Obsessed
Absolutely obsessed with this piece. Like where has it been my whole life? One of the comfiest things I've ever worn. I'm tall-ish, and I could see this working well for someone up to 4" taller than me. I've got a very full/curvy lower have and still have so much room. I've been wearing it casual, but I could also see it with no bra and strappy heals. I've g

You've heard of stand-up pants?
This is a stand-up skirt. Sitting down? Nope. Not unless you have something over your lap or are continuously adjusting it. Other than that the feel and fit were great.

Low-key Super-piece
The photo is kind of meh, it's true, but this sweater dress has so much potential. I love that it's a slightly drop shoulder. I could comfortably size down to a medium and still have ease through my curvy hips. Lots of potential ways to style it and so so comfy.

Can size down
These were so comfy and so versatile. I wore them a whole bunch before sending them back. I typically have to wear a large in pants, but there's plenty of ease in these. So size to your waist, and even down a size if you want if more fitted through the hips -- but I like the looseness! Very chic and cozy!

So fun!
Styled these a few ways, all of them so much fun! I really love the silhouette of these. My only gripe is that they *barely* fit and have almost no give, even though they're technically a size up from my usual waist size.

Chic and practical
I've been wearing this as my daily jacket through this moderate winter. The sleeves are actually quilted, so it's extra warm. Size up for that chic oversized look, size down for a more tailored fit.

Stylish and warm
I loved these! A great fall/winter staple that looks stylish with classy boots or bright dunks. I had fun styling these a bunch of different ways. I'm between a 6 and an 8 because of my hip measurement -- I could comfortably wear these at a 6, but next time I'll get an 8.

Size up
If you want it to fit as pictured, be sure to size up. It was much to snug around my hips. It's comfy and drapes well, though. I styled it with gold jewelry, brown tights, red ankle boots, and a long camel coat.

IDK
I held onto this one for a while, and I'm not sure what the problem was. I like the color and the feel a lot, but every time I tried to style it I felt like it looked stuffy somehow. I really don't know, should've been a sophisticated basic.

Great dress, unusual fit
I really enjoyed this dress, and my date loved it. The color and the fabric is beautiful in person. I would absolutely rent it again. I rented the 6 with the 8 as a backup and in theory I could've worn either. The six was a perfect fit through the bodice but snug around my curvy hips, and the eight was noticeably loose up top. (For reference: 29-30" waist, 42-44" hips) I sized up to the 8 because the corset-ish back gave some room to tighten it up and I wanted to be comfy at dinner. The good news is I have A cups, so this should be a slam dunk for bustier folks.

This ended up being harder to style than I anticipated, so I mostly just wore it around the house. It was pretty comfy and very warm, and I love the pattern, but overall it was just meh for me.

LOVE
Do not listen to the other reviewers. This dress is cute AF. It's runs a touch small in the waist with no give, so size up. The dress was so comfy and incredibly well-made. The one surprise is that it is heavier than I expected, so it'd be more appropriate for fall/spring than summer.

glad I listened to others and sized up
I'm usually between a 6 and 8, and a 10 fit my hourglass/athletic build perfectly. Besides that, this skirt is fall perfection. It's giving Practical Magic. It's giving orchard chic. It's giving elevated small-town romance novel main character. I don't like the way they have it styled in the product photos, though -- it was way cuter with a black cropped t-shirt and booties or a white blouse and birks.

Don't sleep on these shorts! They can be more casual with a graphic t-shirt or dressed up with a blouse. They are even cuter in person!! Note: They were a perfect fit through my hips -- which almost never happens because compared to my waist, my a** is huge. However, there is *no* give in the waist, so if I rented them again, I'd size up.

Perfect for running errands or a date or lounging on a patio. This dress can be elegantly dressed up or dressed down for casual wear. I think if I rented it again, I'd size up because I like a looser fit through my hips.

so fun!
Ok, it is super oversized -- which I LOVE! I'm between M and L, wore a M and it was plenty oversized, so go with your usual size or down if you're between. This shirt was so fun to style. I wore it untucked with flare jeans, half-tucked with orange linen shorts, and untucked with blue bike shorts -- all super cute. I got so many compliments from folks and felt so comfy and chic.

These "fit" me but were a bit snug through the hips and honestly ultimately looked like a diaper. Not cute or flattering. They also arrived in desperate need of ironing.

perfect summer date dress
So comfy, breezy, and cute. There's also plenty of ease, so you could easily size up or down if you're between sizes. Even with a smaller bust, I didn't need any dress tape or anything. It definitely works without a belt, but I styled it with a floral tie belt and nude wedges and loved it. I think it'd also be super fun with a thin bright pink or dark green belt and matching shoes for a little more of a statement.

a stunner!
Multiple people told me variations on "this dress is everything", and I sort of felt like the star of the show all night. Not the dress to wear if you want to blend in! I styled it with a dainty necklace, almond-color dressy loafers, a coordinating handbag, low messy bun, and minimal makeup with a dark lip. I got the M with L as a back up, and both "fit" but the L was definitely a little comfier and much easier to zip. I have a small bust and very athletic hips and thighs (somewhere between and hourglass and a pear, soft natural if you're a kibbe person), and I didn't have to use any shapewear or dress tape or anything!

Everybody loved these pants -- e v e r y b o d y. They're super fun, relatively easy to style, and quite comfy. Keep in mind, they do run a tad small. I'm between a 6 and 8, and the 8s fit, but barely. Definitely size up if you have an athletic or hourglass build.

just wasn't right
This technically "fit", it wasn't too snug anywhere, but the drape was all wrong once I got it on. It might have been better if I'd sized up? I don't know, something about it was just unflattering -- I think maybe it just isn't flattering on more athletic builds.

not "sheer", see through
I'd planned to wear this dress on a date, but it was straight up see through. Even if nude shorts and pasties it was a no. It's pretty stretchy, so if you're between sizes you could go either way, but size up if you want a drapier look.

not as flowy and fun as expected
These do run small and have no give. I'm between a 6 and an 8 but can usually shimmy into a 6 -- it wasn't even close with these. The big bummer though was that the fabric of these pants was surprisingly stiff? They didn't drape near as well as it looks in the photo. They were also super duper wrinkled.

get ready for compliments
True to the size of your waist with plenty of ease through the hips. If you've got a fuller bust and are shy about showing side-boob, size up. This dress was surprisingly comfy and perfect for a garden party! My friends kept telling me how hot the dress was, lol! The only thing to know is that the fabric was stiffer than I anticipated and at my height the hem hit a bit above the ankle.

the perfect pants?
These are so cute and so comfy. They've got plenty of stretch, so you can definitely size down. I'm typically between M and L, and I could've worn a small, but I liked the slightly looser fit of the M. I wore these a handful of times. You can easily dress them up or down! I wore them with a cropped grey graphic t-shirt, long black cardigan, and sneakers; cropped white linen tank and heels; black bra-top, long pink floral cardi, and birks; and an oversized band t-shirt, ball cap, and chucks; and I got so many compliments every way I wore them.
