Perfect holiday top!

Wore this to my husband's holiday party -- easy to dress up or dress down! Perfect if you don't want to be super flashy but still festive

Loved

Perfect fit! Plus, it was both comfortable and sexy. What more could you want in a "going out top"? A few other reviewers mentioned it was very cropped and that's true: I had to wear my highest waisted jeans to avoid showing any mid-drift. Pair those jeans with a belt and cowboy boots, and you've got yourself an elevated country look.

cute and very cropped

I'm very much and jeans and tshirt kind of girl so I had to get used to the poofy arms and shoulders but was overall comfortable and kept me warm and still felt casual, can dress it up more with a skirt.

Soft & Stretchy

I wore this on a girls weekend to look cute but not too sexy. We went line dancing and it stayed in place nicely. It’s a little cropped and has rouching down the center that can be adjusted to make it more cropped. Comfy and not too hot.

Classy!

I wore this to formal dinner event and it was perfect! the fit was great for my athletic build and made me feel classy and elegant! One thing to note it that you'll probably have to wear a strapless bra!

Versatile and flattering top

I think this too could be dressed up or down and be an option for a variety of outings. The shoulders were slightly big on me and so fell off the shoulder quite a bit - I didn’t mind that look though. Body fit perfectly and almost looked like I had a bodysuit on when it wasn’t.

The Essential Top

On the shoulder vs off the shoulder? Dress up vs dress down? Jacket vs alone? THIS TOP DOES IT ALL! It's comfy, flattering, and looks good with everything! My only regret was sending this top back to RTR... but then again, I think it's time for dry clean (def got my use out of this everyday top!)

Nicely made and soft

I liked this one a lot, it was very soft and stretchy so wasn’t as comfortable to go braless for long periods of time so could’ve been a little more form fitting but other than that, super cute!

Beautiful top

This velvet top is beautiful but the sleeves would slide off my shoulders on occasion but sizing down would be too tight. I usually was able to find a spot that would stay for a bit.

I did like this top, but it kept falling off my shoulders! I wore a couple times once for a date and once underneath a sweater.

Great going out / date night too

Definitely can get away without wearing a bra. Sleeves mostly stayed up and it fit really well. Love the fabric too. My only complaint is the armpit area felt a little taught

But the other reviews are right, it does fall off the shoulder and tends to ride up the stomach area.. but hey, that works for date night right??

Paired this top with black leather pants for a birthday party and it was perfect! Definitely cropped so be sure to factor that in when picking out pants to wear, but the neckline and overall fit was fabulous.

Tight in the armpits, shorter than expected, but cute!

I didn't expect this top to be a problem for my thick/muscular shoulders, since so many reviewers commented on the loose sleeves slipping down. But the seam around the bust and under the armpits is actually quite tight and not stretchy at all. So I can barely, barely get this on. (I actually had to step into it and pull it up!) Once I do it's super cute! It's much shorter than I realized, 1-2" above my navel.

So cute, but annoying sleeves!

This top was very very flattering, and so cute! It is definitely short, but with high enough pants, only a little of my belly showed. The sleeves fell off my shoulder a lot, and the tulle/crinoline in the shoulders for the “puffy” look is a little itchy. Still such a fun top!

Weird fit

Cute top, but the shoulders would not stay up. Would have worked better as an off shoulder top, but that was not what I was looking for...was hoping it fit more like it does on the model. Did not wear.

Not what I was expecting

This shirt was an immediate return and not wear. It had glitter on it- I was not expecting that. The shoulders didn’t stay up, they were too large and draped down. The armpit area was tight. Then it ended up being a belly shirt and not at all something that I could wear to work.

Not flattering

I’m only comfortable in some crop tops and I think I tend to lean toward the boxy ones. I have a large bust, smallish waist, and large hips and there was no way of pairing or wearing for this top. One of those that makes you feel bad about your body after it’s been on. Not for me!
