Just didn't work on me
I wanted to love this, but just didn't work for me PROS: such a pretty fabric, lightweight, sleeves were dramatic but not too much CONS: Top doesn't work with a bra, and not adjustable to work without one, the drop waist + length made me feel super frumpy

Sexy and cute
This pink number is so cute and perfect for a first date. PROS: Great color, sexy style (can wear without a bra), lightweight fabric CONS: Small up top for busty gals so only wear this when you feel sassy and confident, fabric wrinkles easily HOW I STYLED: Cropped denim jacket for a bit more modesty, fun pink strappy heels, fushia clutch and pink roses for all the pink.

Expensive resort vibes
This jumpsuit is perfect for a summer vacay. PROS: The linen fabric is luxe and breathable. The tortoise buttons are a nice statement. Ties in the back will help define your waist. The length was perfect for me (a leggy 5'6) to pair with flats or heels. CONS: The torso is a bit shirt not the easiest to get in and out of. It also doesn't pair well with a belt due to the large statement buttons. HOW I WORE IT: Brown Staud bag 3 gold Bangles and a hoops Rope Wedges

Fall vibes
I loved everything about this dress. The fabric and the print, the length is also cute. Runs a bit big but put on a belt and you are good to go.

Loved this fit so much. It's a lot of leg so self tan ladies. It doesn't photograph as cute as it is.

Wore this a lot. It's a bit long for me, but the smocked back makes it very easy to wear.

Rock and roll vibes
This is cute with the shoulder pads but a bit challenging to style to wear out. (Here it was just styled to stay in). I've seen it layered over jeans and a top but I felt like those proportions didn't quite work for me. When worn with a high neck tank mini dress and OTK boots - then it felt chic.

Comfortable, summery
I wanted to love this but I felt a bit frumpy. Received compliments and it's lightweight for summer ... I think you need a heel or slide. Wanted to wear white sneakers with a dress but didn't quite work.

I wore this around the luxury resort and felt pretty chic. The full pleated skirt is a fun silhouette. Was a little right across my bust so paired with a denim jacket once I got back to LA.

This dress is fire
Get ready for a ton of compliments. I wore this to a beauty event here in LA and got noticed immediately. It worked so well on my busty figure and yes - it does feel like you are wearing perfect spanks. I read that you pull it on over your head which wounds wowed, but it really isn't. The fabric is like a super elegant neoprene and photographs beautifully. This dress makes me want to rent everything by this designer. If you have a busty, hourglass figure with a little extra sand -- rent this immediately. PROS: everything, fit, fabric, color, can wear a bra easily, curve hugging, forgiving CONS: a little long for me (5'6) and a touch too big in the hips for me. But that's just my figure. I would buy this - it's timeless. I may buy it hahah!

Monet all day
The beautiful print reminds me of water lilies and you will feel like an ethereal mermaid princess in it. I've worn it twice already: Mermaid/unicorn party. I'm in the beauty business and a friend of mine threw a summer soirée with a mermaid theme. The aquatic colors worked perfect styles with pearls. I channeled my inner Ariel. Brunch at BBCM in Sunset Plaza (pictured). The off the shoulder style is great for anytime you want to feel summer breezy. The corset allowed even a super busty figure like mine wear this off the shoulder style (I just tucked in my bra straps). I might even wear it to an upcoming mixer at Catch rooftop. It screams for champagne and a sunset. Pros: daytime dressy with breezy feels. Beautiful pattern. Corset holds you in. Cons: impossible to put on or take off by yourself due to said corset.

So cute but too small
I went to the Topanga store to experience RTR in person and I can't lie - it's a little tough for anyone size 14 or above. I had serious envy for all the Daytime wear for those gals size 12 and under. However - I did see this ultra cute jacket in a medium and pulled it anyway. Once home, I had to admit that it was just too small for my arms. :( However - the print is so cute and I'm still obsessed with a cute bomber so I will rent again in a large or XL.

Rainbows gone luxe
I rented this to help celebrate Pride here in West Hollywood in an elegant way. The shape is perfect and added the right festive note to. Y usually all black ensembles. Received lots of compliments. Pros: the shape holds a lot and I love the magnetic closure. Cons: it was a tad worn around the edges but I didn't mind too much.

Beautiful sleeves but not for a full bust
I really wanted to wear this Kendall and Kylie dress to a pool party. It's not flattering on a full busty curvy figure like mine but it was still fun to wear and I managed to get this cute shot.
