A nice, neutral and silvery gray with clever sleeve contrast. Simple and elegant.
Such a lovely knit and fabric. Low cut and therefore emphasizes the chest. Sleeves run long, so I folded them slightly which worked fine because the sleeve fabric contrast still showed nicely.

Could not wear these.
These jeans were absolutely not for me. If you are tall, with legs that go for days, and are on the thinner side, then these might look super on you. The rise is also high, so keep that in mind if you are shortwaisted.

Wonderful with jeans or a long black skirt, perfect for a dinner out.
This is a true medium, running toward the snug side and slightly cropped. I absolutely LOVED this piece -- warm, unique and so well made. The "black" is more of a charcoal, and the "green" runs slightly toward aqua. Elegant, and one of the nicest sweaters I have rented.

Lovely fabric but cut is unflattering.
This is a fun coat, but looked super boxy on me and therefore was unflattering. It was warm so I did wear it several times. Runs especially large in the chest and shoulders.

This style would likely work well for many body types.
Other reviews suggested that this ran generously, but unfortunately not for me. Wish that a larger size had been available -- this is such a pretty dress with lovely embroidery. The fabric has a nice weight and the skirt falls beautifully.

As pretty as it was, I could not wear this.
As others have noted, this runs particularly small. I'd suggest going up two sizes -- not just one. I wish I could have worn it to the reception I had rented it for.

Just huge!
I am 36 C and unwearable as I was swimming in it. If I were to re-order, I would select a small. Honestly, not an especially interesting garment unless you are particularly into tans or neutrals.

Will want to rent again and explore other Ulla Johnson creations-- what a talented designer!
Loved this snug, form fitting top. Colors were vibrant; fabric fine with a nice finish to it. Could dress this up or down, depending on bottom you choose as well as jacket, vest, or blazer.

Colors were more muted than how they appear in the photo
I liked this top, but it ran small so I turned it back. Will probably rent again in an XL. I normally wear 8-10 in tops.

Nice casual top that pairs well with jeans.
As others suggested, size up. The fit is quite fitted, which I like, but note the midsection is where it is the most snug. I usually wear a 8-10 in tops, and the large definitely was the way to go. Nice solid fabric. The vibe was fun; ruffles at shoulder added some pizzaz.
