Psychedelic
I loved this crazy pattern. Frequently DVF runs small for me, but this fit great and was true to size even for my sizable hips. Sleeves were short but worked well so it didn't get in the way.

Relaxed and cute
This is a fantastic blazer. I couldn't tell what material it is, but it almost feels like a soft denim or textured broadcloth-material that appears more expensive with the lovely pattern. If you don't have the matching pants, a black dress or outfit underneath highlights the pattern and looked amazing.

Solid and super warm
Sized up slightly as a large was available, and usually I can go up in a jacket easily because of my shoulders/chest. I wouldn't recommend it in this coat, as it is already bulky and heavy. But definitely kept me warm and looked cool and oversized.

Fantastic pants for work, play, parties
I got these pants with tags still on and loved them. They are beautiful and soft, no stretch, but fit easy. I usually wear a 8 and got a 10, and the waist was too large but they were easily belted but didn't look bad in any way. I would note that the hips run a bit small, and so I probably would still get the 10 again and just belt them. I wore these as much as possible in the last 2 weeks, including for Christmas, for work, for holiday parties, for shopping around town, just about everything. I got compliments from everyone on them, and one of my colleagues told me that 3 people down the hallway were staring at me and saying how great these pants were.

Cute skirt, but too big in the waist
It was a nice skirt, but ran too big in the waist and fit me around the hips instead of my true waist. I ended up sending it back and never wore it.

Didn't end up wearing - sent it back
I thought this would be a cute dress for a work dinner, as it had style but also covered everything. This turned out to be the wrong dress, and I sent it back without wearing it. The hips are actually more fitted than I expected, but the main problem was the waist - it was really too big. I looked like a lumberjack in a dress, and I lost all my curves in this dress. I thought the fabric would be lightweight, but it is actually much more substantial and probably more appropriate for the fall. I think that it actually may be better for people who are more straight rather than with a small waist and hourglass figure. I know Temperly tends to run small, but the waist was too big and I think the hips wouldn't have fit if I sized down any further.

Pants were nice, not great for work
The pants are a heavy satin fabric and they do generally hit at the ankles for me. I didn't wear them with heels, I instead wore them with pointed flats. I think they would look better with a heel. The wide legs are huge. I think this would be great for an event, like an art gallery, or going out, but for work the pants were really just big and kind of baggy, and I felt a bit ridiculous walking in them. Despite this, I received multiple compliments. Waist runs towards the larger side and there is plenty of room in the hips, so only size for the waist.

Favorite Skirt Ever
This skirt is fantastic. I threw it into my cart last minute and couldn't be happier. I thought it was a bit out there for me with layers, and with the ties, but because it is such a neutral color, the style of it really shines. You can wear it with a blouse, or even with a T-shirt and dress it down. I wore this multiple times, multiple days in a row. I had lots of compliments, including one from a 95 year old. I'd buy it if it cost less. It does wrinkle, and I needed to steam it when it arrived. It looks better once you steam it.

Cute everyday work shirt
I liked this blouse; the pattern was great, and people around me were telling me that it was like Rorschach spots where they were seeing animals and figures in it. Lovely lightweight fabric, very thin silk. The sleeves have elastic and I wore them 3/4 length. The top gapes a bit but less if you use the ties that hang off to bunch up to collar a bit. More of an overall fuchsia than it comes across in the photo. Looks great with olive pants.

Fantastic dress, feminine, curvy figure friendly and Rainbow!
This dress fits fantastic if you size down one full size. I'm am mostly a size large, but the size medium fit me perfectly and I normally wear size 12. The movement and cut of the skirt if fantastic and I ended up liking the sleeves and ties more than I thought I would. I ended up wearing it the next day after work out to dinner with a friend. It's also not too low cut and remains work appropriate. I will note that this is unlined, and while that makes it very lightweight and breezy, that also means it can develop a bit of cling at times. Love this dress.

Perfect work skirt
I adored this skirt at work. I got compliments from my colleagues and everyone else, along with random people in the hallways. I thought it would be a bit odd when I first picked it out online, but in person the pattern is fabulous, and it hangs beautifully. It looks fantastic with a short sleeved black top. It was easy to wear, has a nice lining and doesn't cling, and felt very feminine and beautiful.

Beautiful color and lightweight fabric, not a great fit
I wanted to love this dress. It is a deep beautiful fuchsia with lovely blue and turquoise. However, the fit really was not good. I think this dress is better for athletic or straight women. I am hourglass/curvy and for me, it didn't show off any of my good sides. The waist is too high to show that off. It made my hips look large and didn't really show off my bust. Even my husband really wasn't impressed with it. However, gorgeous fabric and lovely. The plunge is also quite deep. I didn't end of up wearing it and instead wore one of my own dresses.

Reminiscent of the '80s
This jacket is a beautiful color, but it runs large. I probably should have just sent it back. I usually need to size up with blazers to fit my chest, but this was boxy in the shoulders and too long in the arms, which is very unusual for me. Otherwise it is a beautiful jacket, clean cut, with a nice shape, and very comfortable. The shoulder pads were just too prominent for me; it might have been better going down a size.

Great jacket that goes with a lot
I brought this to a conference. It was a fantastic blazer for travel. It worked as my outside layer for the plane with jeans and a Tshirt, a great blazer to dress up an outfit, and went well over a dress. It was easy to wear and true to size.

Definitely runs small
I used to wear a 14, now have lost 20 pounds and am closer to a 12. I tried a 14 and it was hard to zip up. The bust is really small, and because of that it limits arm movement. Don't rent this wanting to do the YMCA. Go 1-2 sizes up depending on your curviness. Otherwise, it actually is a really beautiful dress. I wore it to work with multiple compliments. The color is gorgeous.

Makes me feel so sexy
This jacket is slightly more dark mauve or purple in real life, but is a great neutral color. I wore this with jeans and T-shirt earlier in the day and it dressed it up, and then with Jason Wu two tone handkerchief dress later on to make it a bit more hip for a date. It is very comfortable, but well fitted. I recommend sizing up.

One of my favorite dresses
I love this dress. This is my second time renting this dress. It is very forgiving. I previously rented it 15 pounds heavier - it looked great then, and it looks great now. As there is plenty of stretch I would pick your true size or down if in between. It is so comfortable, you can wear a normal bra, and it is easy to dress up or down. I started out this time by pairing it with heels and looked fabulous, but then my feet had a fit and I changed to sneakers with a leather moto jacket. I'd consider buying this.

Feminine and lovely pattern
I loved this dress, but it was colder than I expected so I picked another for my date. I tried it on with my aqua heals and I wanted to go out dancing. I generally wear a size 12-14, and the 12 worked well. Normal bras will show in the back, so plan ahead. I think this is a great dress for curvy ladies.

Loved the flow, felt so feminine
I felt like a Grecian Goddess in this dress. I didn't end up wearing it and instead wore another since it was more chilly that I had expected. But I loved it and plan on renting again when it warms up. It is low cut, but not crazily so. I sized up from normal about 1-2 sizes (typically 12-14 an picked 16) and I recommend this. It did not look too large but gave me some extra fabric for wrapping. So many have concerns about the dress opening up too much in front, but with a size larger I did not find this.

Cute dress
This is a cute dress with a bit of a retro flare. The skirt is very full. I styled it with a moto leather jacket which was great and gave it a bit more of a modern touch. Some have noted that the bust doesn't have as much room, but I disagree - I think it actually was a tad large, and this is an area that typically runs small for me. This looked to be knee length from the model, but on me it was mid shin length for me. Looked great.

Perfect drape, makes me look skinny
I love this shirt. I would consider buying this shirt. It has a nice heavy drape, is a perfect length for me. I got multiple compliments despite it being a plain navy blouse and was complicated on losing weight. I can't tell you anything bad about it. Some have had problems with cleavage. For my long torso and height, it was not a problem, but I did wear a black camisole underneath, which I generally do with V cut blouses.

Nice oversize sweater
This was a solid sweater, but it actually ended up looking more frumpy on me. I think it tends to run a bit large, and that contributed, along with the drop shoulder sleeves. I thought it would have better drape, but it also turned out to be a bit thicker in real life. I wore it with denim with sequins in the rips to make it look a bit younger and hipper. The yellow stripe at the top of the neck really did not suit me and I think added to the entire "picture."

I thought this top was fabulous. Usually I like to tuck flowy tops in, but this was much better as a tunic and left out. The color was fantastic. I wasn't sure about the red lace when I looked at the pictures, but I believe it worked well. It was very comfortable and true to size.

Fun dress, great for work
I rented this for Christmas, but when it arrived a button was missing. However, I still tried it on and despite the missing button, it fit well. I have a full bust and it hugged my curves but wasn't too big or small. The fabric is very flowy. Would have loved to wear but sent it back.

Runs a bit smaller but still a nice blouse
This is a lovely equipment blouse, but unfortunately their sizing is not consistent. I just returned a blouse from them that ran large, only now to find this particular blouse ran small and was bulging a bit at the buttons. It was still wearable for work, but barely so. It looked great with blue or green pants. As it is hard to tell, the background of the blouse is not white, it is a very pale blue.

Okay
I liked these, but didn't love. I liked the modern look, I like the quartz, I liked the light they had. However, they weren't the most comfy earrings. I agree with another reviewer who notes that the posts are thick and pretty short. I felt like I really had to jam the backs on to make sure they were secure. They don't move, so if you are doing anything active you can also feel them.

Sleeves are very long
This is a great top, and I love the pattern and feel of the silk fabric. However, it does run a tad larger than some of the other equipment tops I've gotten. The hips are still generally too narrow for me, but that has been constant as well for all their tops. The sleeves run very long; I have normal arms and at 5'8" they go as far as the tip of my thumb. I ended up folding the entire cuff back and wearing a black jacket over this to keep the cuffs of the sleeves controlled.

Cute shirt and very comfy
I loved the fit of this shirt. It was fantastic to wear during my trip to the Pacific Northwest and I received multiple compliments. It was great tucked it or loose to show it's asymmetrical style. The fabric is very high quality and lightweight. It is a bit large, as I am typically a true XL and this was a bit large on me. However, I love that fit with a shirt like this so I was very happy. This would definitely work for ladies with a larger bust.

Fabulous, so many compliments
I wore this to work and everyone loved it. One of the guys I work with told me it was such a great top he would wear it. The sleeve dangles are very long - I ended up wrapping these around my wrist and tying them with a box knot. This shirt looked great with black pants. I might end up buying it, I really love it. You could dress this up or down. It was not tight in the chest and was very flattering.

Nothing wrong but nothing great
There was nothing great about this dress but really nothing wrong with it. The fit overall is large; I usually wear XL or 14; I wore a L and it was still large on me. On the one hand it was long enough and generally appropriate for work, though a bit low cut. I wore a cami underneath or it would have been to lowcut for work. It might have been better in a smaller size, though I haven't worn a M in my life.

Great skirt, very comfortable
I generally don't wear pencil skirts because they run two tight and feel constricting. I did size up one and was happy about that, though your mile may vary. It worked great with a white pattered cotton blouse and I received dozens of compliments. I will note that the zipper has a dangle on the bottom that will jingle all day when you walk around, so keep that in mind if you prefer to be silent like a ninja.

Great color, multiple compliments
This is a great dress, especially for the summer. I took recommendations to size down twice, and as I usually am wearing a 14 right now got a 10. There was plenty of room; I could have gotten away with going down another size. Because this dress is knit ribbed cotton, it stretches well but also has odd bulges at times in the waist. I'm actually not sure going down further would have helped. I think it is probably best for more athletic builds because my curvy shape ends up causing odd bulges that don't exist in the waist. Despite all this, I received multiple compliments at work and people loved it. I wore it with a long black jacket so it was a bit more conservative that way.

Loved the colors
I received multiple compliments wearing this shirt. It is slightly tight in the bust and fit me closely but was not too tight and was very comfortable to wear. I did not think it was too low for work, and I am generally more conservative. I did receive comments about the colors reminding people of Halloween considering the time of year, but they were not bad. I wore the shirt once similar to the model and once tucked into a black pleated skirt, and both looked great. This orange was very flattering for me, which is rare for orange and my skin tone. I wore this multiple times before sending it back.

Cute Top, loved the shoulders
This is a cute top for work paired with ankle length pants. I will note that it is really small in the chest - there are no darts and it runs really flat. I felt really squished in the entire day, and only wore this once. Not so great for busty gals. It also runs a bit short but if you wear high-waist pants you will be okay. The fabric is a nice breathable cotton, and it didn't really wrinkle much at all while wearing.

Sexy and Sophisticated
This dress was perfect for a fall wedding. My biggest problem is usually zipping up all the way with my large chest, and this fit like a glove from the top down. It is a well constructed dress and perfectly flattering for someone with an hourglass figure. I would have kept it in a heartbeat if the price were lower. It looked great on the dance floor. My husband told me it was the perfect dress for the wedding, where the ceremony was outdoors and the reception inside. I didn't see a need for any shapewear, I thought it was thick enough it hugged me and made my curves look great.
