Did not work on my curvy body.
Too tight across the thighs/bottom and too loose around the waist. Wore my backup style instead.

Weird fit.
Lots of extra fabric at bust near underarms. Fell strange on me. Wore to an afternoon garden party work event.

Lovely spring blazer.
Elegant. Nice color for spring. A bit heavy, so not great if the day warms up too much. Went with the bigger size only to accommodate my rear—the jacket runs long, which I liked, but the smaller size gaped a bit at the back split because I’m curvy.

Comfortable and great color. Shoulders and waist made it flattering and different. Perfect for a formal garden party/afternoon fundraiser.

Smocked Waist Dress

Lovely but uncomfortably tight.
Should have sized up but L was not available. I usually wear a 4 or 6, and this medium was hard to zip up and kept riding up because it was very tight around thighs. Lots of compliments... Couldn’t wear a bra because of lace on back. Would rent again in a L for sure. And plan navy shoes/wrap (lace is blue not black).

Perfect dress for a garden party-fundraiser at work. Loved the pockets and received tons of compliments. Small fit perfectly.

Nice work blazer. Wrinkles easily.
Liked the longer length and soft fabric. Looked a bit wrinkled by the end of the day.

Kept riding up. Nice shoulder emphasis.
Liked the look, but definitely would have worn the smaller size if R2R had delivered it. I kept having to pull it down to keep the shoulders down and to cover my waste.

Nice. Strange fit.
Nice pattern. Definitely needed a tank. Wrap hung a little uneven on me—neck kept sliding off center.

Fun & Flattering
Perfect for a 1920s party. Glamorous and lots of compliments. Rented the 4 & 6 as a backup. Wore the 6 bc the slit on the front was very high and the 4 was tight on the bottom so it pulled the slit apart and gaped a bit. Loved the dress overall.

Strange fit. Different.
Wore to an afternoon spring garden party/fundraiser at work. Received compliments but the fit was strange. Tight across chest but puffy above waist. Pattern was different and interesting.

Beautiful neckline but too tight
Will size up and order again. Could not wear to black tie work function because too tight. And literally could not get out of the dress solo. Needed my daughter to help me shimmy it over my bust and head.

Lovely but lots of cleavage.
Beautiful land fits true to size. Too much cleavage for my work gala, though, so I did not wind up wearing it.

Stunning dress. Pretty comfortable. Classic and classy.
Top was a little loose and I definitely needed to wear a strapless bra underneath. Fabric had some stretch to it, so very comfortable and easy to move in. I wore it to a black tie work function and received many compliments. Length was perfect for me with small heels.

Lovely for formal work dinner, but need a tank/camisole underneath.
Tight across back, but the wrap was strange and so it gaped significantly at neckline. Wore a camisole to avoid cleavage (or worse).
The Kimono Blouse

Gorgeous and classy. Perfect for wedding.
Tons of compliments all night. The hem lining is a bit stiff, which helps the skirt keep its shape. The hem was all crinkled when it arrived, but it flattened out perfectly with a quick ironing. I ordered the 4 and 6, and wore the 4 bc the six was a little big on top. I used one of those sticky backless bras; didn't feel comfortable going braless. Fits a bit snug on top but forgiving cut in the waist and thighs. Very flattering.

Tons of compliments, tight in hips/thighs
More compliments of the "wow, hot dress" type than ever before received. Looked amazing. Not super comfy though--definitely tight across the hips/thigh if you have a curvy bottom. No gove in the material. I wear a 32d bra and I definitely needed a padded bra to fill the top. Fabric bunched a bit above the hips, and there were a number of pulls. I'd definitely recommend if you're looking to highlight your shoulders and don't have to wear for a long day.

Lovely. Elegant. Comfortable. Conservative.
Loved the fit and the colorful overlay. Perfect for black tie work function. Flattering fit. I'm 5-8 and wore kitten heels. Anything higher and I would have needed the long.

Classy, different. Perfect for fall work, formal dinner.
Heavier fabric. Would be too warm for summer. Forgiving fit. Fitted across chest but flares. Very comfortable.
