Got this as a rush pick back up for a dress that was unavailable. I’m so glad the other dress worked out because I would have cried if I was left with this. Not that the jumpsuit is bad, it just was too plain for where I was going. I wore it the next day to brunch. It looks good with sneakers or heels. I should’ve ordered my normal size (M) but the large gave a slightly oversized look.

Top Heavy Improvisation
I knew because of my boobs I’d have to size up. The larger size I ordered was damaged and unable to deliver so I had my original size. I put myself in that dress because it was my Cowboy Carter vision. I added a T-shirt on top because I didn’t like the underarms and I felt subconscious about my boobs. Everything came together. The dress was a dream!! I think if I had the larger size, I would’ve have worn it by itself.

Bright Star!
I wore this fun, flirty dress for a hot summer wedding in Texas. Total stunner and did I mention fun? Someone wasted water on me and the dress dried quickly with no stain. I wore the larger size due to the top being tight on my normal size. I have DDD breasts so I expect that at times. The dress I wore actually had a little room to spare. Only downside is ironing is a chore. I ironed the night before and steamed the day of.

Luxurious and Rich Color
I selected this dress for my 5 year anniversary photos because I had no luck in purchasing a dress I liked. RTR always comes through. The dress fit like a glove and was the perfect length for a shorty like me. Although I like my dress to hit the floor in heels, this still was perfect. The color was beautiful! And the detail in the stomach hid what I needed it to hide. And last but not least: the split! It was not a play split and was exactly the amount of sexy I wanted.

I rented this dress to wear to my birthday dinner party. I chose another rental to wear. This dress was a beautiful color and sexy. It hugs your curves and hides the tummy area. You will need Spanx to smooth out trouble areas if you have them.

This dress was beautiful to wear. I wore it for my semi formal birthday dinner party. It would be perfect for any winter event. And it is great on the dance floor! It does run and little big but I did not mind.

Not a sheath
This dress is short and tight. I couldn't even zip it up (easily) and I am a true 10. It didn't hide my trouble spots as I expected it too. It just didn't work for me.

A Hint of Thigh
I wore this dress for my cousin's 50th birthday. It was the perfect mix of sexy and sophisticated. Gives great cleavage and the thigh high split hit just right on my short frame. The dress also hides trouble spots for a smooth finish.

Sequins and Football just go together.
I wore this skirt for my football watch party Birthday. I wanted something that would be the perfect feminine touch to football. I wore it with a Cowboys tshirt. The skirt fit me high in the waist like I like it. It was tea length on me since I'm short. I only wished it had pockets. Pockets would have made it perfect.

So flirty and fun!
This dress is so cute! It's super stretchy yet sturdy. It helped my spanx! I received tons of compliments. The dress fits true to size. I could have worn the medium but it wasn't as forgiving. It is short but definitely sweet. I felt fabulous and flirty!

This jumper was gorgeous in color. However, I didn't like the fit on me. It just seemed too bulky. It would probably look best on someone thinner and taller.

Perfect for my engagement surprise!
I wore this cute romper for my boyfriend's 30th birthday party I planned for him. It turned out to be my engagement night! This was so cute. I'm short so I imagine it would be a little cheeky on taller girls. But other than that it was my perfect kind of fit.

My fiancé called me Super Bride!
I rented this dress for my rehearsal dinner. My then fiancé thought it was too over the top and a little too baggy so I went with a form fitting dress. I think if the dress was more fitted it would be better.

I was the belle of my bridal shower!
I wore this dress to my bridal shower with a tulle skirt. The dress was the dress fit my curves amazingly. Putting it on was a little scratchy but once on, I didn't feel a thing. I love the sequin details of the dress; it made me shine. With my tulle skirt it was perfect for my shower, but without it the dress is more suitable for a night out. Overall everyone loved the dress and I received so many compliments.

This dress was perfect for my birthday brunch!
I ordered this dress a freebie for my PROaccount Birthday. I wanted something conservatively chic and this caught my eye. The dress fit just right and is perfect if you are top heavy. The length is even good on my short frame hitting above the knee. To give it a pop I decided to pair with fushcia pumps and lips.

Nice dress!
This dress wasn't necessarily one if my favorites but it was cute. I wore it to a beach wedding. I think it was the fact that I couldn't get the pleats pressed out right. The dress needed to be steamed and the hotel iron was not doing the job. However I got a lot of compliments. I'm top heavy and it was a little snug in the chest but not too constricting. I wore with a racer back bra to hide the straps. Overall, it was a good dress.

Simply Beautiful
This dress is amaze. Parker is always spot on with great quality and color. I wore this dress for a bachelorette weekend with the girls. I ordered up from my usual size and I'm glad I did. The large was nicely fitted but not constricting tight on me. It zipped smoothly but had I ordered the medium I don't think it would have fit. The dress was still a mini on me which is a plus but tall girls beware. Also if you have large breast order up. My "girls" were a little stuffed in there. I felt beautiful and sexy in this dress. My boyfriend loved it.

Me in this dress was "gift enough"!
I wore this for my honey's birthday date. He loved it and I loved it too. At first I wanted it to be black but the shiny gray was actually really pretty. The dress is a little long in the torso for us shorties. I belted the dress and cuffed the dress underneath it to make it a perfect fit. I couldn't make my convertible bra work with this dress so I had to be on strap duty. It didn't bother me that it showed but it may bother others. Due to the strap and the long torso, I give 4 stars. Oh and the dress was short on me, which is a good thing! Sorry I didn't get any frontal shots. It was all about him that night.

Cute, Sexy, and Just Right!
This dress was a perfect combination of my style. I love fit and flare but sometimes the flare can be overwhelming and too long. This dress hugged my frame perfectly. The hint of green kept surprising everyone. It didn't show much on me but it was fine because I was supposed to be wearing all black as a hostess of my mom's party. Very true to size and I was happy it fit my large breasts. The only con is the sleeve area, it showed my bra but it wasn't too much of a big deal. Great to dance in too! Thanks again RTR!!

I felt sophisticated and sexy!
Every said I gave them Jackie O/ Diana Ross flair. I wore this dress to church and to my birthday dress. It was perfect. I wore red the entire weekend and this beautiful red was perfect. The 6 fit like a glove but I wore the 8 since I was going to church so I would say that it is true to size. I'm 5'2 and it hit me below the knee. My only issue was the wire that frames the top did not stay flat like it was supposed to.

Great dress...
I felt sort of amazing in this dress. I received so many compliments on this night as I flowed through the gala. My only worry was the top. I have double d's and the bodice was not having it. I couldn't wear a bra with it. I could fit the 6 but due to my breast size, I had to wear the 8. My breasts were a little smushed but I had to wear it. I just had to be on breast watch. The length was great for me. I wore 5in heels and the dress grazed the ground. Overall I felt great and my boyfriend loved it.

It was okay, not what I wanted
I received this dress in place of another dress that was not returned in time. I had my heart set on the other dress for my birthday date and this dress was not what I was looking for. I wanted red but this dress was orange. The fit was fine. I'm top heavy so it worked. The material was thick, a good thick. The arms were a little too big though. I decided not to wear the dress. It was not what I was going for. I just wished RTR would have told me earlier than they did about my other dress.

This dress was amazing. My boyfriend loved it and I received many compliments. The 6 was a good fit but my breast are rather large so I went with the 8 for a little more room. This dress is perfect for dancing!

This dress was perfect for my daytime patio party. I had to order the L because the medium was not available but UT worked just fine. I think it kept the dress from being short because it was a good length on me. Very comfy, loved the pockets!

This dress fit horrible in both sizes I ordered. It was nothing like I expected. Its not fitted a the bottom, it just has this loose flap at the back. Its really pretty and its a shame that it's ill fitting. I had nothing to wear for my birthday.

I loved this romper. I have huge breasts (DD) but I took a risk and ordered it anyway. It was tight in the chest but I expected it. It didn't look bad though. I got a lot of compliments and since I have a high waist, it was also very slimming.

The dress fits nice but RTR sent me a Halston belt, not the one shown. The belt was black with a gaudy gold buckle. It wasn't what I expected and I wasn't happy with that belt. I didn't get to wear it though.
