Better on the hanger
These are cute but such a wide leg and ruched butt - I don't think it matters if you size down. I wore w a cropped fitted tank and it still was just worth a one-time wear.

Too much fabric
The bodice of this and the length of dress and sleeves were nice but much too much fabric at the bottom and I didn't like how it was gathered. Just not for me.

All around NO
I didn't like a thing about this. The arms were too short, the fabric much too stiff, the collar was wonky. Just a sad pick all around.

Beautiful but didn't fit right
I thought this heavier, textured fabric was gorgeous for a spring event. Some reviews said the rib cage was a bit tight so I got the L. It fit perfectly in the rib cage but left giant pockets in the chest area that I will not be able to fill LOL. Had to return without wearing.

The best!!
I wore this SO many times this winter. It was so soft and breathable and went with so many things. I would have bought it but too $$$ and a fairly memorable piece as well. I sized up to L and it was perfectly roomy without being baggy.

Sparkly and stretchy
This was so cute but sadly too big! I find a lot of dress designers run small and figured 10 would be a safe choice. This was too big to even make it work. Of note, the straps aren’t adjustable. It would have been fine for me but just a heads up!

Conservative and comfy
I was deciding between the 8 and 10 and was SO glad I chose the 10. The 8 wouldn’t have zipped. I’m a 34C/36B for reference. The top of this pantsuit is so well designed. It has a clasp inside to keep it held up and cups built into the lining so you might not need a bra. The bow/tie in back is a nice touch. The gold fabric is pretty and shimmery to look at but looks a bit dull in photos. I also ordered the long size (I’m 5’11), but they weren’t terribly long. The open toed shoes I’m wearing in the first pic are a standard 4-inch heel and they are way too short. I’m wearing a 1-inch heel in the second and it just works okay. I’m not wearing this bc I think the pants are too short and I was looking for something a little more fun for my event.

Just okay...
It was a bit bulky in the shoulders and the material just didn't feel all that nice. I wore it once and called it a day!

Cute and better w a belt
I’m 5’11 and was worried this might be too short in the torso. It worked fairly well and I think adding the belt was the touch it needed. The material was a nice cotton and not too thick or poofy and made for a nice ‘end of summer’ outfit.

A fun choice
The cotton was crisp. The pattern was fun. It stayed tied nicely. Not the best for a windy day but you know that going into it! There was a lot of volume in the sleeves and skirt. I also thought it was a good length for me but I’m 5’11 so something to keep in mind!

The slit may get you
I thought this would be a great spring choice with some tall saddle color boots. The material was really soft and comfortable. However! The slit came to not even a hands length from my crotch. Way too scandalous for the style of the dress and def wouldn’t wear it to da club either. So I didn’t wear it at all. I’m 5’11 so if you’re shorter, it could be a great choice!

Great, comfortable pants
I really liked these pants. I almost didn’t pick them because the details state the inseam is 20-something inches. I’m 5’11 and wore these with a kitten heel and they were perfect. I will say the jacket ran much bigger than the pants. I felt like a clown in the matching blazer and thought it looked much better with black.

Cute but not for me
I thought the length of this dress might work for me even though I’m 5’11. The dress itself was cute, but the shape wasn’t flattering on me. I don’t think it was too short.

Cute but some things to know
I’ve owned several Hill House dresses so I assumed it would run quite large. The top was SO tight. Maybe it would work without a bra but then it wouldn’t look as good. I don’t think there’s anywhere I can wear as is so will need to return it. It’s also quite long. I’m 5’11 so I didn’t mind that, but good to know!
