So-so dress
I wore this to work one time and felt like an old lady...there's something about the cut that wasn't flattering. Probably cute on a very petite person, but not good for me.

Mini-Dress - no good for work
I'm 5'8" and this dress was SO SHORT on me -- no way I could wear this to work. Disappointed.

This is a beautifully tailored dress
Lovely fit and pattern. Very pretty details around the neck and bust. I wore it twice to work and out to a dinner. Would definitely buy it!

Blue Floral Scarf Neck Dress
Derek Lam 10 Crosby x RTR
Size Worn: 46
Usual Size: 10

Nice detail, but the fabric catches dust and lint.
I like this coat, but the wool picks up EVERYTHING. It looked a little dingy already when I got it from RTR. A few people have said the belt falls off, but there are actually very subtle thread loops in waist which you can use to thread the belt. One thing: there is an RTR sticker on one side of the belt. If you flip the belt the wrong way, it's super obvious that you don't own the coat. My friend called me out on it because she thought I left the sales tag on it! It's a very pretty coat and classy, but I wouldn't buy it due to the fabric. It doesn't wear well over time, I don't think, and shows every hair, fleck of dust, fuzzball, etc.

Cute and fun, but hate the shoulder pads!
This is a cute color. I wore it with black ankle pants and flats for work. I am two-months postpartum and about 20 pounds over my normal weight and this shirt was forgiving and fun. The one thing I hated: the flimsy shoulder pads! I wish they were removable.

Cute and comfortable, but very high-waisted.
I am two months postpartum and about 20 pounds over my normal weight. This skirt is very forgiving and stylish. It is quite high-waisted, but stretchy. There is a slit on the left, but it's not inappropriate for work due to all the ruffles. I recommend it!

Black Ruffle Side Slit Skirt
Prabal Gurung x RTR
Size Worn: 12
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 8"
Weight: 168lbs
Bust: 36C
Very comfy and flattering.
The dress is a bit more casual (fabric-wise) than it looks in the photos. It's made of a stretchy material and fit really well through the bust, and has nice pleats around the baby bump. My only quibble is that it's quite short. I am 5'8" and the dress was definitely mid-thigh. I wore it with complete flat shoes and it worked out fine, but you certainly can't wear the dress with heels (or to work) if you run on the tall side. I wore it to quite a few things -- dinners, cocktail party, etc -- worked out great.

Super cute!
Very airy, and comfy to wear. The issue is that the slit in the neck (below where the two strings tie) is quite deep. It showed my bra, which is obviously not that pretty a bra since it's not my normal size and is an ugly maternity number. My husband asked if the dress was a bathing suit cover-up! Oh well -- I thought it was a lot cuter than a cover-up, but I would suggest only wearing with flats.

Pretty color, but runs way short!
I rented this to wear to a cathedral service at my daughter's school (with flats). It was a pretty dress, but rode up very high if I stood up straight with good posture! I am honestly embarrassed to share the photo. If you are taller than petite, I wouldn't rent this dress. Definitely for smaller/shorter ladies.
