Cute, warm, different
Cute sweater, but for me and my (ahem) hefty chest, the bow seems to jump out to people. No compliments.

I like this sweater, but it is a little too short for me.

Warm!!!
It's cute, but VERY warm. Especially in the upper arms, for some reason. I don't think I'll be able to keep wearing it indoors. And, the sleeves are very long, which usually I like, but somehow, these are too rigid for me to like this long.

Super-cute jacket!
It's a great jacket; however, I never wore it because I was so in love with the other coat I had rented.

The material is a delight to wear!
The material is much thinner than I expected and made it so comfortable to wear. I didn't care for the mock turtleneck, which seemed a bit droopy, but I loved everything else about the sweater. I wore this as much as I could.

Beautiful dress!
I wore this dress to a formal holiday party and EVERYONE remarked on how good I looked. For some reason, this dress hid my middle 'chunkiness'. It may have been a bit too large at the shoulders, but clung to my waist with the ruching hitting just right. It was a bit long for my 5'5" so I wore HIGH heels which made it work. The photo with the model shows her pulling the dress up so her knee shows; this is not the length of the dress.

Too form-fitting for me!
I never wore this dress. I just look awful in it, but I am a bit chunky in the middle.

Super warm!!!
I absolutely love this coat. I wore it almost everywhere and received many compliments on it. I got a large (because it was the only size available) and I thought it was too big, but everyone disagreed and said if fit just right. I think it's felted and it feels so good to wear!

It's felted!
Very warm. The sweater is felted and it LOOKS like it could be worn either side, but not really. It's cute to wear. Comes just to my waist, so a bit cropped for me.

It is beautiful, but a bit fancier than I expected, so I didn't have many occasions to wear it.

Great sweater
I ordered larger than my regular size and that was a mistake. So I would say it was true-to-size or a bit roomier. It keeps you warm. I loved this sweater and will order again at a size smaller.

This is a fun coat to wear. VERY warm! And, has that big oversized look. It's very different from what I usually wear, but I felt 'hip' wearing it.

Not a wraparound
Unfortunately, I rented this without reading thoroughly. I thought it was a wraparound skirt, but it's not. As a result, it fit too tightly and I never wore it.

Heavy!
I love this top. It's heavy and so very warm. Too warm for the season I got it, so I didn't wear it more than once. I'll definitely rent again -- in the winter!

Did not fit
I love this dress, but maybe because of many dry-cleanings, or maybe because of my full shape around the bust, but this large size did not fit. I love this dress, so I am going to try to get it in an even larger size!

Compliments to the pattern, but not to me!
People LOVED the dress, but one friend said it did nothing for me. The neckline was particularly mentioned as not working for me.

Cute
It showed just a bit too much cleavage for me, so I wore it higher on the bust and it was fine. Also, probably after too much dry cleaning, the slip is longer then the outer dress. I pinned it up and it was fine.

I am so disappointed!!! The dress couldn't close over my bust. Since I bought it, I will have to give away to some charity. The size 8 would fit someone who is no more than a size 4 or less!
