Great bag for formal event!
I think I was the first person to use this purse - the tags were still on! Great, versatile spring / summer wedding purse. It fits everything you need. :-)

Fit like a glove!
These are some of the best-fitting jeans I have ever worn. It is so hard for me to find jeans that fit. The only thing I'd change are how many buttons there are on them, but the more I wore them, the easier it was to button. Absolutely love these.

The pattern on the dress is incredible! Very unique.
I had originally ordered a medium and it didn't even fit over my chest (I'm a 34C and traditionally a medium). The large fit quite well (although a tad big). Ended up wearing it for Easter and it was perfect.

Runs super small
Not only does this run small (possibly two sizes small) it sinches right in the waist. Not flattering at all.

Everyday comfort
Loved not having to think about what to wear just to run errands - easy breezy! Other reviews are dead on - the waist of these pants is big and the tie doesn't really do much. I have larger hips though, so my regular size worked just fine.

Colors and sleeves!
Great season transition shirt, but it is very boxy. Definitely not down fitting, but colors are nice and ruffled sleeves are cute - lots of compliments!

Perfect work shirt
Always looking for dressier shirts to dress black jeans up for work and this fit the bill. Was very true to size. One thing - if you move a certain way the holes between the buttons in the front open a little!

This fit perfectly and the shape was very flattering.
I unfortunately didn't wear this - the material was heavier than expected and it just didn't mesh with current weather.

I did not wear this dress.
Great quality, and perfect length for work. It was unfortunately just too small (I'm usually an 8, and I rented a 10).

I did not wear these earrings.
The earrings were way bigger and heavier than expected. Was hoping to bling up a dress for my sister's shower.

The color is one of a kind, and it hugs you in all of the right places - perfect for a wedding!
I had been eyeing this dress for so long in multiple colors before I took the plunge about a week before my friend's black tie wedding. Listen to the reviews - it runs VERY small. I'm usually a 6 or 8, but ended up going with a 10 for this dress and it was extremely tight. That said, it hugs you in all of the right places (Spanx are your best friend here!), is an incredible color and photographs so well - I got compliments all night! One funny / annoying thing - the night before the wedding I realized that you have to remove / unzip the whole dress to use the bathroom. I could barely zip / unzip it as it was, so I knew it would be challenging, but everything ended up working out. :-)

Both sizes were too small.
I unfortunately wasn't able to wear this dress because both sizes were too small. I'm normally a 6 or an 8 so opted for both sizes - the 8 barely zipped up. I think the 10 would've been fine, but I'm surprised to hear others say the dress was true to size. Really bummed. NOTE: the top fit fine with the 8 (it was even a little big and I have larger breasts) - it was the bottom half that was the problem.

The dress itself was beautiful, true to the photos but just too big for me to wear.
I was extremely excited to wear this dress for a friend's wedding in California. Black is usually my "uniform" so was looking forward to trying something different. I ordered both my usual size and size above per the reviews that this dress mostly runs true to size. I was swimming in the larger size. My actual size wasn't enormous - the bottom and top areas fit relatively well but the waist was really big. Thankfully my friend had an extra dress (in black of course) that I could wear! The dress and design itself were true to the photo so bummer that it didn't work out. Was really looking forward to my first RTR experience per all of the great reviews but hope to give it a try again soon.
