Comfy but structured
Small fit comfortably loosely on my 27" waist but fell neatly down my hips. Denim that's just the right flowy vs stiff for this cut. Well made garment.

Quality construction
The funky asymmetrical shape when the halter is untied really comes together neatly when tied. Creates a pretty, 'random drape but just so,' sort of neckline. Love the full coverage front contrasted with the totally open back, sexy but classy. I am ~35" bust, ~26" waist and the small sat nicely on me , not tight but snug enough for the back to stay up most of the time. I found it drooping/needing to be tugged back up very rarely.

Great for walking in 50F weather
This kept me warm on a chilly breezy NYC spring day, and fit well in terms of sleeve length and lower hem fitted-ness (yay for the elastic there helping to keep it in place despite the overall oversize shape.) Was not TOO warm thanks to being oversized. Hangs well on, isn't just floppy/messy, but a well structured oversize. I'm 35-26-36 and the 36 was good, 34 would be good too I think.

Sexy AND comfy
At 35-26-36 with relatively small chest (34B) I miiiight consider an extra small too for easier chest coverage, as in less dependence on double sided tape, but this was totally wearable and flattering as is.

Rethinking my perspective that non-leather bags are never worth a designer price. The construction on this is great, it feels nice, looks neat, sits beautifully. Love the size.

40 was a touch big on my frame, but still sat beautifully and was flattering. The perfect coat for cool spring days/evenings, 50-65F. Will undoubtedly aim to buy this if the price drops a bit...maybe earlier, it is that good.

Runs a bit small compared to other Joe's stuff
I have some Joe's shorts that are a 27, originally made to be fitted, but are pretty loose. Figured I'd size down in these so they wouldn't be TOO baggy, but that was a mistake. On my 26-27" waist these were way too tight to wear comfortably.

Runs a touch big but tolerably so, for me (27" waist, 35" hips) they just sat a little lower on my waist. Would buy on a good sale.

Just ok, mesh is a weird feel
Mesh top is just kind of a tough thing to pull off. Feels/looks sort of...high maintenance princessy? Can't quite put my finger on it but this just feels very manicured. Like the costume version of a sofa that no one ever sits on.

Good fit, not my fave slouchy jeans ever
Worth a rewear though. I think the best slouchy jeans are somehow structured to hang in a flattering way, but are also very soft and comfy - these are still pretty stiff denim. That's a small point against them though. 4.5 stars if I could. Fit well on my 27" waist, 35" hips.

Too baggy for me, didn't wear
This was oversized in an awkward way, like not just the chest waist, but the shoulders and arm length were better suited to my 6'2" 190lb husband. Size down and only get it if you want a way oversized thing. I also neglected to notice the bow embroidery in the online pics/description. Little bit too cutesy for me but that's just me.

Almost perfect, would rent again or buy on sale
Would look a little cuter and fuller if I had steamed it or refreshed it with a little dryer tumble, but doesn't come out of the bag so wrinkled that you cant wear it. Fit was pretty good - the adjustable neck is clutch. I wish the waist had a little stretch or a couple snap width options - the 2 was just a teeeeny bit big such that I had to do the typical scoot it back up adjustment occasionally.

Really cute construction and good fit
Well made, unique and cute with the large lace and ties. Minor downside, this is mainly a weekend day wear sort of thing. I think it could be dressed up with the right nice top for a night out, but because it's both mostly long and cottony, it feels casual. Because the one lace/ties portion cuts so high, it's not really office work wear either. Definitely very cute for a day out though!

Size dowwwn...
I am 5'5", 125-130lb, with a 26" waist. I mostly wear 2-4, occasionally 0 in lines with heavy vanity sizing, and a 6 in formal sizing, ie bridal. The 4 in these quite literally fell off my hips. I picked them up and was surprised when the label really said 4, I thought for sure I'd been sent a 14 by accident or something. Hugely disappointing because they feel NICE. Heavy, yet smooth and soft, non-wrinkly linen.

Pretty! And almost perfectly practical
Loved the fit and look of these pants. The bow you tie at the waist tends to loosen and fall apart with time and movement. Fixable but a tiny bit annoying. Otherwise a perfect garment.

too short!
At just 5'5", I am too tall for this. It fit fine across my waist/hips/chest. But it tries to give me a wedgie in terms of length, which made me put it back in the bag.

Perfect, high quality relaxed suiting item
High quality, good cut and fabric, very professional. Comfortable wearing all day. Would buy this one when it goes on sale. My measurements are 26 waist, 34 hips. I wore this in a 40 but it was loose enough that a 38 would work well too.

Unflattering top half
I LOVE all things Ramy Brook: they're comfy yet cute, often easy to dress up or down. So I was actually surprised to find that this was not particularly attractive on me. I think it's the shoulder/sleeve cut - very single large ruffle, making me look kinda top heavy.

Too snug, runs small
I want to say this is actually true to size where so many other brands run big, with vanity sizing. But I think majority rules now for the sake of useful assessment. This is sized more like couture or a wedding gown. My measurements are about 35 overbust, 26 waist 34 hips and I couldn't zip this over my ribcage.

More matronly than most MISA stuff
I hoped the bias cut would make this more cute, and most MISA dresses give me a really cinched curvy look. This one wasn't bad but I wouldn't buy. It isn't necessarily a bigger/looser cut than other MISA pieces, it just isn't as flattering of a cut I guess.

The inside is lined in the darker croissant color, giving the blue of the sweater a slight shadowy effect. The fit is relaxed. XS fit me (35/26/34) loosely but not super slouchy.

Cinched the waist with a belt, otherwise it was a touch more shapeless than I like. Size 0 might have hung better on my chest and made the wide waist/hip OK. About 35-26-35 at time of wearing.
