Size down. WAY down.
I took other reviewers’ advice and sized down a size with these. For reference, I am a very predictable 26 in most brands- AYR, Levi’s, Madewell, etc. I went with a 25 in these. They are still massive- like, swimming in them! Inseam is also very long. They are also more of an acid wash than can be appreciated in the photo. I would recommend going two sizes below your normal size if you rent these!

I put this on and burst out laughing. I looked like a victorian ghost child wearing my older sister's hand-me-downs that didn't quite fit yet.....

Gorgeous
Pictures do not do this dress justice-- it is stunning and so flattering. I wore to a black tie wedding and received lots of compliments. I am petite and somehow this gave me cleavage!

Beautiful, but large/ long straps!
If you are small chested or small framed around your shoulders, this likely will be WAY too long/ large on you! It is a gorgeous gown!

Err on Sizing Down
I ordered these in a 26 as my normal 25 was unavailable. I've never worn Good American before and figured I could get away with a looser fit since these jeans are designed to be baggy anyhow -but these were HUGE! I'd probably recommend sizing down from your normal size, especially if you are used to rigid denim. These have some stretch. The denim was high quality and nice and thick, I may try them in a different size next month if available.

Super Large!
For reference: I wear a 24 in Madewell, 25 in Everlane, and 26 in Mother for Jeans. I'd say overall, I am a 25 in most brands. I took the advice of other reviewers and ordered a 24 in these-- they were still gaping at the waist and I looked like I was swimming in them. I'd recommend sizing down two sizes from normal. There is some softness/ stretch to the fabric that would make it forgiving if they were a tad tight!

Thin but cute
This leather coat is quite thin. Good for spring/ fall. Looks cute with dresses or mom jeans.

Swallows you if you’re smaller
I feel like this dress would look great on a Taylor swift-esque body but for those of us under 5’6- this will swallow you in fabric. Less hip, more FLDS.

Great Fall Sweater
Chunky cotton knit makes this a great fall sweater for cool but not cold days. I dug the mid 90's vibe of the chunky stripes. The sweater drapes well and is super comfy.

Basic straight leg jean
I followed advice and sized up to a 27 on these (right now I am generally a 25 or 26 depending on brand), however they were huge-- sagging in crotch, gaping in waist. Definitely could have rocked a 26 for a relaxed fit or likely even a 25.

Great for smaller chested women
This dress is vibrant, super comfortable, and unique. I have a petite upper body and short torso and this worked really well for me, although I did have to shorten the straps with safety pins as they were too long. The peplum makes me look pregnant in the photo above but I felt like in person the dress was super flattering and perfect for a late summer wedding in Austin!

Nice take on an LBD
This dress has a great fit and is perfect for those of us with small chests and short torsos as it has ADJUSTABLE STRAPS :D. It wasn't really my style, but I did get compliments while wearing it. The length makes the risqué back and cut outs still appear classy.

Class act dress for a winter wedding
I received tons of compliments on this dress throughout the evening. It was super flattering and comfortable to wear. The back is low, so nubra/ pasties/ etc are required-- this is something I didn't realize before ordering it, but wasn't a big deal as I'm small chested. I love how the dress is form fitting, but doesn't have a proper waist per se, so it would likely fit a variety of body types perfectly!

Nice for Conservative Events
I received a lot of compliments on this dress, though I personally didn't feel like it was the most flattering on me. I had to wear a relatively big padded bra to fill out the top. Of note, this dress is FULLY LINED-- even the sleeves!! This made it feel a bit more substantial/ bulky.
