Short Waisted
Very good quality, but it is designed to sit at the waist. I have a long torso, and that meant it was constantly riding up. I don't like showing off my midsection, so I chose not to wear it.

This sweater reminds me of the 80s. It has hearts woven into the fabric design.

Just okay
Good quality, thick fabric, a bit heavy. I wore it open like a jacket with a shirt underneath; otherwise, the buttons would have felt like they were stretching too much

Nice, everyday sweater
I liked the V-neck, which added some interest to this otherwise ordinary sweater.

Corduroy pants
I'm definitely going to have to size up in this brand. I couldn't get the waist to close.

Short-waisted/cropped
I didn't wear this top. I'm too long-waisted, and this top is too short for my taste.

Deep V-neck
I did not have a chance to wear this top, but I would if I had the right occasion for it. It has a sexy deep V, so if you are modest, you might need to wear a complementary bra or undertop to make sure you feel covered up.

Silky fabric
I love the way this bias-cut dress hangs over my hourglass frame. It helps to give me structure too, because I am long-waisted and a lot of dresses cut me off too high, making it look like I don't have a lean waist. This dress skims the skin and helps to give me more of a waist than other dress types.

Simply elegant but casual
This can be dressed up or down. The pictures make the fabric look flimsy, but it has structure and a nice pattern. Made from a quality material that hangs nicely and clings to all the right places without making me feel squeezed into it.

Pointelle Cardigan Dress
Adam Lippes x RTR
Size Worn: XL
Usual Size: 14
Height: 5' 8"

Bust: 38D
Just okay
This top is well-made and has an interesting pattern, but it is also sort of shapeless and boxy. On my body, it just made me look like I didn't have a waist. I wound up wearing this as if it were a cardigan with a tighter top underneath. I left it unbuttoned as if it were a cardigan/jacket. It didn't work perfectly, though.

Light and airy, fun to wear

Loved this top
I loved the way this top hugged my curves in all the right places, but it never felt tight. It was cozy but not too hot for summer.

Beautiful material and comfortable fit
This dress was a little loose on me, but I liked the way it flowed. I got several compliments. Warning - From the pictures online, I thought that this dress was black, but it is actually a dark navy.

Nice cardigan, not too long
It's a nice sweater, though not as vibrant in coloring as the pictures would make you think.

Perfect spring colors. Low cut in the front. I wore a tight camisole underneath, which made it less distracting. It hits right at the waist

Too short waisted
I have a long torso, and this sweater doesn't hit much below the waist. I didn't like how if I raised my arms it would show my belly

I loved this sweater. If it weren't getting warmer in my area, I would probably purchase it. It has a beautiful color and a unique collar that helps it stand out from all the other greenish sweaters out there
