Fabulous dress. Super flattering.
Wore in 90+ degree heat on the NYC subway, and it still looked lovely by the time I made it to the office. It hugged curves in the right places and flared in the other spots. Will likely buy.

Boxy and stiff
This was a boxy and stiff sweater that feels high quality yet ultimately was not complimentary to my 5'3" frame.

Great knit sweater
I enjoyed wearing this sweater quite a bit. It's such a nice knit with the button sleeve detail with just a bit of the shoulder showing. The M was a touch too big; should've gotten a small.

Love except for long, bell sleeves
I did not realize how long the sleeves were. Not for the petite.

Super comfy but very oversized
I think this a great, comfy sweater but really oversized. I'll order a small or XS.

Lovely but seriously oversized - Size Way Down!
The size 36 was beyond oversized. I read the other reviews to size down. A size 36 should be a 4. It felt like a 14. I think I'd love the coat - in the right size.

Beautiful jacket, but definitely oversized
Only a large was available, but indeed it was way too large even though it is meant to be oversized a bit.

Cool geometric sweater
Interesting sweater, but too fitted and sleeves too long. I liked the weight of the sweater and probably would have ordered a medium instead of the small but for the sleeves being too long.

Sweatpants for work
These are very comfortable pants - almost like wearing sweatpants to work. However, with my being short, the fit can look a bit frumpy.

Not for the petite
I 'm 5'4" and found the large puff sleeves overwhelming for my frame - like a costume.
Aloe Top

Loved it, but more for event/going out than work.
So pretty!! I rented this for work but ended up wearing it to my daughter's graduation. It feels a little too dressy for work. It seems more for meeting friends out paired with denim or with black pants to dress it up. I would buy it if I weren't dieting. Maybe I'll get a smaller size!

Lovely, lightweight top
This was great for warm weather days - for work or whatever - with the lace detail and ruffle to change up the everyday tee/work shirt routine.
