Unique comfortable pants
I love everything about these pants: the fabric is quality, the length is great for taller ladies, and the style is unique yet very easy to wear.

Very heavy fabric for such a summery cut
This dress is probably perfect for a 70 degree day, one where you wouldn't need anything on your arms to keep you warm. It has so much fabric and no real shape that adding something to keep warm could look very unflattering. The fabric itself is very heavy, so when I tried it on to wear on an 80 degree day, it felt oppressive.

I love the color of this dress!
This dress would probably look lovely on someone with a smaller waist and hips than I have. I'm 36-27-36...but my waist only looks narrow from the side, and quite boxy from the front and back. So with the ruffle detail over the chest (which was JUST big enough for my 32DD chest), lack of waist on my part, and my hips amplified by the pleats...I couldn't find a way to feel sexy in this dress. That said, the quality, fabric and construction are incredible...and of course, the color! If you have a tiny waist, try it.

A unique and easy dress
The fabric of this dress is soft and stretchy; very comfortable to wear. The cut is cute and unique, but I couldn't quite get behind the ruffle on the bottom. It's a little out of my comfort zone. I'm holding onto this for awhile in case I feel like stepping outside of myself for the day because it is just so damn cute and fun to wear.
Tie Waist Lotus Dress

Easy to wear
The fabric and construction are quality. My issue was with the length. At 5'9" this dress hit me at the widest part of my athletic (thicker) calves, and thus looked unflattering.

Quality fabric, beautiful olive green shirt style maxi dress.
I LOVE this dress, as I am drawn to men's wear-inspired pieces and it in one of my favorite colors. It's relaxed fit with a matching belt to cinch the waist in. My build is pretty boxy, so I'm sure that this would look even better in someone with a more-defined waist. This dress is LONG. I'm 5'9.5" and this came to the floor in bare feet. The dress also has buttons all the way down so you can make it as conservative or revealing as you wish or the weather permits. I'll definitely be looking into keeping this one.

Love the stretchy-silky fabric.
The fabric is luxe and lovely. The pattern is on-trend and fun. I even love the high waist and fitted leg (given the aforementioned stretch to the fabric.) the one complaint I have is the front hook closure and zipper. IMO, if you're going to make flat front, high waisted, silky leggings/pants, you ought to go for a hidden side zip to keep the line of the front looking chic. I wish that I could buy this fabric and have them made that way.

In the right size this would be perfect
The medium was gone when I tried to rent it, so I thought that I would try the large instead. It proved to be too boxy and I didn't wear it...too much cool air drifted up from the loose bottom edge. That said, the quality of the faux fur was incredible! I had been concerned that it would have a heap look or feel to it, but instead I found it very silky and soft; a luxe feel. I'm goin to try it in Medium when it's avail.

Frumpy grandpa couture
I honestly can't imagine what Theory was trying to accomplish with these pants. The style is cute and modern, but the fabric is THE WORST! It reminds me of all those polyester "slacks" that a previous generation of grandfathers wore like a uniform their entire lives, and then donated to Goodwill to never be sold. If that wasn't bad enough, the "paper bag" waist only works if the belt cinches tight and the fly stays buttoned, neither of which were true. *I felt so unattractive in these pants that I almost left this review without a photo, but thought that maybe some of you wouldn't have believed how awful they looked on me.
Navy Gunilla Pants

Underwhelming and too short in the torso.
The fabric was different than I expected: thicker and not very lush feeling. When I tried it on, it was WAY too short in the torso, very tight across my chest and shoulders and even a bit tight in the waist. I'm a 4 or 6 in almost every dress, so I was surprised that the 6 was too small. The length was good: just brushing the tops of my feet; I could have worn it with flats or heels. I like the slit all the way up the leg, but that's about it. Even if it had fit me, I'm not sure that I would have worn it.

Very flattering cropped cut.
This sweater is well-made; great thick material, a flattering cut to show off your waist (or give the look of one if you are squarish like me), and long sleeves for us tall girls...I love it. I want to keep it.

I'm keeping this one!
Beautiful, simple, elegant top. The fit was perfect for me. I could slip it on without unbuttoning and it wasn't right across my chest. It looks good with jeans and sandals or a pencil skirt and heels. I love it. The only negative is the propensity for wrinkles, but that's expected with silk. I'll deal;)

Such a beautiful pattern, I wish the material and cut would have worked for me.
The fabric has a very lightweight silky feel, which I love for tops, but not necessarily pants as without the heaviness of regular fabrics, they hung wrong and bunched up when I sat. On top of that, the waist is flat in the front but elasticized in the back with a pretty thick and strong elastic. Because of this, these pants wanted to keep riding up to my natural waist rather than sit on my hips. When at my natural waist, the rise was just a tad too short; enough that with the pleats and the high waist, the cut reminded me of "Mom" jeans from the 80's...but even less flattering because of the flaw magnifying quality of silk. Oh, and they were super short on me! Like, weird short, even with boots. Overall I am very bummed that these weren't going to stay home with me and become my new favorite pants, like I had been hoping. These are beautiful pants for petite ladies for sure.

Interesting take on a wardrobe staple.
I loved this sweater; it's comfortable, form fitting without being tight, and flattering. I will likely t by again through the unlimited program, though I will size down to 2 for a better fit. My measurements are 37/27/35 for reference.
Navy Ribbed Cardigan

Interesting and unique
I loved this sweater upon first glance and ordered it with my unlimited membership. I wanted to fall in love with it so badly, but there is just something a little off about the fit. Because it has slits up both of the sides, the front part hangs a little funky, like a pseudo-poncho. The back part is also cut quite a bit longer than the front, which I'm usually into, but this sweater has a overall boxy cut and with the slits and the poncho-like quality, I felt more frumpy than chic; not the look I was going for.

Simple, elegant dress
I rented this for a "suit-up Saturday" dinner with my boyfriend and friends. It's beautiful. I'm a hair under 5'10" and the 4Long fits perfectly lengthwise with heels; I would need the regular length if I were wearing flats. Many of the reviews mentioned that the size 4 and the 6 fit almost the same and I think that I should have gone with the 6 for the extra room across the chest (32DD) That said, the fabric has stretch and is very comfortable, I'm sure only I will know that it's a little tight.

Easy to wear, unexpected piece.
I was unsure about this piece because I don't usually wear crop-tops layered over anything, but it intrigued me enough to try it out with my unlimited membership. I'm so glad that I did! It's fun and comfortable while looking sharp, my boyfriend commented immediately that he loved it, and I felt good in it. I might size up one more size because of my chest (32DD) but I haven't tried the larger size yet.
