Flattering, comfy dress for hot summer day with wind!
Loved the bright color, flattering sleeves and empire waistline! Got lots of compliments. Fully lined, but still very cool. Due to lining and length, dress stayed down during wind gusts. Runs large, so would have preferred a 10 (I'm an 8/10 on top, 12 on bottom).

Usual Size: 10

Cute style, light for summer.
Pretty, unique and lightweight. Only size 10 available, which was too small for my size 12 bottom half:(. Look forward to maybe renting in my correct size later!

Gorgeous, well made dress that runs small.
Stunning color and cut. Too heavy for hot, informal event. Runs a size small, so I couldn't wear it.

Cute dress, but more "prairie" looking than bohemian
Flattering fit, true to size. High quality. Looked more prairie like than bohemian, so didn't wear.

Size Worn: 10R
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 6"
Hard for pear shaped women to wear.
I'm an 8/10 on top and solid 12 on bottom. The 12 was huge on top and the bottoms were too snug. Bummed because it looked so cute and seemed well made!

Fun and flippy!
Flattering fit, unique lace overlay. For pear shaped, can be very short in the back.

Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 6"
Flattering, comfortable fit. Perfect for spring transitional weather.
Flattering fit for pear shaped. Well constructed, fully lined. Flowy, but didn't blow up in the wind. Perfect for transition weather--85 in day to 55 at night.

Floral Analise Dress
Shoshanna
Size Worn: 10R
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 6"
Chic style, beautiful colors, easy to wear
Fits a bit large, but it's supposed to be loose so it works! Flattering colors and very versatile. I wore it 4 times before returning! Paired with pencil skirt and skinny trousers for work, skinny jeans for casual.

Colorblock Fraya Sweater
L.K. Bennett
Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 6"
Runs very large- didn't wear
Runs much larger than the sizing shows. Based on my 10-12 size, XL should've worked. Far too big to even wear.

Perfect for work overcoat
Unique overcoat, perfect for California fall/winter. Well structured and beautiful color.

Lace Auretta Trench Coat
cupcakes and cashmere
Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 6"
Unique, flattering choice for a summer fundraiser
Fits true to size, but on the smaller side. I️ loved its uniqueness, the stunning off-shoulder cut and the flattering hidden boning on the bodice. However, the fabric is not comfortable in hot temperatures and the print looks more old fashioned (kind of like vintage china) in person. I️ still highly recommend it!

Blue Delilah Maxi
Amanda Uprichard
Size Worn: LR
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 6"
Perfect for a summer work event!
Super flattering fit, comfortable and conservative enough for a summer work event. I️ was sweaty working in a muggy 90 degrees, but the dress held up and didn't show it!

Floral Kam Dress
Parker
Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 6"
Comfortable and elegant--perfect for a work event!
This dress was modest (but not matronly), elegant and very comfortable--everything I needed for a work fundraising event. The length and lace were beautiful! It runs a bit larger than other RtR designers; I️ wore a 10, but an 8 would've been perfect. If you're a true pear shape like I am, this dress is a win!

Black Everdine Dress
Trina Turk
Size Worn: 10
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 6"
Beautiful for my work Gala!
Beautiful cut, style and color. Fabric is high quality, with some structure. Comfortable, flattering fit for pear shaped women! I received several compliments and felt great through 8 hrs of working our fundraising event.

Navy Tulip Skirt Dress
Shoshanna
Size Worn: 10
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 6"
Bust: 36C
Beautiful and comfortable for work event
Beautiful style and color and perfect length for a summer work event. I would've given it a 5, except it wasn't as flattering as I thought it would be... maybe the waistline was off on me. True to size, but is designed to be loose and flowy. Highly recommend!

Blue Noriega Dress
Shoshanna
Size Worn: 10
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 6"
Bust: 36C
Beautiful fit and ideal for summer wedding
Fit is ideal for most body types, especially me as a pear shape. Beautiful color, flattering fit, high quality. My dress had a few small snags, so I could tell it had been loved and worn by others. Note for hot summer events: sweat does show through, but it disappears quickly and print disguises it. Love this one!

Annada Silk Maxi Dress
Joie
Size Worn: MR
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 6"
Beautiful fit!
Well constructed and flattering cut, especially for a pear shape like mine. Length was a perfect length, just below the knee (in 5'6"). Colors were vibrant, but fabric was a bit worn. Great pockets! I'm usually a dress size 8, sometimes 10. The 8 fit a bit too snug, so I went up.

Rose Notes Dress
Carmen Marc Valvo
Size Worn: 10
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 6"
Bust: 36C
The rose gold thread and flare skirt are stunning!
I wore this for two different work-related holiday events. PROS: gorgeous, high quality fabric and very flattering cut for a pear/hourglass shape. Perfect length for my height. CONS: the sleeves looked much more cap-like and unflattering on me, so I wore a sweater one party and a blazer for the other one. The slight bulges from my bra and tights were apparent, so I recommend wearing Spanx if you feel self-conscious about it.

Rose Haze Dress
Marchesa Voyage
Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 6"
This dress was FUN!
Fit just a bit small, but the slightly stretchy fabric helped a lot on my larger lower half. Unique sequins with flattering solid black panels made this dress perfect for a party at a traditional Russian restaurant and show! Surprisingly, it wasn't too heavy for a muggy July evening in New York.
