Fine
Meh. A little too boho for me and isn't tummy friendly.

Didn't wear
First I got a 10 - too tight in the ribcage. Then I got a 12 - okay in ribcage, too big everywhere else. I looked like a blob. Returned both sizes unworn.

Good quality but itchy
I wore this a few times and appreciated the quality and color. I love the knit aspect of it. But my god the itchiness factor was beyond.

A little loose for me, I take a 10 in tops and this was baggier than I would've liked. But a high quality sweater -- easy to throw on for zooms or weekend.

Might've worked if I had gotten an M instead of L. Reminded me of something from 1984. Never wore.

Excellent quality but a bit stiff, not super comfortable. Also heavy--I was sweating in it. Looks impressive as long as you don't need to relax . :)

Side wouldn’t zip, I was afraid to break. Got the sense that even if I had been able to close it, the skirt would’ve been unflattering.

Perfect denim jacket
I kept this in my closet for a couple months, wore it in Portugal and out for dinner and on a boat and felt great in it. So I finally purchased! I usually hate denim jackets but this one feels modern and sophisticated. And heavy, quality denim that still feels easy breezy. Rent!

Waaaaay too small
These are really pretty pants but my god they were tight! We’re talking yeast infection tight. I got the XL but they fit like a size 6, could barely zip and I’m usually between a 10 and 12. SZ Blockprints’ website sells XXL but RTR doesn’t. So I guess these pants are a no-go. Why on earth do designers create sizing that make women feel obese?? Sigh.

So pretty!
I love this dress. I think that the puff sleeves, length and shape make my waist look tiny (it’s the smallest part of me anyway, but this dress plays it up even more). Keeping it for the summer.

OMG BEAUTIFUL
Flattering, sexy, pretty, covers the parts I want to cover and hides my least favorite spots. Yes the fabric is light and unlined, but wow did I get compliments on this dress. Still haven’t returned it and probably won’t until September!

Not sure what the excitement is around these. 100% cotton which I like but agree with other reviewers, tight around hips. Back flap pockets kept flipping up at the corners. Good for a few wears.

I sized up to a 12 per the reviews and that was the right move. I kept this for several months, wore it maybe 4x and felt so sophisticated.

Fit well. It's a heavy cotton so has weight to it but breathes and is super comfortable, not itchy at all which is such a relief!! I wore many times and loved it. Also looks great on Zoom!

I'm usually a L but had to size down to a S in this. If you style this blouse right it'll look cool, but still so much fabric. And ITCHY.

Sophisticated
Yes the arms are crazy long but I folded them up and the blouse still looked nice and fit better. It's a unique look--if you're confident with the looseness and pair it with slim pants, you'll look like a million bucks.

Many compliments
I'd usually be a L but I'd worn another Adam Lippes cardigan last year that was oversized so got the M, which was perfect for me because I only buttoned one or two buttons. The lavender plaid is really pretty and I was a fan of the rhinestone buttons, they elevate the look. A lovely sweater! Oh and it's thick--not for weather above 35 degrees!

Looks pretty in the pictures but strangely unappealing on. Baggy, shapeless, the embroidery had a weird way of framing the boobs that made me look huge.
