Wedding guest ‘fit
I wore this to a friends rehearsal dinner. It was a bit longer than I anticipated, but the fabric felt great and the cut out on the side was easily adjustable. I will say getting this dress to photograph well wAs a bit tricky, it wasn’t particularly flattering on me from a straight-on angle.

Fun color for work pants
These pants definitely would be a weird length if I didn't wear heels. I also feel as though they would probably look better on someone with slimmer hips/thighs. I carry my weight in my hips and thighs which cause the pants to fit tighter in these areas while being baggier towards the bottom, which seems less flattering.

Quality faux wrap maxi
This dress is definitely roomy if you order TTS, I think many would be safe ordering down. It was pretty standard as far as maxi dresses go, my huge issue with it was the snap in the bust area. It wouldn't stay snapped and I am by no means busty. It was in an awkward area even if it would have stayed closed. It looked fine un-snapped, but there was a noticeable silver grommet on the neckline when wearing unsnapped.

Without a doubt runs small....
Definitely size up if you carry your weight in your hips/thighs (as I do). I was able to zip up the two, but it was very snug, kind of felt like I waas wearing a corset all day. The dress itself is beautiful, and I like work dresses that are more form fitting, but will definitely go up a size with this brand in the future.

Great for transitioning from summer to fall wardrobe!
I rented this and wore it to two dinners over the weekend. It fit well, gaped a little at the bust for me but it wasn't bothersome and is to be expected for someone with a smaller chest. Nothing exceptional about this blouse, The fabric is fairly stiff and is kind of hard to iron - a steamer certainly doesn't cut it to get rid of wrinkles.

Bright crop top
I got this for a weekend trip to NYC, wanted to have something casual for walking around the city. The medium was the perfect size for me. It's very cropped which is what I was looking for, I wore with high rise jeans

Great for Fall
I wore this skirt to the office, it fit right as expected. I did think the length was perfect - right above the knee on me. The material is very thick, almost flannel-feeling. The slit is a true slit and could definitely fall open while you're sitting down.

Flowy day dress
I love the color of this emerald green dress, it's a very flattering cut. A little low cut but since I don't have too much cleavage this didn't present a huge issue. The only thing I didn't love was that the bow only ties in front, not to the side of the dress.

Love these pants for work
These pants have a BOLD pink check, the pictures make it look a little more subdued. I really liked this, however. The pants feel very well made and are a super-lightweight material which I appreciated during the summer.

Summery romper
This romper fit ok, the way it hit my shoulders took some getting used as it almost is off the shoulder but not quite. I did like the length of the shorts, and it worked well for my long torso. Unlike the picture, the back of this romper ties in a bow, it is not a continuous strap as shown. It would be a little hard to put this on by yourself.

Great dress for the office!
This dress is form fitting but very comfortable, plenty of stretch throughout. The color is stunninggg, along the lines of an electric purple/violet, got lots of compliments at work.
