I love this crop top, and I'm never returning it.
This is a great summer crop! Boxy fit -- if you're looking for something sexy and form fitting, she's not your girl. Signature Herve Leger fabric, you know the type... heavy, not amazing for hot weather if you're outdoors, but very durable and has a bit of stretch even though the fit is essentially like putting a square over your upper body. I have broad shoulders and I don't find that this makes me look like a quarterback - the cropped waist is enough to give you a nice little cinch, if you want it, as long as you wear a bottom that is fitted. I love this with cutoff jean shorts or a high-waisted pencil skirt. I wear it all the time for WFH Zoom meetings, and it always gets compliments. Really just a great top, and high quality. Colors are true to the picture.

I just wish they'd been better.
For context: I'm 5'5" and 110 lbs, with an athletic build. These fit well in the waist and hips at an XS (I'm usually a 0-2), but were WAY LONG. I think my proportions are also just different than those of the model they're shown on, where the pants look great. I have a smaller waist and wider hips/butt, with legs that are on the thinner side. I do appreciate that they fit well on the waist/hip/butt ratio, which is hard for me to find in general, but they were SO baggy on my legs that it looked like I was wearing JNCO jeans. They were also way, way too long. They have drawstrings a the bottom, but one of my major pet peeves in fashion is when we size a 24" waist to a 5'10" height by default -- not body shaming anybody, but by and large, that waist to leg ratio is extremely rare. The pants are a nice linen fabric and do have a drawstring at the bottom, but I would not recommend them for women who are of average height.

So cute!
I rented a M even though I am a S because it was the only size in stock at the flagship. It was still really cute but the sleeves were super long! The size I wore was too big and had a baggier fit but I like baggy clothes and paired it with a cute boot cut jean and nice bra since it was so big on me. Love the print and material, would rent again.

Cute, conservative.
I am usually a 0-2 and rented a 0, since this is a loose swing dress. The sizing was fine. I wore this to work with tights and heels, and it was: exactly fine. It's not a sexy or glamorous dress (re: it's for work, not New Years Eve.) The material is decent quality but not flashy. It's comfortable. The sleeves have some kinda corny ruching around the edges that give it a little bit of a "Ben Franklin, but make it fashion" vibe - I'd recommend this for a workday where you have a high-visibility meeting, but wouldn't wear it on a date or out with friends. Not bad, but overall: meh.

Cute, but only if Levi's work for your body type (sadly, they never have for me.)
Levi's have never worked well for me. I'm short, small in the waist and bigger "in the back." I rented these without trying them on because I love the embroidery. Overall, they were cool, but didn't fit great - they were too big in the waist, even though I'm a true 24. You can see in the pic that they fall at my hip and not my true waist, though they're supposed to be "high waisted." I think maybe they're doing a little vanity sizing with the measurements, or I'm just not a Levi's girl (sadly.)

Pretty pattern, but VERY long.
I really wanted to wear this dress to work, but it was WAY too long for me, even with 3.5" heels on. I rented a 4 (am usually a 2 or 4) and am 5'5" - even with the heels, this dress was dragging on the ground. Really designed for taller folks.

Lace for days
Rented for wedding. This runs extremely small. I am usually a 2 and wore a 6 (did a fitting in-store) - it fit perfectly. The dress is a bit long, but worked for me with heels. The front paneling on the waist and the entire upper back are illusion lace, so be careful if you don't like things that are more sheer!

Who doesn't love a jumpsuit?
Rented for rehearsal dinner. The top and body fit perfectly (I have a smaller bust and the strapless top fit well despite my usual concerns about slipping.) The pants are on the longer side but worked well when paired with a tall heel.

Comfy fall vibes.
I wore this to work with a chunky "sock" heel and received a ton of compliments. It's a nice, fine corduroy material - perfect for fall - and extremely comfortable. Like a pajama, but for work. I couldn't really figure out how to do the waist tie, so I ended up wrapping the strings around my entire waist and tying them in the back. Did a good job of pulling the silhouette in, since loose jumpsuits sometimes have a tendency to make you look boxy. I'm on the shorter side (5'5") and was worried that the Small would be too long for me, but it fit very well. The only thing I will say is that the shoulders, at least on me, stood out way more than the shoulders on the model in the picture - almost like a David Byrne "big suit" vibe (or an 80s shoulderpad) due to the blousing. I balanced it out by adding a slim gold necklace, and ended up liking the funkiness of this jumpsuit, but be aware that this essentially has shoulderpads.

Obsessed
I absolutely love this sweater and would 100% buy it (if it weren't so crazy expensive!) I wore this to work and then out to a bar with friends, and received a ton of compliments. It's a drapey, oversized, "boyfriend"-esque fit, and very soft material. I ordered a Small and it was predictably huge on me, but again, it's not meant to be form-fitting. I paired mine with wide-leg black Madewell jeans and a chunky heel, with a small hoop earring. I want to keep this sweater forever and live in it.

Great for work, no complaints!
This dress is really cute, and great for work! It's also very glittery, which is not really clear from the picture - not my usual vibe, but was happy to rock it at the office for one day. The material is high quality and comfortable. I'm on the shorter side, so it was longer on me than it is on the model in the picture. I'm usually around a size 2 and somewhere between an XS and S, so I ordered a size Small to be on the safe side since it looks super fitted in the picture. It was baggier on me than on the model in the picture (re: not tight at all in the torso, and had more of an "oversized" fit than a fit-and-flare look.) I probably should have ordered a size down, but overall, this was a cute office look!
