Too short for the tall girls
Was hoping these would work based on the other reviews but they were too short on me and seemed to run a bit small

Too short for the tall girls
Really wanted to love it but it was just too short on me to wear out! Maybe sizing up would have helped because the top was snug

Cool jacket- not particularly functional and a bit boxy but it looks good!

Chic, snug fit
Elevated tank top. As someone without much belly to hide, the ruching is a bit much. I'm a size 10 and the large was very firm fitting.

I don’t get it
I don’t get it- the ties are weird up close and the neckline is too high. Before it’s tied, it’s huge, then the ties barely touched? Maybe it’s just not for me.

Not for me
I think my problem with this is it’s just not my style but it also has issues. It is very long but also seems to run a bit big- I’m 5’11 and I feel like I’m drowning in it. The slit being in the middle means it gets caught around your legs and the buttons don’t like to stay closed. Don’t recommend.

Nice fall basic
Nice mid weight fabric for fall layering. I couldn’t quite get the style of this right to make it exceptional but it’s a nice little dress for fall. It wasn’t too short on this tall girl but the proportions were a little off for me.

Loved them so much I bought them.
These fit like a glove! I’ve never had Paige jeans but these are cut like they were made for me. The 32in length is perfect for 5’11 me in this style, though would be a bit short in other styles Received NWT and kept them. Note, I have very little hips and butt to speak of so they aren’t built for a curvier body type!

A rare miss from DVF
I love DVF. I own a few of her wraps but this one is a miss for me. The top was just too low to be appropriate. The fabric is a bit itchy too. I would normally size up in a wrap but the way this gapes, I don’t think that would fix the issue. A disappointment!

Great classic wrap!
Great classic wrap dress. It is a true rap so you may need to slip or tape. It’s a bit low cut, but that didn’t bother me. it could probably be fixed by sizing up.

Runs big, heavy fabric
Liked the color. It was good for one wear. IMO, the fabric is too heavy and stretchy for the cut and the length is a bit awkward. Probably would have fit better if I sized down!

Lovely fabric, tight chest
I probably should have sized up because the chest was too tight, but the waist and arms fit great so idk. The fabric is soft and silky, felt good in it. Wish it had pockets!

Basic for work- not cut for tall
The material was not as expected- it’s kind of a heavy linen. The cut of the hip would be very flattering on someone shorter but it hit me a little high. Fine to wear to work once or twice but nothing special.

Loved! Long enough for the tall girls
I loved this! It has pockets! I actually think the shorts could have been a little shorter but it was so fun to wear. I’m between and 10 and 12 these days and the 10 fit perfect so it may run a tiny bit big.

Small on top
I really liked this but I have the same complaint as others- the top is just too small. My chest (38C) fit in it but the shoulders/back were narrow too so it still wanted to gape in front. Shame, I would have loved it if it fit!!

Lovely!
I had been wanting to rent this for awhile but didn’t have an event… until I realized it’s made of linen! That makes it much more casual. Wore it to a fairy garden themed baby shower. It is a bit sheer and cut straight so might not work for someone curvier.

This is not a skirt- it will not cover your bits if you move at all! I think maybe it could work as a cool layer over something else?

Would be 5 stars except for weird sizing, NSFW
Gorgeous fit through the waist and hips on my straight body type but absolutely no room in the bust! This would not work for curvy ladies. Wore to work once and could barely sit down because it is short and sheer.

Light and breezy- weird sizing
This was light and breezy- but the top was very oversized and I struggled to keep the bottom covering all my bits. The slit is too high for work. The inner skirt is a bit short and there isn't a good way to close the wrap to keep your leg covered enough.

Fun fabric, shoulder pads
The fabric is gorgeous! The rib cage was a bit small for an XL (I'm a 12 for reference) but it fit. I liked the plunge neckline but didn't appreciate that someone else's fabric tape was still on it. Minus one star for the shoulder pads, but I'm tall and wide so I never want shoulder pads. They might work for you!

Comfortable and chic! Basic but the detailed sleeves make it elevated. Wore it to work a lot! It is very long- mid calf length on in 5'10 me so may be too long on shorter ladies.
