Large with an awkward fit
If you're between sizes, definitely size down. Unless you have smaller shoulders, I wouldn't order this as the shoulder pads are pretty significant.

Gorgeous Fabric and Cut
Stunning dress! I took a risk with my Unlimited subscription, knowing I probably couldn't wear it due to my less-than-flat midsection. Sure enough, I wasn't able to wear it because not only does the cut hug your curves, but it is also made of a somewhat thin material. However, every other part was gorgeous, and it would look great on anyone who doesn't have to worry about things fitting too tightly over her stomach.

Just perfect
I've had my eye on this dress for a long time and finally had the perfect event to wear it to - a rooftop cocktail party. The material is thick and form fitting at the smallest part of the waist and looser over the midsection. I was afraid that the split would be revealing when I sat down, but it wasn't. Only cons I can think of: it's pretty low cut and the strings that wrap around the midsection are pretty short. (I had trouble wrapping them around twice.) I absolutely adore this dress.

Great, trendy shirt, but too small
If you're looking for a fashionable shirt that fits loosely over the midsection, this shirt is great. However, there's no give, and if you're busty the little slit at the top turns into a giant hole and is very revealing. I didn't wear it.

Easy and Comfortable
I loved this dress - it was so easy to wear and pack for vacation. At 34DD, I often have trouble with the gap between buttons popping open, but no problems at all with this dress.

Super flattering!
I sized down and wore my back up size for NYE. My regular size (size 8) fit, but the 6 had a more slightly more fitted look. (But there wasn't a huge difference between the 2 sizes.) I tend to have problems find shirts that fit correctly because I'm a 34DD and have a stomach that I try to hide. This shirt fit me nicely up top and was loose around my stomach. I got many compliments. Several reviewers mentioned that it was scratchy around the arms. The 8 did not scratch me, but the 6 did slightly. It was totally manageable though. If you want to reduce the amount of scratchiness and need a slightly longer shirt, go with your regular size. Otherwise, I would say to size down.

Nice finishing touches
Versatile everyday shirt - can be dressed up or down. I loved the details on the sleeves (and the back was cool too, but, of course, my bra showed). The fabric is silky and felt high end. I wish it had been a little longer. I wouldn't recommend it for anyone taller much taller than me.

I love this shirt! I received it as part of my Unlimited order and kept it the entire month. It fit me really well, and I felt well put together every time I wore it.

Flattering!
This dress was super flattering - accentuates waist while disguising stomach. Heads up: It was slightly lower cut than I thought it would be (probably because of the wrap style), but wasn't too revealing. Will rent again!

Gorgeous, but way too small!
This dress is just as beautiful in person as it is in the photos. I don't really know how to rate it because it's gorgeous, but it ran so small that I couldn't even zip it up! Definitely go a size up, and even consider going 2 sizes up for your back-up size.

Different - Cool concept
I love the idea of this dress. The two patterns, mesh sleeves / unique take on the cold-shoulder trend and the frayed panels are really cool. In reality this dress didn't work for me, but I think it could work well for someone with an athletic build. My stomach is an area I typically try to conceal. This dress was more fitted in the stomach than I thought it would be. Additionally, the arms were pretty baggy and long. (I have long arms and rarely have a problem with clothing being too long in the arms.) The overall look on me was sloppy. I liked that it was a longer length and ended up wearing it to work. Side note: the frayed panel is actually see-through, but it's barely - if at all - perceptible.

A statement piece for every day
This shirt is extremely well made. It's a little low cut for work, but not inappropriate. The amount of material in the back (which isn't as obvious on the model in the photo as it is in person) makes a statement. I would definitely suggest wearing it with skinny pants. The only cons: I felt that all of the material somewhat emphasized my pear shape and the fabric is slightly scratchy. But overall, a really great shirt!

Great print!
I love the print of this dress. Although the waistline is at the smallest part of the waist, the dress tends to shift, and I didn't feel like it was as flattering as other Rebecca Taylor clothes that I've worn. However, overall, it's a really nice day dress and is great for busty women as there's plenty of room in the chest area.

Solid everyday shirt
This shirt is great for work. I have plenty of shirts in my closet that are just as nice, but the fit was really good. I tied it almost like a loose man's tie for work and wore it untied for a date.

So flattering!
I absolutely adore this dress. I wore it on vacation for my wedding anniversary. The waistline was exactly at the smallest part of my waist, making me look thinner. The shoulders jutted in, making my shoulders look more athletic. The fabric was loose enough and layered over my stomach, de-emphasizing my not-so-flat stomach. This is why I love RTR: a dress that fits this well would never been in my price range.

Flattering and unique LBD
I wore this to a party for a fun take on a LBD. The cut was flattering, and it was just the right length - not too long and not too short. My only complaint is that since I'm a 34DD and there's no stretch in the fabric, the dress formed a hump in the back below the neckline. It wasn't too noticeable, but I wouldn't recommend it for anyone bustier than a DD.

Flattering cut!
I love this shirt. The sequins are a fun way to dress up a T-shirt. I'm self-conscious about my stomach, and I particularly like how this shirt (and most Rebecca Taylor shirts I've tried) is fitted at the top and looser in the middle and bottom.

Cute and versatile
This top is more casual than it may appear (eyelet cotton on top), which makes it versatile - I wore it to brunch with shorts and to work with dress pants. I'm 5'9", 34DD, and the shirt was shorter on me than on the model, but it was still plenty long. My only complaint is the bottom part of the eyelet layer. I wish it had tapered in a bit. It was form fitting over the chest, but the stiff white fabric combined with the somewhat shapeless eyelet caused it to jut out awkwardly at the bottom of the eyelet. But otherwise, it was very cute!

The subtly contrasting panels on the fabric are gorgeous.
It's longer in the back than the front. If wanting to show off your shape, this is not the dress as it is even slightly more "tent like" than it appears on the model. The fabric, not the cut, is the real show stopper.
