Super fun print. I was surprised how light the material was since it had long sleeves. Not super warm but probably ok through the seasons.

Perfect Purple!
Love this jacket from Maje. Slightly tighter under the arms but ok fit. Has clasps to close or you can wear open. Color is the best. Eggplant!

Love the subtle sparkle and black onyx buttons!
This jacket looks so cute with black pants. The sparkle in the denim gives nice dimension too. Super fun! Derek Lam does it again. May have to buy this one!

Great pop of color
Fit was great. Fit large bust and not too clingy on the back either. Cute lettuce edge at sleeve and bottom. Didn’t seem to need cami underneath which surprised me!

Flattering and fun
I am excited to wear this on vacation. Bottom is appliquéd so it has fun profile. Sits just above natural waist and neckline very flattering on a larger bust. Skirt is a nice a-line and not too poofy.

Easy day to night resort look
This crochet dress was simple but had great shape and was light and easy to pack for vacation. It was a bit long for my 5’4” frame but will wear with more of a heeled sandal next time (wearing flats in the photo). I bought it!

Short waisted and sleeves too poofy
Pretty material but the sleeves were not flattering with a large bust. Short waist did not help either.

Ran small in shoulders and bust
This ran very small in shoulders and bust compared to other Derek Lam blazers. I usually am a 12 and could have used a 16 (14 still tight ).

Very long waisted
This was cute. Pretty basic but great for resort travel. It was so long waisted that I pulled it up so it looked more ruched. It would have been long otherwise height wise. That worked.

Great versatile dress for hourglass
My love affair with Derek Lam dresses continue! This was cute and comfortable for work. Bust was ever so slightly tight so I wore a tank under and kept mid buttons open one of the times I wore it.

Nice dress. A bit busy on my lower half?
Great print and nice for day or night. High slit on one side! Cute sheer sleeves. I have short legs so guessing tiers better on someone taller

Boring and straight
This dress was so-so. Material and pattern are a bit librarian. Skirt is straight (no a-line) so I didn’t find it flattering on my hourglass figure.

Not for super busty ladies!
This dress is very cute and unique. Unfortunately, the top would not zip by a lot as you can see in the photo. Bottom was a bit big. If you are a DDD, forget it!!

Fun & sassy summer dress!
Wore to Beyoncé concert with a jean jacket. Was fun and kept my legs warm with all the layers. It does not pack well (or small) so be prepared to steam it and then look slightly rumpled anyway an hour later. Straps seemed long and front felt slightly floppy so twisted straps into my bra strap which stabilized the top.

Beautiful print, sassy & comfortable
I wore this with a Jason Wu leather skirt (also RTR) and it looked great together. I did size down to an XL based on reviews and it was a good fit - fitted but not too tight. Double lined mesh and I added a black cami under for extra coverage due to my 50+ age- probably not needed for all. There is a short zipper at the back of neck, very comfortable and helps get over your head. Happy all night!

Sassy casual
Loved this skirt. Wore it with a scoop neck black top and black leather high tops. Got lots of compliments. Super comfortable. Waist runs a bit smaller than you would expect (compared to how much room I had in the hips).

Runs big, super cute - has pockets!
I was shocked when the 16 was too big in the bust - I swapped for a 14! Dress is super soft and lace detail on tiers is so soft and feminine. Fabric is a gauzy cotton so did not wrinkle.

Great fit, comfortable and not too long for shorter ladies
This fit true to size and accommodates a large bust. Very flattering and I was able to dance all night. Best part is I’m 5’3” and I could have worn flats if I wanted to! It was tea length and I did wear 2” heels which looked nice.

Really liked this dress. Wasn’t a great fit only because I am very long waisted and dress hit too high on waist to be flattering. But super cute cut on top and Chiara Boni scuba material is fabulous and comfortable.

Pants too long for petite
Cute pants, loved the zippers but I'm a petite length and they hit below the ankle so they looked strange on and they are designed to be cropped (I think). They were also super high in the waist that I felt I had to roll the waistband (which was surprising because I'm long waisted).
