Size DOWN
This jacket is enormous. I can usually wear S or M but the "2" size swallowed me. The sleeves were especially long.

Well made, beautiful coat but unwearable in my normal size (M). My husband asked if it was a robe.

Didn't wear - too conservative
I rented this to wear to a financial conference, which is pretty conservative. I received a new item, with tags still attached, so I was excited. However, it was so conservative, I felt like I was running for office. I just couldn't make it work.

Meh
The top was cute, but something about the fit was very bland. This type of top is usually very flattering, but this one was a yawn.

Super long but really flattering fit
I wish I could have worn these. I am a pear shape, and these made my legs and butt look amazing. But, they were 5 inches too long - no heel could help. I considered purchasing them so I could alter the length.

Flattering fit for pear-shaps
Thick, warm fabric and a flattering fit. Great dress for warm weather with tights. A little short but not too short for work when worn with tights - makes you look long and lean.

Flattering fit
The lightweight fabric was great for warm weather. The skirt is lined I didn't have any see-through issues and the lining kept my butt covered when the wind kicked up. I loved the smocked waist + fit & flare shape, really accentuated the right places while skimming over the areas I'd rather not highlight. This one might be a keeper.

Not flattering
The shape of this made me look larger. I have a pretty flat stomach but the fabric was clingy on the belly and very unforgiving.

Pics don't do the pattern justice
If you love a moody floral, this is IT. The pics don't do the pattern justice, it's really pretty. I have a bit of quarantine weight but the 4 still fit nicely (typically wear 4 or 6).

Runs a bit too large.
I typically wear a 6 but I was swimming in this outfit. I thought I could make it work since it is intended to be a loose fit but I just felt silly - size down.

Top way too baggy
This runs large, especially at the top. I am usually between S and M, with DD boobs. I rent the SR and the top was so baggy you could see my entire chest from the side. It was unwearable.

I love a high waist but this was ridiculous - the elastic came all the way over my ribs.

Sexy but covered
The slide slit and breezy material make this feel really fresh and sexy but not too exposed. I have a small waist so I went with a 4 and it fits great. I rented it to wear to a music festival but it would also work great for weekend days or a night out.

Hipster sexy
This dress has a young, sexy look that feels fresh without making me feel ridiculous or overexposed (I'm 42). As with most Madewell styles, it runs a little large and it has some stretch. When in doubt, size down.

Cute and professional
The ruffle hem is so cute but still maintains a nice, professional look. I often go down to a size 4 in skirts (small waist, ample booty) but I wore a 6 in this one and it fit perfectly.

Very chic
The chain strap on this bag is so cute. Unlike many chain bags, this one is not heavy and the leather is so soft that it almost looks fake. Overall, a really beautiful bag.

Really cute style - hot pink
Suprt cute style that gets noticed. The fabric is a bit thin, which is great for warm weather but does wrinkle easily. I am usually a solid 6 in dress pants but these were a bit large and gave me the baggy crotch effect at the end of the day. I would recommend sizing down.

Great style with a cute low back
This dress is really cute and stylish, totally work-appropriate or for a special occasion. Unfortunately, it was a little too tight for my athletic arms and shoulders. It fit but looked a little too stretched and "hulky". A larger size would have been too big everywhere else so this was a miss for me. I would not recommend if you work out.

Cute retro look for work
I loved this dress! The fit was flattering and professional. I wore it to give a presentation at a conference and felt super confident - added a bright cardigan, black tights, and black booties. The material is thick but soft and has a little bit of stretch - very comfy to wear all day.

Unique style and flattering fit
This is such a cute and unique dress. The material is heavy and works well in cold weather. I wore it with sheer grey tights and booties. My only struggle was the pleats had been pressed together very tightly, which made it hang weird at first but I was able to steam them and spread them out a bit.

This top was far nicer than I expected - silky fabric and beautiful details.
Fit TTS, just long enough to tuck but looks great untucked as well.

The fabric seems pretty wrinkle resistant and the floral pattern is great.
The fit is quite large. I have wide shoulders and often have to size up but this was very large on me.

This is so light and comfy. I planned to wear it to work but ended up wearing it out to dinner too!
The snap to keep the zipper in place and the elasticized back are brilliant.
