Ordered large for a "cozy" fit....didn't quite work. Cute sweater though!
Ordered this through Unlimited. Had my eye on it, but I live in California, so a thick sweater like this is rarely needed. Went to Calgary for work and snagged this up, I was excited to get a chance to wear it! I wanted a baggy cozy fit to pair with skinnies and some ankle boots, so I ordered a large (I'm usually a medium). It wasn't roomy where I wanted it to be, but ended up being wide and really baggy under the arms. It was still cute and wearable, and my fault for taking a leap and ordering a larger size. However, my only complaint was it seemed stretched out at the wrists and waistband, basically the blue part of the sweater. Not in a "too big" way, either. The waistband had that wavy, stretched out look and the wrist area wasn't much better. Overall, I think a smaller size would have worked out better, the colors and patterns are amazing and fun, my boyfriend called it a Nintendo sweater and got a kick out of it. I would consider trying it again in a smaller size if I get a chance!

Pretty dress.
I liked this dress. Perfect length for my height. The only thing I didn't like was I had to go without a bra, which I don't mind, but the seams down the chest area gave it a "pointy" and slightly baggy look. It was still wearable and I would recommend. Maybe size down if you have a small chest.

One of my favorites!
I wanted to keep this. I wore this multiple times while I had it. It's wonderful for everyday with sandals. Belt it and put on some wedges or heels, it's great for that night out that doesn't have to be too fancy. It ran large, but that is the way it should look! The armholes were big though, so if you're petite, size down. All around great dress! I will definitely rent again.

Didn't wear, but tried on twice and loved it!
I didn't end up wearing this, but only because I didn't have anything to wear it to. Tried it on for a concert, but it was a little too daytime. My days were too warm to wear it. Trying it on a few times though, I loved it! I'm high waisted and have large hips and bottom, so jumpsuits are a little out of my comfort zone (they just don't fit right), but this fit great! It laid nice, wasn't too tight or too baggy anywhere. Would be a fun everyday pick! Highly recommend, especially if you're weary about trying a jumpsuit!

It's okay....
This is a pretty top. Nothing outstanding. The neckline is high (and I love high necklines)...but it's almost awkward, if you untie and loosen, it starts to look pirate-y, but it looks like something is off when it's all tied up too. I also think the waistband was tough for me. Being high waisted, it looked silly and poofy sitting at my waist, but the most natural spot for the waistband was more around my love handles, making it look like my hip area was my waist area, which is not the look I'm going for...ever. I made it work for a night out with coworkers, but had to tug on it and adjust it a lot throughout the night. That being said, it would look cute on the right shaped person (not a high waisted pear).

Loved this, wish I had somewhere special to wear it!
Adorable shirt you can dress up or down. I wore it hanging around with my boyfriend and am sad we didn't have plans that day! I gave it 4 stars only because: 1. It was pretty itchy. I didn't mind, I suffer for fashion, but definitely something to note. 2. Maybe I have a long torso, but I'm petite on top and it was a slightly awkward length. Between a loose shirt and fitted shirt, it sat right above my hips, just kind of an odd place for a shirt to sit. Otherwise great top! Might try a larger size for a longer, looser fit!

Loved this!
Perfect length, great pattern, wonderful dress. Modest while also eye-catching. I got a ton of compliments. Runs a little large but the cinched waist gives it a feminine shape. Look forward to renting it again!

Great dress!
This dress fits true to size and at 5'6" I was able to wear it with flats. The material is less clingy than I thought it would be and laid just right. I wore it twice for everyday errands and it was very comfortable. I have a small chest and was able to wear it with no bra. The adjustable neck seems like it would be good for all chest sizes. I am also a true pear shape, with a large bottom and large hips and sometimes have problems with no stretch materials and had no problems with the unflattering cling/tightness that sometimes ruins a dress for me. It's also fancy enough to play up for something nicer than everyday wear! A+

Fancy meets casual. Perfect.
When I removed this from the box I was skeptical due to the weight and amount of fabric. I wore this to a casual lunch in San Diego and fell in love with it. It actually looks like it has an oddly conservative V-neck that due to the weight of the dress, ends up being very low, so beware busty woman! I was able to wear a strapless bra comfortably though. The trapeze style is extra great because the weight of the material makes it hang beautifully (and very little wrinkles, yay!). This dress is beyond slimming if your "problem area" is your hips/thighs/booty. It showed off exactly what I wanted and tucked away exactly what I didn't want on display. Beware, this dress can catch a breeze and turn into a full on parachute. All around great dress, I'd love to keep it. Perfect if your weekend is full of delicious food that you don't want to pass up. A+++

Love!
Absolutely loved this dress. Perfect fit. Fun and different without being too flashy. Only downside is the bottom part will wrinkle easily, but that's understandable given the material. Great dress, A+.

Gorgeous shirt, great fabric, very pretty. More cropped than I wanted....
This shirt was great. Everything about it from the cut to the fabric to the fit. I didn't wear it only because it was more cropped than I expected and I didn't like where it sat on my body while wearing high waisted jeans. I really think it was just preference, otherwise great top!

Great dress if you're straight and narrow...otherwise it's tough.
Little stretch, so it ended up being ridiculously tight on my hips and bottom. I am a true pear shape, so it may not be a normal problem. It sees as though someone with a large chest would also have a problem with it. The dress is sheer, pocket placement is unflattering at the widest part of the hip and very noticeable under the sheer fabric. But on the hanger it was an adooooorable dress, I was sad I didn't get to enjoy it, but for the right person, I'm sure it can be a fun dress!

Fit was nice, good quality, pretty dress.
It was a nice dress, more of a fall dress than I had anticipated. The dress was pretty thick and more of a crochet than a lace. Also, I am pretty small on top, so be careful with the arms. It was wearable but the arms were tight, so if you're busty, broad shouldered, or carry your weight on top, maybe size up.

Cute jacket, a little more cropped than I was hoping.
I got the small, because I read it was a more boxy fit, but trying it on it was a little shorter than I anticipated. It ended at a weird spot on my waist, but that's not to say I wouldn't have made it work with the right outfit, it just got warm and I had no chance to wear it. Otherwise it was a cute jacket and nice quality.

Great dress!
Loved this dress! Flowy, great material, perfect length (didn't need heels at 5'6"). The only thing I'd say for busty girls is maybe size up as I'm not busty at all and it was almost tight in that area.
