Lightweight and runs HUGE
Cool jacket, but it runs so large that you should size down at least 2 sizes. It is also very lightweight. Not good for winter.

NSFW!
Pretty fabric and great fit everywhere, except the bust. I ordered a 38, weigh about 140 @ 5'7, with 32 DDD bust. It was so tight over the bust that I couldn't even pull the fabric together to try to pin it. The waist has no give but really holds you in!

Fun. graphic print
I thought that this dress ran a little big. I think that i could have actually fit into the small. But it was a fun work dress. I got a compliment in the elevator from a stranger!

Cool graphic dress for work
This dress is very comfortable and easy to wear. I love the graphic print. I think that it runs large. I am about 145 lbs and definitely thought that the size 44 was large. I maybe could have gone down 2 sizes! Still cute enough for the office, if oversized.

A shirt that adds 20 pounds...
This shirt is no good for a large, natural (read: I breastfed 3 kids) bust. The cut out lace panel revealed the most unflattering, crooked cleavage that I couldn't even recognize as my own. It smooshed my boobs together at the top, leaving a weird, scandalous gap between the fabric and my upper stomach, beneath a seemingly flesh shelf. The peplum flare then added 20 pounds. I swear. I weigh 145 lbs and have a 32 DDD bust. The size 6 zipped up fine, but with extra room at my natural waist. I think that this would fit better on someone without a significant waist to bust ratio. And size down, if between sizes.

Show-stopper, must rent!!
This is the second time I've rented this skirt and probably won't be the last! It is light and breathable. I felt like a million bucks. I wore it with a cream fitted Theory shirt, nude heels, and gold and turquoise pendent necklace. The coolest outfit ever.

Sophisticated and sleek
This gorgeous skirt is one of my favorite rentals! It fits true to size and is high-waisted. It is so flattering and the fabric feels lux. I highly recommend.

Fun work dress
I liked this dress. Easy to wear and comfortable. Nice cap sleeve detail. It does show every flaw, however; spanx would have given me a smoother line. I thought that this ran a bit large.

This was very roomy and comfortable. I liked it better tucked in, but it was still cute untucked. I suggest sizing down if between sizes.

I adored this beautiful jumpsuit. It is so slimming and flattering, but it was definitely a bit snug. I loved it though. Even admits fears that I might not be able to zip it back up after using the restroom. Totally worth it though!

Amazing pop of color and a great crop top!
I love this shirt! I might buy it yet. It was such a flattering crop with high waisted jeans. I wore it to my "surprise" 40th birthday party and then on vacation to Key West with white jeans. Love it!

So colorful and comfortable!
I love this dress! I wore it without a bra and I've never felt more comfortable for a night out in Key West! If I traveled more often I would definitely buy this dress. I might still! It runs large, so size down if in between.

I loved this dress! And it has pockets! So cute! This dress runs a bit large so I would size down if in between sizes.

This runs so small. The size 8 barely fit. It would have been better in a size 10 for me.

The perfect tunic blouse
This shirt is so versatile! I loved the color and fit. It looks great with a French tuck and jeans, and just as well with cropped black slacks and patent jimmy choos for work. The fit is consistent with the brand. Rent this shirt!

These pants have a lot of stretch and are super flattering. They were the perfect length for someone 5'7". Will rent again, maybe a size down.

I wanted this to work so badly but the fit was off. This isn't the shirt for anyone with a large bust. It kinda puffs out away from the body instead of laying flat in the front.

Cute work pants
These are very cropped, super thin material, and run small for a Theory size 6. I got them new with tags on!! I wish that I could have worn them but they were too tight and probably a bit out of season.

Great statement dress
This runs small in the chest. I ordered this first in a 6, which was too small in the chest to zip up, and now an 8, which did fit. However, I felt like there was just too much material in the size 8 to be comfortable. Also this was a little bit too loud for my office. But I love the print. It almost has a rayon feel to it, so it may be better for spring and summer.

Bulky leather jacket
This fit snug but not too snug that I couldn't zip it up. That being said, I would have sized up to a large to wear it zipped closed as a true jacket instead of statement piece. I have a large bust, however. It had a very pronounced chemical odor that never fully aired out.

Love this blouse! I have a large bust and had no trouble buttoning this shirt. I am usually between 6-10. But the 6 fit perfectly.

Great blouse for tucking in. Otherwise I found the torso to be a bit short to wear untucked.

At the least the sleeves are interesting
The material was thin and the tie in the back is a bit casual for work. I got bored with the dress before I had an opportunity to wear it to the office. This would be better in early spring or fall.

Great saturated orange pop of color!
The fit is true to size. Identical to Theory 6 and DVF 6 in pants. The material is somewhat stiff but hides imperfections notwithstanding the body hugging cut if the pants. These would be great with a tunic shirt.

They run a little small. They have a button fly, which I wasn't expecting.
