Unforgiving waist, but otherwise flattering
The waist was just a little too snug on me to be comfortable. Should be fine if you have an average or slim waist, though. Otherwise, it was surprisingly flattering, even for someone petite. High quality, thick material.

Easy glamour
I felt so comfortable, cool, and glamorous in this dress. It's short, so great if you're petite. I wore a strapless bra with it. Perfect for a summer evening special occasion. Loved the color, which worked well for olive skin.

Lots of compliments
My best friend said this was her favorite shirt I've ever worn! It was very loose, with a very deep V neckline, so you need a plunge bra. The print was very flattering, and the material is high quality. Size down if you're unsure.

Surprisingly flattering style
This shirt really wowed me when I tried it on in the store—I wouldn't have chosen it just from seeing the photo online. It's such a pretty, flattering cut. I wore the medium because that's what was available, but I think my usual small would have been a bit better. The color is less blush and more beige in person.

A more interesting white button-down
This shirt was just ok on me, but very high quality. The fabric is really nice, and the cuffs and black buttons make it more interesting than a typical button down.

Surprisingly lovely
I wouldn't have chosen this shirt from the site, but tried it on in the showroom and loved it. It has such a nice structure, and it even works on a petite frame. I wore the large because that's what was available. I think a medium would have been just right. I normally wear a small, so it seems like it runs small.

A touch of glam
I loved this shimmery top. It worked for work, paired with jeans and a belted burgundy jacket. I wore the medium because that's what was available in the showroom. The medium worked fine, but I think my usual small would have been just right. It's a bit scratchy.

Snug in the hips
Not great for a pear shape, but the color and style are very pretty. I couldnt wear it because it was too snug in the hips.

Nice print, long sleeves
I'm 5'2" and found the sleeves to be too long to wear. The print, style, and material are otherwise really nice, though. Might try sizing down.

Low cut, nice print
This is cut lower than most Equipment tops--it feels like it's missing a button. Needs a camisole underneath. The print is nice for spring.

Prettier in person
The print is lovely in person. Size down, as it runs big. It's loose and flowing. I found it to be flattering and comfortable for a pear shape.

Very warm and stylish
A surprisingly thick, warm sweater (even with the cutout shoulders), yet very stylish. It's a great color too, and garnered compliments. It was slightly big. I could have sized down, but the small worked fine.

Unique print
Loved this in person. The print and details are really unique. Got several compliments in it. The fit was great too. I was even able to wear the sleeves buttoned (usually have to roll them up as I'm 5'2").

Perfect fit and comfy stretch
The most comfortable blazer ever. I'm petite (5'2"), and it fits perfectly. Even the sleeves are the right length. The material is more casual than a typical blazer. Highly recommended.

Gorgeous color, great for winter parties
The long sleeves work so well for winter gatherings. The sleeves fit me fine, even though I'm short. A strapless bra is ideal because of the lacy shoulders.

This jacket was really fun to wear. I treated it like a shirt and wore it day and night on the weekend. The white fabric is also really soft and easy to wipe clean.

Great bag, not in great condition
This bag is lightweight and a rich color. It even fit my 13-inch laptop (snugly). Really easy to wear and great for work. Unfortunately this one arrived in poor condition. It had some light spots and looked very used.

Very classy and perfect for work. I couldn't zip it around the hips, but enjoyed wearing it anyways. Next time I'd get a 4 instead.

Glamorous and versatile, but runs large
I was able to wear this over pants and on its own, as a dress. The wrap, asymmetrical style is really unique and flattering. I normally wear a small, but the XS was still very loose. Definitely size down. It also doesn't really fasten (besides the belt), so you might need a shirt underneath if you're moving around a lot.

Looks sharp. Perfect for work.
The gold framing makes this bag unique. A friend described it as a nod to a briefcase, and it's the perfect size for work. I was able to fit a laptop in it. The two lengths of straps also make it versatile. Really high-quality and striking. I didn't want to send it back!

Versatile and flattering, but size up!
This dress is high-quality and very flattering, and the vibrant color is perfect for olive skin. It's great for work and many different occasions. I loved it and would rent again, but I'll definitely size up next time. It was really snug all around, but especially in the waist.

Flattering, comfortable, and unique
I wore this to a daytime graduation and then an evening celebration. It was so comfortable and flattering, perfect for the long day. I received a lot of compliments and would definitely rent again. Also, it has great lining, and the white isn't see-through at all.

Gorgeous, comfortable, flattering dress. Also, pockets!
This dress is incredibly flattering and comfortable. Perfect for a formal occasion. I wore it to a gala and received many compliments. Only downside is that the waist is quite narrow. Looks great with black heels.

I wore this dress to the ballet and received many compliments. It's absolutely beautiful in person.
This dress is both glamorous and comfortable. Really easy to wear. Since I'm short, the back trailed on the floor, but that still works as long as you're careful.

This was too small for me, so I wasn't able to wear it.
I should have ordered the small, but I'm not sure that would have worked. The XS was too small, but the top gaped quite a bit. The material and pattern were really nice, though.
