Crisp, bright, modern
I didn't get a pic, but wore this 3x on my rental. Easy to look pulled together with jeans and wet hair in a bun waiting for kids at dance or errands. Nice staple.

Simple and cozy
It looks just like you think it would - functional, cute, flexible office to bar. I wouldn't buy it in a store, but I like to balance my orders with 1-2 "normal" items and this fit the bill. True to size.

Fun icy blue for winter
I've had this one for a few weeks waiting to the right event. Ended up wearing at 2 casual neigborhood back to back. It was comfortable around the tummy, but structured enough I could skip a bra! I rarely do, so that was big for me. I might wear this for family pics later today before I send it back. It was a hit.

So many compliments
I have been looking forward to this one. Rented it for dinner at a French spot and the Dallas company Nutcracker, so a high end night. The torso boning and fit reminded me of my wedding dress. Thick, heavy, deep pockets. I could have probably slipped a bra. Structured and well designed

Thanksgiving choice
I love this one! I sized up, but both fit when they arrived. Not much difference between 2 & 4. Went with the larger size for thanksgiving and cozy. Perfect if you are comfortable having the focus on the legs vs arm. Casual pattern but could wear almost anywhere. If you don't like short, this isn't for you. I'll wear it again before returning

Fall back for the win
This was my "safety" dress in case the one I really wanted didn't fit. Loved it immediately. Like most RTR dresses, the textiles were heavy and looked rich/deep. Pockets!!! The angle cut at the bottom is just the perfect trim to make legs stand out. At 38, my knees aren't my fave unless my thighs also show, if that makes sense. So the midi length was great. Got a lot of complimemts
Plum Blossom Joyous Dress

A fun one!
I didn't notice any odd pocket flaring some reviewers did. I sized up a size to a 4 (usually wear 0 or 2) and it felt comfy. I'm 38 and was worried the look would be not good or skew too young, but the fabric is quality and print is flattering in the bust. I think the lines draw the eyes up from the legs.

A little scandalous
I wore this to a speaking event by Annie Liebovitz. It felt high fashion but still casual. The fabric up top is thick enough to support the B cup girls in a semi-held up position. That said, he see thru gap was wider on me than it felt in the pictures online. I may wear it to a concert tonight and add a bralette. If you have the confidence to rock the gap, it's for you. I wore a scarf to the speaking event that half covered half peeked. I got compliments at dinner. True to size.
