Great pattern, but very cropped
I really liked the pattern/style, but the material was dense and heavy. It was also too cropped for my comfort. I wore to work with high waisted jeans (I work in a casual, agency environment) but was conscious of my midriff showing all day.

Great neutral, but statement piece.
Wore with a pair of dark grey jeans. Got lots of compliments at work. It was cropped enough I couldn't really tuck it in, but met the waistband of my jeans nicely, and didn't show any middriff unless I raised my arms.

Lots of compliments
Really cute skirt that I dressed down with a white tee and denim jacket. The XS was a bit snug on my waist (I am either an XS or S in skirts). I wore this to work twice and got compliments both times.

Wish they were cropped
These were soft and comfortable and a nice staple piece. However, I would have like the style more if they were shorter on me. I feel like you lose the raw hem effect when the leg of the Jean hits the foot, which was the case for me with these.

Great skirt!
I really liked this skirt. It was a great transitional piece from summer to fall. The small worked for me, but I could have also sized down to an XS and been able to wear.

Something Different
I liked the style of this shirt, but it felt a bit tired to me. My top in particular had two small stains. I have broad shoulders, which often cause trouble with button up shirts, but this worked in an XS.

Great style!
I typically wear a size 27 in jeans, but can go down to 26 in some brands (J Crew). I ordered the 25 because that was all that was available, and it was a risk. I was able to wear these, but they were tight. They loosened throughout the day thou. I loved the style and could see myself getting a lot of wear out of them. I would size down one size.

Disappointing Quality and Fit
I found this dress to run small. I can be either an XS or S in dresses, and I wasn't comfortable in the XS, particularly the length. I also found the material to be very thin, showing ever line underneath. Had it been longer and more quality material, I could have worn, but had to return.

Runs Large
This dress was very oversized. I typically wear an XS or S in dresses and felt like I was swimming in this. It felt like an old-time nightgown.

Great style for summer!
Loved the style of this bag and used my entire vacation (plus some). Beware that there is no zipper or closure at the top, and because of of the circular shape, it often didn't stay up straight when set down. It would roll over and a couple times the contents fell out.

Too large to wear
I so wanted to love this as I had it in mind for a work trip to Paris, and it came new with tags. Unfortunately the Small was too large and since the material was heavy, it created a boxy fit and showed no figure whatsoever so I had to send back without wearing. I recommend sizing down.

A little worn...
The top was cute but ran a bit small (in the arm holes, and length) and overall felt overworn. The ties were very flimsy and didn't hold or appeared as wide as they do in the photos.

Pretty dress; sizing discrepancy
I received lots of compliments on this dress. I usually wear a dress size 2 or 4. I only received the 4 (all other sizes were booked) and it definitely did not fit like a shift; it was pretty form fitting. If you are looking for a shift dress, order up a size or two.
