Cute but sewn-in belt limits possibilities
These are cute but very very short—2.5 inch inseam in size 25. That was ok for me but these *just* fit so size up if you’ve got a booty. The issue I have is that the cloth belt is sewn to the waistband—you can’t remove the belt, which kills the versatility and makes these a nightmare to iron.

Too big
Fabric was nice and these were well made, but color is very bright and they’re just too big. It’s one thing for them to be cut with a wide leg, but quite another for the waistband to be too big and have the shorts fall low.

so big, so boxy
Size down — mine was missing buttons on the sleeves so was unwearable, but I'm not sure I could have made it work because it was so enormous.

Cute!
Looks better on the body than the hanger. Fabric is comfortable and breathable on a hot day, so a nice choice to upgrade from a tee or tank

Perfect
Structured linen doesn’t wrinkle and fits perfectly. High waist and cut are elevated. Probably will splurge for these!

Doesn’t look great on the hanger, but fit like a glove and really popped for meetings—both in person and on zoom

Great fit, nice structure, pretty spring colors. Cropped for sure but not too much—just pair with something high waisted for casual polish

perfect
Everything about this is excellent — the stretchy fabric isn't flimsy but moves well and feels great on the skin, the colors are fully saturated and gorgeous, and with heels it's still fine for petites. I bought it.

cute
It's not exactly small, but the stretchiness causes the buttons to gape a little bit. For me this was solved by unbuttoning it a little lower, but that might not be an options for someone with a larger chest. Colors are fun!

Super cropped
Love the look but this is very cropped. To wear for work I actually put it over a black jumpsuit so my midriff was in no danger of being exposed in the office. Super slimming with wide leg black pants!

Sooo short!
This dress was only 30” from shoulder, so be aware—way too short for work without tights, even if you’re very petite. I really liked it when standing, so recommend for an event like that. Sitting, it also rides up, and thick material bunches around the waist in a weird way.

Narrow cut great for petites
This is cut narrowly at the waist and shoulders, so I could see some people feeling restricted. This, plus the length, were great for petites. Mine had a weird seam issue at the shoulder that I was able to solve with some patient inside-out ironing. Perfect for work overall, and appreciated the zipper at the bottom that let me open the skirt for more comfortable sitting.

Other reviews are accurate
The bust darts make a mild cone boob effect but this can be minimized if you cinch it tight. Tricky to get in and out of and definitely easier with a helper, but just impossible to do on your own. In a pinch I tucked the liner in to my underwear waistband a bit to keep the liner from showing under the hem. Super cute for vacation!

Great on camera
The fit was petite friendly (though I imagine the sleeves might be short on a larger frame). Not super versatile, but I loved it with high waisted, wide leg jeans and collar undone. Could get another look by tying the collar but I won’t keep long enough to do that. And in one-off for me! Also, loved the flowy but substantial fabric—draped well but without feeling flimsy or unbreathable

Would not normally be into the barrel leg, but the piping really raises the interest level and draws the eye in a flattering way. These fit great, including petite friendly inseam and no waist gap in the back.

Perfect
I’m not usually a sweater dress person, but this one is a winner. Great fit for petites (ie perfect sleeve length, hem just at bottom of the knee), comfortable fabric, not too heavy or too thin. The pattern helps it pop and keeps it from being a boring black basic. I wore with ankle boots and it was just right.

Great fit for petites
I usually struggle with waist gap in the back, but these are cut slightly lower in the back than the front—felt a little weird at first but solves that problem. Skinny fit also works with boots. Fabric is stretchy but thick. Super versatile!

Shoulder pads a little big
I liked the shape overall but the shoulder pads were a bit too much for a petite frame. I also didn’t know how sparkly it was with the metallic threads—could not wear to work as I had planned.

Loved the retro 70s vibe for ski weekend and work. Fits nicely for petites, with the possible exception of the collar, which was very tall. I had to double fold it

This sweater sits right on the line between work and play. The collar keeps it polished while the fit is just relaxed enough to be fun without being too sloppy for work. Enjoyed this much more than I expected to!

Warm, stretchy, waist gap
Pros: warm and stretchy, very comfy for winter but still polished Cons: if you struggle with waist gap in the back, these will be a problem. Flash pockets also gap out at the hips, which I solved with a long shirt to cover (fine but makes these way less versatile for cropped sweaters or tucked-in shirts) Also, I’m 5’2” and had to roll the cuff 1x. Held its shape great so not a problem at all

Warm but tiny
This is very fitted—I am always an XS and I could just barely button this up over a long sleeve t-shirt. Arms are snug; sweater is nice and warm. I like it a lot, but I recommend sizing up for casual wear.

Teensy bit small
I liked the fit to wear open or with the top button closed, but it was a little close to button up — and definitely would have been difficult over anything other than a cameo. Super cut style and I might try in a S next.
