Tie Dye For
An upscale tie-dye vibe. Flattering, flowy and easy to pack. I’m 5’7” and wore with 3 inch heels - it still skimmed the ground beautifully. It is low cut, so I pinned it at the neckline. Easy fix for a fabulous fit!

This dress was just what I wanted. Flowy, easy to pack and red. Stayed up easily through dinner and didn’t hold wrinkles from being packed in my carry on. Great dress!

Straight Awesome
I love this coat so much. (And would actually give it 4.5 stars.) The only reason I didn’t rate it a full 5, is that it’s cut so dang straight. No allowance for a pear’s hips (mine are around 44”). I got a medium and the shoulders were a bit big - but the coat was a little snug in the hips. (I’d also note that even the model has hers unzipped on the bottom…) But it’s gorgeous, the color is awesome and the lining is snuggly. All in all awesome to rent.

She’s Knot Like Other Shirts
Absolutely fabulous! I got an XL and had plenty of room. I even rolled the sleeves once. I’m a size 12 - could have probably done L but it wasn’t available. Still looked great. Very classy and fall vibes. Comfy in every way. Loved.

Semi-Formal Fall
Wore this to a fall wedding and it was lovely. Easy to wear, comfortable and no special bra required. (I pinned the center because it was just a smidge too low.) I’m 5’7” and I wore the 12L with kitten heels and it floated over the ground. Great dress.

The Great. Big Cat 🐈
She is ADORABLE! This is one of those coats I just LOVE to rent. Such a fun, loud pattern. I think it ran a bit large and I could have definitely worn a 2. (I’m a size 12 and ordered size 3.) It is a nice lighter coat - I wore it on a low 60s fall evening and the weight was perfect.

Bedazzled Belly
Getting a head start on holiday dress auditions. While this candidate was high on the list - she didn’t make the cut because of the way she hugged every curve of my stomach. I am very pear shaped and this dress made that clear. The side view was not nice. I could make it work but I’m not interested in holding in my stomach during holiday festivities.

Fall Light
This dress is gorgeous and perfect for pear shapes (like most DvF). The material is light - so it won’t work for those low 50’s fall days. But if you have an unseasonably warm October day like I did, it simply couldn’t be better.

I’ll Be Out in a Sec!
On my pear shaped body this dress is giving hard “I was just getting dressed and had to grab this towel to open the door” vibes. This would be KILLER on a tall, thin frame. But on my curvy self, it was just the fanciest toga in all the land. Pass for me.

It’s what’s on the inside that counts
A beauty inside and out. Perfect size for a day of museums and frizzy hair. Loved this bag so much, but what put it over the top for me was the luxe, soft interior. Each reach for lipgloss was a mini treat for my hand. Note - there’s no real closure at the top, just a heavy gold piece that folds over the top. Would not recommend for airplane - or any situation where your bag will topple over. Contents would roll right off that smooth leather and into the floor.

Short and sweats
These are awesome. They have an actual button and zipper and the front pockets are functional. However, they are completely cropped on me (5’7”) - that’s what keeps me from buying them. I am swimming in Sailor Jeans right now and don’t want to own another pair knowing full well I’ll tire of them next fall… but for now - ahoy sweatpants!

Meow Wow!
Adorable. I loved it and it was super comfortable. It was a little big on me but it worked in my favor since I had extra material to tie in the front and didn’t have to wear anything special underneath.

Wrapped with a Bow
It’s rare I find a cutout dress that works for me - but this one hit the mark! Ended up tying a bow instead of around my neck, but loved the look just the same. It needs a good steam/iron if packing for vacay and a regular strapless bra will not work.

This dress needs ironing or steaming which automatically subtracts 1 star for me. It was near impossible to get all the wrinkles out of the pockets. Once on, it was a beautiful baggy bag. 3 stars since it’s the prettiest bag print I’ve seen in a while…

No Ma’am, No Thank You
Ordered this one in hopes that it would conceal my pear shape, when in reality it only accentuated the fact that my bottom half is larger than the top half. Not a win at all for me, unless I needed to dress as a handbell… Print is gorgeous tho and colors pop. Unfortunately so do the ruffles.

Basically Cute
Unsure if we were attending an event, so ordered this just in case. We ended up going and this dress worked great. I wore an extra large to accommodate my pear shape and pinned the top for a more fitted bust. Nothing special, but just what I wanted for this night.

Cute, sexy and light. Like the hottest little pajama set combined with a smoking jacket and made this romper. Super cute for a dinner out. I suspect I could have worn a large but the XL was comfy and stayed closed with a safety pin.

This is beautiful and flow-y ocean goodness. I am 5’7” and wore with flats and it touched the ground! (This never happens for me.) I really loved it. I am a solid 12/14 and the medium worked well and stayed up just fine. The bodice seemed shorter than the model’s, perhaps because I got said medium..but I thought it still looked great. 💙

I have important things to do
This dress is so adorable and made me feel business fabulous. To get it to fit my bottom half I had to get an XL, which inevitably makes the top a little too large. The life of a pear…still a cute dress and high quality.

Flattering Floppy Straps
This is so perfectly cut, so flattering, so cute - but the straps are just a hint too long. One false move and they are off the shoulder toot sweet. The rest of the fit is spot on.

Loved it. It’s comfy, soft and gorgeous. Melted around my curves! Probably gonna keep this one for a beach trip next! My only complaint was it needs a strapless or racer back bra - but totally worth digging in your bra drawer.

This is gigantic. It’s not particularly soft or comfy either. But it does scream “I’m an expensive sweatshirt” which was a must for my run to Sam’s club 😂

From the pictures I thought she would be much bigger - but I should have read the measurements. Ended up being a high quality crossbody for a day at the museum and another day at an aquarium. High quality piece. Not pockets or any compartments inside.

Fresh and luxe right out of the bag. Received new with tags and the leather scent was intoxicating! The bag is very well made and feels very luxurious. My only note - I don’t think I would buy it, as the corners seem like they will wear very quickly due to soft leather…
