Good idea, but looked like dress up
As a business consultant, I was excited for a colored blazer. But this one overwhelmed my frame and the material was way to heavy. Even with the sleeves cuffed and a fitted blouse I felt like a little kid. Probably not great for a petite frame.

Beautiful concept
The dress is great in concept. I am used to Marni fabric being substantial, but this was not. More like a rip stop nylon feeling. The arms are very narrow. For anyone else who works out, the sleeves might not work. I spent my whole day with limited arm movement.

Heads up...super metallic
First. Super small. I am petite and the Small didn't even fit my arms. Second. Super metallic. Think tweed meets tin foil. Would be great for a night out or show. But I rented for a highly corporate job and had to return without wearing.

Awkward and thin, could be great
Could be great, but i would need to order a size up to make my arms/shoulders not feel tight. A little thinner and more synthetix feeling than i wanted

Amazing design
The fabric and pattern are stunning. Its a little long, which i like for work. I ordered a 40 and am usually a 2/4. The top is a little gappy but worked under a blazer. It is def something I would want to keep forever.

Quirky, pseudo-fancy, and comfy too!
Truth be told, it was probably too short for work, but I wore it with opaque tights and it gave off a fun retro vibe. It was a little tight across the shoulders, I have more of an athletic build. The fabric was almost like wearing a sweatshirt!

Beautiful idea, awkward fit
I am petite and slightly curvy and the length of this kept getting caught on my hips so it was too tight and then would bunch up awkward. It is very boxy, would be cute on the right body.

Retro, warm, and boxy
This was great for a cold work day. I could have gone with an XS as this is very large and boxy. The 3/4 sleeves are flattering and give the sweater a retro vibe. Wore it with high waisted jeans and a tucked in tank.

Stunning knit, modern vintage
I would size up. I am petite and the small was small and more of a crop. For winter i layered it with a collar for coverage. It would be amazing in summer with a high waisted skirt.

Short and thin but cute.
It is a strange combination. The style is modest and classic, very business friendly. But the material and length makes it hard to wear. It is very flowy and comfortable, but even with opaque tights, I was aware of the hemline all day.

Awkward and itchy
I didnt even make it out of the house. The turtleneck is super itchy. It is an awkward length, too short to be a dress and too long for a tunic. That paired with it running small, it was a no go.
Oxford Cable Sweater

great fit, pattern is muddy
The fit and feel of this are wonderful. Long enough to almost be a tunic. The hammered silk texture is modern. Unfortunatly, the shirt looks like it was washed incorrectly and the black had run into the white parts of the pattern.

Beautiful but fit is off
This fits like a boyfriend shirt or artist smock. The sleeves are shirt and puffy and the sodes are cut too high to tuck. Worked under a cardigan.

Warm and beautiful
Very warm. Sleeves were a little tight for fitting over a button up. Beautiful piece wonderful for cold office days. Would probably order a S next time.
