Cozy
It was long because I’m short and a bit bigger than expected, but cozy and I liked the small embroidery a lot.

Love these! But size down!
I loved the look of these pants but they ran large. For shirt girls (I am 5'1") the cropped look ran pretty close to my ankles, so the length was perfect for work trousers. I paired it with a Jcrew white blouse and it was such a comfortable outfit!

All about the sleeves!
This dress reminded me of dresses my Barbies as a kid would wear! I got so many compliments when I wore this dress. I loved it, so comfy and the statement sleeves did not get in the way of working at a desk or computer for most of the day!

The fit was boxy, but if you like that look for sweaters, this is for you!
It was soft but I felt like it had no shape. The front is shorter than the back, so I could do the "french tuck" to give it shape because it kept coming untucked on me. I did really like the neckline and patterns on the sweater to take a different vibe to your traditional white

Sleeves were too long and the tie in the front kept coming undone
the top of this dress fit so different than the bottom. the cuts were not flattering for me around the shoulders, arms and armpits. I liked the color but that is about it.

Comfy, flattering and warm
The velvet kept me warm with the changing temperatures without feeling like I needed tights to stay warm! The faux wrap is very flattering and all over velvet made it a unique work outfit.

Fun colors for work
This ran big but nothing a thin belt couldn't help with. I would size down in the future. The colors are a fun transition to fall with bright orange flowers with the bold blue background. I would rent again, just a bit smaller next time!

Surprisingly Metallic - runs large on the top
I was going to wear this to work, but the metallic fabric didn't make it appropriate. I didn't realize it was metallic! The top of the dress ran too large making the boat neck and arms section look bad. I wish the more form fitting portion of the skirt portion ran a bit more of this dress with just the neck line a little flimsy. I liked it in theory but it looked surprisingly atrocious on me.

Short, even for short girls!
I was hoping for a unique dress to wear into work. As I am a short girl at 5'1" usually i can get away with shortER dresses (as they don't look short on me). This was not the case with this one! It also runs small for 18W! I am usually an 18R or 16W. The 18W was too tight on me! I recommend sizing up at least 1 size for sure!

Very small waist but weirdly baggy around the hips
I was really depressed with these pants as they looked unique and cute on the model. However, I am 5'1 and wasn't expecting the cropped look, and for once the length was fine! BUT - the waist of the pants literally went up to right under my bra, and left the hips and crotch area weirdly very baggy. Somehow the pants managed to run small and large at the same time in certain areas of the cut. I've never had a pair of pants look like this on me, so I felt it was very odd.

Surprisingly loved them!
I am short (5'1") so the length of these hit me perfectly as trousers. The brighter colors gave a fun flare as we go into the fall season. I paired these with a pale pink blouse and my pale pink Rothy's. The fabric has no give but it felt true to size. I got so many compliments and liked these more than I expected I would!

Cool fabric combos, but runs large, and very long for short girls!
I loved the combination of the fabrics and received many compliments. Very light and airy. However, this ran very large... usually I size up for a little bit of wiggle room, but this was VERY gapey... meaning even wearing my normal size there would be plenty of comfort. DON'T SIZE UP! I am 5'1" and even wearing 5 inch heels this was dragging on the ground, so short girls beware!

Great Easter dress
Received many compliments! I almost always have to size up in dresses because of my apple shape here. Sizing up wasn't necessary but also didn't look overly large. I managed to get by with just a few safety pins. This dress is constructed so well! Sturdy material. The "swish sound" isn't as loud as I expected. Many compliments! Yellow usually washes my skin done out! But not this beautiful marigold! I would recommend 100%

Didn't need to size up
Usually I need to size up, but I did and this dress was massive on me. Thank goodness for the belt

Love!!! So many compliments
These are so comfortable and surprisingly goes with so many things. Seriously contemplating buying them since I love them so much. I'm short so I wasn't sure how the length would be but it's been perfect with flats or with heels for me. I've worn them to work and out with friends. Could be a great pop of color for spring, or look great as a formal look or even Christmas!

Runs wayyy small
This is such a gorgeous dress but I am typically an XL, ordered the XXL to size up and it literally almost got stuck. Very sad. Issue is around the rib cage

A little big, but fun patterned flare
It ran a bit big, but this was very versatile. I wore it casually during the day, dressed it up with heels for work, and wore it underneath a suit blazer for work! I loved the green color and the pattern.

Many compliments, but was a bit too long on me. The dress hit closer mid-calf in the back on me.

No give and way too tight
Absolutely no give in the fabric. It felt more like a small 14 rather than my normal 16. Way too tight

Unbelievably gorgeous
This dress was so perfect. It was modest with a touch of sexiness with the open lower back. Very comfortable and not that heavy to wear. I'm sort (5'1") but the length worked well with heels that I wasn't tripping.
