Cute
This was cute but not especially heavy and the oversized look allowed a lot of air to blow in.

Super warm coat guaranteed to draw attention. Whether they are perplexed (is it a bath robe?) or impressed, people will comment. Wore on a weekend trip and was stopped by several people while strolling through the market, at dinner, at bars. Very fun!

Love the print and fit of this dress, but the kick slit is right in the middle of the back and goes wayyy too high. My panties were literally showing while standing up! So, be prepared to wear a slip or some layer underneath.

Casual look with boots to wear to football game.
This thing is huge and really more of a beach cover up than a dress. Detailing and fabric are lovely, but not really flattering or appropriate away from the water. Since it was shipped to my vacation spot, and I had nothing else, I made it work.

I really love this quirky dress, but even as a 12, it ran small, and I couldn't squeeze into it.

My order was for a large, they sent me a small. That was not happening, though I did try it since it has an elastic waist.

Definitely short, buttonfly a bit stiff and inconvenient for sweaty 90 degrees and port-a-pottie conditions, but certainly achieved the fun look I was going for.

Sass and class
Wore this for a festival. The fabric is really heavy, and add the grommets, it has some weight! The grommets are of course empty in the center and the dress is unlined, so you will see a tiny bit of skin or undergarments through the holes. Flattering for pear shapes and stretchy enough to be forgiving in the tummy as well. Fun, interesting piece!

Mid week femininity
Wearing this to work was a risk since I work with decaying 500 year old books, but I did it anyway. The dress is also a bit short since the hem ruffle doesn't have lining behind it, so wearing my smock helped keep things a bit more work appropriate. The lace is gorgeous and you do have to be careful not to snag yourself on anything.

Pretty summer dress
The toggled ruching made my mom bod look really bad, so I left them down. A little long through the body for my short thick waist, but not a deal breaker with the print. Overall, a nice dress, but nothing that grabbed me as a must-have.

Bring your wing girl!
Jumpsuits can be hit or miss, but this one is a hit! The gorgeous forgiving fabric won't make you self conscious about your mom bod. I did wear a black strapless bra and aligned the hooks with the back closures, but the flowing design of the top would allow you to get away without one. The only drawback...you need to be double jointed to get into this thing alone. You will be invoking girl code or dragging your wing girl to the ladies room every time.

Unique look
This top runs small, but is still a good choice even if you are a little thick through the waist. The lining does end at the natural waist, so you might bare a little skin depending on the fit of you pants/skirt. It was a little over the top for work, but because I wear a sweater in our freezing office, it was ok. At the monthly gathering that evening, one friend said, "You always have the best clothes," and another said she was "obsessed" with the top. Definitely unique, memorable, and a standout piece!

Summer classic
I rented the pink version of this a few months ago. The retro ric-rac look and comfortable, forgiving cut make this a simple and non fussy choice for work, brunch, or winery hopping. Probably the only downfall is that the trim sometimes wants to fold and really needs starched to stay smooth.

Polo match winner
Paired with a big hat and enjoyed a very warm afternoon at the polo grounds. Light weight and airy fabric helped to keep cool. Since it's a wrap, the bust is always a concern. I could have gotten away without pinning it, but I aimed for a bit more conservative approach and pinned up a bit of the cleavage.

Sinatra at the winery
Rented this for an evening concert at a winery and was looking for a retro look. Very light and comfortable for being in the summer heat. The pattern gives a belted look at the waist without actually being tightly fitted. Slight gap at the buttons even though the dress wasn't tight across the bust. Not a big problem, but could merit a pin for some wearers.

Cinco de OhMy
Rented this festive number for Cinco brunch and it didn't disappoint. It's very loose and gappy up top, so I had to layer a black cami underneath. I also belted it so I had a bit more shape. Added black strappy heels and it was great!

Spring has arrived!
Received NWT in XL. Probably could have gotten away with the large, and would suggest sizing down if between sizes. Cotton fabric is stiff so stands out from body like a muumuu. Maybe after a cleaning, it will soften and relax the fit. Loved the blue, grey, purple, and olive pattern. Wore a grey jacket over it for work.

Midweek pop
It's too low-cut for work, so I wore a cami underneath. Otherwise, this is such a comfortable, flattering dress with fun unique details from ruching at the waist, lacing at the bodice, and the "twists" at the shoulders. Probably could have gone a size smaller, but the waist is always my concern. Plenty roomy, and may even be considered to run a bit large.

Same great jacket, different color!
I wear a 10-12 and this crop jacket is definitely barely fitting me, especially with a sweater. However, I had rented the grey version of this earlier in the fall and LOVED it! It is really warm with the faux fur lining, even for January in DC! Soft buttery leather, sassy zippers, and subtle stars.

Yee-haw!
I rented this for my vacation to Texas. The weather was unusually cold, so I ended up wearing it daily. So. Many. Compliments! The zipper is a bit stubborn, both up and down. And as others have mentioned, your hair can get caught in the sequins, but overall it wasn't bad. The stretch knit fabric on the the underside of the sleeves keeps you from catching on yourself. I was really, really tempted to keep this one, but it's so unique that it would be hard to wear repeatedly. Dress it down with jeans and boots, dress it up with a the Osman Ariel flare trousers or a jumpsuit.

This simple plaid flannel shirtdress steps ups the casual for work or lunch with friends. Side tie gives a bit of variation in the look without getting fussy. A bit tight across the chest, which led to some button gaps, but otherwise, it was great!

Unique and fun
The fabric does wrinkle when you sit, but it's not horrible. The button and double hook closure keeps the look clean and all the attention at bottom. I had so many compliments and positive comments on these. I wore them to a holiday party, a company party, and for touring the Riverwalk in San Antonio. Paired with the silver Waverly Grey Maddie top (parties) or the olive Amur green Nikki Blouse (vacation), and topped off with the sequin BCBGmaxazria Black Abel jacket, it was a total head turner!

Warm and cozy
I had hoped to wear this for family pictures, but it arrived late (holidays, it happens). It was definitely big, so I wouldn't have been able to wear it for the pictures anyway, as it wasn't a flattering look. But it was nice for a rainy, cold Texas day for general wear. I really love the diamond pattern, but the cuffs were very loose.

This warm jacket was incredibly comfortable, had pockets, and is so unique! I had compliments from the people on the train platform, the newspaper vendor, the housekeeping staff at work, and many friends. Paired it with a black dress, tights, and brown boots for date night, or with booties and cute jeans for day wear. Love, love, love this one!

Adored these jeans! Very comfortable and a fun ankle detail to set them apart. They are a bit more cropped, so pairing them with booties still exposed the detail. Add a cute sweater, (and throw on your favorite hockey jersey!) and you're all set!

The fabric has no give, and it is quite tight through the bust. The eyelet detail is lovely, and I wore a bra about the same color, so the see through holes at the top weren't a big deal.

This jacket is definitely lighter weight than I was expecting. It's also pretty long in the sleeves and generously cut overall. However, the fun sleeves and beautiful colors went well with my dress for a fun dinner out with sorority sisters.

Squeezing every drop of fun from the warm weather!
This was just a fun casual dress that happened to nicely match a fascinate that I’d recently purchased, so I put them together and spent a sunny Sunday afternoon at a winery with my husband. I need the 12 through the waist, but there wasn’t too much gap in the top with that size, which is always a concern for me. Light and comfortable, very easy going piece that can be dressed up or left alone depending on where you are heading!

Comfort with class
This fabric has a lot of stretch, which makes it forgiving for my tummy, though it does show your shape. There are no zippers or closures of any type, so it’s easy to get on and off. It’s a bit long on me (5’6”) and actually hit a bit below the knee, which was fine as it was a cool October evening dining al fresco. The fabric is thick, so it’s an ideal early fall dress that can handle warm days and cool evenings. Lovely dress!
