feels like a living watercolor painting!
This jacket is simply gorgeous. Well-constructed, the pattern is striking, cannot say enough good things about it. If it weren't so expensive, I'd buy in a heartbeat. Does run a little big - I'm typically a 2-4 in tops, and the 2 fit really well with enough room to wear a light sweater under it.

versatile dress
I expected this dress to be "eh" but ended up really liking it. The material is really thin but not see-through. The dress overall is really versatile - I could wear it as-is or belted in warm weather, and add a long cardigan and some boots in the cooler fall months. The color isn't as bright as I was hoping for - more of a muted teal, but still eye-catching.

just okay
gorgeous pattern and vibrant colors, but the fit was a little off for me. I'm usually a 2/4 or 26 in pants and ordered a small. The waistband fit about 2" below my actual waist, more along my hips. Would have rather ordered an XS. Note that the waistband has zero stretch and the skirt has a side-zip.

silky colorblock dress
Great fabric on this dress - thin but not see-through, almost silky. Dress is a little shorter than expected, but still work appropriate for me at 5'5. Other reviews mentioned the stripes fit weird, but I did not find that to be true for me. Got quite a few compliments on this one.

comfy jumpsuit
The other reviews definitely do this justice. Super soft, pretty color. The straps are not adjustable, so I ended up wearing a bralette under it knowing it would be seen. Waist tie is adjustable and the waistband is stretchy, so this is a good jumpsuit for someone with a curvy bottom half. Wore on vacation to the beach and it was perfect!

long straps, weird length
The straps on this dress are not adjustable and are very long, which makes the dress very low-cut. I'm usually an XS/S or 2/4 (5'5, 125lb, 32D); I ordered SR. The dress was unwearable. Besides the neckline, the length of the dress was weird - not quite maxi and not quite tea-length. Maybe 3-4 inches above my ankles. The pattern and colors are pretty but the design and fit of the dress did not meet expectations.

pretty dress but tight in chest
Dress is pretty and flows beautifully. Vibrant colors. Really tight in the arms and especially the neckline. The chest itself fit fine (size SR and a 32D), but the neckline and arm holes have zero stretch and were uncomfortably tight, making this dress unwearable for me.

best jumpsuit!
Seriously beautiful. Way better in person. Fits like a dream, waist is adjustable which is nice. The contrast stitching gives this jumpsuit a nice pop of definition. Easy to put on and remove without assistance. 10/10, would have bought it but the garment I received had a small stain on it.

silky pants
These pants are really beautiful in person. They're silky, which I wasn't expecting. Like other reviews stated, they run *a little* small - if you are between sizes, I would size up, but if you run TTS then I would recommend picking your typical size. There's a small panel on the back of these pants with some elastic, so the waist has a little bit of stretch. The pants are pretty long - I'm 5'5 and the 4R still skimmed the floor with 3in heels.

gorgeous lightweight dress
This dress is prettier in person than in pictures. The material is stretchy but also slinky, feels almost like silk. It does run a bit big - if you're between sizes, I would size down. The top is made to be low-cut, but a safety pin makes this dress work appropriate.

weird fit
Couldn't wear this dress due to fit. The sleeves are ruched with no stretch at all - I don't have especially large hands or arms, and could barely get the sleeves over my hands. Once on, the dress wraps nicely, but the ruffles at the bottom hit at a weird length. In similar styles, the ruffles come either right above your bum, or underneath. These hit right in the middle, and were both uncomfortable and unflattering.

better in person than in pics
Pretty print and very lightweight fabric. The dress looks better in person than in the stock photo. It has a nice swing to it and is more flattering than I expected given it is kind of boxy. It was just borderline too short for work - at 5'5, the XS came about 4-5in above my knee. Still doable.

stretchy and low-rise
These jeans are super stretchy and lower-rise than other BlankNYC jeans I've rented. I couldn't actually wear these - I bought my normal size but with the amount of stretch and low rise, they wouldn't stay up over my hips. Great length and quality, just beware of the stretch and low-rise for those with curvy hips.

fits weird
Nice quality fabric and beautiful color, but the dress fits weird. It's not cut like a typical sheath, and has some extra fabric around the hip-area that bunches up when I would walk or sit. Not my favorite.

another great trina turk dress
I'm a big fan of Trina Turk dresses, and this one doesn't disappoint! Thick material, well-crafted, and the top zipper is adjustable to be as conservative or risqué as you'd like. It was just a little bit too short for me to be comfortable wearing to work, but perfect for general everyday use.

fun spring print
Great top for the Northeast "spring" transition weather. Lightweight with a fun print. Looks exactly like the stock photos IRL. Styled it the same - black flats, distressed boyfriend jeans, and got a lot of compliments.

cute and unique but runs small
Super cute dress, the back is really unique with a thick mesh overlay, but runs small if you have curves! I'm usually a 2, sometimes 4 (125lb, 5'5, with curves). I sized up to the 4 and it was STILL tight in the hips. Wearable, but would have preferred a size bigger. If you have hips or a booty, I'd recommend sizing up at least 2 sizes so the dress hangs better.

rent this dress!
I don't have enough positive things to say about this dress! It's gorgeous and overall really fun to wear. It's a true wrap dress, so you can adjust both the waist and how deep the V-neck goes. I wore this cinched for work with a high V, then untied and repositioned to lower the V for a weekend look. I'm 5'5 and the SP length was perfect with 1" wedges. The fabric doesn't seem to wrinkle either, which is nice.
