1000 Compliments!
I wore this to a party during Art Basel, to a wine tasting, and to dinner with my Mother in Law. Got tons of compliments at every single event! Can't go wrong. Just wear the right undergarments.

Rib Sweater Dress
Busayo x RTR

Good, not great
Loved this dress in concept, but the shoulder straps were too long for my 5'6" frame so I had to temporarily sew them shorter for my vacatio and the waist was not as flattering as I hoped. The material is classic jersey, so a bit thick for a really hot climate and not as elastic as you'd expect from the photo.

Perfect for Greece
I wore this on holiday a few times, once during the day and once at night. Was happy with the versatility. Beware the fabric is a bit heavy and the top needs a cami underneath if you have a larger bust.

The design was so cute in the photos, I had high hopes. The pearls were LARGE and the stones were LARGE too. Overall it was just too chunky.

This dress is equal parts elegant, sexy, timeless. It's a sturdy jersey material but light enough to wear in the summer, especially in super-AC'd offices and restaurants.

OMG... these pants!
SO great for vacation. I work them with a high heel espadrille, which elongated the leg and really helped the silhouette. Also wore a white top exactly as shown in the photo.

Cute, comfy, and warm.
Perfect for winter work to evening events. I wore it to family holiday dinner as well. Works great with opaque tights and booties or bare legs and heels. Word to the wise: wear a shaper if you've got it to smooth out those curves.

I go between Large and XL on skirts depending on the material and the design. This skirt is a Large for petites maybe, not for regular people. The Large is really a Medium at best.

So many compliments, and I felt really fab in this dress. V flattering for a curvy hourglass figure like mine. Busty ladies beware: my bust is large so I had to wear a bralette/cami underneath - but that's typical of many tops with this design, not a flaw of this dress.

Retro summer
This is an ideal summer dress... very light cotton material and lots of ventilation with the open back. However,at first the pattern and the cute together reminded me of my grandma's house dresses. I styled it with modern chunky jewelry and shoes to make it feel more current. It's a 6.5 out of 10.

V special dress for v special occassion
The color and pattern are so feminine and perfect for spring/summer. Definitely the most unique dress at the event I was at. The middle of the top has a lacework opening so you need to wear a low-cute bra or be comfortable with some cleavage showing. I typically wear a 12/14, and I sized up on this dress because the material looked like it had no stretch and I'm glad I did. My hips and bust would not have worked in a 12.

My boyfriend loved it.
Sometimes the simplest dresses surprise us and this one was definitely like that. So flattering and yet so comfortable. The tie in the front is a really cute touch. I usually wear a 12 or 14 and have a larger bust, so I felt comfortable in the XLR. The L would have been too small for a larger bust.

I saw this dress on someone else first, and knew I had to wear it. It made me feel like a bombshell. Robust material so it holds it shape. But it's tight. Real tight.

1,000 Compliments
I was excited to rent this sweater, but I was still blown away by how many compliments it got. So versatile and chic, I was able to wear it for a special occasion but felt like I was wearing my favorite comfy sweater. It is quite fitted, and it's a nice hefty material as the other reviews say, and but super comfortable and cozy.

OMG so cute
I LOVED this sweater. I wore it for girls' dinner and for work. Classic chic style and the flowers make it more on trend. Not too short in the waist, which was a blessing. The 3/4 sleeves are awesome for spring weather.

Perfect for weekend
This is a really comfortable sweater, but didn't fit on me like the photo shows: not as long as it looks and not as comfortable off the shoulder. It was shorter at the waist and the neck was more comfortable to wear as a cowl-neck (slouchy neck), not off-the-shoulder.

From work to date to concert
This is a perfect transition weather dress going into Spring and Summer. Works well for many different types of occasions depending on how you style it. Elastic waist makes it really comfortable while being cute at the same time. Has a ruffle at the waist that adds a bit of volume which I was ok with.

So cute and versatile
I wore this with a leather jacket and sneakers to run around NYC for meetings (I work in a creative industry), and with espadrilles on Memorial Day Weekend in DC. This dress was perfect for both. The XL was pretty loose on me, but it was still flattering with the cut and the asymmetrical skirt.

So cute and flattering
I have an hourglass/pear shape and shorts hardly ever work - either too tight in the seat/thighs or too large in the waist. These were the perfect combo of fitted waist and enough room in the thighs. So comfortable and flattering that I would buy them!

I usually wear a 12 or 14 depending on the fit and this was a bit roomy on me. Good color, good length, and good weight. I would have sized down if I wanted it to be really fitted. I wore it sightseeing for the weekend in DC and it was great.

LOVE: Dressy, beautiful.
When you don't want to wear a dress to a formal party, this is a perfect alternative. Only problem I had is that the torso runs small so I had to size up, but then the top and ruffled straps were too loose and my strapless bra was showing. Had to do some safety-pinning to get them right.
