Frumpy
Weird baggy fabric with poor structure. I am a 27/28 and the 28s were much too big. I don't think a smaller size would have been any more flattering. Skip.

Boxy, oversized in a bad way
Not flattering on my shape which was unfortunate because the color, fabric, and design had promise.

Huge
I really wanted to love this but it was too big to wear. I am a S/M and large in the chest. The bust on this was still much too large for me.

The perfect work bag. Fit my 13" laptop no problem. One attached zip insert that fit my wallet and keys, no other pockets. If this were cheaper I would purchase.

Nice basic
Not sure if this was too big or intentionally oversized, but I got a lot of use out of this. Nothing special, but a straightforward basic for denim lovers. The matching shorts were a bummer.

Found this to be ill fitting. Ran large but does not work for the oversized look. Buttons gave grandma energy.

Nice color / fit
I have also rented this in black and enjoy the wrap fit. Note that the blue color shows any sort of moisture droplet and the lower half will blow right open when walking in a slight breeze.

Basic staple
Fit nicely, dragged this around a conference and found it to be versatile. The material is relatively casual.

Promising but small in the waist
I am between two sizes and went with the smaller one. That was a mistake. The leg of the pant balloons out from the hip so if the waist was too small they look like clown pants.

I liked this when unbuttoned but it felt frumpy when buttoned

Fabric and color were great. Not the most flattering but enjoyed under a jacket

Simple, chic
Classic blue indoor bomber jacket. Ties together most outfits. Note that the waistband is quite cinched but stretchy.

This is an outdoor coat
I thought this would be an indoor/outdoor kind of situation, but I was wrong. The black lining is faux fur and the coat is thick. Wore outside on a 55deg Chicago day.

Trim is red, not waterproof
This is a basic single layer cotton overcoat. Perhaps meant for warm fall days with no precipitation. Note that the trim is maroon red, not brown. Cut was cute.

Soft fabric, fit was huge
I typically wear a size 27 or 28 in pants and the 28 was enormous. At risk of falling off my waist. Size aside, the cut and the fabric were both nice. Color was a bit challenging to match.

Second time renting, I love this sweater. Texture and cut of a cropped sweatshirt, weight of a knit sweater.

Fine, better for small chests
The design and fabric was ok, but the bust line looked a bit silly on by D chest. The seam kept riding up above my bus line.

Too big?
I had been hoping to wear this zipped up with a bit of the zipper open at the top and the bottom, like what is shown in the model pics. That looked ridiculous on me, Perhaps this could have been pulled off if I had ordered a smaller size for a tight fit.

Long/big but great
Soft fabric, flattering cut. My typical size is a 27/28 and I found this 28 to be a tad big but still totally wearable.

I can't believe the reviews on these were so good! Zero structure, overly baggy, wrinkly fabric. I tried them on and immediately took them off never to wear again.

Awkward cut
Unflattering cut - not quite boxy but not quite curvy. Neckline needed to be a tad lower. Just felt frumpy.

Tiny! But cute
Very small in the bust and very cropped. Still wore under a denim jacket but would not wear on its own. Was a bit afraid that the buttons in the center of my chest would pop open.

Tenty but cute
The cut makes me feel like I am wearing a tent but the neckline and cutouts make up for the matronly shape.

Ordered up and it was too large!
I lean toward S/M but ordered a L after reading reviews. Was much too large. Will order again as a M. Nice structure and details.

Not breathable so kept me warm in the winter. Slightly oversized fit but nothing crazy.

Weird fit
I wanted the length to either be longer or shorter and the shoulder seams hit partway down my bicep. Couldn't find a suitable outfit to pair this with.

Poofy sleeves
The sleeve-to-body connection gave a wing-like vibe that was not to my taste. The jacket looked unfinished when left unzipped and huge when zipped. Pass.

No belt loops, small pockets
The cut of these jeans was nice, but the pockets, waistband, and lack of belt loops left this design lacking.

The shoulders looked comically large on my frame, but the material and construction was nice. Would work well on someone with larger shoulders.
