Great everyday piece
Super comfortable, nice alternative to a denim jacket or sweater. Heavy twill-type material, so felt super high quality.

Considered buying
A great summery top. Considered buying, but it felt very trendy so was hesitant.

Awkward bust fit
The drawstrings around the bust felt weirdly placed, but generally a cute top for summer. Wouldn't buy due to the construction issues, but a decent rental.

Ciao Lucia

Super flattering
I'm usually between a 4-6 and the 6 was definitely the right call. Slightly snug, but I think that's also what makes it so flattering -- body-skimming, but the material is thick enough that the fabric doesn't cling in unflattering places. My favorite dress maybe ever (??), I'll probably buy it. Easy to throw on with sneakers, sandals, or heels. I did find it hard to layer a flattering sweater or jacket over it, so better for summer.

Oversized but that's the look
Super fun to wear -- could throw it on with nearly everything I'd wear a white t-shirt with, but this is obviously more unique. Oversized but not bulky. Lightweight for summer

Unique and comfortable
Wore to a wedding; great dress if you don't want to worry about bloating or fabric clinging to your body. I loved the way it looked. Straps were a bit too long, but I used fashion tape to temporarily alter them.

Easy to throw on
This was a great winter layer when I was sick of putting on sweaters. Nice and warm, if a tiny bit scratchy, if you're sensitive to that. Couldn't layer a sweater underneath, but you really didn't have to, given how warm it was -- it basically functioned as a sweater.

Thakoon x RTR

Cute but meh quality
Fuzzy and nice-looking, but the buttons felt incredibly loose. One fell off and I had to sew it back on myself. Pretty snug, but I probably should have ordered a 4.

LOVED!
So fun to wear either buttoned all the way up or open like a cardigan. Got lots of compliments. Super soft and easy to wear with jeans, nicer work pants, etc.

Fun basic
This was so warm, which I loved. Felt very high quality, too. A little snug for me, but nothing crazy, and I probably could have gone with a medium.

Considered buying these and may come back to them later, if they don't feel too trendy in a year or so.

Such a fun print
Very cute and unique print, but found the oversized cut to be unflattering on me. Would size down next time.

Color wasn't my favorite, but festive
I was picturing a different shade of red, but this was nice to throw on around the holidays for a pop of color either way. Wasn't tempted to buy.

DONNI.
Size Worn: S
Usual Size: 6

Loved, but couldn't justify the price
I've bought and worn lots of denim shirts, but a few things made this one stand out: the material (thick and substantial without being inflexible) and the cut (I loved that it was longer in the front and back so I could wear it for an oversized look, but the cut up the side kept it from clinging awkwardly to pants or just looking too big). Would buy, but can't justify the price.

Versatile and flattering
Nice to wear with a t-shirt underneath for a casual look or without a layer underneath for a slightly fancier vibe. Nice color. Would have bought it but the materials didn't seem to justify the price.

Would buy!
Loved this. Felt easy to dress up for a fancy dinner with nice boots or casual enough to run errands in sneakers. Flattering, comfortable, zipper was a little tricky but totally fine, just took a little extra time getting dressed.

Liked but didn’t love
I don’t own a trench coat and felt like this was a good way to try one out. Maybe I’m just not a trench coat girly! This was cute when buttoned and cinched at the waist with the tie but not warm or flattering otherwise. Still cute if you like a trench coat.

Cute and functional
This became my everyday bag while I had it. Big enough to fit everything I needed, except maybe a water bottle, but much more polished and secure (magnetic opening) than my standard canvas tote bag.

Pretty - fit was a bit tricky
The colors were beautiful and I got lots of compliments. The chest was quite tight (to the point I didn't need to wear a bra, which was a plus), but I found that the waist ran a little bigger, so the cutouts sagged a bit.

I found this ran large in the chest and was very long, despite ordering the regular length for my height.

Chic
Loved the way this looked, but agree with the reviews that the weight of the dress seems to drag it down and flip up the lining at the top. Would've needed fashion tape to fix that, I think.

Pretty dress
I didn't end up wearing it, but it was very pretty. Slight wrinkling when I received it, but it might have been fixed via steaming. I felt like the sleeves drooped on my arms quite a bit.
