Scratchy and unflattering
The neoprene material hangs nicely, but the seams are unfinished and scratchy on the skin. The skirt is a-like but the material bunches in front and gives a FUPA look.

Really awesome but FYI it is SKIN TIGHT!
Cool cut, great craftsmanship (the buttons down the front of the chest are decorative, so there is no gapping) but Jesus this ran small! Not the sort of thing that felt comfortable sitting in. Had to zip myself in like a sausage.

Flattering but VERY thin material
The thin polyester material on this makes it uncomfortable in hot weather, and freezing when it's cold. The drape is really nice, but the front looks best when you zip it all the way up, and I found the neck hole to be uncomfortably tight that way. Overall, would recommend this - but for very specific weather conditions, i.e., late spring. Style tip: this looked great with ankle boots and a blazer.

Genius design - fashion-forward but functional
Stretchy but holds its shape. Snaps at the back neck instead of buttons so it's easy to take down in the bathroom (i.e., as opposed to many other jumpsuits, you don't feel like you're racing against fashion to avoid pissing your pants in this one). Two snaps on the neck allow you to adjust the drape on the top. The cap sleeves are baggy, which is really flattering, but there's a fabric insert in the armpits so that the arm holes don't gape/show your bra. Basically perfect because it's comfy as hell and flattering and takes into consideration the reality of living in a human body.

Material is thick enough to flatten ur butt, stretchy enough to accentuate saddle bags.
Not my favorite combination ^ The material also has no texture. Since it's smooth you should keep a lint roller handy. Still gave it four stars because part of the problem appeared to be my body. Definitely as pictured! Would recommend for someone in their teens or 20s. Rock it ladies ;)

Very pretty, but heavy!
Maybe my ears aren't built for clip ons, but I had to take these off in the middle of the day.

Great size
I liked the contrast of the fabric handle with the leather bag. It fits a standard sized laptop. (Wish RTR would specify this for bags - I know I could measure based on the item details but I'm lazy.) anyway if you need to carry a laptop everywhere like I do, this is great! Definitely more orange than red.

Super cropped
Cute pattern, but it was so cropped that it sat two inches above the button of my super high waist jeans. Not a flattering length. I wore a shirt tucked in under it which didn't look quite right. Couldn't make it work.

Beautiful jacket that I would never buy
Super comfortable. Wore it more as a sweater than a jacket. The sleeves are fitted in a way that's flattering but precludes a sweater.

So cute
The only downside to this is that it's too small to hold a phone. So I left mine at home, and for a moment in time felt completely free of the robots!!! Highly recommend.

Good luck trying to keep your boobs and crotch covered in this dress!
The material is thick and stretchy, which makes it comfy, but the thickness makes it heavy; I was pulling this up all night. Had to wear three padded strapless bras just to keep it up, and even then I was tugging at it all night. I have a small chest but with all the bras I was at least a C cup, and the fact that that didn't cut it seems crazy. Also: this is a beautiful dress, and the cut makes it look really classy -- but only when you're walking. Literally any other activity in this dress is impaired: dancing makes it bounce down your body, the slit creates great opportunity for flashing one's vagina while doing the twist, and even sitting through the ceremony was a chore because the slit hung open all the way to my inner thigh, was worse if I crossed my legs, and had to be held shut with one hand the whole service - and even then it gapped at the top because there wasn't enough fabric! I would say that this might work for a red carpet event, but not for a wedding, which is what I got it for. Three stars only because it's beautiful and comfy, and because it might work really well if you have big, big boobs.

Comfy Tomboy meets high fashion
This mustard coat hit my sweet spot in terms of style: as comfortable as LL Bean pajamas, and a statement piece. Loved the thick cord. Wore it to work for a week. It's oversized so I got a zero (usually wear a 2 for coats).
