A winner in winter - not for long torsos
Great piece - really well made and would be great for a wedding. Length of pants was good, but top was too short for a long torso... if I'd pulled it to the right height, I would have been fighting a camel situation... So no, I didn't attempt. It was also a little to heavy for Summer, but in all other ways it was a nice fit with plenty of style and would be fun to dress up for an event.

Breezy comfort
Loved the pattern and light weight material, as well as the open back. Great for hourglass figures - I have a small waist at 25" and bigger hips right now at 41" and this was a really flattering style. For me it was unfortunately too short, that was the only flaw. Would probably be the right length at my height with smaller hips. When I rented it, had been considering it for an event but ended up wearing it around for quick errands and changing out due to the length. Wish it came in long!

Great winter blazer
Loved the length for my long arms and torso (5'9") and the fit was true to size. material is subtly patterned, which was nice, and thick/heavy. Perfect for winter, but because of thickness made it hard to roll or scrunch up the sleeves when I got warm. In all, a very nice jacket that could be dressed up or down for work or weekend.

Standout red, flattering fit, compliments to the moon and back
The shape of the coat automatically gives it a lovely drape and nice fit, but it seems to run big on me. The quality of the material and the snap closures make it feel a little less nice, but the color and collar and wrap scale it back up and even that out. Having such an oversized collar is nice so you can pull it up around your neck a bit more, but it likes to stay with it's natural shape and falls back into place quickly. I've been wearing for two weeks and get compliments everywhere I go. It's fairly light weight, so a great Spring coat.

Easy, flattering fit
Black sweater wrap dress with details that make it stand out. I'm not big on lace or flowers, but liked both on this dress because of how subtle they were and how effectively it made the dress nicer. I wore daytime to work all the way through hosting an evening event of cocktails, theater, and more cocktails, and was so comfortable all day/night, I was happy I didn't have to think twice about what I was wearing. Long sleeves were a plus--I have long arms and they were just the right length.

Classic, but oh so pretty
Comfortable, flattering fit (hit just below my knees) and LOVED the color. So pretty, but still sophisticated. Was a little nervous about the front lace falling down as other women have commented. I used tape, and although I moved around a bit, it mostly stayed put. Lasted a 10-hour night very easily.

sophisticated edge
Love the black/white/gold combo and the shape, beautiful on, and add a little something to an otherwise Tuesday outfit. You have to pinch them a little to get them to stay, and check them a couple times during the day, nothing annoying. I enjoyed wearing them, and would have bought them, I'm pretty standard with jewerly and stick to cz and pearl studs most of the time, with only a couple other pairs mixing it up. I was temped to purchase.

Carry your world, with style
Lovely leather, nicely made, good style, and great interior pocket. It arrived in nearly new condition. Definitely more orange than I'd anticipated, but works well for Spring. The weight is what got to me so I ended up shipping back after one day... It is the perfect size to carry everything, but somehow a lot heavier than other bags of similar sizes.

Not too big, not too small, not too much style and definitely not boring. I liked them so much I purchased!

World in your arms, fashionably
It's everything you ever wanted in a tote. Deep enough for mary poppins, but you can still dig out your metro card thanks to the attached pouch. Leather is soft and plush, style is convertible with your wardrobe, it has a nice edge to it but is somehow still a fairly classic bag. If you have to carry an endless array of work/home with you, this bag will make it happen with a skip in your step.

Timeless
Gorgeous dress, gorgeous cut. I'm 5'9" and the heaviest I've been for a long time, so I thought I could get away with a larger size... wrong I was! It was beautiful, but at least 2 sizes too big around the waist and back, so back it went. I'm still waiting for smaller sizes to be available so I can reselect it for another event. If I could get this in the right size, I'd want to purchase it.

Simply classic
5'9" and at the heaviest I've weighed in years, I rented for an evening work event. The small was too tight in the bust, but just the right length, hitting just below my knees; the medium, which I wore, was still tight in the bust, but comfortable enough to get away with for 6 hours. It was longer than I thought was flattering (at least 2 inches lower than the small, which put it at a heavier part of my calves), so I debated skipping it altogether, but I did like the shape of the skirt once I ironed it, and the waist and top made it especially flattering... I received a number of great compliments throughout the night, and enjoyed wearing such a classic style and color. No pics, but it fit the bill, and unlike a lot of dresses, would have worked with either flats or heals.

Comfortable, light-weight, day-to-night wear, the trim at the bottom was a bit worn, but other than that, the dress fit well and looked great.
