A tad high in the waist
Fit well, but the waist came up a bit high. The shirt I had on under showed where it tucked into my pants. Unless you're wearing a bodysuit, it looks a bit pudgy.

Rose Tweed Striped Jacket

So comfortable and flattering
Fits well; the slit tends to ride up but not too high. I would wear again!

Comfy and a little busty
Fit well but the top was a little low cut. Love the pockets!

Not attractive
I couldn't wear it. My teenager told me to take it off right away. It may work for thinner, taller body types. It did not work well for mine

Still need full coverage underneath
It was very comfortable, but any lines from undergarments were pretty easily visible. Had to wear smoothing articles underneath.

Wrinkles easily but super comfy!
Such an easy wear. Had to iron before wearing but it was very comfortable. It wrinkled as soon as I sat down, but it was comfortable!

Awkward buttoning, but was fine. It wrinkled easily

Colorful romper
It rides up between your thighs if you're a little on the thicker leg side. One of the buttons was a little slippery so popped open sometimes, but it wasn't too bad. Otherwise it was a great outfit for a warm day!

Shoulders were a bit odd
It fit pretty well, however the positioning of the shoulder slouch never quite felt natural.

I was swimming in this dress. I needed at least one size down but maybe even two. The. I'm afraid it would have been too short!

Boxy but still flattering
The shirt was pretty boxy but I still loved the way it fit and kind of laid across my shoulders and hung.

Beautiful and so many compliments!
It was loose in the chest, but gorgeous! Nothing a little fabric tape to the bra didn't solve. Got so many compliments all night!

Great fit
It was a great fit. The opening in the back was glam but also was cold against seatbacks and if there was a chill in the room!

Sequin top was wonky
It fit very well, but the bust was blah because of how bulky the sequin portion was. It was also laying kind of funky so it wasn't that flattering

Great alternative for dressy jeans
They were loose a bit for a 12, which I enjoyed! Great alternative and I didn't think they were hot, despite being worn on some warmer days.

Itchy!
It fit very well, loose and baggy as designed. The material was pretty itchy, though. If you have issues with some materials (think it's usually a synthetic for me) then be warned. I wore a tank top under to stand it. But without a full shirt under, the itch took away from the presentation

Cute, but not great for slender waist and wide hips
It kept falling down to sit in my hips which made it so difficult to walk, sit, anything. I took it off after a few hours!

Beautiful dress
It was a bit big so ended up dropping lower in the cleavage than I prefer. It was a great dress for a night out but I wish I'd sized down. I'm wider in the hips and this is a common problem for me.

Beautiful! But it's a leash
It's a lovely dress. It's a little heavy but good for a winter event. The neck felt pretty light when sitting for dinner. It felt a little like a leash all night!

Very heavy and a bit long
So heavy...I wore without a belt so think they started to drag down off my hips as the day wore on, so they began dragging on the ground even more. So felt very long and heavy.

Elastic in arms was too tight!
Overall it was alright;the elastic in the arms made it uncomfortable to wear for any length of time. Wore it to one dinner and then had to change as soon as I got home.
