Different than the everyday…
I liked this coat a lot, but was a little surprised by the ‘silky’ material. I was expecting something more like a light canvas. It’s dry clean only and I wasn’t able to clean what looked like just a wet spot on the sleeve, so would not consider for purchase. Overall loved the pockets and hood, too. Very roomy, so if you don’t like extra coat, keep that in mind!

Heavy, nice lining-needs dickie
I didn’t wear this because it arrived without the zip out dickie. To me that piece makes it, and buttoning it up without that made it snug. Jacket is quite heavy, so would be warm for outdoor use. Wear over t’s but not a sweater. The lining makes it easy on-off, and there is some very subtle pink in the weave.

Tiny waist!
Not a bad look. The yoke is not quite as contrasting as appears in the pics, and the legs are wide. I should have realized that the 25 would not fit. Not even close. Unsure how I ended up ordering it?! Based on this, I would probably try the 27 if I reorder.

Not a winter coat
Winter temps are hard to judge, and it was cold when this coat arrived. The ‘lining’ is really just a very thin second layer of the somewhat coarse fabric so does not add much. Also does not slide on and off easily. I might have liked it better in the next size up, but the cropped sleeves were too short for my taste. Try this one in the Spring.

Weighty
I read reviews and was not surprised by this pice being long. What I didn’t care for was the heavy material—not heavy/thick like a coat, but heavy adds a couple pounds to your load. Slight exaggeration, but one person even mentioned pajamas, and other than the pattern, not at all. The rough texture and weight make it unappealing to me. If you are into detail, there is embroidering on the breast pocket that looks a bit odd, too. Pass

Cute for younger set
I should have realized this look is too young for me, but wanted to see in person. I kind of had to squeeze into the 6, but based on reviews the waist might have stretched if larger. The tie fly on these is just strange. One side had the cord ‘pinned’ with a stitch, which made it impossible to pull that side tight evenly with the other. I did a little wrap at the top, but that just added to the bulk there. The cord was too thick—I didn’t like it with a short top. Length was not bad for someone my height 5-3

Love houndstooth! Good length
The fit on these was perfect—especially the length for a short girl. Probably could have worn a size up for a baggier look, but piping on the front made it seem like the right look. Wool , so a little scratchy—did not bother me with a shirt tucked.

Warm and classic
Loved this coat! It isn’t lined, though, so the wool is a little scratchy. Over long sleeves that wasn’t a problem. The style I’d over-sized through the shoulders and back, but TTS. It offered good protection from a cold wind. I returned it to try some other options, but would rent again.

Unique look
I enjoyed this top/fit/form—wore it to a concert with jeans (not tucked), then kept it and was going to wear it again. I didn’t like it tucked in, and the button placket seemed like it stretched some. A light iron might have helped. The print does have branding in it but didn’t bother me.

Truth-sized all wrong
I read everyone’s reviews. I thought, no way a 00 could be too big. It is. Can’t wear. If these pants had a drawstring instead of a zip/clasp and misplaced belt closure, they could work. So disappointing. The material is nice, but don’t order 00 if your waist is not at least 35”. For the right body type, these will look great, but order down and then down again!!

Nice color, and great pockets
This is the second Furla bag I tried, and I liked this one better than the first. Both have thick leather and heavy clasps. It was big enough for the things, and I liked the pocket on the back outside where I could put my phone or receipts quickly. Also a couple inside pockets, one that zips. Have decided I prefer bags that don’t have the flap, though.

Warm on a chilly evening, elegant
Wore this over the Marina Moscone velvet slip dress. The lining is pretty thick so it was good protection from the chilly air. Size up if you are wearing sleeves with any substance underneath, but it worked for me! The closure hook at the bottom was bent out from previous use—would not recommend trying to wear it closed. There is a deep inside pocket which was very handy, as well as small outer jacket pockets.

Colorful, casual
I enjoyed this comfy oversized sweater, especially outside as it was getting cool. Wore with a tank or tee underneath, and both jeans and leggings. XS was still plenty big on me, including sleeve length, so size down unless you want a swim! The colors are very fall.

Elegant, easy!
This gown fit me very well! It’s a deep V,, but I am small on top and was very comfortable in it. The length was perfect on me at 5’3”, even without heels. The contrast between bodice and skirt made the effect of the flocking even more elegant. Would rent again . Did not find the skirt too restrictive as some mentioned, but had to lift for getting in and out of vehicles. Paired with the velvet jacket for warmth!

Beautiful colors!
I tried to judge the size I needed based on the reviews, but there were some inconsistencies and the 4 ended up being actually too large on top. I did not wear or photograph the dress but it is gorgeous and I think would be quite comfortable at a gala or wedding (as I had considered). The jacquard floral pattern is sort of a gold and rose gold. I will rent it in a 2 when I have an event that calls for it! Decided on a different color for the wedding.

Something different, and comfortable
The pattern and cut are unique-people noticed it, and complimented! The small worked for me but the fabric is flowy and the cut is roomy, so XS probably would have been fine. The floral is pink, not red, but I like the color combo. Versatile top.

Beautiful soft leather-hard to use
I love the look even color of this purse but found it hard to use. The flap is puffy and makes it difficult to get in and out of. It’s really pretty spacious, with 3 compartments, one zips, if not for that flap. The strap is really wide, too. Just didn’t suit me.

Kind of raggedy
Cute dress, but it’s a thin fabric that had lots of threads hanging off when it arrived. All of the edges are just finished with a machined stitching. That and all of the ruffles that needed attention make it a one-timer for me. The smocking/straps fit well, but not a soft comfortable.

Nice, but not really versatile
This is a cute summer romper. I wore it out to brunch/music/winery. It’s comfortable but not versatile like the blue denim one I also picked out. Plus there are some ruffles at the waist and a belt that required ironing. Pockets are nice.

It’s just a shirt
Not sure what I was expecting, but I didn’t find this to be anything special. Nice colors. I did wear it over a tee to stay warm in a cool indoor setting. Button on each breast pocket was nice.

This romper is comfortable, but classy
I loved wearing this while traveling, and out and about. The long sleeves protect from the sun but are not tight. It’s just a fun outfit you can pair with different shoes, bags and hats. I wore it with a ls shirt underneath in cooler weather, and a tank when warmer. It would be ok without. Useful pockets, too! My cell phone fit in any of them, and zippers make it handy to take a card or cash along.

This is a stylish casual bag, super soft leather!
I took this bag on a trip, and enjoyed using it with the adjustable canvas shoulder strap, like a cross-body. I wish it was just a little bigger, but it is certainly usable. I could do without the embossing (BOSS) and the change purse hanging on one side. That can be removed. If it was bigger I would keep it longer.
