Cute.
Suggested size fit well. This brand seems to run a little loose in the chest area for me, but that's probably just my lack of endowment at work. Cute and comfortable in the hot weather. I wore a strapless bra under it, but you might be able to wear a regular bra if the straps are narrow enough or if you don't care that they show.

Nice. A bit heavy.
Such a pretty color. Fit well everywhere except the chest where It would slide down and show my bra, etc. Tying up the little ties helped with that a bit. I may wear it once more untied with a tank or cami under it. The fabric is heavy polyester, so not especially cool on a hot summer night.

Too big for me!
These are enormous! Or so they seemed to me. I would have worn them once or twice if they were a bit smaller, but they're too much for me as is.

Ginormous Armholes
This is a beautiful top, but the armholes are just too big. So I didn't wear it. I sized down as others suggested and it fit everywhere else. Too bad, as it's a pretty summer thing.

Comfy summery dress
I thought this fit well. Maybe a little on the large side, as I was able to easily pull this over my head without unzipping it. The fabric is heavy, with some stretch. This was pretty cute with a white denim jacket and white Converse. I'm sorry I didn't get a pic. The pockets were GREAT, but I did think that maybe they hung open a little bit? Anyway, I'd rent this again when the weather cools off a bit. Maybe try a size down, too.

Pretty staple
The fit on this was a little wonky on me but still liked it very much. The bust was a little loose but a smaller size would have been too snug around the middle. Very pretty cape -like top. Heavy material that doesn't breathe much. A simple pretty staple. I'd keep it if it wasn't too heavy/warm.

Too big
Ended up not packing this for our trip. It's just too big even with the straps adjusted all the way down. It's pretty, just too big for me. Also, I'm 5'8" and delighted with the length, but this would drag the floor on someone shorter.

Adorable little bag!
This is super cute. I'll probably wear it more on my shoulder than cross body. I'm 5'8" and it seems just a tad short for me to comfortably wear cross body. Has room for cards, money, a slender compact and lipstick. Will definitely carry this a few more times.

Too big
This shirt is cute, but too big and oddly shaped on me. The darts came in substantially below my bust and the body of the shirt kind of pooched out on the sides. I'd size down and try it again, but the fabric is so heavy that it will be too hot for a SoCal summer. Maybe in November?
Draped Sleeve Top

Too small
Usually a 1X works for me in most things. And usually I worry that things will not fit around my apple stomach. But this was so tight in the chest that I was afraid I would tear it if I pulled it down. Couldn't wear it.

Nice bag. Heavy leather.
This navy bag is well made and substantial with thick leather and heavy hardware. It is very good looking. That said, it is not large and the opening under the flap is smaller than you'd think. Also, its heft is maybe a little too much for the thin backpack straps. I adjusted the straps but never did figure out how to make the bag hang properly. Still, I might get it again.

Sparkly!
This was a lovely addition to the dress I wore to a black-tie-optional event. My dress had a high neckline, so the necklace did slip under it at times. Perhaps better worn with a deeper neckline or with an extender as someone mentioned in another review.

Uncomfortably small.
This is a pretty and substantial piece. Unfortunately, it is quite small. I can get it on, but it is not comfortable. It's tight and heavy and rubs my wrist bone hard. So I will not be able to wear it and it's going right back.

Perfect for black-tie-optional evening wedding.
Pretty and sparkly. Not tiny, but not roomy either. Big enough for a phone and a few other necessaries but not much more. Soft-sided.
