Unique and special
Though it was long and the top was too long, it was worth figuring out how to tie it up to resolve those issues because it's beautiful. Went to an event and nobody was wearing anything even halfway resembling this gorgeously colorful frock.

Cute but not spectacular
I liked this well enough and it was comfortable. It’s easy for it to go juvenile so you’ve got to fight that with styling and accessories.

Oversized and cute
The perfect oversized blazer look. I paired this with a collared shirt, a partially pleated mini dress, and sheer tights to give elevated school uniform style.

Bought them
I loved these pant so much, I bought them. They aren’t too baggy, they aren’t too tight, they fit just right. The pattern is very unique for denim, so they stand out in the best way.

A little tight
I recommend sizing up because the neck, shoulders, and sleeves can be quite constricting. One I got the bigger size, I was very happy with the fit. The style, of course, gives Wednesday, so expect to hear that a few times.

Frankly, the length was a bit large but I pinned it up, put a sweater over it, and proceeded to have a lovely day full of compliments.

Understated showstopper
The style is so unique and it fit well without being too tight for a long work day. The fabric is soft and has a good weight which gives it a rich feel. The length is modest but the slit gives it a little movement.

Usual Size: 4

Beautiful shape
The cut of this style is flattering, the color is beautiful, the print is timeless and it's comfortable to wear. I would say that it runs just a tiny bit small, is long in the torso for people with short torsos and puckers out a bit between the lower buttons. All those are very minor things; overall the dress is great!

This jacket was amazingly comfortable and effortlessly stylish. I loved that it was reversible. It's fairly heavy and very oversized

This shirt has a simple, yet quirky, style that makes it a great pair to almost any bottom and good for most occasions!

Cute and comfortable
I thought the scratchy metallic inside of the dress would be uncomfortable but I didn't find it to be. I think, since the dress fits so well, there is not much movement against the skin which meant that it didn't scratch me. The style is cute and is a good balance between dressy and casual.
Spade Flower Sweater Dress

Simple, sophisticated style
I loved the print of this dress. It arrived very wrinkled, which led me to believe it would get very wrinkled throughout the day, but it actually held up very well. The fabric is very thin (in a good way) but was not see through on the body, which meant it was light and comfortable!
Aurora Black Dress

Size Worn: S

Beautiful and comfortable
This dress was much more comfortable than I thought it would be. The fabric has a good amount of stretch and is think enough to be completely opaque, which is a big plus. The print was really nice.

Not the worst...
.... but also not the best. I normally wear a 2 or XS but I ordered the S in this dress and it was still pretty tight across my mid-section. Beyond that, the dress wrinkles VERY easily. On a brighter note, the style, pattern and pockets were awesome and it is very light and cool.

This dress was absolutely beautiful. The print is so unique and the fit is flattering despite the dress running a bit small overall. Definitely something I would wear again and again.

beautiful... but not for me
This dress was nice but did not seem to sit right on me. I seemed to be just a little too short for the length to hit quite right. I also didn't like how the sleeves sort of stuck out to the side instead of sitting more flat against my arm. Overall it was not flattering for me.

Interesting pattern
I thought this dress was very cute but I did not realize both sides were just buttoned up and not sewn. I had no "malfunction" but I just thought it was interesting when I thought I felt a hole for a pocket and ended up touching my leg. It was very comfortable and the print was nice.

Weird fit
The print and fabric of this dress were fantastic! Once I put it on though, I realized the fit was going to be a problem; the top, including the neck fit large while the the dress pulled across my hips, then it was loose toward the bottom. Perhaps this was supposed to be a bodycon dress and I should have sized down? In any case, had it fit correctly, it would have been a home run due to the texture of the fabric and the print.

Be ready to respond to a lot of compliments. The dress fits wonderfully and and is nice and light for warmer weather. I thought the sleeves would be more flowing but I still loved it!

Beautiful jacket that runs really large
I ordered the coat because I loved the color, cut and texture of the coat. Unfortunately, the coat was way too big, even in the smallest size. Sometimes you can roll the sleeves or play it off in a different way, but this coat was too large to even do that. All in all, it is a very beautiful and warm coat but runs very large, even for something that is supposed to be oversized.

Deep v-neck
The picture did not accurately represent the very deep V-neck the dress had. I was not able to use the bow to cover the all the exposed skin so it looked a little strange. I am not very large on top so I am sure that was the issue. Otherwise, the dress fit well and was a conservative length.

Unique embellishment!
This dress fit very well. I received many compliments on it due to the unique grommet details. This dress is deceptively heavyweight which was nice for winter.

A very cute dress with a vintage feel
This dress surprised me. The opening at the collar was larger than I expected but the space was easily filled with the ties strategically placed in a bow. Although the fabric is lightweight, it is also soft and warm. I received many compliments on this dress and, more importantly, I was comfortable all day in it.

Very oversized
This coat was just as gorgeous in person as it was in the photo. Unfortunately, even in the smallest size the coat was too big for me. The quality was amazing and the fabric was so soft that it was a total shame that I was not able to wear it.

A true fitted coat
Although the shape of this coat is boxy, it didn't appear oversized because it fit in the shoulder area and the sleeves quite well. The fabric and pattern are unique and I received many compliments. It fit so well that I bought it!

Unique and flattering
This dress fit me very well in the upper body area and had the perfect loose fit on the bottom. The dress was on the short side, but am short as well so the length was perfect for me. The dress was comfortable and not easily wrinkled, which is a big deal when you spend long periods of time in an office chair.

Not a perfect fit
This dress was beautiful and the quality was great. Unfortunately the fit was off for my body type. The shoulder area fit great but it was quite large in the waist. I did not wear the item due to the awkward fit.

Very different... In a good way!
A very unique print and a classic shape make this dress great for any occasion. I would agree that the colors of the dress in person are more subdued than the picture on the site, but it didn't bother me at all. The dress is a tiny bit large but I don't think it is a full size too large and I think it looks great and has a little more movement this way.

An interesting fit
I absolutely loved the style of this dress, but the fit wasn't for me. It was very tight at the waist and loose in the top through the arm holes. It was very noticeable sine the fabric had so much structure to it.

This was a beautiful dress. Alas, I did not wear it, as it really showed a bit more skin on the top than I thought it would. It also ran just a tad bit big on me.

I received great feedback on this dress. The only thing is that it was a bit big overall. I really liked the length, though. It lent itself well to the retro feel of the piece.
