Like like like it, but a bit too snug
The dress is beautiful. I ordered the largest size available and if it was completely true to size it would have been my size. It's a bit to snug for me. It hugs the curves, but a bit more than would be flattering in the belly. The color was also not quite right for me, which surprised me because I usually wear golds and mustards. Maybe it was just the lighting in the room or perhaps just the exact shade or my latest hair coloring. I was also a bit surprised by how large the cross stripes were in the striped portion of the check pattern. It looked better to me in the pictures 'from a distance' than it did close up in person. I thought I would love love love it. Instead, I love love love it on other women, but only like like like it for me and am sending it back.

Lovin' the Lenna!
Love love love this Lenna skirt. The fabric is comfortably stretchy and form fit flattering. I love print and texture mixing, so I paired it with RTR's J. Crew Plaid Parke Blazer which also has black/white/yellow plaid houndstooth combined pattern for a yellow/grey effect. For accessories I added a yellow stone arrowhead necklace and a vintage Perry Ellis plaid yellow & grey scarf from Germany. I got lots of compliments on how well put together the outfit look. I will also wear it just with black and possibly other colors in the future.

Beautiful, soft, and small.
I love the look and feel of this skirt... the color and the ruffle detail. The fabric is surprisingly soft. I usually wear a Medium, size 10/12 for most brands on average. For this skirt, the size 12 was just a little too small. It goes on and zips up okay, but pulls a little too tight around the hips. I am returning it without wearing it and will try the size 14. I look forward to pairing this with the matching blazer by the same designer.

Cool feel to fabric and bunches above the chest
I prefer fabrics that are warm to the touch, especially for year round wear. This fabric had a chill feeling to it for me. More concerning was the way the neckline bunched up. The top seemed to be the right size, but between the feel of the fabric and the bunched neckline I chose not to wear it and returned it right away. Not the right top for me.

Love this dress!
This dress is beautiful and figure flattering. The only minor thing I would like better is the look of the print patter closeup when the dress is laying flat. The print looked a little flat and tacky to me. But once I put the dress on and looked at myself in the mirror that impression disappeared. I highly recommend this dress. Fun to wear and nice 3/4 length sleeves.

Studdenly beautiful goddess gown
Perfect fit, well-made, very flattering with curves in all the right places. The nude liner is thick enough to keep me warm and smooth over slight bulges. At 6' tall barefoot, the 10L is about the right length for me with flats, not sure about heels yet. The open lace at the neckline, shoulders, and arms is a beautiful effect. Some women in the reviews are wearing this gown with a nude bra, which I would likely do at a formal event. For my more intimate holiday party with friends, the Pnina Tornai look of wearing a black bra looks even better. A bit of subtle edgy eleganza. Bought it 'cuz I love it!

Love this dress once I sized up enough
The L and XL both pulled around the hips and belly area in an unflattering bodycon way. I usually wear Medium size dresses in most brands. For this dress I started with the L and XL and had to size up again to the XXL. With the right size this dress is beautiful and figure flattering, hugging the curves without being too tight. I highly recommend this dress. Just consider sizing up 2 or 3 sizes from your usual...

Love love love this skirt!
I love the colorblocking, colors, plaid, shape, and the thick sturdy fabric of this skirt. I ordered a size up and it's a perfect fit for me if I wear a pair of black leggings under the skirt, which is how I would usually wear it. I love it so much I couldn't send it back. I look forward to wearing it for years. I first saw it on a friend who is also a stylist and highly recommend it to any woman who loves colorblocking and texture mixing.

Comfy cozy fun, too large and fuzzy
I love this sweater and am looking forward to trying a smaller size. On the plus side, the design of the colorblocking is amazing and unique. The colors go great with the Caara Tortine Plaid Skirt in an 'interesting' colorblock-mixing way, which is why I ordered it in the first place. The sweater is very cozy and comforting. I rate it as 4 stars because of the shape and fabric fuzz. The shape is loose and flowy around the hips, especially because the size was too big for me, but I can see the same type of 'crease' in the loose fit on the model. The angora/lane & other 'ingredients' blend is relatively soft (though a bit scratchy). I understand the particular sweater that arrived had only been rented 4 times, but it had a lot of fuzz balls on the lower half and fuzzy edges on the hemline and sleeve ends. The fuzzballs are probably easy to fix with a pumice stone, but that takes effort, and on a rental it's not clear whether a customer should be fixing fuzz balls in that way. If I had bought the sweater I have no doubt I could take care of the fuzz balls safely and easily and get the sweater looking in top shape. I tried the Size US 12 and it's way to big for me. I realized after it arrived that the US 12 is a EUR 44, and I should probably be wearing a EUR 40. I'm returning the 44 to try a smaller size and can't wait for it to arrive. I love the design of this sweater and am optimistic that the right size will turn this into an amazing sweater for me :)

Foam-backed fabric?
I was really looking forward to wearing this top, but didn't like the inside of the fabric when it arrived. The fabric seems to be a kind of faux leather with a foam backing. I started to try it on just enough to confirm that I didn't like the way the top was draping or the feel of the fabric. I decided to return it unworn and exchange for another item. I'm not sure of the overall fit because I didn't finish trying it on. I listed 'True to Size' since I am not sure. Given the positive reviews and the way it looks on others I would recommend this top to other women, so long as you are not as particular as I am about fabrics. It looks like a great top. Enjoy!
