fit was perfect. This is a very thin, flowing, spring-like skirt, which was what I intended - except it snowed on Easter Sunday. I still wore the skirt with sweater tights. It is a gorgeous skirt.

Vibrant color
I loved the color! The skirt doesn't lay as nicely as shown on the model because the fabric is a thick scuba-like material. The top was very small, which is saying something because I'm a 34B and I couldn't wear a bra under it. It didn't matter much because the material was so thick and tight it felt like a sports bra on top. I also wasn't comfortable at the waist band as it rubbed at the seam. Overall it is a beautiful dress, but I would suggest ordering a size larger than your norm.

Fun Flattering & Flirtatious
This was one of the dresses I took to Spring Break in Las Vegas. The evening was chilly, so I had to add high velvet boots and a faux fur jacket, but it still was a showstopper. Great skirt for those of us who are more pear-shaped.

Furry Fun Sweater Dress
The dress looked gorgeous on the hanger, so I was excited to try it on. However, I got a little self-conscious about the big furry sleeves in public. I woreit to my neighbor's little girl's birthday party. (My thought was that the dress looked kind of like a furry children's character). I did enjoy it.

Fun Skirt with Over the Knee Boots
I LOVE THIS SKIRT! It was a little tight, but super cute. I would recommend sizing up two. I normally can wear a medium, but after reading the reviews I ordered a large. I think I could have worn an extra large. Regardless of the size, it doesn't disappoint.

A very unique high fashion top!
I absolutely loved how different this top was and how it got noticed. It is a beautiful merlot color with thick fabric. The arms are long and "vamp-like" but still easy to maneuver. It is a very form fitting top, so I ordered the 12 versus the 8 I usually wear and it fit fine.

I wore the sherpa vest to class on a frigid day and kept toasty warm.
I was skeptical when the sherpa vest arrived because it appeared matted, however, it was perfect for the negative temps outside and I got lots of compliments on my outfit.

I paired this top with jeans and tall black velvet boots to go on a dinner and movie date.
I had a little trouble figuring out how to get my arms through the sleeves, but once the top is on it stays in place well and is comfortable. I love velvet and this top was so sexy.

This was a fun easy to wear dress for work.
The dress fit well and was comfortable. I was worried about the long ties on the sleeves, but they didn't bother me during the day. If I sat long, it would wrinkle in the front, but they came out immediately with a quick brush of the hand. The dress was a little itchy because of the wool (?)

It was -11 degrees today, so I decided to cheer myself up by wearing this gorgeous jacket to work.
This is probably one of the most beautiful things I have ever worn. The soft leather jacket is a lovely navy blue and the faux fur collar is a soft baby pink. The lining of the jacket is also a fuzzy furry pink. It was a little warm wearing it inside, but I didn't take it off because it was so pretty and comfortable.

This is such a whimsical jacket. I had fun pairing it with different dresses.
It fit well, and as you can tell by the photo, the sleeves are full length rather than the quarter length that they appear on the model. I was actually happy that they were long. This is one I would like to own.
