Warm without weight
Can’t say I love this coat but I like it a lot. Coat is warm, looks bulky, but is lightweight. Sort of like a big oversized sweater coat. I do love the shawl collar; it feels great around my neck. Paired with boots and a bright red scarf it’s perfect for a holiday look! I’m 5’3”. Think it runs large. I’d downsize but wasn’t available at the time. Hits just below my knee so good length for many of my dresses. Would consider buying in smaller size but too expensive now. So I’ll stick with renting.

Long & trendy
This coat runs large so downsized to a M and it is perfect. This coat has personality. The fabric is heavy with bold buttons and the color goes with everything. Not a cold weather coat but a comfortable top coat for fall-type temperatures. It is long. Great with jeans & boots. Or stylish skirt.

Another disappointment
The dress is nicely made and looks great on the hanger. The detail and fabric are quality. Fit tight across my bust and looked more like a maternity dress on me. I did not wear. If I was 4 sizes smaller think it would be gorgeous.

Disappointing
Fit was fine but not what I expected. I didn't like the rough feel of the fabric and the doily-like overlay. Looked matronly.

Dash of color
Great fit and look. The fine gauge knit is soft and not itchy. Loved the rainbow of colors in the pleats.

A beautiful tent
The color, fabric, and feel were great but the skirt was way too long. I didn't wear and returned.

Great weight for mild winter
A roomy fit but great for layering. The color & fabric is rich. A great coat for short walks or going between car/ parking lot to the inside. But it is not wool so I wouldn't recommend for waiting at the bus stop or hanging outside in blustery winter weather.

Not for me
The dress was uncomfortably tight & hugged in all the wrong places. I didn't wear it.

Some clothes just make you confident
True to size & nicely hugs all the right curves. The neckline plunge is a little deep for my comfort in the office but a nicely positioned camisole took the edge off the neckline. The fabric has a nice weight for winter. Long sleeves are a plus.

How cute
The dress gives my wardrobe a real splash of color (since you can always find me in muted shades) and I love it. The fabric is light but not sheer. It's a little short in length but with tights it can work for in the office. The long sleeves and mock neck give it a fresh appeal. Easily goes from office to evening.

Perfect hug
The dress hugs all the right places, the fabric feels good on my skin, and provides a great professional pick me up in my wardrobe with the side ruffle. The v neck is a little too deep for my taste but a carefully placed safety pin makes it just right.
