Duvet cover chic
Really cute. The hem is twisted on purpose and it wrinkles easily. Feels like you're wearing a bedsheet. But overall it somehow works

Too stiff and asylum-like
Weird fit, super stiff fabric, looked like a straight jacket

Too big/wide
I wanted to love these but they were too huge and genie like. Maybe a medium would have worked better. They are otherwise great - the fabric is awesome.

Too oversized
I love an oversized blazer but should have trusted other reviewers who said this was comically oversized. And I sized down to a M! Would go down 2 sizes.

Tailored and flattering
I'm loving Veronica Bears and this blazer (shirt? jacket? Vest with sleeves?) was no exception. Super flattering, tailored look. Good for work. Also note: a tiny bit of baby blue in it. True to size

Loved but weird pockets
I loved the fit and material of this, but the pockets stick out on the sides. Not the end of the world but enough to be annoying and widen the hips.

Not sweatpant-like!
Didn't end up wearing these because I had thought they were terry material, like lounge pants. The material is actually stiff and a little odd, and I didn't like the fit enough to wear them out into the world.

Way too short, even with tights
I', 5'7 and am a pretty solid size 8 in most dresses so I got a size L in this dress to be on the safe side. It was so short when I tried it on it was unwearable - even with tights, and even to go out (not just for work) in. My butt was basically hanging out of it.

Way too wrinkly, didn't wear.
I thought this top was going to be silky, but I should have looked at the photos and read the reviews first. I didn't wear because, while generally a cute top, the fabric is a structured/thick cotton that WOULD NOT UNWRINKLE. After way too long with a hand steamer I gave up and threw it back in the RTR bag. PS, the tie neck will NEVER sit like it does in the model photos because it isn't that wide.

Great twist on a classic white top.
This top did not have the relaxed fit shown on the model, but it was still flattering and wasn't too tight. I love the woven overlay - it adds a cool twist to a basic white top and some texture. Top could be dressed up (I wore to work) or down, super versatile. I may buy it!

White Geo Lace Overlay Top
VINCE.
Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 7"
Bust: 36C
Pretty pattern with weird sleeves.
The pattern and fit of this top are perfect. I love the small polka dots and cinched tie waist. What ruins the shirt is the sleeves - I actually didn't realize the sleeves were slit all the way down the middle until I received the top. When standing the sleeves are okay, but your entire arms hang out when sitting and it just looks unintentional, like you ripped them by accident. I'm all about putting twists on basic tops, but this one just didn't land and felt really awkward.

Pretty but wrinkles easily.
This dress fit very well - these days I'm in between an 8 and a 10, but the 8 fit great and was very flattering on curves. The ruffles on the neckline and arm holes are a pretty, feminine touch. The biggest issue with this dress is it wrinkles SO easily, so if you're sitting down in an office setting and get up to go to a meeting, the entire front will be filled with creases that won't go away, which makes it look sloppy.

Spring Ruffle Dress

Great lightweight blazer.
Such a great, lightweight blazer. The material is a thinner crepe that's really easy to wear and is not very structured. The pattern was trendy, but also worked at my conservative office. It covered my bum so I could wear thick ponte leggings at work, which is a general win in life. Love this and might buy it!

I need to buy this dress.
This was the first thing I wore when starting my unlimited membership and I was hooked. This dress is SO cute and flattering, I need to buy it. The length was office appropriate but not matronly. The bell sleeve adds a trendy touch to the traditional black-and-white color scheme. The material is a little bit stretchy, but thick enough that it is still really flattering. A girl at my spin studio followed me out of the locker room in a towel to ask me where it was from - it garnered those kinds of reactions all day! LOVE.

Cute and comfortable dress for fall.
This was my first infamous DVF wrap dress I've worn. It fits well, is flattering (even with some extra mid-section lbs), and the color/pattern is beautiful. The sleeves are pretty long - I love a long sleeve, but ladies who are shorter than me may be swimming in them. May be a little low on the chest for the office, I had to keep adjusting it because I don't like wearing camis. Overall, I liked it and got a bunch of compliments.

Nice dress for work.
I wore this dress to work. In the beginning of the day it was really flattering and bouncy (the material has a little bit of stretch and is a type of knit...but not exactly a sweater dress). By the end of the day, though, I couldn't wait to get it off because it had stretched out and the back was just kind of hanging down over the slip on the inside of the dress. Best if wearing for shorter periods of time!

Super cute blazer!
Wore this blazer for work and got a bunch of compliments. Good fit. The black piping makes it feel trendy and is a nice contrast to the blue material on it, which looks a little bit like the cheap blue carpet in my finished basement growing up. Without the piping, it would be a little matronly. Regardless, I still loved it!

Way too structured for an oversized sweater.
I didn't end up wearing this because it was just too consuming. I love things that run large and slouchy, so I was really excited for this sweater. When I put it on, it is SO large and boxy - the fabric is way too structured for how large it is. I looked like a linebacker and my boyfriend agreed. I was disappointed - it was much more boxy on me than it appears on the model. Love the idea of it though!

Reese did good.
I got so many compliments on this dress (from Reese Witherspoon's line)! The colors and pattern are adorable and the shape is super flattering. I could have probably gone down a size, but the 8 was a good fit for work. Will probably rent again for wedding showers, etc, in the future. Bonus: the full skirt means you can eat without worrying about food babies.

Love this jacket!
I got so many compliments on this. The fit is a little bit relaxed, but the silky material seems luxe and expensive (which it would be!) and the pattern adds some fun to an otherwise mundane outfit. It was long enough to cover my bum a little bit so I could wear skinnier pants at my conservative office. Absolutely LOVED.

Love this jacket.
The pattern gives off a cool-girl vibe, but it is conservative enough for my law firm office. The sleeves were fitted but the rest of it was long and relaxed. It covered my bum so I could wear thick ponte leggings at work, which is always a win. Will probably rent again!

In between a coat and a blazer.
I can't really figure this jacket out, but I like it. The color is great. The material is definitely more substantial than a blazer (like wool on a peacoat) but for very chilly weather it wouldn't be enough. I wore this in October in New England inside my chilly office all day, and it was great. Really flattering and trendy.

Great color, silhouette, and material - but runs small.
This dress is a beautiful color and is made with thick crepe-like material, which is very flattering and feels high quality. I like the scalloped slit detail, though I felt I had to wear opaque tights at my conservative office. The dress runs small (I usually have plenty of room in a size 8 and it was very body-hugging), but the cut is so flattering that it didn't really matter much that it was a little tight in the midsection. Plan to wear to a bridal shower as well.
