Slim fit in the arms and bust
Loved the color, and loved power clashing with my purple banana suit. The bias cut is novel and interesting. The pattern match at seams and placket is spot on. This blouse is probably more flattering on a different body type. It gapped quite a bit and was tight in the arms. The bias cut plaid accentuates the shoulders - a little too much for me since my shoulders are already broad. I loved the color so much that I would definitely size up and rent again and pair with my red suit.

Looks great on!
Was a desperate last pick because I badly wanted the other items I had chosen. Turned out to be the pick of the parcel. Fits nicely and is comfortable. Keyhole detail in the front is interesting and keeps it from looking dowdy. Goes with almost every suit I own. Including this pink/purple from Banana. (Fantastic photo from a Zoom call.)

Festive!
I wore with red pants for a distinctly Valentine vibe in November. There’s a bit of sparkle in the red that makes it a little dressy. Fit is perfect. I’m sure it would be cuter in February. Didn’t show a whole lot of belly even in bathroom backwards selfie position. Another fantastic photo by yours truly - the only one I took was to see if my braid was weird-looking. It was.

Fun, toasty warm, foofy.
Fluffy! Beautiful purplish-Navy. Fit perfect in shoulder and arms - had extra room in the chest. Found ourselves in a snowstorm, husband asked, “Is that the only coat you have?” It was, and I was nice and warm. Wore with my bougee sister’s bougee velvet pants and a $9 sweater from Target. Felt like a boss day and night. (Sadly, no decent photo.)

Women love it, men hate it.
This arrived with a big pull (and several small pulls.) That said, all my female friends loved it, my husband hated the color. I am the only woman on my team at work and there were side glances and eye rolling. What I am wearing is just the tip of the iceberg and time's up.

A little loose is better than a little tight.
I was overly optimistic when I chose the 10. I can fit in it, but the belt lies funny when it's working too hard.

Wrap is not for me.
This dress is so comfortable. I had to wear a cami - I sat down and could nearly see my navel. Does wrap actually work for anyone? I've just never had one stay marginally modest and I am going to stop trying.

Tight in upper thigh.
The upper thigh was tight and cut off the circulation to my legs. The length was good, but the jeans were beaten up at the bottoms of the legs.

Not great for sitting in...
This isn't a great skirt for sitting in. The skirt opens up when seated, and if you roll around in your chair, the long asymmetrical side will get stuck under your chair's wheels.

Really flattering!
I didn't expect this to look as good as it does! I might even say I looked svelte. Really accentuates the waist.

I feel pretty, and comfortable, and I have pockets!
I rented a 10 (and an 8 as a totally unrealistic backup) because there was no 12 available. I wasn't optimistic because my wide shoulders, healthy guns and generous back yard don't add up to a size 10. This dress didn't care about my shoulders, biceps, hips or thighs - just rib cage and bust. I'm 33" around the bra-band region and the size 10 fit well. The size 8 fit and zipped also, but smashed my boobs a bit. I bought and wore a torturous sticky bra thing because on me anyway, a regular bra would have shown in both the front and the back. Even though the fabric was thick enough that none of my bits would show through, I'm over 50, and a little lift and shape was in order. I went to a fancy gala with my sophisticated sister. I'm not at all comfortable with "fancy" or "gala" and just the idea of celebrities, wealthy and powerful people, and the outrageously good-looking made me feel like I was going to vomit. This lovely dress made me fit in just fine, and I was comfortable enough to talk to some very smart, interesting (and yes, outrageously good-looking) people. And pockets! In one pocket: my own cell phone, lip balm, hotel key, pair of socks, cash, credit card and charging cable. In the other: my sister's cell phone, lip gloss, and a pair of courtside tickets to a Warriors game won in the charity auction. Apparently, you can't actually fit anything in a Judith Lieber clutch, even if you could remember where you put it.
