Bought them
Loved that they were not too low rise. I have slim hips and the low rise maternity jeans just slide off me without a belt - these stayed on.

Comfy - sized up
I have a larger chest and was able to size up so that it wasn't too tight, but everything else fit fine. Comfy enough for the beach but nice enough for the office with a blazer over it.

My girls are on the big size, but omg were they on display in this dress. I couldn't wear it. Otherwise, super comfy fabric and good fit. Don't recommend if you have a larger chest.

Don't size up!
I like my blazers a little big, and I was sizing up for pregnancy anyway. Mistake! I was swimming in this blazer. Maybe size down? Too big to wear.

Very comfy
Super soft and comfy blazer. I sized up for pregnancy and it worked well. Didn't come to me very wrinkly and didn't get super wrinkly after 1 day of wear.

Wore dresses down with jeans for a wine tasting. Tried it with the matching skirt. It was very nice, just didn’t wow.

Great bag
Good size, has 2 large pockets and one small pocket. Can fit a ton of stuff in here without it looking over-stuffed. Comes with a thin strap to turn it into a cross body bag. Almost bought it but the color didn't work as a staple piece with the rest of my wardrobe. Love bembien's bags!

Too cropped
Normally cropped styles work really well for my body since I have a high waist. This was much too cropped and the proportions looked wrong with the large sleeves. Also very annoying to put on. Not for me.

Very comfy
These have lots of room and turned into my comfy pants during my trip home for the holidays (read between the lines: these were my jeans for big meals!). They still felt stylish and fun. Size down if you'd rather them be a little more true to size!

I sized up and it was still extremely cropped. Also the neck didn't lay super nice, my though was because it was a little tighter

Pretty fall dress
It's too thin and has a slit too high to be comfortable in the winter. The satiny metallic print is too dark for spring. It's rather low cut so I ultimately didn't feel comfortable in it. Hard to wear but beautiful!

Super comfy and perfect wool blend for winter
Not too hot and not too cold. I would've bought it if it didn't have that problem where, under a coat, the arms are annoyingly bunched. So, not a sweater that you want to wear under a coat.

Beautiful work of art
The tie is a beaded tassel and the arms have detailed rouching. However, much like all wrap dresses I was unable to get this to sit right on my larger chest. Disappointing! A size up and the arms would've been too long.

Versatile
It went well with everything - dressed up or down. I would’ve bought it if it had feet. Without the feet it seemed steep for the price. It’s made out of some kind of recycled leather and comes in many colors. It was a little weird in that it is made up of 2 magnetic closure pockets that just barely fit a sunglasses case. You can’t carry much in this purse but it was enough!

Not for girls with big chests
Cute, although it felt cheap. If you have a bigger chest you’ll know what I mean when I say the triangles didn’t cover quite enough, and then with the see through shirt you could totally tell. Unflattering fit.

Couldn’t make this work
I sized down per recommendations and it was no longer boxy (bummer, I wanted boxy) and it hit in all the right places. However. It was SO low cut. I had intended to wear this as a top with no undershirt, but I really would need to wear a tank to not be a little revealing for my tastes (and I don’t hate a little cleavage). I would probably keep my usual size and enjoy the boxy look, but hey, maybe that would be even more low cut.

Nice top, hard to pair with anything
I got this top and matching skirt as an option for an engagement party. I loved the fit and material of the top, but it doesn’t look great with any bottoms I have and also didn’t work with the skirt IMO. Wish it was more versatile. It’s a little tooo nice for jean shorts.

Not for large chests
I loved the fit and fabric of this dress, but I hate when they’ve designed the chest to have separate stitching around “where your boobs should go.” That design looked absolutely ridiculous on me so I wore a sweater over it.

Really warm and well made coat. I sized down from L to M and was STILL swimming in it. Was also rather long for my frame.

Surprised how much I loved it
It took me a minute to appreciate the bag, but in the end I loved it. Not something I think I’d like to own but super fun for a summer. Perfect size (big enough for a small sweater without being too big), a little stylish, and easy to open and close.

Not for ladies with high waists
I didn’t realize from the pictures, but there is elastic in the back. If you have a high waist, that elastic is going to pull up the shorts and look pretty unflattering no matter what you do. Otherwise loved the pattern and fabric. I have a larger chest and it looked fine to wear braless.

Not for ladies with large chests and narrow rib cages
Pretty typical for me: some crop tops often turn out looking like bras since there’s not a ton of fabric. Also should note that there is elastic in the back making it more bra-like if you have a large cup size. Cute otherwise!

Fit just right
Love this dress except for it being polyester makes it feel a little cheaper. Hit me at all the right places and had me swishing around - made me feel great! The neck strap was fiddly though and took me awhile to get it right. Would be easier with some help, but once you set it it’s done.

Luxurious
Wow this hit at all the right places. The built in corset made my chest look great, too. Fully lined and the fabric was thick. Overall a little more formal than I expected, especially as it was a little longer on my 5’5” frame.

Uncomfortable
The fabric was a little scratchy and the side zipper was pretty obvious as it was bright white against the pink. Straps were a little loose as I have a high waist. Fun dress, just not as high quality as some of the other dresses at the same price point.
