Didn't Wear, Short & Wrinkly
Way too short for work, ok for casual with biker shorts underneath. The fabric is paper thin and wrinkles easily.

Feels effortless yet chic. Was able to wear without a bra. Fairly cropped, but love it for summer.

Cute But Short with a lot of Width
They fit true to size, nice and high on the waist. They have so much extra fabric they produce they crazy width that feels almost absurd, but cute and dramatic if you just own it. I had to wear biker shorts underneath because you doula definitely see my full bum right up the leg very exposed opening.

Excellent Quality, Cool Neckline
Perfect for a Work conference. I felt like a sexy crew member of the starship enterprise. The neckline is really interesting. The fabric is excellent quality, on the heavier side. Doesn’t wrinkle easily. The only downside is the placement of the pockets at the widest point in the hips, making the dress sit wider than it needs to be at the hips.

Eye catching Pattern, Gaping in the Torso
I wore it, and got a lot of compliments. But there was gaping between the buttons all down the torso, and I’m not very busty. The fabric is lovely and surprisingly light weight, so it’s more of a spring dress.

Cute But Very Tight and Straight at the Bottom
The quality is good, love the puffy sleeves and open neckline. But it's very straight and tight on the hips and thighs. I didn't end up wearing it. Would be difficult to walk and sit in if you're curvier on the bottom.

I've rented the skirt in every color and I can't get enough. The fit is so high waisted and forgiving yet such drama. Very assassin chic.

It's a Dress. A Trench Coat. A Drench?
Very good quality, very chic heavy fabric that doesn't wrinkle. Super snatched at the waist. Very open in the slit when you walk. And very low-cut. I wore it to work with a lace Cami

Adorable, Size Down
This is a true size down item. I typically wear a 6 or 8 and even the four was roomy. But so cute. Very short on me, definitely had to wear leggings vs. tights.

Cute But Fussy
In true Reformation style, if it fits you, it's magic, otherwise it's fussy and awkward. The print was so cute, the sleeves are adorable, but they definitely require hem tape to stay up.

Snatched with No Stretch
These are true denim, no stretchy fabrics mixed in. They came up high enough on the waist that I was fine with that, they weren’t giving me muffin top, and they also held my booty in nicely. I wasn’t able to wear them with heels. I’m 5’7”. And the hem kept flipping up on the bottom, which is annoying. But very good quality overall a good jean.

Office Class with a Little Sparkle
This shirt was easy but extra. Felt comfortable wearing it to work then straight to cocktails. Of course it’s very sheer so plan to wear a Cami underneath unless you’re down with showing your full bra.

NYE Top
It's pretty cute, well-made. The fabric is fairly delicate. It's super revealing. I chose to wear something underneath. The shape is cute with the puckered shoulders and emphasized waistband and peplum skirting. The sparkle is just enough.

Just weird
I should've listened to the reviews. The top is just cut so weird. It's too bad because the fabric and the print are so beautiful, but it was unwearable.

Didn't do anything for me, the sleeves are tight
I didn't end up wearing it, it just wasn't cute on me. The elastic bands on the sleeves were tight and uncomfortable.

Very good quality, thick fabric
This top has a very nice weight to it, the fabric is really thick. It's very low cut, I chose to wear something underneath. The sleeves can be annoying because they're so wide. They'll get in your food while you're eating dinner and make it challenging to wash your hands and they're hard to stuff into a jacket. Otherwise, a very luxe winter top.

Not Great for Curves
The quality is great in the button details are really cool, but they weren't quite flattering. I wanted them to fit more like a high waisted wide leg sailor pants. Instead, they were more mid waisted and slightly cropped on me because I'm slightly curvy and slightly tall. I made it work.

Too Open in the Chest for the Occassion
Loved the dramatic sleeves and print. As expected the linen was fussy and needed to be ironed. The chest and upper torso opening would be great for date night or girls trip, but I was on a mixed group vacation and it felt too revealing for the context.

Because the fabric is ribbed, thick and luxe, it hangs nicely without clinging. Very classy. Would love this if it were more fitted at the waist.

Many compliments on this vibrant and sunny coral dress. Well suited for autumn skin pallets. The fabric is heavy and thick so it lays nicely. Stretchy and great for curves.

Don’t Know Why I Thought These Would Work
I wanted to go out on a limb and wear something extra cool for a concert. But they did exactly what I suspected they would, the opening just gave my love handles a space to pop out. Not cute. Didn’t wear.

Just Flawless
This top is chef’s kiss. The construction is beautiful. The embroidery is well made and so pretty. It was fitted enough to feel held in without a bra, but I wasn’t spilling out of it and it didn’t cause back fat. I wore it so many times and received compliments every time!

Perfect for a bridesmaid. Elegant, but won’t show up the bride. A little bit lower cut that I expected, but the built-in cups give nice coverage. I had to wear with 3 inch heels to make the length work.

So Cute, Chic and Simple
The fabric is thick and lays nicely. The gold button feels high end. The length worked for me, even though a lot of shorts and skirts tend to be really short on me. Loved this.

County Fair to Cocktail Affair
Somehow, this top was perfect for the county fair, or with a pencil skirt for a cocktail event. The asymmetrical gathering of the fabric is super high-end, subtle, and unexpected. It’s fairly cropped and a little bit shorter in the back, which I liked for showing off lower back. A very simple effortless way to feel chic. Rent it.

Very Good Quality, Pretty Pattern
The quality gave this top an elevated feel. The pattern is very feminine and pretty. It’s a little thick to tuck in, but I didn’t love where it hit right at the hip bone, so I preferred to tuck it in. I agree with the other reviews that the buttons are super annoying, especially if you have long nails.

Glam Sparkles
The gold metallic thread gave this some extra glam. Overall liked it a lot, was able to dress up or down. There was something a little strange about the waistband. I believe it is supposed to dip down on the lower back rather than sit straight across the waist. Unclear.

A real stunner, the strip dress fits so well. Showed off my curves without being too sexy. Was able to wear for a work event and keep it on the shoulder to be more conservative during the day. And off the shoulder for cocktail hour at night..

Giving “just stepped off my yacht.” Effortlessly chic and cool. Add some big sunnies and sandals and your ready for raw oysters and aperol spritz. It stenches a bit after wearing a few days but over all fantastic for summer.

So happy my bum didn’t hang out the back!
I often find that shirts are too short for me and my bum hangs out the back. These shorts were perfect without being awkwardly long. The super high waist is great too. My only complaint is that the two buckles plus zipper is a little fussy when you need to use the ladies room.

I guess I should have sized up but it was so tight and strange around my waist and hips, and the breast cups were droopy and I’ll-fitting. The color is so pretty but I wasn’t able to wear it.

Didn’t Fit the Same as the 1st Time I Rentef
I rented this top over the summer and loved it enough to rent it again. It seemed stretched out this time and didn’t fit as flattering. Instead of hugging my chest and looking lifted it looked saggy and shapeless. The fabric is super soft and comfy though.

Comfy, not restricting, wrinkly
It’s easy to wear, the ruching is flattering and I didn’t feel like I needed to hold my tummy in. The fabric is like a stretchy Oxford shift that wrinkles easily and doesn’t feel elevated. It’s more casual than I expected.
