Thick, Quality Knit
The knit of this top is high quality and feels expensive. It runs small; I ordered the medium as I'm a size 8 and it was too tight on me. I don't like looking like I'm squeezed into a top. Sent it back and will get the large.

Like a Glove
As other reviewers have said, this thing goes on like a scuba suit and feels really comfortable once it's on. Built-in bra does not lift but hides nipples. It is low in the front and shows cleavage, so not really appropriate for work, but goes to dinner just fine. I am a size 8, and the torso part had some room in it, as you can see in the photo.

Interesting, But Not For Me
These are cool looking pants. I am just weight conscious and felt like they weren't flattering. I'm an hourglass shape and anything that makes me look more hippy, is a no-go. They are very cool looking though and will look great on the right figure.

Awesome Fabric, Comfortable and Chic
The only size available was small, which was a bit tight for me, but I wore it anyway. This is a great anytime dress. I wore it to work and I wore it to a play and dinner. The fabric is a thick stretch knit so it was warm but breathable. I paired it with the Trina Turk Bee Cape Blazer and it looked great.

Stunning, Comfortable, Desk-To-Dinner
I got tons of compliments on this dress. It is lightweight, so though it's long sleeved, it's best for warmer weather. I wore it as a cowl neck for work and pulled it down around the shoulders for dinner.

Great Desk to Dinner Dress
Fun dress. The fabric was very nice and comfortable. I wore the large, and it fit in the chest and was a little loose below the waist. The laces do get into everything, so be prepared for that at the dinner table. It does look more brown that red in person.

Sparkly knit fabric
It was a nice design, but I didn't like the sparkly fabric. It's too fancy for every day (for me) and it's a corse fabric that was "scratchy" to put on. It would be a nice holiday skirt.

Odd proportions
I have a 36C chest and it this piece was not flattering. It was shorter than pictured (at least on me) and it hung oddly.

More Boho than Business
I got this as a button down alternative for the office but it was shaped more like a smock than a blouse. The fabric is very comfortable and the sleeves are fabulous, but even after a good steaming, it's a fabric that looks wrinkled. If you want a boho chic, this is the blouse, if you want a more conservative office look, this isn't it.

Very small sizing
I may have been optimistic in ordering an 8, as 10's are loose on me, but I couldn't even get these past my thighs. I think I'll have to get them in a 12.
