Not well cut for the busty
I'm a size 14 or 16 — for example, my two favorite pairs of pants are Derek Lam 10 Crosby sailor pants in size 16, and Gap high-waisted wide-leg button-front jeans in size 14. My bra sie is 38DD. This shirt in size XL was too tight around my middle, while also being too low-cut on the boob area. Back it went.

The strap is too short
This bag is quite pretty. It did't have the classic bucket shape, however, as one side was pouching out -- instead of pinching inward -- due to having been previously used and shipped flat, I guess. Also, the strap was too short for me, at size 14 and 5'7". Back it went.

Didn't fit, sadly
These look cute enough. I wear a size 14 or 16 in most brands of pants, and these (in 33 R) didn't get past my thighs. Back they wenr.

Good cut
These were very comfortable, and flattering on me (a size 14 in an XL).

So-So.
The bag looks more boring and normal in person than it does online. I was in the mood for a moderm-looking berry-colored bag, but didn't really dig this. The pebble texture of the leather didn't help. Kind of mumsy.

Loved them, tho they got baggy
These are good jeans, with a little extra oomph. I liked them a lot, tho they were a bit too large and got baggier as the day went on.

Leather looked oddly plastic-y
Somehow the finish on this leather bag looked plastic-y, a very uniform, low-shine surface. The brown was less rich than in the photo. I never carried it.

Odd fit. Tree-trunk legs and a tight waist
I'm a size 14, and a 32 " inch waist usually works in pants and jeans, sometimes with room to spare. These were too tight around the waist, but the legs were oddly too wide from mid-thigh down, for that tree-trunk look. Didn't wear them.

A good elevated basic
Nicer than the average, boring turtleneck, with slightly blouson sleeves, a modern slouchy fit, and a bit of a pointelle airiness in the knit. Gigantic, however. I'm a size 14 and the small was still a bit too large -- even for a slouchy look.

Meh. Not particularly flattering
Slightly odd fit, with the front of the pant feeling slightly higher than the back ...? I didn't wear it.

Not a "cardigan" in any way
This is described as a "cardigan jacket," which implies it's a knit, a sweater. It's not. It's a sort of slightly rumpled crepe. Nothing special. Didn't wear it. Sleeves were also strangely long.

Perfect tomato red
I'd like to own this bag. Perfect orange-y red, a tomato red. Also love the size -- not to gigantic, not too small.

Like wearing a woolen blanket
Totally shapeless. The arms hung down six or seven inches below my fingertips. Not wearable.

Only average.
Just legging. Meh. The waist was a little low. It wasn't clear from the product description that only the front of these is the faux leather. The back is just a stretchy jersey-type legging. Didn't wear them.
