RTR Team Review!
Loved the super flirty skirt, perfect way to show off your legs! It was a little big in the chest and waist, but I'm also small in those area. I dont think I would have sized up b/c the butt part was already snug. That's why I choose true to size. The surprise V back is a nice fun surprise.

RTR Team Review!
I think this dress actually looks a lot better - both style and fit - in person than it photographs. It hugged my curves perfectly in a fitted, comfortable way. It made me feel very pulled together. The pattern and fabric are very chic, great for when you want to make a splash, but in a polished, sophisticated way.

RTR Team Review!
I have a very small chest so it was a little big in that area - a strapless bra could have helped create a little more shape to fill it out. The silhouette creates a really nice hour glass shape (even if you dont have one!). The length (and I am 5'5" with 2.5" heels) is just right, grazing the floor. Beautiful rich blue color.

RTR Team Review!
I absolutely LOVED this dress. Not only was it extremely comfortable due to the unfitted waist, but also just felt very elegant and pulled together, but in this very laid-back, chic way. The top part fit nicely which prevented it from feeling shapeless. The hem was a little above the knee on one side and below on the other - that length helped contribute to the movement of this dress. I could imagine wearing this to a luncheon or even a cocktail party a bit dressed up.

RTR Team Review!
I am usually a 2, and the 40 was too big for me in the chest and waist, but I think a 38 would cinch it in at the top and make it perfect. Even with the larger size, the length was ok, just grazing the floor (5'5" with 3" heels). The lining and skirt are not fitted so it is quite comfortable. The accordion skirt has beautiful movement, excellent for sashaying around the dance floor all night!

RTR Team Review!
This dress fit like a glove in the best way possible. It was like it was made for my body. The halter top makes it easy to adjust based on bust size (plus for small chested ladies like me). The top part was nice and fitted, but then the skirt was a little looser. I liked how the slip is a little shorter than the handkerchief hem so you can show off the legs a bit. Although all the important parts are covered, there are bits of transparency, a really nice subtle detail. I predict this will be a favorite amongst brides - great for a shower or rehearsal dinner.

RTR Team Review!
This is quite the bombshell look - sexy but sophisticated. Although it is very curve-hugging, it also was forgiving b/c the fabric is a little thicker and structured. In fact, it has a built in cup, so it would be great for someone with a fuller cup size. So, everything felt very "in place". Also, FYI the red is a little darker, almost like a blood red. Highly recommend for when you want to make an entrance as the lady in red!

RTR Team Review!
Nothing short of OBSESSED with this top. It was nice and fitted in the rib cage, but then flared out a bit at the tummy, so ultimately was really comfortable while looking super high fashion and chic. Don't be intimidated by the sleeves and tuxedo-like longer hem in the back - it feels just like wearing a tailored shirt, just with a bit more flair, for those days when you want to spice it up a bit (perfect for transitioning from a work to date b/c it's both strong and beautiful). I wound up wearing it with leather pants (like it was shown on the runway) to mix a bit of edge with the sweet pattern.

Sophisticated but sexy!
The skirt fits high so you only see a sliver of skin, making it totally appropriate for a more formal event - mine was a friends rehearsal dinner. I like how the print and cut are a little funky, so I played that up by pairing with black and white lace up heels. Highly recommend, got compliments all night long!

Formal but with a twist
I felt totally sophisticated and appropriate for a rehearsal dinner at a nice hotel in this outfit, but I love how it had a little extra personality to it - both from the crop top and the funky print. B/c I have a small bust sometimes tops can be a little big on me but this fit perfectly. Really loved it, got SO many compliments all night long.

Clutch last minute Halloween costume!
I had the idea to dress as Carrie for Halloween, and just happened to come across this dress that was absolutely perfect for it. The plus side is that I felt really pretty in this dress, so it can totally function as a regular dress. I was a little worried the top would be too big for me b/c I have a smaller bust but it was actually perfect. I also thought the length might be tricky but it was more flattering than I expected.

Fun, flirty and FLATTERING!
I got a size down from my usual (that's all that was available), so it was a little snug, but if I had my normal size Im sure it would have been perfect. It was nice and fitted in the bodice, fitted into the waist. The skirt was a forgiving in the bottom half. I dressed it down with black tights and boots, but could totally see this with black pumps for a cocktail party look.

AWESOME Alt to Dress for Cocktail Party!
I wore this to a family holiday party, and it struck the perfect balance between being polished but also fun. I loved it! Sometimes I find rompers ride up and are tight in the bottom, but this one actually had a little room, making it really comfortable. I got tons of compliments all night long!

Sexy boho look for a fun night out!
It was a little shorter than expected, but I like showing off my legs so that worked for me. Loved this romper with black tights and boots to make it work for winter. I wore to dinner with girlfriends but would be perfect for a hot date. :)

Sexy sophisticated with touch of sparkle!
Really love how this jumpsuit reveals just the right amount to make me feel sexy but not overexposed. I got compliments all night long. This is probably more my problem than the outfits, but if you're in my same boat and have a small chest, important to know that the bandeau part was very loose-fitting. I had to do a combination of stuffing with extra padding and fashion tape, and it still felt insecure. I tried my best to dance, but def would have felt more comfortable with more proper undergarments.

Sexy but not over the top and comfortable!
Although you wouldn't think it the crop top is actually quite flattering, only revealing the skinniest part. Fabric has just the right amount of stretch so fits really well.

Simple elegance!
This dress fit perfectly in the bodice. Love the exposed back. The skirt is very demure - slightly shorter in front than back. I wore this to a daytime bridal shower with more casual sandals (threw a leather jacket over to make it more daytime) - but might rent it again so I can wear to a more dressed up affair, with pumps. It's the perfect cocktail dress.

So comfortable and easy to dress up or down!
The fabric of this dress is incredibly soft and comfortable. There's a great shimmer to the fabric. It might have been ever so slightly large, especially at the bottom, but it didnt matter b/c it was so comfortable and still looked chic. I wore this to a daytime bridal shower but with a different heal and some jewelry would have been great at night too.

Perfect spring outfit. I wore to Easter, but would be great for a bridal shower or daytime wedding.
The little pom poms running up the leg make this dress really fun to wear - you want to shimmy around the whole time you're wearing it. Definitely follow the advice that this runs a little small (1 size down for me). Fit perfectly in the bust and waist.
