Of all my pieces this month, this was my favorite, but it was (even after discount) a little too pricey to justify. Still, I love wearing this with jeans, pairing it with under Ts in complementary colors. It was really a cool, updated way to dress casually. And I'll be on the lookout for similar pieces in the future. Loved wearing this.

It is very youthful, fun, flirty and very cute and I looked fine in it. I will say it's critical to pull and tie those drawstrings to hug your waist and create the silhouette, otherwise the shirt just looks square and hangs on you. Someone else said something true -- it's best to wear something close-fitting like tight jeans or slim skirt with these. Whatever's on the bottom needs to be sleek because the ruffles are so busy.

Great quality fabric, with a little give, and the pattern was detailed and precise. Loved it. The fit in the crotch are (for me) was a little weird. Though the entire pant fit okay through waist and hips and though the thighs, there was to much extra material in the crotch area, even when standing. I'm not sure what that means about the construction, because it seems to be a high quality piece. Everyone thought these were fun and I should buy, but the fit was, in the end, too off-putting for me.

Great pop of color and though a little large on me, not so much that it didn't look good [If should have gotten an XS; I'm 5'9", 125 lbs, B cup.] The pleat-like panels at the bottom provide movement and a tailored look at the same time. I wore it under a suit once and as a top with jeans another time and both were spectacular.

High quality satin-like (not shiny) fabric falls gracefully from a perfectly cut kimono wrap. Absolutely loved how I look in this, got so many compliments on this top and my boyfriend loved it. There is only one criticism -- the reason I didn't buy it -- I was often aware of a peekaboo exposure whenever I was sitting relaxed. I often had to check it and make little adjustments and that fussiness is what ultimately swayed me against it. On my second wearing I used double-sided tape to keep it from gaping, but that's an imperfect solution. Still, I'm not sorry I rented it.

Very cute, a bit too young for me but fun nonetheless and I wore it twice. You really need good knees to pull this off and they're not my strong suit. The tie belt looked a little fussy bowed in the front (with all the ruffles) so I wrapped it twice around and knotted it in the back, for a perfect look. It's such a cute skirt and for someone with good legs is a keeper. The skirt can be a little busy so a simple top is best imho.

5 star dress (reduction of one star because inexplicably the lining in front hangs 2 inches below the hem.) The easy fix was basting the lining up about 3 inches. But once that was done, the dress was a perfect fit for me, a close fitting bodice. Unless your skin is fairly taut, you may wish to go up a size up to prevent any skin bulging. The material drapes beautifully and the look is very tailored, even though the skirt has elegant pleats in the front. FYI the stripes are orange and very light beige (not white). Many compliments on this gorgeous dress, quality material and workmanship.
