Not flattering
The dress has a very strange cut and was unflattering on the e chest. Squishes everything down and the straight across cut looks awkward

Very rigid so glad I sized up a size. Cute but definitely not jeans you want to sit around it

Fit like a glove
This dress was perfect for a wedding. Very forgiving in the midsection and comfortable for dancing. The zipper was a bit sticky. Didn't need a bra but felt it looked better with a little support so wore a stick on bra

Fun fall sweater
Perfect sweater for Thanksgiving. The fabric and pattern feel elevated and fun. The cut was long enough and roomy enough to be comfortable but still very flattering. Loved it!

Good basic turtleneck
Not itchy, oversized fit with massive sleeves that needed to be folded (and made it difficult to get into jacket sleeves. Good for bumming around the house in on a cold day, but nothing special.

Not for tall people or those with a long torso
Great sweater but was way too cropped for me even with high waisted jeans. Too bad because it's a great sweater in a beautiful navy and warm thick wool that I did not find itchy.

Great sweater for fall
I loved this sweater. Great fall colors, soft, long enough, and had a flattering neckline.

Just okay
I can't understand the rave reviews of this sweater. It was very plain sweater that was slightly pilled. Fits true to size and was long enough for me at 5'8. Slightly itchy for my sensitive skin so I needed to wear a long sleeve shirt underneath.

Great fit and beautiful color
Beautiful drape and great fall color. Wore this to brunch with friends. The fun pattern and silk material make it more special than a typical button down.

Just okay
Sleeves were a little short. Overall, was underwhelmed by the cut. The thicker material, high crewneck, and boxy fit were not very flattering.

Just ok
I found this sweater to be very itchy and strangely low cut. Not cleavage showing, but very low for a chunky knit sweater. Also didn't love the bubble sleeves. Didn't end up wearing it at all.

Disappointing
I understand that this is a cropped sweater, but it only came to my bellybutton. The sleeves were also very tight, which looked odd with the boxy, relaxed cut of the body. Too bad because the material was soft and a beautiful color of gray. But it was unwearable for me due to the fit. Maybe it would work for someone shorter (I'm 5'8).

Too small for a full bump
I rented this to carry me through my last month of pregnancy and it did not zip over my bump! And I wasn't very large. This was smaller and tighter than my regular winter coats. Might be fine for first or second trimester.

Big and frumpy
Even though I am postpartum and rented a size small, I was absolutely swimming in this sweater. It was so unflattering, I didn't even want to wear it around the house for nursing.

Nice jeans but nothing special
I liked these. The fit and wash were on trend, but they weren't especially comfortable. A stiffer denim without much give.

Cozy and stylish
Great, cozy sweater with on-trend drape. The fabric was thick and warm--perfect for the snowy week we had here in MN. The one slightly odd thing to note is that the cuff of the sleeve is wide, not fitted. Not a deal breaker at all, and less noticeable when I rolled it once. Overall, I really loved this sweater and it would be great for many occasions. I wore it to Thanksgiving dinner, an event at my daughter's school, and brunch with friends. Loved this!

So sexy!
Absolutely loved this dress. The back is incredibly sexy. Wore this for a night out in Vegas--dinner, a show, and out to the casinos. I felt classy but sexy and got many compliments all night. Highly recommend for bachelorette parties, Vegas, or a hot date night.

Perfect Vegas Dress
I wore this dress for a trip to Las Vegas with friends. It's sexy, comfortable, and eye-catching. The bottom is stretchy and hugs your curves, so I felt confident dancing and going up stairs, etc. that I wasn't going to have a Brittany Spears moment. You could probably wear a regular bra with this if it had the right kind of plunge, but I found it worked best with a strapless so that the cups didn't show with the wide v-neck of the dress.

Comfortable and sexy!
I loved this dress! I wore it to a club in Las Vegas, and it was perfect. The material was very comfortable and stretchy, and the cut was very sexy. I was nervous that the top would be too loose and make me self-conscious all night, but when I got the dress I was relieved that there is a tight fitting layer under the drapey part (almost fits like a halter bikini underneath). Still, you definitely can't wear a bra with this dress. I have a smaller bust, so that was fine with me but I imagine ladies with bigger busts might have to worry about wardrobe malfunctions in this dress. Also, this dress was way sexier in person than on the model. Highly, highly recommend!
