Stopped in the street by strangers complimenting my outfit

So absolutely loved wearing this set out on a warm Friday night in NYC. Wore it strolling around Washington Square Park, took a bike ride in it to the East Village, and then had a lovely dinner in an outdoor cafe. The elevated bohemian vibes of the style jived perfectly with the evening and strangers stopped me to compliment the outfit. As for fit, the cups to the top on this set were too small for me - so I turned it around and wore it backwards! It looked so great I actually would recommend this to anyone worried about sizing. As for the skirt, it fit perfectly and I loved the ruching as well as the mermaid flare. The material is thick and high quality and the colors are vibrant. I found the set to be super comfortable, able to easily walk and bike around NYC all night. Totally recommend this outfit - Perfect for a fun summer night out, a concert, or vacation. And don’t be afraid to experiment with turning the top around!

Sleek & Cosmopolitan - But still casually chic & comfortable

Wore this dress to brunch and then onto an afternoon at the Museum of Fine Art in the city of Montreal while on vacation. Liked it so much that I wore it again the next evening to another art exhibition and then to dinner at a a trendy Italian bistro downtown. It’s long graceful lines looked posh and cosmopolitan, but it’s comfortable knit fabric was easy to wear and kept the overall vibe casual, allowing it to look and feel great in a multitude of occasions. I found that the overall fit on this dress ran a little big so definitely size down. I wear a 0/2 and the XS was a hair loose and a little long. Essentially I wore it as a comfortable mermaid maxi, which still looked great and received many compliments, Also I found that because of the low and wide neckline, I couldn’t wear a bra with this dress without the straps showing - That being said I found the tailored bustline seams to be enough support to still keep a nice silhouette, and also gave a nod to the natural braless shape that’s so on trend this summer. Really enjoyed wearing this dress and think it’s extremely versatile, perfect for events where you want to look sleek and cosmopolitan, but still feel comfortable. Totally recommend.

Fun Fabulous Festive - Loved wearing this dress!

Wore this dress to the Cirque du Soleil in Oldtown Montreal and then out for Ethiopian food at the Queen of Sheba restaurant on the lively Av du Parc. It was the perfect choice for both occasions with its bright colors, fun ruffled skirt and bustier top. The dress both stood out and fit in, receiving many compliments throughout the night. In addition to looking great, this dress was easy to wear due to great tailoring. Specifically the bodice is well sewn and the bustier cups are generous, giving plenty of support. As a natural 32DD, I needed no pins or tape and was able to go comfortably braless all night. Further I found the ruffle on the skirt and the asymmetrical hemline to be figure flattering. Overall this dress runs true to size but perhaps a little big. I’m generally between a 0 and a 2, and the 0 fit me perfectly. Such a fun dress to wear especially for a show, concert, lively dinner or other festive event. Totally recommend!

Gorgeous Elegant Dress - And comes in petites!

Wore this gorgeous dress out to Monarque, the best French restaurant in Montreal and it was totally on point. Elegant, upscale and sophisticated, it fit the vibe perfectly and made me feel confident. Additionally it was comfortable enough to stroll around Old Town after dinner and versatile enough to transition into the nightlife there. As for fit, I absolutely love that this dress comes in petites! I wore a 2P and the length was perfect for my 5’2” frame. The rest of the dress fit well: The bodice fit perfectly, with low cross cross back straps that provided enough support to comfortably go braless. The wrap detailing was generous enough so that the front slit was modest and tasteful, not needing any pins to hold it in place. The only issue I had was that the waist was slightly snug, and with that would recommend sizing up if between sizes. Overall the tailoring is high quality and the dress runs true to size. Also really loved the classic animal print of this dress, which made it really noticeable and special - great for a fancy date, evening event, or party. Totally recommend!

Gorgeous Vibrant Head Turning Summer Dress 🙌

Wore this dress on a summer road trip traveling across the NY Adirondacks up to Montreal Canada. It held up beautifully during our 5 hour car ride, receiving compliments at every little roadside town we stopped in from Lake Saranc to Champlain. After crossing the northern boarder, this look instantly made the transition to dinner at a bistro in one of Montreal’s hippest international neighborhoods. Cant say enough about the versatility of this gorgeous, vibrant head-turning dress! The fit on this dress is easy and true to size. I normally wear a 0/2 and the XS was perfect. The elastic waist and the well angled petite ruffles make the cut very forgiving. I was able to comfortably go braless without ruining the line or shape of the dress. The fabric is light, airy and super comfortable. The bright color makes it memorable. True perfection in every way for an easy but gorgeous summer day dress that makes the grade in any setting. Totally recommend!

Loved this! And so did everyone else!

Wore this adorable comfortable jumpsuit on vacation to the Adirondacks. It was effortlessly casually chic and I received compliments all day. It held up beautifully while walking around the quaint town of Lake Placid, exploring the Olympic Museum, and a nice dinner at a cozy alpine lodge after. The fit on this piece is easy - it’s roomy and has an elastic waist, so very forgiving. Also as a petite I often find jumpsuits difficult but this one was great. I’m 5’2” with a 27 inch inseam and found the length on the XS just right. The torso ran slightly long, but not overly so and it didn’t look bunchy. I particularly liked the ruffle detail at the shoulder which was not overwhelming, and the overall tailoring was high quality. I paired this piece with cork wedge sandals and a denim jacket to make the look more rustic and outdoorsy. But could easily restyle it with a belt, heels and black leather jacket for the city. Really loved this versatile jumpsuit and totally recommend!

Loved this showstopper of a dress & so many compliments all night 👗❤️

Wore this showstopper of a dress to a charity event in NYC and received compliments all night long. It was bright, flowy and unique - no one was wearing anything like it. It was sexy and fun, but still classy and elegant. I absolutely loved wearing it and felt beautiful throughout the evening. Surprisingly this dress was incredibly comfortable, easy to wear, and provided great supportive coverage. I am a natural 32DD and was able to dance braless all night long without fear of wardrobe malfunction. Once zipped and buttoned up, the dress needed no pins or tape - it just fit great. However it is worth noting that this dress does strongly emphasizes the bust - in a flattering way - but you have to be comfortable with that. One of my favorite RTR dresses and strongly recommend when you want to make a statement.

Flirty Fun Floral - Felt Beautiful All Day 💖

Wore this charming dress to a conference out in Los Angeles and it was a total hit. Everyone kept asking who the designer was and where I got it. Felt feminine and pretty wearing it, while still sophisticated and polished. And loved the nod to the ontrend pink Barbie vibes, without going over the top with it 💖 This dress runs true to size - I wore an XS which is what I always wear. The cut on this dress is hourglass - so perfect for a curvy figure with equal proportions on top and bottom. It also runs short - I’m only 5’2 and it was well above my knee! The fabric is a soft comfortable cotton and the ruching is nicely tailored. I particularly loved the versatility in styling this dress. To make it more LA casual, I paired it with some tan booties, a denim jacket and a shoulder bag - but could easily have dressed it up to wear to a fancy party or special event. Absolutely loved this dress and would totally recommend!!

On Trend Barbie Vibes & Compliments Everywhere

Wore this fashionable pink dress to the office and then out to an evening event after in NYC. It was the perfect choice, channeling the on-trend Barbie vibes of this summer season. Wearing It felt so fun & relevant, and it generated compliments everywhere 😊 💖🙌 The fit on this dress is true to size. I’m between a 0-2, and the 2 fit perfect. The top is a tiny bit low and the straps are narrow - so I wore a low profile bra and pinned the straps for extra coverage. Also, to make it more office appropriate I paired it with a black belt, kitten heels, and a blazer. The fabric is heavy and high quality. With this, it made the transition from work to evening wear perfectly. Loved this versatile statement dress and would definitely recommend! Easy to style up or down and good for almost any occasion!

Compliments, Compliments, Compliments! 💙💚

Wore this dress on vacation in Nantucket and was literally stopped on the street all day with people complementing me. It was easy and comfortable and held up great to an hour long ferry ride, strolling down cobblestone streets all morning, an afternoon at Jetties beach, and then dinner on the docks. The fit was great and true to size. Im between a 0-2 and the 2 fit great. The top was perfectly snug on my rib cage, but not too tight, and allowed me to wear the dress braless. For the length, I’m 5’2 and was able to wear it as a maxi in flat sandals. The material is a nice high quality thick cotton, and didn’t wrinkle a bit even on a hot summer day. The green and navy colors and tie dye print is vibrant and lively - perfect for a coastal setting. Absolutely loved wearing this dress and would definitely recommend!

Bright, cute, and figure flattering! Perfect for a date!

Wore this great little dress out to dinner on a Sunday night with my boyfriend and it was perfect. Cute, bright and figure flattering it was eye catching, flirty and feminine without being overly sexy. The bright green color, fun print, ruching on the hip, and ruffled hem all were totally on point to make this dress stand out. For fit, the dress ran true to size. I am between 0-2 and the 2 fit great. The top ran a little fuller than the bottom, but not overly so and was able to fill it out with a low cut push up bra. The dress does run short in the hemline - the length was just right on me and I’m 5’2. I also really appreciated the design of this dress. It is perfect tailored: The zipper runs through the ruching in the hips and was so well aligned that nothing pulled. It also has very cleverly placed buttons and hooks on the top, so while a low cut wrap style, nothing showed. Last the details of this dress are high quality: The ruffle in the hem and sleeves are perfectly sewn making them neat and proportional, and I love how the beads on the strings that tie the front bow are heavy and substantial. The other win on this dress is the material. I wasn’t sure of my plans for the day and threw this dress in a backpack just in case we went out. Even though it was bunched up for hours, I literally shook it out and zipped it on and it was flawless. Totally recommend this dress and plan on restyling it for work and wearing it again myself this week!

Smart, Sexy, Fun

Wore this hot little dress to my boyfriend’s high school reunion at the Jersey Shore and it was a total hit. It was effortlessly smart, sexy and fun and know it made a great impression. Felt beautiful wearing it and was reasonably comfortable throughout the day, including a two hour car ride, 90 degree heat, a long Italian lunch, and then a sunset stroll along the ocean at the boardwalk. As for fit, this dress runs on the small side. I’m a. 0-2 and the 2 was tight when I first put it on. I was a little afraid it would be uncomfortable all day, however because the fabric is linen, it stretched and conformed to my body within the first hour of wearing it. Also, I was pleased that the linen didn’t wrinkle hardly at all and the vibrant floral pattern hid anything that did. Further the fabric was vey breathable and an excellent choice for a hot and humid day. The other thing to note about this dress is the side cutouts at the bustline, which I LOVED and found to be very flattering, but they are a bold and sexy choice. Additionally they show cleavage from a non-traditional angle, so again you have to be comfortable with the edgier side view. That being said, I needed no double sided tape to keep everything in place, was not worried about wardrobe malfunction, and was able to go comfortably braless and still look classy. Overall this was one of my favorite RTR dresses. It’s perfect for an event where you want to look subtly sexy and make a bold impression. Such a fun wear!

Beautiful elegant all purpose black dress

Wore this fantastic black dress to a Friday night dinner party on the Upper West Side of NYC. It was elegant and understated yet fabulous all in the same breath. While the rest of the guests were casual, this simple black dress stood out without feeling out of place. It is such a timeless classic it really looks good and could be worn for any occasion. As for cut, it is true to size. I take a 0-2 and the 2 was perfect. The fabric is heavy and double lined, so it drapes great and feels luxurious and substantial. The skirt was a bit long on my 5’2” frame but I was able to wear it as a midi-cut pairing it with 3” heels. Also the hemline is a handkerchief cut, shortening the length on the sides and making it feel lighter all around. There is a zipper on both the top and bottom of the back of the dress making getting into it a bit of a challenge. Once on its easy to wear and good for any occasion. Definitely recommend!

Unusual fun flattering dress - comfortable & easy to wear

Wore this fun sundress with an unusual asymmetrical cut out on the 4th of July. Walked around the Lower East Side of NYC and then onto a party for the fireworks along the river. It felt edgy and hip but still feminine and charming. It was comfortable and held its shape despite a hot night with a lot of moving around. The fit of this dress runs true to size. I generally wear a 0-2 and the 2 was perfect. The proportions on the chest and hip are equal - so works easily if you are hourglass. It’s a nice heavy cotton fabric, so be mindful that It has no give. I’m 5’2” and the hemline hit just above my knee. The cut of the side ruffle is dramatic but not overwhelming on a small frame. For styling, I wore wedges, a mini backpack and a belt with decorative hardware to make it more casual with a downtown party date night vibe. However it would be easy to dress it up with heels and wear it to a more formal event like a summer wedding, baby shower, or graduation party. Enjoyed wearing this dress, appreciated it’s uniqueness and would definitely recommend.

Sophisticated and Polished - Compliments All night :)

So wore this sophisticated dress out in Manhattan on a Friday night. Started with shopping at Tiffany’s on 5th Ave, then walked across Central Park, then onto Lincoln Center for a live dance concert on the plaza. It was very comfortable to walk in, looked polished but not fussy, and I was even able to dance easily at the show. A great dress for a summer date night! I have to say the fit on this dress runs big, After reading the reviews, I sized down to a 0 and it was still quite loose, especially in the chest. I wore a padded push up bra to fill out the top and pinned the straps with safety pins which helped the silhouette tremendously. The little extra room in the hips made it comfortable to walk and dance. The high slit in front was actually not very revealing and I think the generosity in the sizing helped keep it from riding up. It looked tailored and proportional. Wearing the dress made me smile all night and I got tons of compliments. Definitely recommend but do size down.

Sophisticated & Comfortable - Fantastic for work & travel

Wore this dress for a work trip on the train from NYC to Boston and loved it. It was super comfortable and looked great all day, all while allowing me to move effortlessly - getting in and out of taxi cabs, up and down stairs, managing suitcases, sitting for hours, etc. Felt classy and polished the whole time. As for fit, it’s a super easy style to wear. The wrap cut and the diagonal stripes make it slimming and flattering. It has cute pockets and the length was a perfect midi-length on my 5’2” frame. I needed no pins or tape to wear it. The material surprised me - it’s light but has a cotton blend to it, so a little less flowy than I expected. It also needed a good ironing before wearing it. Would definitely recommend.

Easy breezy beautiful!

So this dress was such a win! Wore it all day to NYC Pride and it held up beautifully through crowds, intense heat and humidity, bike rides across the City, a picnic lunch on the grass, and dancing in the streets. It was light, airy, and the movement was great. The colors were vibrant but yet still sophisticated. Very comfortable and really enjoyed wearing it. As for sizing - I wore the XS and it ran a little big. I generally wear a size 0-2. I’m not quite 5’2” but managed the length with heels. I kept the adjustable straps as tight as possible. I also used a safety pin to keep the top closed. It is a wrap dress, and was able to make it small enough by cinching in the ties as tight as much as possible at the waist and doing a double knot in the bow at the front. Overall it’s a very forgiving cut and easy to self tailor. Loved the dress and would definitely recommend for a summer festival, concert or daylong outdoor event.

Compliments ALL NIGHT LONG

This dress was a showstopper. Wore it to my cousins engagement party and had strangers coming up to me and telling me how fantastic my look was. The color of this dress is deep hot orange - not red. The fabric is soft & light but not cheap so it draped great. Definitely hugs your curves, has cut outs and the slit is high, so you have to be comfortable with that. The XS fit me well - generally I’m between a size 0 - 2 with a curvy petite frame. I did have to wear 3” heels and it was a smidge big in the waist, but I’m small and I like my clothes tightly fitted. Overall fantastic dress and will definitely rent it again!
