Amazing color, but runs short
Gorgeous color, but the sleeves and overall length ran way too short for my frame.

Pretty colors, very warm
Liked this a lot and would rent again, although it was a bit warm, so I’d probably wear it again in cooler weather.

Cute style, but runs small
Wanted to love this, but it runs small and is cut for someone several inches shorter than my frame.

Runs large and short
Loved the print, but ran too big and too short for my frame. Didn’t end up wearing it.

Liked the fit, not the color
Really liked the fit of this - it was form fitting, but still felt office appropriate. I’d definitely rent it again, but brown isn’t really my color.

Not for long torsos
I was concerned about the neckline based on other reviews, but I really liked the asymmetric neckline. The pattern on the fabric was great too. Only complaint was that my torso was a bit too long for the cut of the dress - the ruching on one side hit 3-4 inches higher on me than it should’ve, making my midsection look larger than it is.

More casual than expected
I had hoped to wear this to work, but that came across as much more casual in-person than I expected. Ultimately didn’t wear it.

Good basic, but maybe not if you’re long-waisted
Nice dress, received compliments, but one of the lines of white stitching ran across my chest little higher than I thought looked right - may just be an issue for me because I’m long-waisted.

Overall, these were just okay
Because I'm pear shaped, I usually have issues with the waist fitting too loosely of pants fit in the hips, so tend to choose pants with belt loops, which these pants don't have. That said, these fit okay. The fabric feels soft and was surprisingly comfortable through the workday. There's a fun vent/slit on the backside of the hems, which added something special that I hadn't noticed in photos. I wouldn't buy them, but they were a nice change from my usual basics.

Cute, bright jacket
The colors in this liven up your basics! Fit true to size, although I thought it had some hook-and-eye closures. My mistake, it doesn't, but be aware of that if it's important to you. Regardless, it still laid well and looked nice with black pants and a black top.

Versatile blazer
I wore this more than once: with navy, with black and with brown - the colors in the tweed make it easy to mix-and-match. Fit TTS. Seriously considered buying it.

Very warm sweater dress
I wore this with a blazer for a work event, and it was a fine basic. The dress is quite warm, and the a-line skirt was kind of fun.

Such a cute skirt!
This was a little out of my comfort zone, but I loved this skirt - seriously considered buying it. Fit TTS.

Gorgeous dress, but more bodycon than expected
This fit like a glove, but not in the way I'd want to wear to work, and on the edge of what I'd be willing to wear on a night out. For someone less curvy, that may not be an issue, but I ultimately didn't feel comfortable wearing this out.

Cute pants
Fit exactly as expected. Super cute pants, but if you're on the edge size-wise be aware that the fabric has zero stretch.
