Snaps are an immediate no
There is no way to wear this beautiful dress without it coming unsnapped. Move your arm, snaps popped. Turn around to see something? Come undone. And, they are difficult to snap in the first place. There should have been a side zipper the entire way. I wrote it, but with a jacket the entire time so the unsnapped side couldn't be seen.

So. Many. Compliments.
That's a first - I couldn't go anywhere in this coat without getting compliments. And notably, I got many of those compliments from men who wanted to know where I got this coat. It is just the right weight for a cool fall and feels as great as it looks when wearing it. If you often find tight fits in the hips, you may want to size up to make sure that you can button all of the buttons.

Essentially, a set of extremely classic, lightweight wool pants legs sewn upside down to create a perfectly tailored, professional-looking dress... with an edge. <3

Hourglass shape? size up!
There is so much volume in these pants (in a flattering way), it would be tempting to size down. However, the waistband is smaller than expected despite being elastic. These were difficult to get on, but fit perfectly once I did.

Size up
This is a snug fit with no give. I needed safety pins around each button at chest level. Also tight on the sleeves; very difficult to lift your arms. Looks great, though, and the fabric is really nice

Size up if you need more coverage in the back
If you need more space for your bottom, these might not be the slacks for you. They are stretchy, but low cut in the back

A little hard to call this a dress
Pair this very short dress with a very wide open profile, and you have a dress that can't be worn without shorts under it... and I'm only 5' 4"! It was cute on, but would probably be better as a long shirt or a coverup.

Fit well
The straps were too long for my short-waisted body, but a few safety pins did the trick. I loved the asymmetric look on the straps. The color didn't work the best on my olive skin - but, I should have known -- yellows generally don't work on me. but the cut was very cute. The best part about this flowy dress is that brisk wind never exposed too much leg or more. The bottom layer is more fitted, so it didn't blow up in the wind even if the other ruffles did. Big plus!

My face is narrow, and somehow these glasses still worked for me. I loved the very basic, laser-cut style. So easy to wear - enough sun blockage. a perfect pair.

Love
So much to love. Although there were bright colors, they had a "ooh pretty" feel rather than a "wow, that's bright" feel. The cutouts are not too much and the hardware on the front of the dress was just right.

Pretty and flowy
The fabric looks like the prettiest oil on water in all the best ways. Although the dress was long, I appreciate the front slit which meant that I never stepped on the dress while walking. I found the top to be a little uncomfortable - I had to tie the strap around my neck so tightly to get the right positioning when ended up being a bit uncomfortable over time.

The bottom elastic on the sleeve is SO TIGHT. I couldn't bear to wear it more than a few hours. Which is a shame. The dress was adorable and easy to wear otherwise.

Beautiful, but IMPOSSIBLE to put on.
The dress clearly fits, but it is clear that the designer never had anyone try and put this dress on before settling on the final design. Not only does it need a zipper, there are 6 small hooks to close the neck - One should earn a prize if you can hook them all yourself. Don’t rent if you won’t have help getting it on.

Such cool wearable art
As much as I loved these pants as a piece of super cool wearable art, I didn’t love wearing them. Despite the size of “small” these are a True Religion size 28, which sadly isn’t my size. The collage style felt heavy, so I needed a belt to keep them up. While folks found them interesting I got more complements on my belt than the pants. I know they will be perfect for someone. Sadly that someone wasn’t me :( Very excited by the partnership with Nigel Xavier, though!!

Love! Though super long
I adore these jeans. It was difficult to give them up. I am long waisted below the belly button and short waisted above, so most jeans (particularly high waisted ones) leave a a large gap in the back when they otherwise fit great. This one was not as bad as most. But the star is the bottom flair that made my legs look long and sleek. Tons of complements on the tie dye wash.

So beautiful
Wore this over a white dress for a singing performance, but also wrote it in a more causal setting over a white lace top with white jeans. Received stop-you-in-the-streets complements in both instances. The piece is fully lined in soft fabric, so no scratchy sequins; it is very comfy to wear. To note, the color is not a pure white; it is more of a bright cream color or off white. It didn't look good with a very white pair of pants I was going to pair it with.

Like yoga pants with some flare
These pants are stretchy and comfortable with a nice flare at the ankle. Although I ordered the regular length, the 34" (!) inseam makes me think that the long was delivered instead. Even with 5" heels the pants were too long. But, I'd rent them again if I could get the right length!

Fit is different from shown on model
The floral pattern on this thick, warm, cozy sweater is beautiful. Though, note that the picture on the model makes this sweater look like it is a loose fitting, oversized sweater. This is not the case. In fact, I thought the sweater had shrunk before I received it, but measured the shoulder to hemline and it was 20.5 " as it says in the description. The sleeves, however, are extra long, but not annoyingly so. If you have sensitive skin, you might find the sweater to be scratchy,

Impossibly narrow, long, and unstretchable legs
I admittedly have muscular calves, but I couldn't pull these pants up over them.... At all... No matter - even if I could have, the pants would have been insanely long (probably 4-5" too long) And yet, the bodice would have fit fine. I usually LOVE Bronx & Banco pieces but this one was just a very beautiful, but unwearable item.

Warm and furry
I thought this jacket was super fun, but I kept getting comments about the colors that weren't very flattering. I wore it several times and was nice and warm, though the fibers shed a bit and kept getting into my eyes. While I had fun wearing it, I can't see renting it again.

Flair for work
I love the fit of this dress. The fabric has some stretch, the length was long enough to wear for work, and the eyelet at the neck shows a bit of skin, but no cleavage. The arms will a little tight on me - not so tight as to be uncomfortable, but a bit snug compared to the rest of the dress. I paired the dress with a lariat necklace and booties.

Cute and comfortable
These pants are comfy. They are stretchy and a nice vibrant color that makes them stand out. The pink is a rich color that has some blue in it, making it more like a very pink purple color. I'm 5'4", and the length was right at my ankles, but not so short that it looked like the wrong length.

Too big and too small at the same time
I wore these, but they didn't really fit. I have an athletic build, and these absolutely did not fit my thighs (could not pull them up all the way.) And yet, they were really large in the hips and waist. There is virtually no stretch to the fabric. They also are not lined, so the sequins are pretty uncomfortable. But they sure were sparkly, and looked way better than they felt.

Traditional fit witha unique edge
I wore this with sequin leggings for a performance, and received many complements. It is a comfortable, not too tight fit, and the long side fits assertions the left leg almost like a skirt or slacks, but it is light, so it flows when walking out if there is a breeze. A surprise - the long side has a pocket!

Too thin and tight
I couldn't wear these - they ran very small. Though even if they fit I wouldn't have worn them. the pattern and color were beautiful, but the fabric is just thin and clingy, like that pair of pajama pants that you hate to wear because they get all static-y so they won't keep your lower legs warm. I wish they looked like they do on this model, but they just didn't. Agree that they need a lining.

Despite being joggers, they're not for runners...
If you need an athletic cut, don't bother with these. They were to tight in both the thighs and calves, with a calf measurement of 14", and thigh measurement of 21" at their widest points on the size 2 (with no stretchiness.) If that measurement will work for you with some room to spare, then I would recommend these. They look like sweats, but they wear like slacks. The elastic waist is not all the way around - they have a flat band at the pockets so that part lies flat. I really wanted to make them work, but the slim leg cut made it so I couldn't even pull them up enough to comfortably walk.
