A little short/tight but cute
I probably would size up if I got again even though these technically fit fine, just to have a little more room. They're pretty thin - you want to wear no-show underwear with these.

Chic for warm weather work days
Loved this - I was worried the little tummy gap in the peplum would be too much for work, but I wore it with high waisted slacks or skirt and it was covered up and fine. Felt very put together!

Fine but
This might just not have been great for my height and been better for someone taller, but I felt kinda swallowed by the fabric here. Even though it fit well at the waist, shoulders, etc. it felt a little more sister-wife + '90s picnic dress than hip. Also, this is small but the fabric is a little noisy/rustly when you walk.

Versatile, plenty of compliments
Wore this mainly for trying to be a little cool while being a mom going around town - and needing some utility with pockets. I think it worked, got lots of compliments. Also worked fine for nursing. Works with sandals, sneakers, etc. Fabric is a little heavier so I'm returning it now that it's consistently warm, but was great all through the early spring season.

Really cute + comfy but high maintenance
Needed a comfy dress for a spring wedding in warm weather. This was great in terms of look, vibe, and feel - the fabric is comfy and resilient, and the outfit itself is really flowy/breezy so I never felt sweaty, but as the night wore on/things got cooler it was still enough coverage. However, the chest area and actual wrap tie are pretty high maintenance. I was constantly tying/retying/adjusting it to keep it tight enough, or it would slip open with movement/dance/walking around. I would have needed fashion tape to truly stop it from showing so much bra. Overall don't regret it as it was great for photos and being comfy while still, but ideally I'd want something this comfortable to not require so much adjustment while on the move. Also, a note on length - at 5'2" I wore with flats and it would trail the ground, heels would have probably removed this problem, but was more important to be good for an outdoor wedding/comfy for a long night moving around.

Cute, fun for work
Mainly wore to work, got great compliments. Fun, eye-catching. The fabric is a little thin; best for warm weather and a smart casual (rather than biz attire) setting. I probably could have sized up for a roomier/more oversized fit; for purposes of a fitted look, the XS fit just fine with all the buttons done up to the collar, even though I'm definitely not an XS anymore. So I'd say it runs a little big.

Stretchy and lowkey
This was pretty great at being versatile and dressing up/down - just changing up shoes/jewelry, I wore this to the theater, to work, to drinks, and to dinner. The stretch is very forgiving. I also found it easy to nurse in. The design is not particularly exciting or eye-catching, but it's subtle and nice enough to look put together easily.

Too thin for most occasions
Ended up giving up on wearing these. The fabric was very silky and thin - hard to wear to work, keep in mind if you don't want panty lines. The size 6 leaned roomy on the actual pants legs and was fine on length, but the waistband was very tight and pinched too much to wear. (It's a hook and zipper closure.) Might recommend sizing up if you have a wider waist or hips, or an under-stomach pouch (as I do).

A little too casual to be worth putting on pants
Just looked a little too casual/not put together, like I might as well have been wearing sweatpants. Might have been because they were a little wrinkly. Fine for running errands or hanging with casual company. I found the waist/zipper button quite tight; if you're concerned about wider hips or an under-tummy pouch you might want to size up.

Cute, felt chic
Wore for a holiday service even though with the slit it's a liiiiiittle on the short side for work, church, or anything where you want to be more modest, so be warned. I was also able to nurse in this easily as the neckline is roomy.

Cute, breezy, waist not stretchy
Just noting since it's hard to tell from the pictures - the waist has a hook and button closure and is NOT stretchy. The shorts themselves are quite loose-fitting and comfortable, but if you're worried about the waist fitting I'd recommend that you size up. These are more like dressy casual vacation wear rather than laidback/leisure wear.

Almost bought this one
Nothing to write home about, I just have to give five stars for highly functional nursing clothing that isn't frumpy. Only downside is the buttons are high up enough that it's tough to do with one hand holding the baby in the other, but the plus side is that the buttons are high up enough that you can leave them undone without totally exposing yourself while you get things together or pack up. Warm enough sweater that is not itchy or too hot/sweaty/uncomfortable. The sizing is very forgiving, XS was still quite roomy, even the wrists have some stretch.

Cute, easy, stylish
Wore this for a few dressy casual outings and to work. Stretchy and quite forgiving while still being distinctive + put together enough! For me it also worked well for nursing/breastfeeding and pumping because of the buttons. Fabric is warm but not too warm.

Cute, easy
Comfortable and worked as something simple and decently fashionable for casual outings, or at work with a cardigan thrown over it (because it's form fitting I didn't really feel comfortable with it at work on its own). Nothing to write home about though. Definitely need to make sure you wear undergarments with no pantylines. I was able to use it very easily as an outfit for nursing/breastfeeding and pumping on the go, the buttons really help with that.

Decent work skirt
Nice thing to add to a rotation of work wear, but a little boring on its own. Would probably have been more notable if I had gotten the matching top. Overall stretchy and has decent give, but the waist is tighter than expected so I'm glad I went with an M.

Warm sweater good for nursing
The pros: I got this sweater looking for warm things to wear that also worked for nursing/breastfeeding and pumping. The button flaps here made this definitely work for that - you can stay dressed and just open part of the shirt! And it looks more interesting/stylish than many other nursing clothes. Wore it to work, to the theater, etc. with pants and with a long skirt. The cons: This sweater is WARM. I guess that's better than the alternative, but just want to stress that this is best if you'll be in VERY COLD weather. Sometimes I'd be sweating in it wearing a coat over it outdoors, and anywhere where the heat is above 60 degrees or so I needed to fan myself or go into the bathroom to unbutton it and cool off a little. Just be prepared for that! Good for your overly chilly office or walking around outdoors if you want to skip a jacket. Maybe not great if you're in a crowded indoor space. The fabric is also a little pilled up from wear, but not in a way that made me feel bad about wearing it somewhere nice. Other: The XS was definitely not tight or that roomy, plenty of stretch. I'd probably recommend sizing down.

great fun black tie option
loved this dress - fit was good and despite appearances it was pretty comfortable/easy to wear and dance in. was a little long - at 5’2”, I wore 6 inch heels and it juuuuust grazed the floor, but wasn’t really an issue other than navigating outside/grass.

perfect for miami wedding
I ordered both the 0 and 2 and ended up wearing the 2 for a more comfortable fit - the 0 felt inappropriately tight. The 2 was great and felt really flattering - no issues dancing, eating, sitting, etc. the fabric is pretty breezy - probably not cool enough to be a summer dress but great for spring.

did not wear - zipper struggles
I so badly wanted this one to work - I could tell it fit, the fabric is more gorgeous and formal than the pictures really capture, and it would have been perfect for the intended garment formal wedding. However the reviewers talking about a difficult zipper are not joking. Even with a second person to help zip it up we got so frustrated just trying it out and contorting myself into all kinds of positions that we abandoned it and I wore the backup dress I’d ordered instead. The zipper is just too small and the fabric too thick, and the hacks for pre-zipping and sliding in didn’t work as well around curves. If you rent, give yourself time (and an assistant) to get it on.

fave maternity clothing pick
Sooo flattering and I felt really chic! I wore this in early-ish pregnancy (around beginning of second trimester) with a smaller bump, and ordered one size up from what I might normally have ordered (from an XS to small, and the S worked perfectly). I thought the geometric pattern actually worked really well to accentuate the bump rather than trying to hide it. Be warned the neck hole is narrow and doesn’t stretch - put it on before you do hair or makeup. Worked great for dinner/nights out and work alike.

good work skirt for early pregnancy
I wore this in first/early second trimester when I was just beginning to have a bump, and it worked great as maternity wear. the waistband was stretchy enough to pull above my bump without it squeezing and also enough to do with a shirt tucked into it. So, A+ there. but the actual design is not much to write home about, just a good workday/semi casual option.
