Perfect minimal chic bag
Beautiful minimal chic bag for daytime events or nights out. The neutral beige color is gorgeous in person, the leather is really nice and luxe feeling, and the shape is fashion-forward and unexpected without being too much for me. Everyone asked where I got it. Plus it's super comfortable to wear... not to mention HUGE inside! Seriously, it's big enough for a full size wallet, cell phone, keys, sunglasses, notebook, small makeup bag, maybe even a thin scarf or sweater! Only possible downside is that it's so roomy I sometimes found myself digging around to find stuff. The magnetic clasp took some getting used to, and depending on how you're holding the bag when you open it things can fall out fairly easily (although it's very secure when closed). But other than that, this one's a keeper! If it wasn't so expensive, I *definitely* would buy.

IN LOVE
All I can say is WOW. This blazer is a total knockout, and everywhere I wore it people stopped to tell me how amazing it is (one friend even told me I "look like a painting"). Would give it 25 stars if I could. I normally dress very simply and casually, so it was awesome to have this gorgeous piece to throw over my jeans and plain t-shirt to immediately elevate the look. I'm a 4/6 with narrow shoulders and a pear shape and the S was a great fit, perfectly oversized without looking sloppy. Perfect for dinner outdoors in LA as the summer weather turned to nippy night air. I almost bought it, it's so good, but am restraining myself and renting another flashy blazer this month instead. Will *definitely* rent this one again, maybe for the holidays (if we're back to doing parties again). LOVE LOVE LOVE.

Perfect party dress for when you want a little attention!
I wore this on my birthday last month and felt like a million bucks. It carried me from an outdoor brunch friends to my "Paris Party" at home with my husband and kids. I felt fancy and comfortable and got compliments from everybody. The shape was fun and flattering without being restrictive (hello elastic waist!), the fabric was slinky and substantial without being too hot for a late LA summer, and the pattern was eye-catching (but in my favorite color palette--simple black and white). If you're thinking about renting it, DO IT! I'm a 4/6 with a short torso, narrow shoulders, and a big booty, and the S worked great for me. If you have a longer/broader top or bigger boobs and are between sizes you may want to size up, as the waistband is high and the arm holes are small.

Beautiful, but too low cut for my short torso.
I have a very short torso and high-set boobs, so even though the neckline isn't really all that low, it was too low for me to wear without my entire bra gore showing. The material and fit were FABULOUS, and the texture made it feel so luxe. And the gold color was perfect on my pale olive-ish complexion, where most yellows wash me out. I absolutely loved it. I'm a 4/6 with narrow shoulders and a pear shape (so a lot of blouses catch on my hips) but the S was spot on. If you have any sort of seamstress ability you could probably tack or tape the neckline, but I was afraid of damaging the fabric. I *really* wish I could have worn it.

Fun dress, a little much for me though. And the beaded tassels made it tough to wear around my kids so sadly it had to go back.

Very cute but super small!
Beautiful bag, high quality leather, but way too small for me. Yet somehow I kept losing even the few things I could fit in there. If you don't travel with much more than a change purse, key fob, and tiny phone, you're probably fine, but I need something a little bigger.

Okay, nothing special.
It was ok for casual wear, but I found it to be nothing special. The material felt cheap, the arm holes were enormous, and the ties on the shoulders were a bit bulky for my small frame. I'm also not pregnant, though, so perhaps I needed something a bit more tailored my shape.

True to size, just too small for me.
Too small everywhere and the asymmetrical too had some weird upper boob visibility I was not comfortable with. Sadly I couldn't wear it.

Top portion is HUGE.
I rented for a formal event and the look was great, skirt and waist fit beautifully, but the top was enormous. Would not stay on my shoulders (and no lingerie straps to help). If you are bigger on top or broader in the shoulders this would work well for you, just not for me.

I may never return it...
I wore this constantly. To dinner, to the theater, on a date, and for a job interview (and FYI I got the job!). I get nonstop compliments every time I put it on. It's so flattering, so chic, so well-made, and so easy to wear. As a larger-size woman it's often difficult to find oversized/boyfriend style garments that don't make me look schlumpy, dumpy, or enormous. But this one is absolutely perfect. My favorite way to style is over a blousy silk shell tank with a slim pair of jeans or black ankle slacks, and some super polished oxfords or loafers (although heels would be great too). SUCH a winner!

I wanted to love it...
I so wanted to love this (my husband loved it on me!) but in order for it to drape properly I needed a double spanx and it still looked painted on in a way that made me super uncomfortable. I'd say if you've got a long torso and narrow hips this would be a great cut for you, but it just didn't work for me.

FAVORITE BLOUSE!
I absolutely love love loved this blouse I wore it 8 or 9 times in the few weeks I had it, and alway got compliments. I wore it to parties, to a lunch date, on New Years Eve, and to an interview. It killed every time and I felt like a million bucks. Incredibly flattering cut nipped in at the waist without being tight, and fluttered around my hips, breaking in exactly the perfect spot. Seriously, I wish I could have kept this forever.

Fun party blouse!
This is a pretty square cut blouse that runs large in the shoulders and arms, as other reviewers said. But because I'm pretty hippy (and short-waisted), things tend to pull around my midsection and thighs so I did order my usual size and I'm glad I did. It hung *almost* perfectly although I was still a bit self-conscious of some almost imperceptible tightness towards the bottom. I felt great in it and got compliments all night--but do beware you'll need a racerback bra or one with narrower straps or else it'll show in the cold shoulder.

Fantastic, super versatile blouse!
I rented this for a Thanksgiving dinner option, but have already worn it to a meeting and out to drinks (and I've had it for 2 days). It's definitely on the large side of the size 12 range, but I like how it drapes. depending on your shoulder width I would consider sizing down. I have unlimited, and I intend to keep this blouse throughout the holiday season as it works equally well for a business event in the day (with slacks and flats) as it does in the evening with party pants and heels. The color is rich and elegant, the fabric is comfortable and easy to wear, and I just really, really love it!

Absolutely gorgeous but beware static cling!
I'm in love with this blouse, unfortunately can't wear it as they only had a 10 and I'm a true 12, so it was just too small. Also, the static cling was out of control coming out of the plastic, so beware if you live in a cold climate or plan to wear under a jacket or coat! Otherwise, the colors are fantastic, the sleeves are to die for, and the shape is heavenly. Hopefully I'll have a chance to rent in my size and wear it around!

Beautiful, and runs large all over except for the arms
Beautiful dress!! I rented for Thanksgiving and can't wait to wear it. My husband absolutely went gaga when he saw me in it. I'm a true L/12 in dresses but have narrower shoulders and much wider hips, so I ordered down a size like all the reviews suggested. It fits perfectly on my torso, and drapes well over my bottom half, but is just a touch snug in the upper arms. So just beware if you do size down and you have fleshy arms, this may be an issue for you too. Nothing anyone but me would notice though!

Do not order a size down!
I'm a true 12 in dresses, but ordered a size down as some reviewers recommended that if you were smaller on top (which I am) it would be a better fit. I'm pear shaped, but it was too small all over and didn't drape well on the bottom half. Other than that, I love it, it's gorgeous, and I intend to re-order one size up for a holiday party we're going to this season!

Wish I could have worn this--I loved the fabric, pattern, and fit. But the neckline is super low--opened down below my bra.

Pretty and unexpected
This was a great bag, and an interesting detail to add to my pre-spring wardrobe! Unfortunately it arrived a little crumpled (it came unstuffed so I imagine it got banged around a lot in the mail) so it lost some of its shape, but I guess that is to be expected with previously worn rentals.

Gorgeous, but huge!
I am a size 10/12/L in dresses, but the reviews all said size down so I took a M. It draped beautifully but gaped in the arm holes and chest, and I probably could have worn a Small! But overall it didn't make a big difference--the fabric was light and breezy, it was super flattering , and a lot of fun to wear!

Great for cooler weather
Loved this for chillier LA nights. Looks great layered over jeans and a T-shirt or a simple dress for a more formal occasion. I found the shoulders a little too broad for me, though.

Cool, chic, and comfortable.
Wore this to an industry event with skinny black jeans and ankle booties--got compliments all night. The fit was fabulous. I'm "hippy" so it can be tough to find blouses that don't pull, but this one was slimming and skimming in all the right places. It's a statement piece for sure, so keep the rest of the look simple.

Classic, elegant, and unexpected. But beware the NuBra!
I wore this to a premiere and LOVED it. It's so simple and classic, but the split back and bow at the neck adds an unexpected element that is really special and subtly sexy. It does run on the small side, and the material is unlined and has no stretch, so if you're between sizes or have fuller hips/thighs I definitely recommend sizing up. And be warned that you'll have to wear some kind of adhesive bra as the open back leaves nothing to the imagination. I'm very busty and definitely felt less supported than I am usually comfortable with, but it was worth it. If you're more flat chested you could probably get away with pasties or something.
