Very cropped & odd fabric
I didn’t pay attention to the fabric so I assumed it was going to feel more like a cashmere tee. It’s also way too cropped to even wear with high rise pants. If you have a large bust this may not work for you!

Way too short!
I wish this dress were longer because it’s perfect in every other way. It’s comically short for being a shirt dress, I work in a pretty casual office but at 5’5” there is no way I could get away with this at work (nor would I want to).

Perfect for a summer black tie optional wedding
This definitely fit like a true 8, and I would have loved a little more room in the bust but it worked just fine! I also ordered a 10R and it was a little too loose at the top, and because I could wear the 8 without a bra or any tape/covers I went with that. The dress itself is gorgeous and I got so many compliments throughout the night. I hope I have another event I can rent this for. Only downside to this dress is that the straps are so thin they dug into my shoulders a little and after a humid July wedding they actually chafed my skin and left marks the next day.

Great black blouse, but tight in the chest
This is a great black long sleeve blouse to have in your rotation! I was going to dress it up with leather pants and a pair of black pumps... but unfortunately (like a lot of other Cooper & Ella tops), the bust is pretty tight. I've rented other tops in a medium before and they fit fine, but this one was just a little too constricting (for reference, I'm a 32/34 DDD). Otherwise a really cute top! Just enough detail to make it interesting.

Perfect crossbody to hold everything you need!
I LOVE this bag... I still haven't returned it and am debated buying it. It's the perfect size for me... it's large enough to hold a large wallet, sunglasses (plus case), keys, phone, battery pack, charger, and even a compact umbrella for one day when it was supposed to rain! I've gotten SO many compliments on it. In an ideal world, the strap would adjustable, but it happens to be the perfect length for me so I have no complaints!

Perfect dark wash jeans!
I ordered these not expecting to love the fit, but I was so wrong!! These jeans are TTS and so comfortable... they have just the right amount of stretch but don't seem like they'll get baggy throughout the day (haven't had them on long enough to tell).

Great fit & perfect length
I sized up one size from my usual denim size (which is how all Citizen's fit me) and they fit perfectly! I'm 5'5" and the length was perfect on me.

Perfect for a safari!
I rented this for a safari in Kenya and it was perfect! The fabric is so soft and the fit was great. I'm usually a medium but the small fit me well! It's also really cute for fall... but doesn't add any warmth so keep that in mind if you're looking to use it as a warm layer in the winter.

Sleeves are tight and don't have any stretch...
This dress is gorgeous, but I found the cold shoulder to be a little too open and felt it wasn't flattering. The body of the dress fit great, but the sleeves are tight and since the dress doesn't have any stretch I didn't feel like I'd be able to move around as comfortably.

Size up if you have a larger bust!
This top is really cute, and the only reason I didn't wear it is because the bust was just a little too tight. It fit me fine, but because of the sequins I found it to be a little uncomfortable since it was much more fitted than in the photo.

True to size, but size up if you have a larger bust
This blouse is a perfect day-to-night top... the v-neck isn't revealing and it's simple enough to wear at work and then swap out pants for a pair of leather leggings to go out! As I've found with all other Cooper & Ella tops, the bust tends to be a little tight, so I went with the medium (could be between small & medium).

Perfect oversized jacket for the fall
I love this jacket. It's definitely cuter when kept unzipped, so hopefully it isn't TOO cold when I wear it out some nights! The one I got still had the tags on and is in great condition.... the tag actually indicates that it's REVERSIBLE so I'm going to try it out that way, too! When reversed, it's the same color brown, but in a suede with the faux fur accent on trims (and has pockets on both sides, no matter which way you wear it!)

LOVE THIS
I LOVE this bomber! Most likely going to buy it.... it's so cute, comfortable, and just makes a simple outfit a little more put together. The medium fit perfectly, definitely true to size (although, sometimes I wear a Small in Joie tops...) but it has enough room to have a light sweater underneath. I would HIGHLY recommend this if you're looking for a cute fall jacket!

Not great if you have wider hips...
I really wanted to love these pants, but the placement of the front pockets made my hips look really wide so I didn't end up wearing them. Other than that, they are REALLY comfortable and a great alternative to jeans. I ordered one size larger than my usual size because I didn't want them to be too fitted, and they fit exactly as I hoped. If you're between sizes and have wider hips I'd definitely suggest choosing the larger size.
