Comfy baggy jean example
As advertised. I wore this with a more fitted top and then various oversized layers over and it felt like the right baggy jean proportion. Super comfy. Happy with this as a rental. Investing in a Jean like this - I'd like the fit on my waist to be a little different for me. This was the right size for that baggy effect tho.

So lovely
Loved it. Lined, clever construction with perfect shaping in the midsection that doesn't feel constricting and means you don't have to wear crazy undergarments to make this light colored fabric look nice. The fabric was a crepey texture I hadn't expected from pics - interesting and beautiful. Super comfortable, can be dressed up or down. I got a brand new one. I wish it came in other colors - this shade can be limited and tricky for me. I wore it with sneaks and a jean jacket one day and to an event with bright accessories the second time. Very happy with it as a spring option.

Scratchy
I am sensitive to itchy fabrics, especially wool. But blends can sometimes work and a layer usually makes it doable. The silk blend and the layer didn't do the trick. It was seriously itchy for me. Warm. Super cropped. Couldn't wear it.

Truly wide leg
So comfy and a truly wide and voluminous leg. I have another pair of DL1961, same size, in a different wide leg style and I'd say the cut for the rise and waist of these Hepburns was more roomy and that made them so comfy. Might not be the most flattering for my body, but a great pair of jeans.

Beautiful dark horse of a top
Great fit and feel. It looks kind of simple and plain at first but it's really sophisticated and a great piece for combining into so many different outfits. It is one of those pieces where you say, oh THIS is why they want so much for it. My designer hound friends right away were like, oh, that's gorgeous. For the long armed or tall gals -- the sleeves were long enough.

Cute layer
Great cropped jacket. Got lots of compliments and completed a few looks with polish. The main zipper simply did not work. That was ok most of the time but I wasn't able to close it up and do the cool funnel neck thing with the buckle strap-- both another look and for warmth. Runs a little small in the body. Sleeves are bell-like, which doesn't show in all pics and can make it drafty. Not for really cold weather. Cute and I enjoyed it.

Great for professional event
It is somewhat sheer, as others have said, but I didn't find it a problem. Shapewear was a must for me. I need long sleeves, these were great. Distinctive enough pattern that I am happy to simply rent this for an event rather than own; lots of the same folks would see me when I may wear it again.

Texture perfect, sleeves nice and long
Loved this, a subtle print that’s versatile. I found myself wearing this as it got cold and it was just what I wanted to be wearing. Nice weight, can be worn under blazer/ shacket layer too. Not itchy! Sleeves were long enough for my long arms!

High quality, great color
Very warm! Gorgeous burgundy color, nice quality and in great shape. Low cut. It’s itchy. I’m sensitive to that. I got a turtleneck in the same shade and some fleece lined hosiery. Once every inch of my body that touched it was covered, it was great and I was warm for a day of work and then out to a party in the city on a very cold day.

Great piece
This was a great coat to pop on over some evening outfits. The color is such a great rich burgundy. Leather sales people asked whether it was real. I got lots of comments. I would rent again, and even think of buying — but it’s really not a cold weather coat so I’m on to the next thing since it’s quite cold here now.

Not for tall girls
I think I should have sized up even more to begin with — but I’m usually a 6, got an 8 and it was tieeeeeeet. More than that, with a flare and longer legs you need the length to work and I know even in a bigger size the flare hit in the wrong spot for a long legged gal. My height is not in my torso but my legs so I hope that helps. Wasn’t able to wear.

Great for event
I moderated a panel for interior designers, along with hosting the event. Great piece for this, got lots of compliments. But, good thing I had lots of work besties around because the buttons at the rear of the neck were super difficult to do. Gotta hope you have great bladder control in a jumpsuit with difficult buttons. Only wore it once for that event due to that.

Button issue
I didn’t wear these out of the house… they were the correct size but the button was so difficult to do that I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to take them off. In the moments I had them on, I didn’t love the way they looked in the butt and the wide leg effect wasn’t as intense as I’d hoped from the photos. So the fit was just ok and didn’t make it worth the button panic.

Gorgeous fabric
Great pant. Beautifully made. No lining and the high quality fabric felt nice — and best for shoulder seasons or summer. For me, I would have sized up to get the fuller, oversized menswear look I wanted. Runs nice and long in the regular size.

Great moody print, good quality, still shaker knit
Loved the tie dye, was a nice weight and fabric to wear for early fall. Shaker knit with a nice heavy cotton blend like this tends to do some odd shape things as you wear it. Sleeves were long enough in the morning but just (I have long arms) and then they shrink up by noon. It’s a long sweater, so if you want to wear it cropped or tucked to show waist, make a plan because it’s thick - tucking and folding aren’t easy.

Great dress, felt pretty
Comfortable, loved the dress, I usually wear a six but this 4 fit better. I’m shortwaisted and if this were my own dress I might have the straps shortened. The straps are braided, lovely detail I didn’t see in the pics. I didn’t wear a bra, but did silicone pasties, there was enough structure in the bodice.
