Light fabric and a fun skirt
This dress is quite comfortable, and is perfect for hot weather. I could wear a regular bra with it, and it was short but not too short. Easy to dress up or down. The one downside is that it only goes up to a size 10; if I ordered again I'd want to go up one more size, even though I'm usually a true 10.

Really hard to use zipper and very poofy sleeves
I liked the fabric of this blouse, but was disappointed when it arrived. The fabric is really stiff, and the side zipper barely works; I could tell the blouse was new, so I don't think the zipper was damaged, I think it's just one of those items that's hard to zip. The sleeves were also a lot poofier than they looked on the model online. I didn't wear this item.

Weirdly shaped skirt, super unflattering
This dress is a nice, sturdy fabric, and unlike most shirt dresses, the buttons didn't gap around my large chest. However, because the corduroy fabric is so stiff, the dress had weird, unflattering look overall. The sleeves were too short, and the skirt stuck out in stiff way.

Quality fabric and easy to dress up or down
The fabric on this blouse is so soft but also structured. I would size up if you have a larger chest, because the wrap/twist detail is actually quite open. The blouse is shorter than I thought it would be, so best with high waisted jeans or a skirt!

Comfortable and flattering!
Loved how comfy this dress was, and that it didn't wrinkle much at all. Even though it's tight on top and a thin material, it wasn't see-through at all. Great color, easy to dress up or down.

Fit great, no wrinkles!
Loved the fit and flare style on this dress. The sleeves were fun, and it had pockets! The best part was that I wadded it up in a suitcase and it still looked great.

Runs small and short!
This is a tight fitting sweater, and fantastic fabric. However, it's super short! It barely hit the top of my high waisted pants, so it looked weird and I didn't wear it.

Good length; weird bust size
I don't often find garments that fit me well generally but then see huge in the bust; usually it's the opposite. In this jumpsuit, though, I had a lot of gapping and side boob showing because the bodice was too big. Try this on before committing to it!

Nice fabric and design, but tight sleeves
So this top has really nice details and is a high quality fabric. However, the upper part of the sleeves is super tight, and I think the top runs small; I have a large bust, but the top was a lot lower cut than I anticipated and I was unintentionally displaying a lot of cleavage. I'd totally rent this top again, but I'd size up!

Sooooo soft
I totally loved this vest. It's super soft and cozy, and feels high quality. I usually wear between an 8 and 12 in dresses, so I got a size large, but since the vest itself is oversized, I think I could've gone with a small or medium. Because it's oversized, it does hit below the hip, so next time I order this vest, I'll probably get a smaller size so it hits a bit higher. Overall, super warm and comfortable, and it goes with everything!

True to size, quality fabric!
Usually when I wear tops or dresses with buttons, I go up a size so the buttons don't gap-- with this dress, that was a mistake, and a size large would've fit a lot better. That said, the fabric is really high quality, and it's a great length for every day, work, or a date. I love the color and the buttons. The only problem is that the sleeve hits at a kind of weird spot, and the elastic on the sleeve is uncomfortable.

So comfortable and flattering!
This knit is super soft without being itchy at all. I wish they made it in 10 other colors because it's so comfortable and flattering. It feels like I'm wearing a sweatshirt but I look put together! It does run a little large. I'm a busty woman and size larges usually fit me pretty well in sweaters, but I wish I'd ordered the medium in this!

Camel Peplum Sweater

Usual Size: 10

Great fabric and waist-hugging!
I'm not going to mince words: I have a very large chest. As a bustier woman, I usually feel quite uncomfortable wearing fitted tops and often wind up in clothes that make me look a lot larger around the middle than I am... Until now! This top fits perfectly, and hugs my waist in just the right spot, so my waist looks tiny but I don't feel like my chest is busting out or looking inappropriate. I love the deep, rich color, and the fabric is stretchy enough to move in, but thick, so it feels high quality. Also, the peplum itself is in a great spot, so I could eat all day without feeling self conscious, which I usually do in tighter clothes.

Perfect shape
This dress has such a flattering neckline. It enhances collarbones and wasn't too low or too high. It is hard to wear a bra with because of the low back. The fabric is comfortable and perfect for fall because it's not too thick or too thin. Being able to tie the sash in different ways to best highlight my waist was great.

Beautiful colors!
This blazer is super comfortable and has long enough sleeves, which is hard for me to find! It is a little bit longer than I think is flattering on me, though. The colors are gorgeous, and the print really fits into 2019's whole "florals for fall" trend.

Cherise Velvet Blazer

Usual Size: 10

Comfortable and eye catching!
This blouse is surprisingly comfortable. I was worried initially that the elastic at the waistband and at the wrists would irritate me, but it wasn't a problem at all. I'm fairly large on top and thought the neck might be too low, or that the wrap would be unflattering; fortunately, the V-neck has a snap button that allowed me to cover up a little more. This blouse does have a lot of volume though, as it is a lot of fabric, so I think it's best paired with a more fitted bottom. It's a shorter blouse, but doesn't show midriff when worn with mid or high rise pants.

This was my backup dress but I loved it!
This is a great dress. It's such quality fabric and it has pockets! I got a ton of compliments. However, the top didn't fit quite as tightly as I wanted it to, so I did tug on it all evening. It's also meant to be lower cut, which I didn't realize initially. I did have to keep my chest puffed out for it to stay up.

I didn't wind up actually wearing the dress.
I wound up wearing a different dress, because, though beautiful, this one has a fairly short bodice, which made it look like a maternity dress on me.

I didn't wind up wearing this dress.
This dress is really high quality fabric! It's a beautiful dress. The waistline and the length hit the perfect spots for me. That said, I didn't end up wearing it to my event. I have a fairly large bust, and the neckline/ structure of the dress don't lend very much support, and don't make it easy to wear any kind of bra. My boyfriend called the dress "Boob City" because of the cleavage! I think if I'd been able to shorten/tighten the straps, the dress would've been great, but they're spaghetti straps that are very difficult to safety pin to shorten. All in all, a gorgeous dress, but maybe not the best choice for someone who's bustier.
