Gorgeous colors
I love the look of this piece. The colors are gorgeous and the stitching detail makes it special. The only drawback is that the fabric is very thick and stiff. Hard to wear a coat over. This would be 5 stars if it were softer.

Cute shirt for work or to dress up jeans
Pretty color, nice thick fabric that drapes well. A bit low cut. If I wore it to work it would have needed a camisole, but I wore it for a date night so it was just fine.

Warm, runs big
This is a cute, easy to wear look. The material is a velour knit. That wasn't clear to me from the pictures. Very soft and flowy. I could have use d an XS if it had been available. Size down if you are small in the chest and shoulders. The scoop neck is rather wide.

Tough sizing for taller girls
I wanted to love this sweater but the fit was funny. The sleeves were quite short, but not an obvious 3/4 length, so they just made me look weird and gawky, especially since the sweater is a loose and bulky style. This looked awkward and frumpy on my 5'8" frame. The white is also starting to look a bit dingy and pilled, which wouldn't have bothered me as much if the fit had been better. Only wore this once during the 3 weeks I had it.

Lovely color, runs a bit small in waist
This is a lovely color and fabric. I had to wear a camisole under it. Also, the waist is a little small. It looks in the picture like it would be quite adjustable with the ribbon tie, but it is not. I am by no means large-waisted, but I do have a bit of a mom tummy after 2 kids. If you have a curvy waist, you may want to size up.

Fun jacket that can be dressed up or down.
Fun jacket that can be dressed up or down. And it is WARM. I live in Wisconsin, where December temps are chilly, and this was perfect for wearing around holiday time.

Warm and comfy like a sweater should be
Nice and thick, comfortable loose fit, and very wearable sweater. The one I received was a little pilly, which is the only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5. LOVE this sweater.

Beautiful, versatile dress
Beautiful, high quality dress that's flattering and just plain pretty. I wore it for an art opening event but plan to wear it again dressed down for work with boots and leggings. I imagine this silhouette would be attractive on many body types because of the drawstring waist that can be adjusted.

Great, versatile bag
This is great bag perfect for pretty much any occasion. I would have given it 5 stars, but the one that came to me has some wear... the leather is starting to look a bit dull. No big deal for my purposes--I plan to use it for a few nights out here and there while I have it this month.

The color did not work for me
I really wanted to love this piece, but the color just did not work for me. In the pictures it looks like a red-orange, but not so in real life. In real life it is definitely a neon orange, like what hunters call "blaze orange" or what prisoners wear. I'm not afraid of a loud color but this color just was not attractive on me. (I'm brown hair, brown eyes, olive skin if that helps).

If I could marry this jacket I would
I should write a love sonnet for this jacket. Soft and a substantial weight for warmth and wind blocking (great for midwestern spring). The hardware and tailoring are spot on. The collar lays just where it should when worn open. It's comfortable and the color goes with everything. My only complaint is that I wish it were an inch or two longer--I'm 5'8" and it goes up quite high in the back, but since that's in style right now it works. Love love love this jacket.

Beautiful shirt, a little fussy
The fabric, pattern, and colors of this top are gorgeous. The long ties on the sleeves made it a little too fussy for my liking, but a beautiful shirt nonetheless.

fun, trendy jacket
This is a fun, trendy jacket perfect for a night out. It has some warmth without being too bulky. It runs a bit short if you're on the tall side, but I layered it with a long shirt underneath.

Soft, comfy and warm
This sweater is comfortable to wear and warm without being too hot. It runs on the short side. I'm 5'8" and 130 lbs and rented the medium. I wore a camisole underneath it tucked into my jeans so I wouldn't flash people with my belly. A fun twist on an everyday sweater, though!

Fun fun fun
Rented this for a disco themed party and the sparkles were perfect. The wide V neck does make the shoulders a little bit challenging to stay up, especially on this small-busted lady, but some fashion tape will help. I'm usually a size 4 and the small fit perfectly except for the shoulder issue noted.

Fun fabric, fit not right for me
I don't think I'm curvy enough to wear this. I rented it for a party but ended up wearing something else. This is gorgeous, but very low cut and I'm not very busty so it didn't really work on me. (I'm 5'8" with small bust and narrow hips). It would be stunning on someone a little curvier, I think.

Versatile piece
I ordered the 4L and could have gone with a regular, but with tall shoes it skimmed the floor and was just right (I'm 5'8"). The fabric and drape of this piece are just gorgeous, as is the color. It can be dressed up or played down depending on accessories. I wore it to a disco party and got a ton of compliments. Plus, the flow the material was great for dancing.
