This was huge!
I liked the concept but the fit was so oversized I couldn't wear it.

Beautiful.
Stunning with great quality. I'm unsure about the neckline as a personal preference. However, I might rent it at a later date.

Gorgeous, fun, comfortable
I will find any excuse to wear these. The clip is comfortable and they're not too heavy. It's mostly secure feeling and I've only had issues once when they fell off. Most days I haven't had it happen. I love the color and size. In the end, I might purchase these since I love them so much.

It the color I was looking for but nice anyway.
This came a bit wrinkled and smells kinda like car leather. The color wasn't what I saw online and so it didn't wow me. It fit nice and would be a great rental for someone else.

Beautiful movement
I haven't yet worn these with an outfit but they fit great and the clip is secure. These are surprisingly lightweight and have super fun movement. I like them more than I thought I would!

Loved it except for the sleeves. Might try again this fall with a shirt on top.
This fit great and had a silk lining for the top, not synthetic. I felt the puffy sleeves weren’t an asset for me but I liked wearing a tied button-up over it. That rules out the breezy summer wear so I might try again to see how I like it this fall.

Wanted to love this but just couldn’t. Partial synthetic lining. Mostly fun floaty silk.
I really love the beauty and feel of this skirt. It’s light and floaty silk. It has a partial cupro lining that I didn’t like. I also didn’t feel happy when I wore it, the lovely twirl wasn’t enough. Maybe it’s just better for taller people but something was off. The colors are perfect. The pattern, too. Such a fun impressionist style. Bummer.

Great for a conference and sightseeing.
This has a wonderful swooshy feel that I liked best with my coral culottes/palazzo pants. It was pretty versatile, too. I was able to wear it over a fitted dress because of the shorter length and fitted waist. It looked dressy for conferences yet laid back enough with linen to go sightseeing. It was a little thick but 100% silk means good thermal regulation. I will definite rent this again someday. I felt it was a little big for me in the shoulders and waist and I'd rather try the 36 next time.

Awesome look, part reflective, part see-through gradient. Good fit for smaller faces.
This came in a nice smaller-sized case with a really cool palm print lens cleaner. The one downside is there isn't much curve behind the ear so there's a slightly less secure feeling there but the nose piece is quite secure. Sized 46-22-145 or 125mm across with 145mm bow. These aren't polarized but seem dark enough to be useable. I love the look. Apparently they're inspired by John Lennon.

Love it, great and breezy for summer, fun color.
The fit is great, it feels wonderful and breezy even though the cotton is quite thick. Was able to wear in mid-90 degree weather without issue. Well made, too! Waist is 25-26" Hips about 36-37"

Love it! I can't wait to wear this on vacation! It's a smidge long even with platform wedge heels.
This dress makes me feel like a goddess. I can't wait to wear it on vacation! There's no lining so I can comfortably wear this in the southern heat. The synthetic content does make it a little itchy but the styling more than makes up for it. With platform wedges if I stand straight and tall it just skims above the floor so it will still be functional. The bodice is supportive. The silhouette is noticeably dressy so I'll be thinking of ways to dress it down to get more wear out of it. Waist: 25-26" and ribcage: 28-30".

Fun style, would need a 00.
I loved this in concept, the cotton is nice. It's a bit stretchy so the extra fabric could've been ok but there was a lot of extra room in this piece so I didn't end up wearing it. 30" ribcage with 25-26" Waist.

Didn't wear due to synthetic lining. Lovely flow style.
30" ribcage and 25-26" waist. Fit tight but reasonable. The synthetic lining was not acceptable for this summer heat. Silk or viscose lining would've been a cooler option. It's a shame because the dress was beautiful and fun and lightweight.

Almost: nice color, size, extra magnetic pockets on either outer side, but poor leather.
This definitely fits all the items I plan to take on my trip. It even perfectly fits my packet of JIS B5-sized paper and 11" iPad Pro. The color is beautiful. Check this out, each outer side has a magnetic fastening slip pocket. There's two zippered compartments with plenty of space inside to fit all the items displayed in the photo. The inside slip pockets are perfectly partitioned with two half-sized pockets on one side, and a full sized pocket on the other, all in soft fabric. Such good organization! The handles can be fastened with a small scarf to prevent the contents from spilling out. It even uses YKK zippers. It's just one thing that bugs me... I don't like the leather quality. It's textured saffiano so spills won't be a problem. However, it makes sort of bubbles and dimples and bends that show up when packed. I just simply prefer a stiffer, smoother calf leather. Looking closely I should've seen that rippling in the stock photo. I also wish the handles were an inch longer. I could actually wear the handles on my shoulder if necessary but one would slip a bit. Additionally, the strap was too long to be worn at the side, and I don't like to wear straps cross-body. Yet, the handles were thankfully thick enough to be comfortable wearing at the crook of the elbow or held in hand.

Perfect colors and fabric, adorable tie in the back. Too big in the bust for the waist size.
If it weren't so billowy in the top it would be perfect. Pulling downward lessened this obvious large fit. It's a shame because the 0 fit perfect at a 25-26" waist. Alas, it won't be a keeper. Such a shame since the color, print, fabric, and style all work perfect for me.

Love the style but it was slightly warmer and itchier than preferable due to synthetic content.
The fit was great, it looked good buttoned an unbuttoned. The pockets were a tad awkward. There wasn't a lining which was a pro and a con. A pro for no extra synthetic fabric to make the heat miserable but still warm enough for the crazy southern air conditioning and also con because it was a tad itchy. I got compliments for wearing it with a light pink dress for Flower Communion. I might rent it again in the fall.
