Grownup Wednesday
Adore this dress. Heavy knit hides bumps and the pleated skirt is just everything.

Sadly, the poplin is a lovely but unforgiving material. Wore it and felt uncomfortable all day.

This dress is so lovely. Sad I couldn’t wear it as the armholes are so thought it feels like they’re sewn on backwards.

Too small in the waist
I ordered my usual size, but the high waist and lack of stretch prevented me from buttoning them. Too bad, because I love the pants.

It’s a long shirt
Way too short on its own. I had to wear skinny pants under it to make the « dress » work appropriate. Also, it’s not for large-chested folks. I wore a cami underneath, as it gaped at the chest, which sort of ruined the overall look.

Too Big in Wrong Places
First off, why is there a side zipper that requires one to twist to the point of absurdity to pull? Also, the pants pooped at the lower tummy but the waist was incredibly small. Couldn’t size up or I’d be recruited for Ringling Brothers. Disappointing.

Couldn’t Wear Them
First off, I couldn’t even button them- when I went to fasten the waist, the button just fell off in my hand. Second, they were soooo long that I would’ve had to wear 6-inch heels to make them wearable. If the button were secure and I were five inches taller, they would’ve been great.

Beautiful Pattern with Design Flaws
This is a beautiful blouse, and it fit well except that it really needs two additional buttons at the bottom. I was constantly having to adjust it so that my midriff wouldn’t show. Also, despite it fitting comfortably, the placket gapes at the chest.

Lots of Compliments, But…
This top fit perfectly with a camisole under, as there’s a tendency for the fabric between the bottoms to reveal skin. I loved the look, but I was horrified when I’m the middle of a presentation I looked down to find that 2 buttons had fallen off. I was able to find them, but RTR should make sure buttons and fasteners are secure before shipping items.

I could’ve sized down because they were slightly loose, but they were so comfortable. I got compliments on the cut of these pants all day. Shorties beware, you’ll need to wear a heel.

This is a beautiful top. I wore it with a camisole for work, without for date night. The material has a lovely weight to it and I felt elegant wearing it. I sized up and was glad I did.
