Great for early stage pregnancy
I wore these jeans from about 16-22 weeks pregnant and loved them. The waist is low rise to begin with and with a quick hair tie trick to get the top button closed, these worked great riding below my growing bump. In addition to fitting well, they were very on-trend and I could dress them up or down. They are a bit long so even at 5 7 I had to wear a slight heel to avoid the hem dragging, but I really enjoyed the look.

Loved this dress at 20 weeks prengant
I wore this dress at 20-22 weeks pregnant. It was so comfortable and cute. I just sized up one size and it was stretchy it enough to accommodate my emerging bump.

Comfy & stretchy
I wore this dress 16-20 weeks pregnant and it was extremely comfortable. I just sized up one size and it worked great. My only complaint is that the shoulder pads didn't really fit quite right -- they weren't wide enough to really make a statement, so they just looked like an afterthought.

Showstopper
I wore this to a wedding in Miami and wow, it was a stunner! Many comments note that it was quite long but the length was just right for me and I'm 5'7". I wore ~1 inch heels but could have worn flats. I also fit a regular bra under it using an extender that allowed me to pull down the back closer so that it wasn't visible. Absolutely loved it.

Laughably Small
If you have any sort of bust, beware! This shirt is so small, it's laughable. I sometimes run intro trouble getting tops like this to zip but I couldn't even get this one over my chest period, and my husband had to help pull it off of me. I would have needed to size up at least 2 sizes, at which point the entire shape of the top would have been lost. Unless you look like the model, it's safer to just pass on this.

Beautiful, warm sweater
I loved this sweater for everyday/work. The sweater runs true to size though, so if you want the slouchier, oversized look like the model has, I'd suggest sizing up. The small fit just fine but was more fitted than I was expecting based on the pictures.

Super flattering
This top is super cute! I wore the size 1 and it was snug but fit well -- the material is super stretchy. However, it's also a little itchy which made it uncomfortable to wear all day. Maybe if I sized up it wouldn't have bothered me so much. Regardless, it was a really fun look.

Adorable and so flattering
Wow, these pants are awesome. I already have plans to rent them again. The fit worked great for me--the waist size was perfect and there was just enough room in the hip/thigh for an hourglass figure without looking baggy. I couldn't figure out how to style them with much more than a thin top or sweater, since there's not much room to tuck-in in the waistband, but I still really loved the look.

Unique and memorable top
This blouse is super cute and a little edgy if you style it right. I wore it with a black denim skirt and really loved the look. The tie is a little tricky to get right, and you kinda have to adjust the rest of the top to sit right throughout the wear. But overall, I was really happy and will rent again.

Stunning color and great fit
This dress is what dreams are made of. It fit like a glove and was so classically sexy. My only tiny complaint is that the dress itself is a little heavy, so the spaghetti straps dug into my shoulders a bit by the end of the night. Still highly recommend!

Very cute and soft fabric
This was a great dress to wear on a busy day walking to meetings around the city. The fabric was soft and the fit was excellent. I didn't have any issues with puckering buttons, and while there was a little room in the waist, the faux-belt helped create some shape. Heads up, the buttons do end before the bottom of the dress, creating a kind of center slit as you walk. But I didn't find it to be problematic.

Cute but nothing special
This dress ended up just being meh for me. I was excited for the bodycon fit but the fabric didn't end up being as stretchy as I thought it would be and there were some fit issues around the arm/shoulder area for me. It was still a sexy/subtle look but I didn't feel super comfortable.

Beautiful fabric
This skirt is really lovely! I'm excited to wear it a few more times before sending it back. My only complaint is that I should have sized down. The 2 sits on my hips where as a 0 would have fit my natural waist. Great piece for fall sweaters and boots.

Cute but lots of fabric
Great top for a casual work day or everyday look. I tucked it into high waisted jeans and it was super cute, but even so there was a lot of fabric on the bottom half and it billowed quite a bit. I still liked the look but it may not be what everyone is looking for.

Beautiful and a little sexy
I loved this dress! The fabric and flow was just amazing, and it was just sheer enough to show the shape of my legs a bit, which I loved. I did have to pin the top down, as the buttons kept slipping open. But overall, I really loved this dress.

Cute but so low cut
Really beautiful blouse. I loved the fabric, colors, and overall vibe. However, it’s so low cut that I couldn’t wear a bra without it peeking through, which was super disappointing.

Relaxed & Chic
This dress is really beautiful. I brought it on a family vacation to Colorado and it was the perfect piece to "dress up" on a casual vacation. I could also still chase my niece around while wearing, which was awesome! My only comment would be that this dress runs a bit large. I typically wear a size 0 from Ralph Lauren and I wish I would have stuck to it. The 2 looked fine but there was a lot of room in the waist, which I prefer to have nice and tight. In fact, the dress has a zipper under one of the armpits that I didn't even notice until my second wear--it was big enough for me to just slip over my head. So just a heads up stick to your RL size, if you know it, or I suggest sizing down.

Amazing color and fun cut
Wow, I loved this dress, and seriously considered buying it. The color is so beautiful, and the cut was fun and flirty. My only complaint was with the zipper. It wasn't long enough to really allow my hips to get through, so I had to put the dress on over my head--which messed up my hair/makeup the first time. (It did fit great once it was on!) Also, at the end of the night, I couldn't get the dress off on my own. Not only is the zipper difficult to reach, but it gets caught on the seams in the back. I had to drive to a friend's house for help getting out of this dress. If you have help, it's no problem, just something to consider.

Fun but a little extra
This necklace is so fun but it turned out to be a little too flashy for me, so I didn't end up wearing it. I thought it would be perfect for a nice dinner at a beach resort but it just turned out to be a little gaudy, and I couldn't figure out what to pair it with. Cool piece, just not my style.

Cute and Flirty!
This dress is adorable. I usually wear a size 2 but I noticed other women with similar measurements were sizing up to about a 6. So I ordered and wore the 6 as well. It fit and was comfortable but I could have definitely fit into a 4 and it may have been more flattering. (I doubt I could have fit into my normal size, a 2--maybe if I held my breath the whole night...) My overall recommendation on sizing is to size up ONE size, not more. That's in part because the shape of the dress does lend it self to bulking you up a bit--with the ruched shoulders & torso, and flirty skirt. But it was still really cute and fun to wear to a girl's dinner.

Cute but wrinkly
This dress is super cute, and you can accessorize to make it a little edgy. The fit was true to size--for me it was a little tight, but still comfortable in the bust, and then there was a little bit of gapping around the waist. The fit still looked great though--no one could tell but me. My only complaint is that the ruffle detail and hem get wrinkled super easily. I had to steam heavily before each wear, and even then, the lining would occasionally pop out from beneath tiny wrinkles in the hem. Last thing to note is that I thought the stripes on this were a red/blush... they're actually pink and orange! Still adorable, I was just surprised.

So So Sexy!
Okay, this is probably my favorite dress that I have ever worn. It fit like a glove! The fabric and construction was also absolutely perfect--I received so many compliments at a cocktail rehearsal dinner. I felt super confident and sexy all night. And the best part, I think, is that you can wear a regular bra with it! Love love love. Don't think too hard about it, just rent this one.

Prettier on the hanger
This dress is so beautiful on the hanger (and the model). However, the fit is just really tough. I have a large chest and somewhat broad shoulders, and the top was still too too big. I ended up making it work by using boob tape and double sided tape but wow. Even then, I could barely move all night for fear of not just a nip slip but an entire breast falling out. The trouble for me was the combination of the low low neckline and the strap details not fitting snug enough. I could have potentially fit into a 0, but I don't think there was really any saving this, even in a smaller size. It also has a slight maternity-vibe, which I thought was beautiful and ethereal on the model... but not so much on myself!

Perfect for formal outdoor event
I loved this dress but the only size available was a petite. I crossed my fingers and hoped for the best! Even through I'm 5'7", the length was perfect in heels. So I'm sure the regular would have been way too long for me. The only wonky details were the waist band, which didn't quite reach my natural waist, and the strap details by the arms, which were way too long and had to be pinned down. Despite those small flaws, I still felt absolutely beautiful in the dress, and it was perfect for an outdoor wedding in Malibu. I was comfortable all night and received many compliments. Heads up, I don't think you can wear a regular strapless bra with this one. I opted for boob tape, which worked great.
