Wonderful fall jacket
Fit is TTS and it feels weightless. Love the look though it is not sufficiently warm to handle current weather even in south. High quality but expensive compared to similar jackets I own.

So Many Compliments
High quality skirt from Sea. Cutout work is fun - adds a lot of pizzazz to classic navy skirt. Fit TTS. Styled with a white T for day and cropped ivory sweater for night. I’m sure it would look adorable with the matching top, as well. Would have kept longer if wasn’t stocking up for fall!

Beautiful Jacket - Runs Very Large
Sadly will be returning - swimming in the XS beyond what one would expect for a boxy fit. The fabric is high quality and soft, color rich. Suggest size down one, maybe two sizes.

Stylish & Elegant
Beautiful print, colors are rich, slightly more subdued in person than appear in model picture. Fit TTS, will caution this is long, best for those 5’5”and taller (heels still required to balance length). Could be styled to wear in a number of settings - work, date night, cocktail party, etc. Despite being polyester, fabric presents akin to silk twill (which one would expect for this retail price point).

Grab This While You Can
Just arrived - fabric and color are gorgeous! Cut is well suited for curvy body types, TTS with exception of waist which is very fitted, small to size. The overall look is fabulous buttoned (peplum not as pronounced as description may imply…a good thing IMO), though unbuttoned could work for a more casual look. Style over a black dress or with black pants or jeans. Will be keeping this for a while!

Whimsy at Work
Pictures do a great job of capturing the fun print mix - am pleased with versatility and ease of wearing. Go at it alone, with a blouse or tee underneath, jacked or sweater on top; tights or bare legs; heels, boots or flats. TTS though if you have a larger chest would not hesitate to size up. Fabric drapes beautifully!

Summer to Fall
Fabric is more vibrant in person - rich shades of orange blue taupe and ivory. Wear now with sandals and transition to fall with boots and a sweater. Runs large above waist though fabric drapes beautifully and the overall fit is flattering. Draping at waist is best feature. You will need heels if below 5’6…skims the floor on my left side.

Easy and Chic
Arrived NWT. Will pack for mixed business casual/leisure trip next week. Fit is generous - size down unless you are concerned about waist (more TTS). Lightweight fabric is blue with thin white and black (dark navy?) stripes which are not fully apparent in pictures. Ties on sleeves are long, I like pushed above elbow.

Spring is Here
Beautiful colors and print. Fabric drapes in a way that is flattering (off the hanger it looked very small, and then adjusted to fit perfectly once zipper (could be a bit of stretch in fabric). This could be worn day or night, to work (w cardigan or blazer), or a bridal shower/wedding. Fit is TTS for ALC There is a split at the top shoulder which shows more shoulder while hiding arm pit area. I found it flattering, though the floppy nature may bother some.

Fit is TTS for Veronica Beard. A bit shorter than other VB blazers, so it works well with high waisted wide leg pants. There is a small amount of metallic thread in the weave (which I usually do not like)…but it works here.

Beautiful fabric, awkward backside!
Gorgeous fabric, appears just as it does on the model in front. Would be fabulous, but… Unfortunately the backside has an odd fabric overlay which does not drape well - end result is a bump on the rear and very little coverage of one’s backside.

Comfortable Perfection!
Selected this for a weekend trip requiring that I be dressed appropriately for a women’s luncheon, flight and celebratory dinner without time to change more than shoes/accessories. It delivered-colors are gorgeous (background is purple) and this Ulla fabric is amazing! Runs TTS, but so stretchy- it was flattering but would also work for someone pregnant. Keeping this through January for sure!

Odd Shape
While the color and fabric of this sweater are fabulous, the extra fabric which falls behind/below the shoulders puffed out awkwardly. My husband said I looked like a turtle, with the tight mock neck and extra fabric creating a shell like shape under my arms. Not sure how it is adjusted for the model but I could not make it work.

Easy to wear, everyday dress
While this is a beautiful print & easy to wear, the style/fit is not up to par with what I have come to expect from Figue. It's certainly wearable though not as flattering as other Figue dresses I have purchased or rented this last year. Nice quality cotton, though print/colors better suited to pure summer vs. early fall.

Darling Day Dress
Consistent stylish, high quality fabric/print that I've come to expect from La DoubleJ. Was surprised that the XS ended up shorter on me (above knee, at 5'7") than it appears on the fit model. Arrived wrinkled, as if it had been washed, not dry cleaned/pressed. None the less, a fun easy to wear wardrobe addition!

Stylish, high waisted short which can be dressed up or down. Typically wear a size XS in La DoubleJ dresses, but glad to have sized up to S for these shorts. Good for those who like to showcase waist and/or legs.

Beautiful Color - Needs a Belt
This was one of two dresses ordered for a single special occasion and I did not end up wearing it because the other ended up being more flattering all around. The cinnamon color/fabric for the sleeves is exquisite, but the body of the dress (fabric) is just OK. Belt is a must do in my opinion, but the color is neutral and lends itself to many looks.

Classic Ulla Johnson - Beautiful Fabric!
Fit is TTS, consistent with other Ulla Johnson dresses of this style. With its plunging neckline, it was unwearable "as is". I was able to position the matching belt around my neck and inside the neckline (secured with tape) to make it work. Worked perfectly!

Holiday Perfection!
This dress arrived NWT on my doorstep this morning and I cannot wait to wear it to a holiday party this weekend! The color is a rich shade of merlot (not red as appeared digitally) and the fabric has a nice drape/stretch which highlights the figure without being too tight (typical challenge of the sheath style). The longer length is elegant. Fit is TTS to a tad large, given the fabric. C+ cup (or generous push up) needed to fill out the chest.

Elegant vacation dress in beautiful fabric!
Very comfortable, did not feel as though the fabric was too sheer as some have described, though I wore when dark. The drawstring just below the chest can be adjusted, so while I would have typically ordered the XS, I got the only available, S. It worked just fine. The fabric quality is excellent - wore it straight from the suitcase, with minimal wrinkle.

Gorgeous Spring Dress
Have not worn yet, ordered for upcoming garden party. Love the fit of this (TTS but could size down if you have small rib cage/waist). Fabric is so pretty. It needs a striking belt, am pulling a contrasting fabric and color to complete the look. Expect to wear a few times before returning!

Cute Spring Dress - Look More Silk than Cotton
This arrived new with tags, but was immediately returned unworn. As a 32D who rarely runs into fit challenges in the chest, it was surprising that the dress (which otherwise ran true to size, moderately relaxed in fit) was so small in the chest area that the fabric would not come together, much less button. This may work on the flat chested...suggest up-sizing as well. The fabric presents more like silk than cotton (it is a blend), the colors are bright and the style very much on trend. I think it could be worn many places, day or night.

Elegant Dress - Sadly, Returning Unworn Due to Large Size
I was very excited to try on this dress as soon as it arrived. The fabric and construction is extremely high quality - had it fit, I would have multiple opportunities to wear over the next few weeks (work, dinner out, gallery preview, etc.)...unfortunately, it runs very large in the mid-section, resulting in an extremely dowdy/unflattering fit.

Stylish option for beach vacation
This is a darling dress for the beach - can be dressed up or down depending on shoes, and the fabric is high quality. The waist runs on the small side...given the volume of the skirt, this is most flattering on someone with a tiny waist/narrow rib cage. 32D chest fit fine in the SR, but the ivory fabric is not lined and therefore see-through (need pasties). If you are packing for vacation, this dress takes up a good deal of space and is relatively heavy (the skirt is more full than it appears in the picture). Good news is that the wrinkles either fall out or appear natural to the fabric - low maintenance.

Gorgeous Leather Jacket
Great way for those of us with long waisted figures to embrace the Moto trend. Worked well with jeans and black slacks. Leather is incredibly soft, high quality and quilted patches add upscale touch. Note this is a generously sized jacket, true to size (do not size up as one might typically do for the slim fit shorter Moto jackets).
