Cute but bulky
A nice warm jacket. I wore it as a jacket, not a blazer because it's just a little too oversized for me

Meh.
It was a cute top that I wore for my sister's birthday and then again to a Friendsgiving. There is no seam where the sleeves meet the bust so it sort of "puffed" making me look top heavy. I felt myself continually pulling it down as the thick material and ribbing made it sort of want to ride up. That said I am slightly taller than average so maybe it didn't sit right on me.

Very cute and functional
Loved the shorts under a skirt look, functional but without the weird vibes/ look that is typical for my body from most rompers. The fabric is lightweight and perfect for warm weather. I only gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because it's nothing spectactular. Definitely a solid outfit and a cute look.

Perfect, but size up
I love this jacket, it's meant to be small and fitted (3/4 sleeves, waist-length body) but size up, particularly if you are between two sizes. It looks great on, very tailored

Better for tiny girls
I suspect this would be great on an average size 4 or a petite 8 and below. The puffy sleeves aren't great on average shoulders, they just kinda make you look broad. For me the buttons had a small gap at the bust, but fit good in the waist.

Boring.
The dress for pretty well, as expected for size anyway. It was a bit loose on the waist for me, but I suspect that was intentional in the overall fit/design. It was just a bit of a snooze, fine for work but even then a bit boring.

Light, breezy and beautiful
This. Dress. 😍 I didn't want to give it up at all. It was so comfortable and incredibly cute and unique, really hit the mark for my Florida girls trip. The top was fitted nicely without being too tight to fit a strapless bra underneath. The hem was perfect for my average height (5'6) and it was loose through the middle without being shapeless. If not for the $400 price tag, this would still be in my closet. My one word of warning for wearing this in the heat is to be mindful of where you sweat - the dress is silk and the sweat will cling to the dress and be very visible.

Flowy and fun
Perfect fit for a high waisted skirt. I'm standing a little awkwardly in this photo so it's not aS flattering as it was in real life, but I felt very confident and cute. I loved how the asymmetrical hem floated in the breeze.

They are a bit on the long side, I'm 5'7 in 2 inch boots in this photo and they still just slightly touch the ground on my heel. But nice flattering fit and color

Too small to wear comfortably, SIZE UP!
Such a pretty and unique dress, I wish it was bigger so that I could have worn it. I am normally an 6/8 so I sized up and ordered the 3R (advertised as the 8/10). I never usually have an issue with other dresses that are deemed "small/tight" in the waist by some renters, but this really was way too small and really difficult to zip. Once I had it on I knew I wouldn't be comfortable all night so I wore something else. My advice: size up, then size up again.

Biggest hit
This purse was such a big hit, everyone was asking be where I got it, from the hostess at the fancy restaurant (who literally asked to take a picture of it) to the guy who inspected my bag in the security line at the show we went to. A security guy complimented my purse folks! Fun accessory and holds more than I would have thought: phone, wallet and keys no problem!

Fun accessory, big though
Very cute and fun ring that could be a parrot, but as a Harry Potter fan, it reminded me more of Fawkes the Phoenix. Was a bit big and obtrusive, but great for a few hours

Excellent plunge dress, runs slightly big
This is a beautiful, feminine, flowy and fun dress. It's very low cut, so you'll need some type of tape, or far younger and smaller boobs than I've got. (34 years old, 3 kids, 34C) but I loved it and felt it was well worth the time it took to tape myself into a younger looking lady. I normally wear an 8, on the line of being a 6. I wish the 6 had been available, it would have fit better in the chest and waist. Comfortable dress that I loved, go for it!

Great colors, messy fit
I loved the colors of this dress, such a great choice for summer. Unfortunately the top was REALLY large (and I'm a C cup). I had to wear a tank top underneath, which was fine, but really detracted from the overall vibe. The way the dress wraps is also not quite right. It was like I couldn't get it tight enough around my waist without the actual dress being tied (as opposed to just the strings). Similarly, the strings were SUPER long and actually got caught on my chair at work and untied the dress at one point. Luckily no one was around when I came apart. Disappointed in how it worked for me - maybe with fashion tape it could be better for others.

Perfect Summer Dress
I wore this to my son's 1st birthday, it was perfect! Fun and flowy but fitted enough on top to not make you look chunky. I took the advice of others and sized down. Normally wear an 8, the 6 was perfect.

I wanted to love this dress - it's so American Summer. But the darts landed directly on my nipples, and it just wedged funny. Disappointing.

You need this dress
This dress was EXACTLY the vibe I was going for with my sister's wedding; sexy yet conservative, classic. It made me look like I hadn't popped out 3 kids in the past 4 years, and like I still have my act together (good one dress, we fooled them all!). All that said, I definitely had to be sausaged into it and I couldn't move at all whole I was wearing it. Opted to change into a different dresses for the reception. T-Rex arms and an inability to open my legs more than 1 foot in any direction were the biggest challenges. So you have to decide if it's worth it for you.

Wanted it to work
I was really hopeful that this would work for a wedding, but the for was just a little bit too awkward for me. Bust was pretty big, and I'm a 34 C, so not small on top. Without a bra it would wrinkle, but if I had one on you could see it through the peek. The elastic waistband was nice and tight but oddly uncomfortable. In the end I just didn't think it was worth it. Not enough wow to balance out the issues.

Beautiful color
Such a pretty color and the fit was good enough, but the shading ending up being a little awkward, and made me look super pregnant. Granted, this is a horrible photo (my husband is the worst at photos) but it shows how the light can play off the dress causing you to look less than attractive. Pretty dress, good fit, but just ended up being a little underwhelming. If you want a show stopper, look elsewhere.

Not for average or large boobs
I wanted this dress to work so badly. It was the perfect combination of colors and looked like it would be comfortable - everything you want for the dress you wear to your sister's wedding. But as you can see - the top is a bit of a disaster. It's just way too revealing for anyone with a B cup or higher - unless you want to be revealing of course, in which case - get this dress. It was too much for me, and I don't own any bra contraption that would have made this functional. Otherwise, the length and fit worked.

Awkward Fit
Maybe it's just my body, but the torso of this dress was too long. The waist line fell at my belly button instead of slightly above it.

Pretty but strange fit
I was a little disappointed by this dress. The arm holes were very small and tight, and the pockets made the dress stand out on my hips awkwardly. I felt very much like a 1950's housewife v. the slightly sexy but conservative enough approach I was looking for.

Pretty, but a little boring
The dress fit true to size, although the lining seemed to snag under the dress a little bit, which was not flattering. Very pretty dress, but didn't wow me.
