Awkward proportions
Top was too big and the bottom was too tight. I liked the color but the material was very thick.

Should have sized down, but still wearable and cute
The sweater is very roomy throughout. Sleeves are wide and long, so not a good option if you need to do a lot with your hands. Just elevated enough to be casual and interesting at the same time

I wore this with jeans for weekend coffee date and dressed it up with a skirt and heels for the ballet. Compliments on both occasions.

Versatile travel dress
I purchased this dress so I could benefit from the double-sided design (both are unique and fun to wear). The dress does not wrinkle in travel and is a nice light weight for warm weather or layering. One seam hits a little awkwardly across the middle but it's not very noticeable with the bold patterns. Will use this as a go-to easy travel dress.

Flattering and easy to wear
Wore this to an outdoor evening event in the desert. Very flattering and comfortable to wear. Some compression in the bust, but I'm large chested. At 5'3'' the length worked for both heels and sneakers

Nice navy, but too short
This jacket was just a bit too cropped to work with my intended outfit, and shoulders were very broad/boxy. But is a true navy color and nicely structured jacket i

Heavy fabric, large arm holes
Wore this with the matching cropped cardigan, which was necessary to cover up the gaping arm holes, but was a really cute look overall. Fabric is heavy, which makes it lay nicely and resist wrinkling, but also leans warm.

Made me feel put together with minimal effort
This shirt was easy to wear and comfortable. It's a true navy, and the structured high collar neck makes it special. I have thick arms so i was worried the sleeves wouldn't fit well (they have no stretch) but they were plenty roomy.
Marie Lace Blouse
Just Female
Size Worn: XL
Usual Size: 14

Cozy and bright
This is the comfiest sweater in a beautiful color. Not itchy, and nicely fitted. Small slit is on one side only. Only complaint was that sleeves were just too big, and would not stay pushed up on my arms at all. Didn't prevent me from wearing it, but I had to constantly pull them up to use my hands!

Good length for short girls
These were the perfect ankle-grazing length for me. Loved the zippers at the ankle, although they don't stay fully zipped. I liked them a little but unzipped anyway. Flattering and easy to dress up or down.

The perfect pencil skirt
Love this skirt so much. Comfortable, flattering and stylish. A thick material perfect for winter. I went up a size so I could walk comfortably (a problem with other pencil skirts for me) and I'm glad I did. Had a few issues with the zipper sticking, but the material has some stretch so it was easy to pull on and off without bothering with the zipper at all.
Two Tone Zip Skirt
Badgley Mischka
Size Worn: 16
Usual Size: 14

Cute and flattering, but not for long torsos
Very comfortable fit with "tucked" look in front that is forgiving around the waist line, even though the material has no stretch. Vibrant color, cute on its own or dressed up with a blazer. Torso is very short, which was t a problem for me but could be for someone with a longer frame.

Casual with a touch of sophistication
I liked this shirt, although it runs a bit large and definitely leans strongly casual. Very comfortable, no gaping of buttons in the chest area, and nice linen feel to the fabric. Great for hot days. I tucked in the back because I found that to be a bit awkward.

Chic and comfortable!
I adore this top, both in color (a true navy), fit, and style. I wore it with white shorts for a preppy casual look and with cropped slacks for work. Just enough flair to stand out while still going with just about anything. Very comfortable all day.

Bright pink, not coral at all
Cute too but there was a MAJOR discrepancy in color between the online photos and what I received. The shirt I received was hot pink, almost neon, and while I was able to make it work it was not a color I would have normally rented. The fit was a bit snug in the arms/shoulders, but flattering through the waist and hips. It's light and flowy without being see-through

Versatile and comfortable but different from picture
I sized up on this dress because of the buttons up the bust and was happy I did. Was a comfortable fit while still flattering in the right places. The only thing to keep in mind is that the pattern cut will vary. I liked where the pattern fell in the picture online better than the dress I got, but didn't stop me from wearing it. Because it's unlined, it's good for work in the summer, and while I tho got the fabric would wrinkle instantly it wasn't too bad.

Heavy fabric. Not for a casual look
For some reason, I thought this dress would be a good option for summer weekends, but it is much too formal for that. Heavy fabric and fully lined. Also hit in an awkward spot on my 5'3" frame. Color is pretty though (a true orange, not coral at all). I didn't end up wearing it at all.

Cute and very versatile
I wore this to work, on the weekend, and out at night. It's so versatile! Got many compliments, and it was the right blend of stylish/trendy and classic and wearable. High quality zipper and materials. Loved the subtle shine.

Perfect for traveling
I wore this for all my six flights on a long international trip, and it was perfect. It was comfortable, stylish and warm for the cold airplanes, but also easy to take off for security or if it got too warm. It doesn't wrinkle easily, even after being stuffed in my suitcase. My one complain is one of the side buttons would NOT stay done, so I ended up wearing it open most of the time.

Comfy, stylish and easy to wear
Loved this romper. It was casual and comfortable, and wore it on vacation and got many compliments. It's perfect for short girls (me) and tall girls, as the elastic waist band is hidden and can be pulled up or down to adjust the length without effecting the look. Also easy to get on and off.

Balance of Stylish + Casual
Runs true to size but pretty short in the torso. If you are tall or have a long-torso, this will definitely show midriff. I had a hard time keeping it tucked, because of this, but could just have easily been work untucked. Otherwise, very fun shirt with the right about of casual + style for my office.

Cute and comfortable - but size down
I never listen to reviews when they tell me to size down, but I should have in this case. The band is elastic and big to begin with, so it kept sliding down, making it impossible to keep a shirt tucked. I did love the pockets and the color (a very deep navy) but noticed the skirt makes a lot of sound while walking/sitting down/etc.

Didn't wear it
I loved the look of the pants but they are WAY to big in the waist and hips (and I'm plenty curvy!) I did like the ankle slit detail, which had the pants fit, would have worked for me, even at 5'3'' . The pants just brushed the ankle when wearing 3" heels, and moved nicely when walking. Definitely recommend sizing down, but even that may not work since the proportions of these pants are just off.

Wore to two different events - compliments both times!
Wore this twice and got many compliments both times. It moves beautifully and is very comfortable. Maybe a little tight around the ribcage, but nothing too bad. I'm 5'3'' and wore with 3" heels and the skirt just barely brushed the ground.

Cute casual dress
The hem was more asymmetrical than in the picture, in my experience, but still very cute and the color is perfect for summer. I have a larger bust, so there was some issue with the top button gaping. I chose to just leave it undone.

Comfortable, but swimming in it
I would have loved this sweater had I ordered a size or two down. As it was, it was very baggy and very long on my 5'3'' frame. Definitely recommend sizing down.
