I loved it!
Not totally sure why I didn't buy it, actually. Maybe I still will. It's so soft and lightweight- I wore it in Thailand, and also in Bhutan with a sweater. It fit great! My only complaint was I wish it was 2" longer or so. If I reached my arms up, a little tummy would show. But that's a common complaint for me, being large chested seems to make that worse

Interesting cardigan
I wore this several times- it's a useful sweater/cardigan. But I wouldn't go so far as to say it was flattering on me. If you're curvy like me, it only really worked for me unzipped, which defeats the purpose of the cool double zipper. And it was short enough that my blouses poked out the bottom. Definitely not a purchase, but I did wear it several times.

really cute and super soft!
I only wore it briefly- only because the weather was warmer than I anticipated. I would have bought it if we weren't so far away from winter weather. So much softer than I would have guessed!

Interesting shirt
This was a conversation starter shirt, and multiple people said they loved it. The arm bagginess is substantial, and although I think it was really cute and flattering, I thought it was challenging to eat without all the fabric getting in the way. It's so unusual that I couldn't see myself buying it, but it was a good rent.

very good
I loved this, fit well. My only complaints and why I didn't purchase- the material made me feel sweaty in a warm climate. And the cut meant that the tummy portion flew up in a breeze. No problem if you're skinny, but my tummy is NO meant to be visible in public. But it was good for a rental.

Considered keeping it, but it was just a little long on me, I'm very short. Full, easy to wear. Comfy

Fit great standing
It was perfect when standing, but when I sat down (at a conference) the slit opened a bit too much. Nothing critical, just had to keep my eye on it. Would have purchased otherwise

The collar makes the sweater. I also really liked the arms. I needed an extra sweater for a casual conference and it worked well.

Great, better than the photos
It has a bit of gold thread in it, making it more elevated. Very cute, and structured. I wore it several ways, and liked it a bunch. I would have bought it, but maybe it was a hair too boxy for me.

Not great not horrible
Would be very cute on someone small chested. Instead I looked like a maroon apple. However- the ruffles are really unique, and I did get compliments. The arms are so frilly, be careful if you're going to be eating with it on. You NEED to pair it with tighter pants to look ok if you're busty. On the thin model, it looks adorable.

FIts oddly but ok
I normally wear a 16, got this in 14 per other's recommendations. Still slightly saggy on the bust. Overall not very flattering, but also very unique. I think it's going to work better on more slender shapes. The way it fit accentuated my curves in all the wrong ways. I don't regret wearing it once.

Nearly perfect
Really cute, and pretty flattering. With 36DD, I had just a tiny bit of bra/cleavage showing. A safety pin might have done the job, but it was also a bit tight in the bust and I would have worried about hurting the fabric. For 36DD, I needed every bit of size 16 for the bust to fit. Everywhere else was great, even comfy. Wore it with an asymmetrical suede jacket one night and brown boots for a western theme, and had flats on during the day for a casual work conference.

cute blazer
Wore this to a conference with blouses that have sleeves too short for fall. I liked it quite a bit, but the style wasn't really me so I'm not keeping it

comfy, pockets, great colors and fabric
I wore this to a casual garden wedding reception. It was comfy and forgiving. I would say the chest was slightly larger than it needed to be, which made my 38DDs look EVEN LARGER. In the end it was not flattering enough to keep, although I loved everything except the chest.

Cute, extremely warm
Because it's a puffy interior, which I knew, but it did make me look a lot larger than I wanted. If I wasn't as heavy as I am, it would be really flattering. And very warm!

Second time renting this
The fabric texture is nice, and it pulls on easy. It works great for a work event, and looks cute with white sneakers also. I wouldn't say it's especially slimming if you're large chested, but that's always hard. It was at least moderately flattering for someone curvy and busty like me.

Floor length skirt for short gals
I’m 5’1” and it was exactly floor length (which is great- so many skirts are longer than floor on me). I wore it to a work conference with white sneakers and it was actually very cute that way. Lots of compliments

Cute and comfy
Pockets!! Stretchy everywhere it needed to be. Could wear it with flip flops or heels, very versatile. Cotton fabric so it will only dress up so far, but I think it’s a perfect casual, summer dress.

Not for busty girls
Although the rest of the dress fit, this was scandalously fitted for a DD gal. I mean not appropriate even for Vegas, where I had hoped to wear it for a cocktail party. Boobs entirely out. Too bad because it was otherwise stunning and gorgeous. Don’t try if you’re over a C cup, I think.

Insanely sexy and flattering
Gorgeous LBD. It does show a LOT of cleavage if you’re busty. But also in a flattering cut. Lined nicely which smooths any bumps. Keeping it forever

Beautiful but no stretch and small
Gorgeous, but the fabric has no give. It was a little too small, but since there’s no stretch I couldn’t even get it on partially. Be cautious if you have a larger torso or arms, since I was surprised how tight it was

Fit great and comfy!
I am pretty big busted (34DD). A little peek of my bra and cleavage were showing, when I wear it again I’ll use a safety pin. But it was great and the pattern is stunning.
