Super cute and bump friendly, but probably just for first or second trimester
I sized up to fit my early third trimester bump. Which worked for a week from when I got it. I did have to pick up the straps since the straps were too long but overall, it was really cute.

Easy-going but more cropped than expected
The front is more cropped than expected, and the sleeves are a little on the short side. You probably want to size up two for a good oversize look.

really tall waist
The waist reach up to my lower ribs and was baggy in the fly, so I never figured out how to style with a cropped shirt. But I wore them lots with longer shirts!

Very Cute and Versatile
So cute and versatile, I am trying the size down now. I got it to be oversized but it was way oversized. It may have been because I got it new though.

Light and cute but wide shoulders for me
I'm pear shaped, so maybe this is just bc my shoulders are narrower, but the shoulders felt a little wider than in the model pic. felt a little '80s but still cute!

Cute! But more casual that you think!
It's hard to tell in pics but I found it more casual than it shows bc it's cotton. It has more of a fun summer day to night dress than a nice dinner in spring dress

Cute but couldn't figure out how to make family friendly
I knew this would be a challenge to make family friendly but I never actually figured it out. The cutouts went pretty low and wide and adding a bra with visible straps underneath didn't really help. Great for time with friends or a day on your own!

Super cute but runs very small
I am normally a 14 in pants and skirts on RTR. Pear shaped so I sometimes have issues with straight cut things. The skirt flares so i was hopeful but my whole butt would have hung out if I closed it where it wanted to close (up near my ribcage). Definitely recommend going up at least a size or 2

Cute! But maybe size up
for a flowier fit, size up. It fits just right and true to size like the model pic but I wanted a looser fit. The shoulders and pattern are a bit too summer for Oct but was great on my Malaysia Trip!

Cute! But a little hard for a pear
Wore this to a salsa club night and vacation. It fit right in the wast and hips but the bust was too big. I added some pushup cutlets which helped but didnt totally fix the problem. The strap length moves as you wear it so set it with a pin as best you can.

Funky fit but so cool if you get it right
I love a breezy wide leg moment but sometimes have problems with it getting caught in my thighs while I walk 😅. But these were great and didn't get caught! I was glad I sized down and think that helped with my normal problem but still was wide and billowy. The rise was still a bit long and had to wiggle in and out bc the elastic but once on they were great!

So Unique! Great for pear shapes
It definitely sits at the empire waist line and starts to flare at the hips so it's great for hourglass and pear shapes. I wore with a cropped tee and a cropped tank as casual looks. It was a little tight in the hips during the first hour of wear but then the linen relaxed and it was fine

Long straps Cute body Great with Cardigan
Great color and so fun! It's a little cropped and low neckline which I liked. The straps are indeed long so I pinned them in the back and wore it with jackets or cardigans

Hugs all the good curves!
Very silky and drapey. Looks beautiful on. Will need boobtape and will need to potentially mess with the length of the adjustable straps. There's a little pit of puckering on the hips but I think a little steam will help. Planning on dressing down with little sneakers or sandals.
