tight tight waist
the waist runs very small. I’m usually an M/L and erred on the side of caution here but oof were these toit. didn’t end up wearing and will need to size up, shame bc the print is adorable and the length was pretty good

Super flattering, but odd chest situation
This dress fit really well everywhere except the chest area which was a little baggy unless tied very tightly - definitely need someone to help make it fit correctly and perhaps the right sticky bra? either way, i really enjoyed it for the a beachside welcome dinner

Absolutely loved this dress and got so many compliments- the slit is high but everything stays in place with no risk of over showing. Danced all night at a wedding in Costa Rica and stayed relatively cool despite the humidity

Definitely oversized
I know this is meant to be an oversized look but I sized down and was still drowning in this coat. Would recommend going 2 sizes smaller than your norm. It was also incredibly wide so it made me look massive, regardless of what I put under it - I am sure this coat has a time and place but I'm just not quite sure what that would be....

Big and Baggy
unfortunately it was way too hot to wear this, but even if it hadn't been i probably wouldn't have worn it- the fit was very odd with the top fitting fine but the bottom half being way too baggy and the crotch hitting too low for the waist to sit right

show stopper and a piece of art
i absolutely loved this top and got so many compliments but it is definitely true to size and i should have gotten a Medium. the large was fine but a little loose and i could slide it on without the zip. the back is elastic which help keeps it on and the sleeves just hang out which doesn't restrict movement or anything. definitely rent!

incredible color and great fit
these pants were such a beautiful color and can be dressed up or down. They aren't lined so the eyelets let in a nice breeze which makes them great for warmer weather - and the quality is really nice as well. they were a little long on me (hit just above my ankle) but still loved them

V Cute but TTS
loved the pattern and overallreally liked this outfit but it ended up being very form fitting (think bodysuit vs jumpsuit) - and a bit tighter around my arms. It is definitely true to size though, or at least true to size w/o the COVID fluff.........will probably rent again in the fall

Warm, thick and cozy - but heavy as heck
This is a perfect sweater for winter and is the epitome of cozy, especially if you run cold and want to border on overheating. I ordered an L and should have gotten an M - the sleeves were a little long and I had to roll the collar twice to not look like a turtle. It is boxy, but that is expected for a chunky knit - would recommend!

Super Stylish Mechanic Vibes
This was a great jumpsuit for being out and about everyday and lounging around the house. The fit was great, and hit my waist perfectly - one pieces are hit or miss on my 5'5 high-waisted frame, but this was spot on and accentuated the right places with the elastic+ tie. The print made me so happy and is perfect for spring, it also elevated the look so that it wasn't too utilitarian (although my husband did ask me to change the oil in the car multiple times). Would totally buy this if I could!

Cozy, warm and stylish
This was a great alternative to the black puffer that is usually my winter staple especially with the weather being so weird (cold-ish but not cold enough for a parka?) It was a good length, maybe a little long for my 5'5 frame but overall a really solid coat

This was laughably large and unflattering
So I love a good oversize fit but this coat took that to a whole new level. It was boxy and just massive for a OS fit. There was no structure and made me look 2-3 times larger than reality -not great.

Tight around the hips and waist
I wish these pants fit but the waist was a TTS and the fits around the hips was just not flattering, maybe better for women who have a flatter backside? The velvet was really nice quality though, and the color was a really nice deep blue- may have to try another size up

great monochrome flannel and incredibly warm. It does run large so next time I will have to size down but it works if you like an oversized look, or maybe tie the front.

Super sexy dress and beautiful color
Ok so this dress puts a lot on show but if you own it, you'll feel so sexy and it's surprisingly comfortable. It's backless and has a deep cut front so make sure you are prepared with some fashion tape. The slit was a liiiiitle high for my liking which caused me to keep adjusting throughout the night. Also the material was stretchy and soft, almost like a Jersey, but still looks v formal. Loved it but maybe wouldnt wear to a corporate event again....

Very flattering and versatile
This skirt was a surprise rent for me as I wasn't sure about it on the hanger but as soon as I tried it on I was in love. It runs a little large (I'm usually an 8 in bottoms) so I'm glad the 10 was available. As with all silk, it can cling, and watch out when sitting down or crossing your legs because the way it drapes can show a good bit of thigh if you're not careful. Overall will rent again!

Such a fun alternative to a blazer and WARM
I picked this up at the SF flagship store and grabbed it as soon as I saw the woman wearing it return it. The color is gorgeous and the details on the collar and cuff give it a kind of casual bomber jacket feel. CAUTION: it is a bit snug on the arms, so layering is hard but it's warm enough that you will be fine with a light shirt or tank underneath even in chillier temps

This duster was EVERYTHING - such a standout piece, so many compliments!
This is such a fun pattern and even though it's a floral it is dark enough to wear in the winter and not be an eyesore. I took this duster from everyday in Boston to an awards ceremony in LA to a work trip in AZ and it worked for every occasion

So Warm and Soft! Wouldn't stay closed though...
This is a great coat but the clasps don't work very well so don't count on it staying closed. The color is a beautiful periwinkle blue and is so warm that even in the Boston cold I could get away with just a light sweater underneath

Adorable and comfortable, perfect for an oversized throw on
This sweater made me smile every time I wore it, even my husband laughed the first time he saw it. The little grump is a serious mood that I think everyone can identify with in some way. Very warm but a bit baggy, so I might go a size down next time

So flattering! Perfect for work but also a great dress just to throw on for the weekend
This dress was great for my work trip to Australia, it was casual and light enough for the warm summer weather, but the button up / collar look made it still professional enough. It is a very light, silk material so it does wrinkle but it steams easily enough and the tie front hides a lot. I was worried that it was going to be confusing to wear based on other reviews but it's pretty straight-forward to tie (just take the two corners and tie together) and then adjust based on the look you are going for.

LOVED this dress! Easy to throw on, incredibly comfy and looks super polished
This dress gave me life! The only reason I sent it back was because it got too cold out and it is definitely more of a summer / fall /spring look. It was perfect with fancy flats for work and great dressed down with leather boots for a night out. I have muscular arms so the sleeve buttons didn't close, but it was barely noticeable, especially since you can cuff them which adds a kind of color blocking look. NOTE: the dress is a thin so you definitely need nude undergarments or a slip.

Runs small, Boobs Beware
Cute dress and very flattering but definitely better for women with small chests, I have a B cup and the girls and I were having trouble breathing. It might have been to the dress being a bit tight, even though I ordered an 8R and am usually a 6/8. Going to size up next time...

Great summer dress but v low cut- sticky tape is a necessity
This was a super comfy wrap dress and the color was beautiful. After looking at reviews, I ordered a size down and I'm glad I did, the M would have been way too large. Warning- this is a very low cut dress and even though I have a smaller chest, it definitely needed sticky tape to keep it from gaping and letting the girls out.

Great fit, misleading color
This dress ran true to size and could even be cinched In a bit thanks to the tie waist. I loved the relaxed shape and sleeve but unfortunately it was much more brown than in the picture, almost like a toffee as opposed to the orange I was hoping for. It was too close too my skin tone and coloring so I opted to send it back. Oh- also it came wrinkled so you would probably need to steam it if you were wearing for a nicer event

Great Dress for Summer Wedding
This was an overall great dress, light and easy to move and dance in but the straps and chest of the dress fell a bit oddly to the point where you definitely need double sided tape to prevent anything from.. slipping, especially around the underarm/chest area. I have a pretty small chest and when I sat down the dress would gape and so I had to make sure everything was pulled very tightly, to the point where it was a little uncomfortable. That being said the wrap component did accentuate my waist and curves which was a plus.

Beautiful dress for an outdoor wedding
I will say that I was worried before trying this dress on because the straight shape of the dress didn't look like it was going to do my curvy frame any favors, but luckily it fit great and ended up lengthening me instead of making me look like a sack. Would definitely recommend tape for the bust to prevent the right side from slipping down, as it can be a bit loose even with the strap tied tightly. Also, definitely order a size down. I am usually a M but ordered a S after reading reviews and I am glad that I did. Overall very nice, light dress for a casual wedding
