Size up
I was torn between a 4 and a 6. I barely zipped the 4 and I felt like a stuffed sausage. I could not raise my arms almost at all. I feel like maybe sizing up to the 6 still wouldn’t have been enough. I went with a backup I ordered. Shame though because I felt beautiful in it. The shape is very flattering if you can get a size where you can breath and raise your arms.

LOVE
This dress is SO flattering. I absolutely adored it. I debate between smalls and mediums in dresses, I’m glad I went for the medium here. The color is glorious and the fit is a 10/10. Just gotta be comfy with the tatas out there. Will need tape.

No thanks
Wow this looked soooo bad on me. It just felt frumpy and unflattering. Bummer because I thought it looked cute on the model and I must have thought it looked good on others in reviews.

Too much shoulder
The shoulder really wasn’t for me. I didn’t notice it in the model pics or the reviews. It just felt drastic and it was too much for me. Otherwise the dress is very cute and comfy and easy to pack. It would have been my back up if nothing else fit well. I’m glad I didn’t have to wear it tho.

Perfect shoulder season jacket
I wore this all over Europe in April! It got me through really chilly days and some warmer days. It’s not itchy in the slightest. It goes with everything - I wore it to a black tie wedding and around town while being a tourist. I am partial to this kind of pattern, I really liked it. Plenty of room underneath and I am usually the kind of person that opts for a medium… glad I didn’t here.

Conservative dress with a stylish open back
I was going to a more conservative German wedding so I opted for this dress because of how classy and covered up it was. The back is open enough to make it sexy, but not enough to take it out of looking conservative. It is a flattering shape but I do think I looked wider in photos than in person. It did not reach the floor for me and I wore like 2 inch platforms.

Very cute, needed spanx
I was surprised that I needed spanx for this but I felt like the material showed my underwear line and stomach in an unflattering way. It was a little itchy. I’m someone who usually goes up a size to medium so I don’t risk it being too tight, but I think the small was perfect here. I wore to it a wedding welcome party and to a couple of dinner date nights with tights, white socks, and blundstones or heels. Super versatile!

Bad all around
It was uncomfortable and too small to close. At the same time the fit was oddly loose. I honestly disliked everything about it and couldn’t wait to take it off. So surprising!

Cute everyday vest
This was a good transitional piece from winter to spring. It was loose fitting which is what I was going for. I definitely could have gone down a size for a different look. Just depends if you want something more cozy and oversized or not.

Less gapping than I expected
As someone with a D-DD cup size I often have gapping with tight fitting button ups. I felt like this one had way less than expected. I wore it closed and open. Super cute I highly recommend. I wouldn’t go less than a Medium if you’ve got a larger chest unless you plan to wear it open.

Felt like a busty Kim Possible
I really liked this jumpsuit but man did it make my boobs look really “in your face”! I wasn’t expecting that haha. Also, the belt is tough. I tried to iron it flat and it still didn’t stay flat… it bends in and loops a bit floppy. I wore it a few times though and recommend it if you’re curious.

Not a fan of the pattern
I typically like mock necks with funky patterns, but this one did nothing for me. I tried it on and never looked at it again. The color was not for me not was the pattern.

Fun cropped cardigan
This is a thick cardigan, very warm! I loved that it was cropped. The sleeve shape is out of my typical style but I found I could make it work with certain outfits. I also buttoned it successfully across my chest on cooler days and it kept me very warm.

Amazing fit, sexy top
I am obsessed. I feel on top of the world with this top! It’s so flattering and the back being completely open combined with the neckline make it very sexy. I wore it out for some dinners and nights out. I might buy it. I did not wear a bra.

Cool pattern
I really loved this cardigan, the pattern felt fun and different. I was unable to button it across my bust which I’m used to as I am a D. I left it open or just closed the second to last button which was cute. The shoulders felt a little big in how they sat. Overall those things didn’t impact my enjoyment of the piece!

A fun, basic piece
I loved this to elevate my every day look. It’s well made and not itchy at all. I styled it with tank tops underneath or long sleeves. Sometimes with patterned long sleeves. It was fun. I found it look best with a French tuck.

Shoulders are big
I sorta sized down on this one and still felt that the shoulders were too big. They sat on me in a weird way. The dress material is stretchy, so I'd size down and then let it be snug on your body so there's not weird shoulder gaping. Would maybe be better for someone with wider shoulders?

Loved!
I really loved this sweater and only sent it back because it's starting to be too warm for it. I wore it on its own, over dresses, or on top of turtlenecks. It worked with lots of outfits. The arms are a bit big, so if you want it to be a tighter fit I'd size down. I didn't mind. Highly recommend!

Fun pattern!
I liked this top. It's a little more interesting than something basic. I had fun putting this blouse underneath it and treating it more like a vest. I don't know that I needed to go with a Large. I think Medium would have fit although maybe a touch snug.

Super cool, tough to style
I really love the idea of this blazer. I couldn't get it to look good with any of my pants though. I also know it's meant to be oversized but it felt a little too big for me even though I sized down. I would still recommend renting it if you're curious - it has lots of potential!

Cool pants
I loved the style of these and they are nice and warm for the winter. They were just a bit tight on my waist. I wonder if a size bigger would have worked. Also the button wasn't really centered in a weird way. It didn't take away from the look but it did bother me. I would rent again and try one size up.

Frumpy on me
It's a thick fabric and I feel like it just did nothing for me. I wonder how it would have looked if I went one size down. I don't think everyone should pass on this, it just wasn't a good match for my body / style.

Great going out top
I wore this out to dinner and drinks. I love this style of top. I am a smaller person with a larger chest and I was able to close the buttons without much gaping anywhere. I will say that you should expect a lot of cleavage. However I didn't have to keep adjusting.

I cannot tell you how much I loved this cardigan. It lands as such a good spot on my torso. It was warm but not too hot. The pattern sparked lots of joy. I only returned it because I couldn't justify the price tag. Do not skip on this!

I wish I had a better picture. I lived in this sweater and kept it for months. It is VERY warm, I was surprised. Super cute, not too preppy and easy to look sporty/cute. I just couldn't justify adding another sweater to my closet so I returned it. Not at all itchy.

Great color, long arms, cropped torso
I had fun styling this sweater. It was way more cropped than I expected. The sleeves are also wildly long, but I just folded them up when they were in the way so it didn't bother me much. I didn't get to wear this too much because the cropped nature of it made it inappropriate for work, it rides up every time you move your arms and such.

Wide, warm and lovely for winter
I sized down because of the reviews and that was a mistake. The waist was too tight. I wish I had gone with my usual size instead of going on down. That being said... they are long and they are wide so they will be big not fitted. Very warm and i loved the color!

I loved this cardigan! I'm sorry I forgot to take a photo. I didn't like it buttoned up because my chest is too big and it stretches it. I loved it with a black or gray tank and having it open.

Cute cropped sweater
I knew this was going to be cropped but it rode up more than I expected. I still really liked it, but found that it wasn't appropriate to wear everywhere. Slightly itchy but not much. I'm not usually sensitive to fabric.

This was a fun top to have, I kept it for a while. The material is thick, I didn't expect that. Despite the fact that it looks like it has great chest coverage, I did feel like I had cleavage especially on Zoom calls at work. So cute though, I'm sad to return it!

This jumpsuit is stylish and luxurious. It's incredibly flattering due to its slimming shape. The only downside is that you have to redo the bow every time you go to the bathroom so plan on needing a buddy or asking someone random.

I bought it
Wow pictures don’t do this dress justice. It’s so fabulous I had to buy it. It is very flattering and incredibly comfortable. It was so fun to have all that volume and color without feeling too much like the center of attention. I will also plan on wearing this with sandals or sneakers in the future for more casual occasions.

Surprise slit!
I loved this dress, I thought it was a creative spin on a classic black tie dress. I got a lot of compliments. It hides a lot, no spanx nor bra needed. I will say it was a little tight around my stomach, but nothing that made me uncomfortable or would be seen. The slit is HIGH when you sit down. I had to hold it when I sat or put something on my legs to cover it. Be warned, it's a bit unruly.

I never know what size to get in Levi's because I feel like they usually run small. These don't. I wish I didn't size up. These are nicely loose especially around the waist. I would have gone down one or two sizes. Highly recommend I got a lot of compliments and they were very comfortable. They are a bit bulky if trying to pack them into a suitcase.
