Length is off
Not sure if it's my body type, but this skirt only fit high waisted on me, which made the length off. If I had worn this more low rise (which I couldn't because it wouldn't fit) it may have been full maxi length. Great quality with some (very minimal) stretch but disappointed about the length.

Love
I eyed this piece for months, worrying it would be too long on my short frame (5'2'). It's perfect! It hits right at my mid shins for a perfect midi length without looking like a high water maxi, or frumpy. A lot of people say you can size down because it stretches so much, but I think it's TTS and got mg usual large. Any tighter and it would be inappropriate for work or stretch out the pattern in a bad way. If you're curvier, go with your normal size. It might also holds its shape well through the day and does not feel too heavy or hot for a summer day.

Not for anyone with hips or a butt
Does not stretch and cuts into your hips if you're curvy. Straps are adjustable but still too long if you have shorter torso. Overall, just didn't work.

Got my usual size but it was too tight in the chest so I didn't wear it. It fit, just not comfortably.

Size down
I'm a 34DDD and usually a size large. I didn't want an oversized look so I sized down to a medium and it was perfect in the chest and length for a curvy and petite body.

Rides up on curvy bodies
Length was fine on my 5'2" frame but it tends to ride up once you sit because it was looser on my waist and tight on my hips. The loose waist made it hard to wear any spanks or undergarments that sat high waisted because they would be exposed if you were opting for a crop top or something not tucked in. Overall, still a great skirt! Just needed a bit of work for a good fit.

Rent the whole set
The large pants fit just right with one pants layer underneath (thin workout leggings). Length was perfect as well with my bulky snow boots. It photographed so well and kept me warm all day in Alaska on a glacier hike in 20 F weather. It’s water proof so no issues with snow getting through if you’re doing outdoor snow activities in this.

Loved and good for petite frames
Absolutely loved this puffer jacked. I read that you should size up for this brand and took a risk since there were no reveiws yet, but that was a bad idea. I got an XXL and was swimming in it. Swapped it for the L (my usual size) and it fit perfect and kept me so warm in Alaska in 15-30 F weather. It also packs down well if you're using a vacuum bag for travel. It was just the right amount of puffy for my 5'2" frame and did not make me feel or look fat even with 1-3 layers underneath. (See photo where I open jacket to show my frame). I read a review that said the jacket didn't have pockets, but that's not true. It does have roomy zipper pockets on either side that sit higher up for a cute look. The neck area seems like a lot, but in the weather I was in, it worked. Anything warmer and it may feel like too much if you're aren't used to puffer jackets. This also photographed so well and was very versatile. My one critique is the zipper can be a bit sticky, but I received it NWT so it may just need to be broken in. Would buy if I had more uses for it!

Grandpa PJs
I didn't wear as they weren't spandex or fitted. They were knit material and had so much gaping in the crotch which would have been crazy uncomfortable under all my other layers for the snow. Maybe I was too short for this, but even so, the material was not great and didn't feel warm. Do not recommend.

Not cropped if you have a short torso
This jacket is extremely warm and thick, but I would almost say too thick. It adds a lot of volume to the body and is not as cropped as I'd like so in photos it just makes me kinda look fat. I also sized down to a M from my usual L, so anymore sizing down would not allow me to zip it. If you were going for the oversized look, maybe this would work. That is probably where I messed up as I did not want the oversized look. Overall still a great jacket and would rent again! I would also add this may run big in general as I had 2 layers under this size medium, and it still zipped up. However, even without layers it still looked bulky on my frame.

Great for all weather and occasions
As someone who is curvy, these pants offered the right amount of curve around the hips (and had a great high waist good for shorter torsos) and loose enough around the legs for a great flowy fit. The length was a bit long for my 5'2" frame but the cinching at the ankles was amazing and fixed that while still allowing for the look of a wide leg. Iwore them to work, out on the weekend running errands, and even to Alaska wiht layers as snow pants (these are not waterproof). I wanted to buy them, and still may!

Cute for vacation
Like the other reviews say, it is tiny but you can fit a compact, lip combo, and phone, but it will be overstuffed. There is also an ID and card slot but can't fit more than 2 cards in there. Be careful if you over stuff it, some things may fall out when you pull something else out. I don't recommend keeping your phone in it.

Versatile
Great for work or night out! The opening after the last buttons is short enough for night out but does not show skin making it perfect for work as well. I have a shorter torso and struggle with side boob/bra peeking out the arm hole, with tops like this. I did have the same problem, but it was manageable with some adjustment.

Not as supportive as others said
Fit was great and material feels like high quality felt but very forgiving and still high end. I am 36DDD and it was not as supportive as I would have liked going braless. To be fair, I don't usually like going braless so that may have been the discomfort I was feeling. It did lose its shape over the night which is why the support in the chest would inevitably not last through the night. I had to readjust the/re-tie the straps once and then kept having to adjust the girls for support. Still a fun dress and not too hot for a vacation night outfit in Puerto Rico. Would rent again and wear with a bra. Definitely a head turner if you have the curves.

Way too big
This is better suited for taller people or those with longer torsos. I'm 5'2 and even with the straps completely tightened, it was too big. Cute and true size around the hips though. For reference I'm generally a 12/14.

Beautiful but as other reviewers said: its very heavy and thick sweater material. Not good for a summer option and it's a little too boxy and shows everything so not forgiving

Chest is too exposed and the hook closure pulls
I didn't wear as it was a little too tight in my hips and the hook closure on the chest cheapened it. It fit in the chest, but somehow the hook was still causing the fabric to pull created a keyhole effect that did not look good.

Wore for a summer wedding. The bodice is lined so it can get slightly uncomfortable after sitting for too long, but once I got up and started dancing it was fine and easy to move in.

Amazing for short girls!
This thing fit amazing! I'm 5'2, 36DDD and curvy, and it fit just right. With 4 inch heels the length was fine, but I also adjusted the straps a little tighter and it worked fine without exposing a strapless bra in the mesh area. It also has pockets. The only downfall was I needed help every time I went to the bathroom, but that is to be expected with certain rompers. I wore this to a party and danced the night away, no problem. I also wore it out for Galentines and got tons of compliments.

Slit in back runs way too high up
I was unable to wear this dress because the slit in the back literally stopped just below my lower butt crack. Any movement or riding up would have my exposed me. I tried to wear spanx underwear, but again, the slit exposed this and was visible anytime I walked. I am 5'2 and it hit a little under the middle of my shins. I'm a 36DDD and you can wear it without a bra as there is corset boning at the top. There is also enough room if you choose to wear a bra and won't be spilling out the top.

Runs extremely small
Rented this for a concert and sized up as the reviews said it ran very small. The sizing up still did not help. I am typically a size 10, but even the 12 would not go past my hips. The material hardly has any give, either. Beautiful dress and I wish I could have worn it. Received a credit, however, and am still satisfied with RTR.

Sexy & Classy at the same time!
This dress was fun to wear as I've been dying for an excuse to wear a full length gown. I am 5'2", 175lbs, 36DDD. My torso is pretty short so the chevron didn't really show as it bunched upwards on my torso. I have that issue with a lot of dresses because my waist is so much smaller than my hips and thighs (mix between pear shape and hour glass). Surprisingly, the 12L (12R was unavailable) was perfect. I wore 4 inch heels and the floor just grazed the floor without causing any issues with walking. Dress is stretchy enough to allow for comfortable sitting/bending over. You have to go braless as the the back of the dress is too low to wear a strapless without it showing. The material is thick enough that it holds the gals up without needing pasties. My only one complaint is that I kept having to pull the dress up from the neck so that I didn't have too much side boob exposure. This dress does a good job of smoothing any imperfections, so feel free to opt out of spanx, but it is not too forgiving on your midsection if that is an issue for you.

Stand out dress!
The midsection of this dress is not forgiving so if you're pretty self confident about that, I don't recommend this dress. However, as I am 5'2 the slit did not hit too high and I was able to wear spanx. I have a larger upper body in comparison to my lower half so while the 12 fit perfect (and ultimately what I wore) it was a little large in the bust area, but the 10 would have been perfect for my bust (36DDD) while too small for my lower half. The 10 did fit, but there was pulling at the slit that made it look bad so I decided on the 12. Just something to consider if you are wearing this to a conservative event. The dress is extremely comfortable and the material is forgiving, making this great for curvy girls! Again, just keep in mind if you are extremely curvy this may be too sexy for a conservative event. I wore this to a wedding and felt it was a little too revealing. While I normally don't mind that, the event did not call for that lol, but I made do! Overall I loved the dress and would definitely rent again! Also great and simple experience with RTR. This is my second rental and as usual, they didn't disappoint!

Everyone loved it! I kept getting asked where I got my dress from !
It is great for curvy women and definitely displays your assets. It might show a little too much cleavage if you are the more conservative type. I am a size 36 D, but luckily no wardrobe malfunctions to report. All in all, great statement dress with just enough sexy. Also, the length was perfect; I wore 4 inch heels and it provided just the right floor sweeping length.
