I wanted to like this
It might be my torso, but I felt like the fluffiness of the sleeves was out of whack with the croppedness. It felt like a bolero jacket or something, but without an opening...I tried it with high waist pants and under overalls, but it didn't work for me. The fabric is nice and thick!

Flimsy
The fabric isn't sturdy like a lot of leggings; it felt almost like parachute fabric. It also revealed scars and bumps on my legs, so that was a bummer.

It wants to be cute, but...
The edges roll in: It kind of looked like the armholes were hugging my armpits and my bra straps. It was comfy but not cute. Looked like fast fashion.

Reliable!
These were great. I prefer a dark wash, but I gave these a shot and they were fine.

I wish these reliable and non-stretchy jeans were available in a dark wash.

Lovely material and feel
This dress was lovely, especially in theory. In practice, the 10 was too tight around my ribcage, but the 12 was a bit gapey. I didn't end up wearing either of them.

Okay
These were stretchier than I like, and they seemed trendy. They were comfy, but I felt a little try-y wearing them in public.

Couldn't wear them
This fit is different from 501's; I needed to size up to fit my thighs comfortably. I was bummed.

Too long for shorter legs
These were a bit on the squeez-y side, anyway, but they were so long I was stepping on the hems. I couldn't wear them.

Gorgeous; couldn't wear
This dress was great, but the size I needed wasn't available. I hoped the 12 would work, but it was so big I felt like I was a kid playing dress up in grownups clothes. I was sad not to be able to wear it.

The dress is great and comfy, but the condition when it arrived was sketch, which is why I gave it three stars

I wanted to buy it!
The material on the collar and the skirt is so much more vibrant than I expected; I wish I could have all sorts of things in this pattern. I loved the ties on the wrist (but they really make it hard to do anything regular, like rinsing a spoon or feeding a pet...) and felt very luxurious and fancy with them. The bottom of the dress fit like a glove, but the top was a bit extra flouncy. It covered the (nice looking) waist of the skirt, which was a bit of a bummer, and it kind of puckered around my armpits and shoulders. As others have mentioned, the boob flaps require kind of a tight tie to stay in place. The second time I wore this dress, I left the flaps down beneath the skirt and just wore a camisole. I liked that way better as it was more comfortable and gave me some back coverage so my bra wasn't hanging out.

Super soft and a bit low cut
I was underwhelmed by the fit of this. It is super soft and the color is lovely, but it kind of hung like a sweatshirt, and it was more low cut than I'd planned. I wore it to work one day and felt self-conscious of the cleavage, so I mostly just wore it to walk the dog and run errands.

Nice and reliable
There's a reason these are classics. They fit great and don't stretch out as much as some jeans. The length is just right (ankle skimming) for my short legs, so if you wear petite sizes, you can likely wear these.

Really liked these!
I am reliably a 32 in Levi's, so I was nervous to follow advice and size down, but I'm glad I did. These suited my belly nicely and made me feel all coordinated and tucked in. I loved them and would've bought them if they were priced more like Levi's...

These are festive feeling
The day before I returned them I realized: you can wear the hoop part alone without the green half moon! I wish I'd noticed this sooner (and I'm not really sure how I didn't...) Even without realizing that, I wore them plenty. They are pretty and comfy.

Many compliments
I didn't love this, but I swear everyone who saw it raved about it--the color, the sleeves, the v-neck, the softness. All the affirmation got me wearing it more than I would've otherwise (and the compliments just kept coming). It is soft and nice on the skin. It was maybe on the warm side, and I thought it felt bulky.

I loved this!
I found this versatile and comfortable. I wore it like a blazer a couple times, and I also wore it like a fall jacket a couple times. I liked it so much that I thought about buying it, but then I realized I had received not one compliment. I mentioned it to my partner, and they said it looked too big and a bit dumpy on me. haha I will definitely order a medium when it's available and hope to keep that one.

Perfect length
I have short legs, and these were ideal. I ordered the black ones for my next shipment. This color is really nice and I got consistent compliments. The rise is a bit long (for me), so sometimes there was an awkward gap and some visible buttons, but it seemed like a small problem considering how well everything else fit (waist, butt, length).

They're nice
I gave these a second chance in a smaller size (one size down from my usual) and I'm glad I did. They are comfy and I thought they were pretty flattering.

It's fine
I got a lot of compliments on this sweater, but I wasn't in love with how it looked or felt. It was so oversized seeming that I couldn't even notice the sleeve shape (which I thought was cute on the model).

Interesting...
For other large-breasted folks: this did not gap in front when buttoned! I also found the teal pretty flattering. The tie down the back felt awkward, though, especially with a jacket or cardigan, so I just tied it in front. I thought it looked decent like that. The length was shocking--this almost felt like a tunic, and tucking it in required extra care to make sure the bunchiness wasn't obvious.

Too long to wear
I do have short legs, but these were well past my toes...way too long to make due with a little cuff or a higher shoe. As other reviews mentioned, they looked NICE up top; I really wanted to wear them someplace. I expected them to be high rise (which they weren't), and somehow they still held me in/together in a way that would've been nice to show off.

Meh
I wasn't into these. They felt kind of like costume jewelry to me. Admittedly, I am not one for enormous earrings, so I was branching out in trying these. As another review mentioned, they aren't super heavy or uncomfortable, so if they seem like your style, don't hesitate!

I didn't wear this at all.
It was too big in the waist and looked droopy and saggy and sad. The drawstring situation kind of added to that, it felt like. It has a little slit in the front which I didn't notice in the photos, and I liked that. I also liked the print actually more than I did on the website. If the drawstring/waist area were a little more tailored looking, I'd probably size down and try again, but I don't think I will.

Even cuter than I expected
I loved this sweater. It looks and feels cozy and femmey while fitting nicely, not oversized-ly. It was warmer than I expected, so I couldn't wear it outside as much as I wanted to without getting uncomfortable. If it were a darker (less stain-prone) color, I would have been tempted to buy it. As it is, I was too nervous about spilling to eat or drink anything in it, so it was just for walks and errands and feeling autumnal.

Comfy and flattering
I hesitated to get this because the other reviewers had smaller bodies and boobs than I do. I am so glad I got it! I'm keeping it for another cycle because it is so flattering. The fabric is nice and sturdy while still being form-fitting. I've worn it twice in the past week, and I'm happy to have it in rotation for another cycle.
