Great hot weather shirt but hard to style
Because this is cropped, I only felt comfortable wearing these with high-waisted pants. Even then, it didn't look quite right, and the shirt would go up to my bra when I raised my arms overhead. But a nice light material with the pretty cutouts made this a great shirt for hot weather.

Cute but a bit uncomfortable
I don't normally wear short shorts in my advanced age but these felt classy. Only issue was that the bottoms ride up...that might be a "tall girl" problem (I'm 5'9".)

Sleeve detail was cute.
A unique sweater that I wore a couple of times. I liked the sleeves, but the material is very heavy (almost stiff) and it was cropped so I could only really wear it with high-waisted pants. Overall, I kind of liked it, but not a super versatile piece.

Looks cute on Zoom meetings!
This jacket looked old-fashioned to me. However, it actually looked cuter on Zoom meetings where only the top half of my torso could be seen. Well-made piece.

Hit In All The Wrong Places!
I think this dress was made for a totally different body type. It was tight in some areas, and a bit baggy in others. Nice heavy material. Would have kept me warm.

Too short for a tall girl
Too short, and the high waist made me look dowdy. Overall didn't like the style of this jean.

Fit a little baggy. Next time will get the XS. Loved the button details and felt like a good quality sweater. I considered buying it.

Cute cropped sweater
I wore this with some high waisted skirts and pants. Cute but a little too boxy, and the material is a little coarse. I liked it, but didn't love it.

Accentuates your stomach, but otherwise a good fit
This dress fit great everywhere except my stomach. Totally accentuated my less-than-flat stomach. Had to send back.

Didn’t end up wearing
The jacket looked ok, but I didn’t feel comfortable in it for some reason. Maybe it just wasn’t my style.

Cute, but a little small in the waist
I found this a little hard to style because I didn’t like the matching jacket with it. I ended up wearing a button down oversized white shirt (tied at bottom to make it shorter) with it. It was perfect for the outdoor graduation party I attended, but I couldn’t find another occasion to wear it to. Also, the waist is weirdly small, but it stretched out a bit and was not too uncomfortable in the end.

Maybe too big??
These jeans are so comfy! Loved the length! (I’m 5’9”, and they were a perfect length!) But I went back and forth as to whether I loved or hated the fit around the tummy area. In the end I decided that they looked too much like jeans my mom would wear. I may try the next size down, and that might help make the top of the jeans look sleeker. One more word of caution is that I got caught in the rain with them on, and the denim color ran into my white shoes. So now my white shoes have a blue tinge to them.

Too big or just too much material
I think I needed 1 size smaller, but there was a weird extra panel of material on the backside that just hung there. Maybe a smaller size would have filled out the dress. (I’m normally a size 8, and this size 6 felt too big.) Otherwise, I loved the color of this dress, and if it fit correctly, I think it would have been beautiful and sexy.

Cute and comfortable dress
I really did like this dress, but because of my body type, the top of the dress was a little too big, and the bottom of the dress was a little too tight. (The 8L size was way too big on top, so I could not wear that size.) But, I made it work and felt glamorous wearing the dress. The dress is stretchy, and so it's comfortable. And as someone said, there is a pretty blue-ish tinge to the sparkles that does not really show up on the photos.
