This jacket runs very small, especially in the arms. I usually wear a 4 and this was far too tight.

Beautiful color but too short for work
I loved the fit and feel of his dress, but found it too short to wear to work. It seemed like it was possibly ok when I left the house because it's not tight on the bottom. But I have to admit, I was self conscious all day. I am typically a size 4 and the small fit perfectly.

Stunning modern classic
I wore this dress to a gala for a vintage movie theatre and it definitely stood out in the crowd. I received so many compliments all night long. I'm 5'5" and 135/ curvy athletic build. I usually wear a 2-4 depending on the cut of the dress and found the Small to fit well. I have a more muscular arm and found the sleeves to be very tight without much give. When I initially put the dress on, I wasn't sure it was going to work. I ended up stuffing the sleeves with towels prior to going out and it was far more comfortable as the night went on and the fabric gave a bit. I highly recommend this dress for any semi formal to formal occasion.

Less than flattering
I love DVF dresses but this one missed the mark for me. It was a bit too short and too tight to wear to work. Ended up returning without wear.

This sweater is absolutely beautiful. It runs true to size. The cut is perfect. It looks great with jeans, skirt or dress pants. Highly recommend.

This dress is so beautiful on. Showed off all my curves without being uncomfortably tight. The sleeves do start to fall down a bit through the night. I suggest fashion tape.

Beautifully cut, classic DVF
You can never go wrong with a DVF wrap. I wore this beauty to a work conference in FL. The print was perfect and the sleeves kept me comfortable in the blasting AC. I have no doubt I will rent this again this summer.

Pretty dress but not for my build
I love Raul and the quality of the clothing but this dress is not cut for a girl with a booty. The peplum on the bottom hit right in the middle of my butt and was not flattering at all. Sent it back without wearing.

Great for work and play. This dress was beautiful on. I wore it with a white blazer to work and a fun necklace. Wish I had snapped a photo. For was beautiful.

Pretty print for spring
Great work dress. Note that this dress had no give. I typically wear a 6 in DVF. As a curvier girl I found this to be large in the waist and could have possibly gone down a size. I wore it to a breakfast for Komen and it was perfect for the event. The weather was colder than anticipated so I threw on a blazer.

Pretty dress, nice fabric, funny sizing.
I ordered this in a M. I had never worn a TY-LR dress before. It was just cut a bit funny for me with sizing being S, M, L,etc. I have a curvy body and the ruffle hit right in the middle of by booty. It just didn't flatter me in the right areas. I sent it back without wearing. On the plus side, the fabric had a beautiful print and was nice and thick, just not for my body type.

I love Shoshanna, but this dress just didn't do it for me. The sleeves are very fitted so if you have more defined arms it can feel a little snug. The quality of the fabric was not as thick as one would think for this dress. I sent it back without wearing it. I am normally a 4/6 and more than likely should have ordered this in a M instead of a S.

Versatile piece that's a great transition from winter to spring.
This piece was great. I had a work conference in Chicago in April which meant the sun could be out one minute and snow the next. I wore this jacket casually with a black long sleeve top and jeans to dinner, then over a black dress while at the tradeshow. I got a lot of compliments. The fit is very boxy, so no need to size up. I feel like it would have fit better one size down.

Cute basic top
The fit on this top was pretty boxy. I had it for a few weeks but only wore it once. I think that's mostly because I'm either dressed up for work or in gym clothes. This was a great top for a casual week night dinner with friends. A lot of reviews found this to run a bit bigger but I think the cut is just boxy. If you have athletic arms and shoulders, don't size down.

Quality fabric. Sophisticated look.
This was a great work dress. So chic and classic. Comfortable for the car and little wrinkle. Would rent again and consider purchasing.

High quality fabrics. Timeless cut
I loved this dress. It was such a flattering cut. I'm a curvy 6 and the fabric was such a high quality, but have very little give. I had ordered this and another back up and went with the other dress. I would rent this again in the future. I was sad to not have anywhere to wear it to.

High quality fabric. Stunning classic cut.
I wore this to a local awards banquet. The cut was beautiful. I wish I had taken a photo of the back of the dress because it was beautiful. Some said it was right in the chest and loose in the hips. I am curvier so I found it to be ok in the chest and fitting in the hips. Great, classy, timeless piece with just enough edge with the open back to make it current.

Pretty print, but cut is a little off.
The print of this dress is beautiful, but the cut runs small in the hips. If you're a curvy girl or have a booty, it will fit tighter in the hips and run a little too short of a professional workplace.

Runs overall but extra tight in the hips
I wanted to be in love with this dress, but as a typical 4 I ordered a 6 and could not get it zipped over my curvy hips. I suggest ordering up a size and your backup size being an even bigger size just in case.
