Soft, cozy winter sweater
Loved the print. Super soft and comfy.

Runs very large
I'm usually a M/L. Went with the L, because I planned to wear blazers or other bulky clothes underneath, but it's huge. The single button doesn't do anything to make this look more fitted and polished. It is very long and I'm 5'6+

Runs small in the waist
I am obsessed with the matching jacket (I bought it), so I ordered the pants to see if I liked them as well. No such luck. They run very small in the waist. I ordered my normal size 10 and the same size I wear in the jacket.

Runs very small
I am normally a 8/10, M/L. I ordered a 10 and it's too small to even zip. I could wear it unzipped with something thin underneath, but it's not my style. If you want a fitted look, go up one size. If you plan to wear a sweater or sweatshirt underneath, probably go up two sizes.

Not runway material
I thought this sweater was very blah. Felt like something from a consignment store to me - not a high end sweater. Also, it was shorter than expected and I have a short torso.

Fun, oversized sweater, early 90s vibe
I loved this one. It reminded me of Saved By the Bell (in a fun way!). It was high quality and I got several compliments. I am usually between a M and L, and went with a M on this one. It was oversized, so if you want more fitted, consider sizing down two sizes.

Perfect vacation purse
I carried this every day of vacation in Mexico. It's small, but perfect for just the few items you need on the resort. Magnet is very strong as well.

Small, short and boxy
I am usually a M/L and there was only a XL available, so I took my chances hoping it would fit like an oversized fit. It did not -- I am short waisted, and this was shorter on me. It also has a boxy fit that is unflattering. Pretty colors and design, but that's about it.

Beautiful print- awkward fit
The dress fit, but it was very unflattering. Lightweight, but stiff fabric and bulky. Didn't wear.

Hourglass girls- this is for you - not me
Wanted this to work so bad. It's super soft and gorgeous. It is roomy, but you do need to be comfortable with your waistline to make it work. I felt like it accentuated my love handles and didn't feel comfortable. I ordered a L which is my usual size, and I don't think a different size would have helped. I think this is meant for hourglass gals.

Tough to make work
This is theoretically cute but hard to make it work IRL. The waist tie is super heavy and bulky, so for me, it was super weighed down in the front and emphasized my love handles. I tried tying it different ways, but wasn't working for me. Sadly sent back.

Size down - comfy/casual/cute - good for WFH
I think this is perfect for WFH or travel. Super soft and comfy, but looks great on camera. Runs large, so size down.

Runs super small and short
I ordered a size 12, and I'm normally a 10. This wasn't even close to working for me. It's super short and I have a short torso. I've found the same is true for other Veronica B. tops.

Great lightweight blazer
Another great blazer from Rebecca Taylor. True to size and a great fit. Disagree with other reviewers that the pattern looks like dog hair. It looks great on and highly recommend pairing with the matching pants. Surprisingly lightweight.

Runs very small in the waist
I've found that Rebecca Taylor pants run small in the waist. I've had to size up in two different pairs (usually a 10, need a 12 in RT). These also have a notched button that would be cute if you are very small waisted, but can just be worn without something tucked in if not. Very pretty color that could work for fall or spring.

Rebecca Taylor Blazers Are the Best
I am now a big Rebecca Taylor fan after ordering a couple blazers. They are well made and fit great. I dressed this one up with a dressier blouse underneath for a work event.

Casual, oversized fit
I rented to wear this to a conference but decided it was too casual. I wasn't a big fan of the material either - kind of like seersucker and made me feel like a picnic table. Might be cute for a work picnic or something like that.

Gorgeous color and fit- packs well too
I wore this to a work conference. It's high-end quality, true to size and very comfortable. Came out of my suitcase looking impeccable, too. I would have bought it if it wasn't so expensive.

Fun and flattering
Ordered this for a Vegas trip and it was perfect. It does run somewhat large. I am usually 8-10, or M-L and the 8 fit perfectly. It's see-through, but you can wear a sheer cami or black underneath.

Classy cold-shoulder
I'm not usually a fan of the cold shoulder, but loved this one for a twist on a classic black sweater. I have broad shoulders and it fit well- did require a little steaming to work out the shape. It's a little itchy, but not so much I wouldn't wear it. I usually am a M-L and the M fit great, so I'd say it runs slightly large. I paired this with velvet leggings.

Disproportionate, not typical FP
I am a size 8-10, and ordered the 10 based on the reviews. It didn't come close to fitting. Extremely small, especially for FP which usually runs large.

Runs very large- size down
I ordered this and wore it in my normal size (8) a few months ago. It was huge, but I made it work with an oversized sweater coat on top. This time the 6 wasn't available, but it was so big, I thought I'd try the 4. It fit, but was a little tighter around the hips than I'd like, so I sent it back. Still a nice top, but definitely size down.

Didn't wear - super fitted
Super tight, somewhat see-through, felt like a vintage 70's dress that was meant for someone with perfect proportions. Not forgiving.

Pretty dress for the right body
I love Madewell and hoped this would work, but it was disproportionate for me. Too tight around the waist and big in the chest, otherwise it would have been fine. I have a bigger rib cage and smaller bust. If I had gone up a size, I'm sure it would have been way too big across the bust.

As soon as I tried this on, I wore it out. Love it. Soft, cozy, perfect fit. It could be worn casually or dressed up for work. I'll be hanging on to this for a little while.

Didn't wear it
Really pretty, but too fitted for me around the waist. The material was thinner than expected but very soft. Wish it would have worked. I planned to wear it on date and to work.

Festive and flattering
I don't normally wear anything fitted around the waist, but I found this flattering. I have a short torso so this hit me just right on the waistline. Loved the dolman sleeves and the fluttery skirt. Super fun for a holiday party and lots of compliments.

Perfect fall or early spring wedding guest dress
I have a high waist and carry weight around my middle, so I'm always weary of a fitted waistline. This dress was just right for me... fitted but not tightly. The V neck is low, but it was also just right for me-- I am 36C. Beautiful colors, well made, and nicely lined. So many options for shoes and accessories too. I would rent again for sure.
