Beautiful color and a hearty fabric
This is a fun dress to wear around town. I wore with jack Rogers as well as heeled wedge sandals; alone and with a jean jacket; with a bra and without... I think it looks good regardless. I liked it best tied a little lower and with a plunge bra and heels. It's too nice to wear around the house, but breathtaking enough for a casual spring look. The flowing fabric can make you look a little pregnant if you have a tummy, so I wore a good hipster underwear and just rocked this piece. I can imagine that if you have big hips, this would also accentuate that. Surprisingly, it was flattering for the arms and boobs, so I really enjoy wearing this.

Nice thick fabric
This is a nice dress, but very thick; better for a work/semi-formal event in the winter. I could not wear it as I had rented it for just going out with friends and felt the piece was too thick for the weather and the print was a bit too mature for me.

Such flattering cut and material!!
It's definitely low cut, super low cut... you can use fashion tape or something... but I opted for a one piece bodysuit that was classy looking and so that peaked through, and also kept everything in place with no panty lines to worry about. Such a gorgeous dress, partner was over the moon. It is a bit dressy, so not for casual events... and since it is low cut, I wouldn't feel comfortable wearing it to conservative events. So much fun...

Beautiful muted gold shade on this clutch
For some reason I felt like this could double as a wallet on holiday because I saw the inner part's photo. Not so, its kind of too huge for a wallet... and for a clutch. I can see this being perfect for a night out, but since I have limited space and I am trying to pack super light, I had to pass, sadly.

Beautiful, soft material and perfect for phone, keys, cards and lipgloss
Easy to wear as a clutch or a shoulder bag; matched all outfits at pal's wedding weekend of festivities. Matched casual, fancy, western, Desi, everything. Just one of those bags that makes you feel really happy you are carrying one. Lots of compliments. Shiny, but classy enough for a 36-year old.

Roomy and comfortable; easy to wear and versatile for different bottoms like black pants or jeans. Great rental.

Super comfortable, always en vogue with the trendy crowd
Another well-crafted score by Vince. This warm, cozy, and super roomy parka is ideal for cold, but dry late fall or winter days. It's quite warm and well-insulated so it will protect you from the winds and cold, but not from moisture. The hood looks great up zipped up or left down on the back. It's such a well-made piece of art for something as simple and timeless as a military green parka. You'd think it's hard to remake a classic, but Vince has done it really well...

So cute with the little slit
Looks plain but much prettier in real life. No stretch, I couldn't get it on. Maybe a few lbs later :)

Nice easy material for work
For a full busted person like me, the shirt has enough fabric and is generous. I never wore it because it was just too hot. Maybe in the late summer and fall days.

So much drama and flow, nothing off-duty about this piece
This dress was super long and super big, but the slip fit well... it wasn't as flattering as black stuff tends to be, I broke up its fan I was with a tattered jean jacket and some fun jewelry...and I had to wear it with 4-5 inch nude wedges. I looked like an on-duty runway model who bust out of work and was gliding to dinner....lol it was funny bc it was just too much for an evening out in the city. But dammit it was worth it, I wouldn't trade in that feeling for a second.

Bright, fancy, and fabulous: look-at-me is an understatement with this look!!
The dress fit perfectly for me. I didn't end up wearing it because...well... we just didn't end up going anywhere as fancy as I thought we would. Plus, it is a thick material... and the color is LOUD... think traffic cones. But it is classy in that it is an artistic choice, not a tacky one. I think the perfect setting for this look would be like Miami or LA or Rio in the winter... or Vegas or dancing. Just somewhere artsy and fabulous. You have to be really brave to wear this dress/ heads will turn.

This is a magical, movie star dress
I rented this for the 4th of July and it was just perfect. Beautiful, fabulous, head turning, just stunning... The 12 was kind of big for me in the bust so I tried a bunch of things from the kardashian boob taping (too risky for a hot day), to fashion tape (didn't stick), to realizing too late I should have taken it in at the top... I ended up wearing a light one piece shaped underneath and pinned the dress in a few spots. This is such a gorgeous and flattering, albeit busty and sexy, dress --- it's the kind of thing to invest in.

Romantic top
This is a cute top, but I didn't end up wearing it for my date. I just kind of felt the black was too much for such hot evenings. Maybe it was the fabric... but I couldn't dig it as much as I wanted to.

Bright colors!
This dress is super short, kind of form fitting with no stretch, but flattering and modest enough to enjoy. I paired it with some pretty earrings and loefler randall nude wedges. So much fun for a night out. I had to wear some spanx but i was actually more comfortable that way. The material is also kind of thick... I feel like it's the perfect summer dinner dress. I don't think it's appropriate for work or family functions, I think it is suited for friends and dates and errands and vacations and being out and about in that way. I actually think this would have made a perfect 4th of July dress... because it's casual yet sophisticated, the colors are vibrant yet smart. All around this is the kind of dress I would like to own, very versatile.

So different and fun, and PLCCK friendly!
The clutch is perfect for phone, lipgloss, cards, cash, & keys... PLCCK! It is a fresh design and unlike any clutch I have seen. It pairs perfectly with up and down evening or day looks and has that downtown edge to it.

Well-made and slimming
The top is great as far as off the shoulder goes... there is plenty of fabric and you will feel slender and slim in this. I can see pairing this with some frayed skinnies... but the pinstripes and the formalness of the material made me reconsider wearing this at night. I doubt I would wear this to work or any kind of meeting... so I am not sure when people wear this, so I returned it after trying it on. But it's a good brand and a well made top, despite the pink pinstripes and formal material.

Such a perfect everyday bag
This bag is smooth, just the right size for daily wear, and gorgeous. No one has outright complimented me, but I get so many looks with every ensemble. It sure beats a plain tote. I am going to look to purchase this.

Beautiful colors!
Dress is tight at bust, and I didn't wear a bra. I clearly have weight to lose, but the right colors made this too busy for me... it just didn't really work for me, although I wish it had because it is so pretty to look at.

I wore this to a graduation and it was perfect. I do think it was a bit warm in this, but it was very stylish and looked great in pictures. Very polished and you can never go wrong with Tibi.

So sexy!
This dress is unbelievably sexy, but like others have said there is no stretch and for someone with big boobs and broad upper body like me, it didn't work. I wasn't willing to compromise and wear a tank-top underneath -- instead this dress has singlehandedly given me some new body goals.

Beautiful colors
The dress was nice but the fabric is too heavy for a summer look. Also, I think mature women would find this more flattering. I felt off wearing this, so I opted not to.

Romance, flair, passion...
The dress runs kind of normal to large, lots of space in the waist and boob area. I found it easier to wear without a bra with no problems, I wore some spanx shorts to keep things streamlined and avoid thigh chafing. Oh my god, what a magical dress, you will just feel like Beyoncé in the "Hold Up" video, and heads will turn all through the city. Walk with flair, walk with style, and you will own the night in this dress, my loves!

Edgy, but classy look
The earrings were not heavy at all, and nice and long... a lot of fun. But require careful planning to combine with other accessories.

It was so huge that I tied the bow strings like a halter and wore a jean jacket over it for my meeting. Just way too big.

This shirt kind of flowed but also complimented my body well. I got many compliments and I think this is something I would like to purchase.

It's super cute and trendy
This is a very cute jacket and on trend, but I never got around to wearing it. It was way too casual and kind of roomy for a nighttime look. It has been too warm to have worn this.

This totally reminds me of the betsey Johnson charm bracelets I used to be obsessed with. It's just so cute and so summer. I wore this with a navy shift dress and huge earrings and it was perfect for a warm evening.

Feel like a million bucks wearing this. If I could afford it I would buy it. It's for nicer events or nicer evenings. Though it's pretty warm, I do not wear in high winds or rain/snow.

Horizontal stripes that actually flatter
It's a cute dress and the horizontal stripes actually work; I am 5'5" and the dress was too short and just way too young looking. I probably would not buy this.

The lady Gaga sleeves will Steal the show
Normally I don't like horizontal stripes or sleeves that do not suit my big arms... but this dress is a winner. I wore it on Super Bowl Sunday to dim sum and I loved the patriotic colors and the lady Gaga sleeves. Very flattering and maybe a bit too dressy for a Saturday, but hey YOLO and why not dress up and celebrate life every chance you get!

So feminine and so NYC
It is fitted by the boobs, but otherwise flows beautifully. Size down for sure. I wore one of my own slips which I find more comfortable than the included one. Turned heads all night. Styled it with black stockings and camel wedge booties. No complaints and glad I went to a size 8. I also wore a bodysuit shapewear inside that held my dd boobs down and I looked great. I will wear it again to opening night at the ballet before returning it.

Brand new design and brand new coat made me feel fabulous around town.
I got an XL, and it looked great since oversized looks are "in". I really liked the coat, though I am not crazy about the leather detailing, but that and the oversized collar are what help it stand apart. The XL allowed me to wear it with heavy sweaters; the versatile color and fit allowed me to glam it up and style it with daily wear. Next time, given my height and weight, I may try a Large to see how that fits.

Flattering cuts!
This jacket fits beautifully for my full bust apple shape, there is even a little bit of give in the sleeves that helps when wearing long sleeves or something with more fabric inside. The front flaps and zippers close all the way and even if I leave it open, they do a lot of concealing - protecting against the winter wind. The leather is luxurious without being "too much", the moto look is just right without too much noise... I can wear this day to night, casual to work to dinner to date to party, I can wear this with athleisure, with a nice dress, and with jeans. It can go with preppy clothes and with hipster clothes, with whatever is in my closet and with whatever I am borrowing. This can be paired with fun scarves. It is also a flattering and slimming piece. Seriously, my favorite RTR choice so far.
