Lightweight & perfect for spring
Really cute! They work great with any pastels or florals and cute for day or night, depending how you style it. These pinched a little so I couldn't wear them for 6+ hrs at a time, but they def weren't too heavy like a lot of clip-ons are.

Comfy, cute, cozy, versatile!
I specifically really love that this is so fully reversible: no tags showing at collar or weird seams at zips. I considered keeping it!

Too small from the hips up - size up
It’s about ankle length on me at 5’5” which is good with me. It’s definitely well made, it just was too small and tight from the hips up, and especially at the waist. Gorgeous colors! I unfort got it in my head that the print right over my stomach looked a little Georgia O’Keeffe and I couldn’t unsee it 🫠

Chic not practical
This bag was a good size for everyday, could work for day to night, and added a chic touch to any outfit, while also being pretty easy to match in winter. The tie style of closure didn't feel secure or efficient to me, and there's no inner organization, not even a small liner pocket. Those factors are why I knew early on that I didn't want to purchase it. I'm glad I had it (maybe a month?), and I'm also happy to move on. The faux fur was in really good condition when I got it and was surprisingly easy to keep that way.

Good not great
This fit me well - jackets often don't bc I have broad shoulders and my cups overfloweth. Color is super neutral and flattering, the cut is great. I would have bought it except the bottom hem on the right side had an irregularity that made me think it wasn't well made. I'm happy I tried it and got a few wears out of it. It's easy to style

12 too small for 36DD
Well made, I really like how the seams line up well with the pleat in the matching pants. Very pleasing. But unfortunately was too tight in the bust to really look put together in the way I wanted. Wore it once during the day, won’t wear it again. Note that my bra size has increased - 36DD/E is correct

Twist at front accentuates stomach
I didn’t wear this in public because the twist at the front made my tummy look enormous. I’m currently 36DD, 165 lbs, 5’5”. This is size L and I wouldn’t size down because the band around my bra line was already snug. Such a shame because the knit fabric feels high quality, the pattern is really cute and on trend, and it’s otherwise comfortable.

Lilac is so in! Loved this, super comfy and soft, and the shoulder tuck is perfect for my broad shoulders.

Too fitted for my liking
I love this color esp for fall, and the fabric feels comfortable and quality (FYI it’s unlined). I however didn’t end up wearing this dress b/c I just froze my eggs and I’m feeling too bloated to be confident in something this fitted. Maybe it would work with spanx/skims but I didnt try. Would otherwise pair it with cognac or perhaps burgundy boots. I’m currently 5’5”, 165 lbs, 36DD bra.

Cute color and cut, some cleavage
Super cute - this color and print are so on trend rn! I like that the cutout isn't that revealing. Fabric is quality but not heavy - and dress didn't need ironing when it arrived. I'm a 36DD so I wore a front close halter cut bra - this is cute for a date or party but I felt like wouldn't be appropriate for work or church or family occasions with this level of cleavage. Maybe a different story if you have a smaller chest :)

Got some compliments, needs a strapless bra and ironing
Wore this day to night: work (casual workplace) and then to my friend's baby shower directly afterwards. I think the bow at the back collar adds that little extra that makes it polished. Sorry this photo isn't full body, but it shows why I needed a strapless bra; even a thin-strapped Natori racerback was visible around the collar. Currently I'm 5'5" / 160lbs / 36DD. A tiny bit snug in the waist but not like I couldn't sit or eat by any means - exactly what I'd expect fit-wise from a Jcrew 10.

Very chic & easy to dance in!
LOVED this dress! It looks a bit plain from the front, but the cape really makes it. I have a large bust so I was worried it might look like a tent on me, but actually it's tailored in a very flattering way so that I still had a figure but plenty of room to dance. I wore gold open-toed heels and a seafoam green collar necklace and got compliments all night -- including from my friend who worked at Chanel! The cape is also extremely fun to dance in: the photographer got tons of candids of me on the dance floor.

Sparkle + pearl
I rented this to go with the Kate Spade necklace you can see in the photo, even though the earrings that exactly match the necklace were available. I didn't want to be too matchy-matchy, and this shape suits my round face better. I was worried the pearlescent finish wouldn't look right with the faux pearls in the necklace but they worked together beautifully, and both complimented my gold bridesmaid dress! I got compliments all night :)

Eye-catching and tasteful
I wore this necklace with my bridesmaid dress -- we all chose our own gold dresses, and mine was lower cut than the others, so I wanted something to draw the eye up but nothing garish that would conflict with the color scheme. This was the perfect amount of polish and sparkle. The faux pearls were a good size, not so large that they were tacky but big enough to vary the texture of the necklace. Very adjustable length. Would definitely rent again.

Elegant yet fun
Pros: would definitely rent again. I wore this for a very, very tasteful wedding that mandated "no ball gowns," so I was looking for something that wouldn't ruffle any feathers (appropriate cut for a large bust) but would still get attention and be fun to dance in, and this was spot on. It's really the fabric that makes it special, catching the eye with a textured jacquard without being a chintzy Vegas mistake. I paired it with a statement necklace and black suede wedges. Bra strap securers and pockets! Cons: I wish it didn't have the black inset in the back and instead that the fabric went all the way around. The cut is pretty simple and the waist was ever so slightly loose--I'm usually between an 8 and a 10, and I wore the 8 without even trying on the 10.

Flattering and feminine
Pros: this dress was perfect for an afternoon pre-wedding event at a country club. I'm pretty full in the bust, 36D-DD, and this cut suited me really well--a friend posted the pic and I got a text 30 mins later from another friend complimenting me :) cons: I'm usually between an 8 and a 10, but only the 8 was available, and it was on the snug end of what I consider wearable--the skirt twisted a bit and I had to correct it a few times but I had no trouble breathing in the torso or chest. The neckline is flattering for a large bust but not great if you're self-conscious about your shoulders; again, it was on the edge for me when I was deciding to wear it, but I loved the rest of the cut and the print so much that I went for it!

Comfortable and flattering!
I wore this for a 5-yr college reunion--I wanted something that would be polished and flattering without showing too much skin or looking frumpy, which can happen with a large bust. This was the perfect dress for it and I got lots of compliments! I paired it with a statement necklace and black suede wedge heels, which I normally wouldn't do with a navy, but I was coming from overseas, so I had limited options.
