Professional but short
very nice - I'm 5'8" and am used to jackets being too short.. still wear them but on all black so it's not as obvious. This is very nice, though would have been more flattering with some kind of button or hook to accentuate the waist line (in contrast to hips).
Frannie Tweed Jacket

Very professional and flattering as long as closed
See photo. Nice but not flattering when worn open. Thick material - high end.
Hazel Jacket

Good for those who need a little extra belly room - may be too wide for hourglass body.
Beautiful - but even for me (with baby belly fat) a little loose on the waist. Will wear as nice otherwise.

Nice for the not too tall or not too curvey-bottomed
Beautiful top for but too short for me (5'8") for a formal work environment. Split too high, probably because my bottom is more size 10-12 while my upper body is 6-8 and I wore 8. If you are not too curvy or tall this will look amazing.
Pink Rowan Sheath
Black Halo
Size Worn: 8
Usual Size: 6

Great as stated
Great for a slightly formal work setting. Material is thin and velvet like. Not flattering when you sit down as jacket opens and shape goes - but nice when standing-walking.

Wish there was more inventory so I could get my right size
I'm an 8 but have been having trouble finding dresses in size 8 that are available on RTR the past two weeks (early-mid May). Got the 6 but too tight, couldn't wear and sent it back. Wonder if others in size 8 are experiencing the same?

n/a - did not wear this
I returned this after I tried it once. It is not bad, just not the right fit for my taller torso. Relatively tight on top and lose on the bottom. The pleads of the dress started too high up, and the dress actually made my hips look bigger as a result (when my hope was the opposite). Also the size S is tight for 34C cup.. but I wouldn't have wanted the bottom to be loser so M would be too big. As usual for tall women, we have to look further for a dress that fits proportionally. Unfortunate, as the material is nice and classy - and the color very professional.
Member Fit Notes
Green Circle Dress
Leota
Size Worn: S
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 8"
Bust: 34C
Perfect jacket to hide post-baby belly fat and still be comfortable, look professional and sexy.
Long enough so that you can pair with tight pants and not feel it's too tight for work. Photo did not come out well: I paired with a black tank, bordeaux-red pants (H&M!) and same bordeaux color high heels and felt awesome.
Black Tailored Blazer
3.1 Phillip Lim

.
Nice but not super special. Material was tight, with high waist which hid imperfections nicely. Looks like it would stretch out overtime.
Ruby High Rise Crop Jeans
J BRAND
Size Worn: 29
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 8"
Bust: 34C
Made me feel professional and somewhat stylish
Nice fit but warm and heavy material - not a good choice for a packed carry-on suitcase. Size 8 (UK, which is US 4 I believe) was too small on the chest (I'm 34C) the hook closed but it stood somewhat open. I wore a high black top under it. Jacket accentuated waist and chest.
Grace Tweed Jacket
Deborah Lyons
Size Worn: 8
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 8"
Bust: 34C
Nice but the gold is too shiny, was not clear from the photo.
Shoulders slightly wide but otherwise it fit as expected. I did not wear this because the gold color was much more shiny than it seemed in the photo. Not good for a conservative environment work conference though perhaps ok for an evening event where it's dark- Ish. Took photo to show back. Fit is not super flattering because material is thick and fabric hard.
Vedutta Blazer
Trina Turk
Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 8"
Bust: 34C
Gorgeous but way too short
Beautiful heavy material and cut but way too short for a 5'8" tall person like me. Tennis-skirt like short. Very unfortunate as it was so perfect otherwise. Could not use this. If only they could have made it 4-5 inches longer..
Olive Ava Dress
Shoshanna
Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 8"
Bust: 34C
Felt tall and stylish
Great but does get looser after a few wears. So glad it's long enough - as per other reviews. Looks great with heels, will be too long for average height women (I'm 5'8").
Dulcito Pants
Trina Turk
Size Worn: 6
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 8"
Clearly good quality but not flattering for tummy imperfections.
Nice material, fitted as expected and nice change from usual boring suit colors. Shoulders slightly wide for a narrow-shouldered body. Not recommended if you're trying to hide post-baby type tummy fat. I wore all black under it (top and pants) but the jacket naturally somewhat opens towards the bottom when worn open.
