Run big
I would size down with these. The button front bunches a bit oddly if they're too big, so it doesn't do the larger boyfriend fit all that well. I would try again with a smaller size, though.

Runs big
Cute dress, but I'd size down. I went with a medium, which fit (very flexible fit with the smocking), but there was so much excess fabric I think a small would be better. Buttons I. Front are functioning, which is great for nursing moms.

Solid
I really enjoyed this romper. Great quality construction with heavy, yet breathable, linen fabric. And great detailing. The pleats in front are perfect. A bit large on top, but worked for me (larger chest, due to breastfeeding) and draped well. I'd rent again.

Fun Jean Twist
I enjoyed, but didn't love, these jeans. Loved the cute pattern of the lines, but the fabric was a fairly heavy jean fabric for a warmer weather jean.

Didn't end up wearing out of the house
It's the weird middle panel in the waistband. That's what ruins these pants for me. I loved the look online and figured I could outwit the bad reviews if I ordered a smaller size. But. That flat weird middle part just bunches up (even when the size isn't too big) and just looks like a giant belly pooch. It also showed the bottom edge of every shirt I tried to tuck in. Maybe a body suit? I wish the cute pleats just went all the way up. In the end, I sent the pants back without wearing.

Buttons for show only
I really liked this jumpsuit, but it wasn't for me. The buttons are the front are only sewn on and are non-functional. I'd been counting on the buttons to make it nursing friendly, so I ended up not being able to wear if. Only other comment is that it might run a bit small. I'm between a small and medium and the medium was tight in the waist.

Runs small
I'm between a small and medium, generally, but couldn't even get this to button up. Runs very small!

Dark dye stains
Good pants, they looked great on and the waistband was postpartum friendly. The dye seemed to bleed off into my hands and any light fabric that I wore with it or sat on, so I returned without buying (which I strongly considered).

Odd single zipper
I really wanted to love this. The pattern is great and the fabric is cozy, but the single zipper makes the sweatshirt hang oddly on your body. A double zipper would have been better (one on each side). On the plus side, the weird zipper did make it very nursing friendly.

Great for nursing/postpartum
I wasn't sure about the shirt at first, but it grew on me. Cute cut and interesting seams on the front that were slightly slimming. The long "wings" did get in the way at times, but not too bad. A good in-between season too as it wasn't too warm. The color is a bit off from what I'd want and the fabric seemed a bit worn, otherwise I might have purchased.

Good for postpartum / nursing
Good fit for postpartum, as shirt tented out at the bottom slightly and wasn't too straight/fitted. Cute pattern, especially the wider stripes along the side seams.

Too cropped
I absolutely love the pattern of the shirt and wish I could love the cut more. The sleeves actually don't bother me and I don't fine them too blousy. They are definitely a bit short, but it looks intentional and you can always push them up to your elbows, if you like. What bothered me, though, was how cropped it is. I have a very short torso, and it still barely covered my stomach (which is something I am particularly sensitive to as I'm just a few weeks post-partum). So, just be aware!

Not for me
The fabric was a little too see-through and the tunic too long for my tastes.
