So cute
This was adorable and so flattering I just never had a place to wear it. (Very low cut. I'd have had no problem wearing it to a bar or a party -- I just didn't have a suitable occasion. I'll probably rent again
Puff Sleeve Embroidered Top

Too big and boxy
I have loved other blazers from this designer but this felt like it was eating me. Maybe size down? It could just be the cut.

Cute!
I LOVED the detail on these. Good length for me (I have short legs for my height). They did kind of stretch out over the day.

Loved these
Great length for me (my legs are kind of short for my height) and super flattering cut (gave me a waist). Wore them a lot. Great structure: stretched a little with wear but not a ton.
Taylor Medium Blue Relaxed Barrel Jeans

Size Worn: 31
Usual Size: 12

Almost bought it
I am pretty long-waisted but this is very short. Super cute with high rise jeans but you will see your middle if you're at all tall and move your arms.
Gingham Emery Top

So cute, very flattering
I'm a pretty standard 12 these days (31 in jeans) and this was borderline tight (a little gapping on the buttons up top if I was sitting) but SO flattering. I wore it to an event at a country club and got a ton of compliments

Cute but not for what I needed it for now
The neck is VERY low so I needed an undershirt to wear (maybe I wouldn't on an evening out but the center of my bra showed at the bottom of the "V" -- i would either need a different bra or to just embrace it

Meh
I have other DL 1961 jeans in this size that I've kept for three cycles and have almost bought. I LOVE them. These just aren't that flattering on me. Different cut and a stretchier material.

Usual Size: 12

Not for me -- but I wanted it to be
I can often wear red but this wasn't a good one for me. The fit wasn't super flattering either. Maybe it was a styling error on my part. I wore it with jeans.
Red Terry Long Sleeve Polo Knit Top
Polo Ralph Lauren
Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 7"

Really cute, fit me a little weird
Seemed a little oversized / worn open the neck area kind of looked sloppy on me. That said, I worked it a LOT. A fun layering piece
Spot On Bomber Jacket
BLANKNYC
Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 7"

Great for going out
This is surprisingly flattering, especially if you layer a tank under it and a jacket over it. I was confident wearing it without a jacket as long as k has a tank under it. Wore it tucked into gray jeans (make sure they're not tight because you will see muffin top)
Sheer Lillian Turtleneck

Loved it
Might be a little oversized. I wore it with jeans and a t to the office. Really loved the colors.

So flattering
I got so many compliments on this when I wore it out for lunch with my aunt and cousins. It's very slimming (but could be a little clingy in the belly. The material doesn't hide a lot **BUT** the pattern does).

Size Worn: 14
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 7"

Bust: 38C
SO flattering
Be aware that these are button fly if that matters to you. I'm a pretty consistent L31 in Madewell. These got to be a little too big after a couple of wears but they're still looked good. They just fit differently: a little low on the hips vs fitted. I'm 5'7" but have short legs for my height and I love the length

I came thisclose to buying this. It’s just a teensy bit too big and I’m trying to keep my wardrobe lighter. The colors are great. I wore it to work, to Thanksgiving… Always with jeans.

Run very big
I couldn’t wear them. For reference, I’m a 31/32 in Madewell and generally a 14 (maybe a 12 or 16 depending on brand and cut). They’re really cute though! Would definitely wear them if they were smaller. I may try again in a different size.

This is enormous
The proportions just didn’t work on me. For reference, I’m anywhere from a 12 - 16 depending on how a brand sizes so in my mind an L/XL should work. And I’ve worn a Ganni dress that was either a L or XL before with great success. It wasn’t even that I could layer under it. The proportions felt weird. It’s cute in theory (definitely not for any kind of cold weather and it’s been cold in Boston this fall) but just think about the size.

Not for me
I didn’t like this **on me** It’s super fun, the fabric is gorgeous, but I am always uncomfortable in unstructured tops. It’s just not super flattering on my body and makes me look bigger (and I don’t have super nice shoulders).

I almost kept this. Looked great with wide legged jeans. Pretty short (but I have a long torso) and fitted in the waist.

Meh
I think the style just wasn’t for me. I would have worn it on vacation but the weather wasn’t warm enough, unfortunately. Very deep V (so prob not for work) and very short (though I have a long torso).

I almost kept these
But they were a smidge too big after a couple of wears. I have pretty short legs for my height so I wouldn’t even call these “cropped” on me, but I’m sure they are on others. Super flattering, especially with a smaller top.

Nice work blouse
The way this is constructed (there is like a panel in the front which makes for two fairly short vents right around your hip bones) makes any sort of front tuck look a little weird to my eye. But this is pretty and I would say true to size. I didn’t layer it, but would look great under a blazer or cardigan. I wore it with wide leg jeans.

I always have a weird time styling sweaters, but this looked cute with jeans. It’s pretty heavy/bulky. I would say it fit true to size.

Maybe size down?
I got this to maybe wear to a wedding. I was swimming in it and I just didn’t think it was flattering. Just felt like a lot of fabric. I got a 14 and that’s usually a pretty solid bet for me in a dress. (I also should know that light purple on ME just doesn’t do it for me.)

I am a Frame jeans fan. I own two pair (32s) in other cuts. The 31s were TIGHT on me (wearable as long as I wasn’t bloated haha). But great cut.

Surprise love!
I added this as a “spare” when I rented a bunch of stuff for a low key wedding. Didn’t think I’d love it. I loved it. I got so many compliments. Definitely need a steamer. It is so easy to wear and is kind of “tent-like” but the structure of the top keeps it flattering. (I am not a person who can do the whole “shapeless and flowy” thing. That makes me look bigger than I am. This did not.) I selected “just right” on the fit but was definitely very generous. It’s possible I could have sized down.
