Way too tight and I sized up
I ordered the 6 (my usual size) and it didn’t fit so I sized up ordering an 8 with my next shipment and it also didn’t fit and seemed to have the same exact fit as the 6. It is way too tight in the chest. I have a broad chest so I was expecting some tightness in the chest, but I wasn’t able to even zip the dress up. It’s a shame because it’s a beautiful dress otherwise.

Versatile coat great for changing seasons
It was a little worn when I got it, but I loved this coat and kept it for a couple months. It was perfect for my early November trip to London too. The fit was perfect and I regularly wore thick sweaters underneath it.

Cute and comfy
I was kind of iffy about renting this but I went for it and was pleasantly surprised! It's warm, comfortable, and sticks out a little bit from the crowd.

Perfect for the Giraffe Manor
This dress was perfect for my trip to the Giraffe Manor in Nairobi, Kenya. It fit well and was very comfortable. Also, it had pockets which were perfect for filling up with treats for the giraffes! I received tons of compliments from the other visitors on how perfect the dress was. The only weird thing is that there's a gap/hole right above the side zipper. I'm not sure why it's there - maybe the silk was too delicate to create a hem there? I don't know, but it's not very noticeable.

Great for cold-weather travel and lounging around
This sweater is THICK, very warm, and, as said in other reviews, feels like you're wearing a blanket. I rented it to bring with me on a week long trip to Montreal in January. It was perfect for wearing through the airport and on the plane because my passport and phone fit conveniently in the front pockets, and it's very comfortable and cozy. Aside from wearing it in the airport, I wore it mostly while lounging around or working at my airbnb (I work 100% remotely). I even used it as a robe after getting out of the shower a couple times. I didn't wear it out otherwise because it was hard to find a coat to go over it that didn't look silly. Plus, the material is super thick so not a lot of coats fit comfortably over it. The verdict: Perfect for traveling or lounging around at home, in a hotel, or cabin/lodge. Kind of awkward to wear out. Also, the pockets are super thick so bulge slightly.

The sleeves are unlined... why?
I was looking forward to this because I thought it would be super warm and comfy with the lining, but it was a huge disappointment. While the torso has nice cozy lining, the sleeves only have a thin satin black lining. It looks okay on, but my torso will be nice and toasty while my arms freeze off. Why did they design it this way? I'm returning it immediately.

Great bag!
I kept this bag for a couple months, and received a lot of compliments. It's not huge, which I like. I brought it with me to Curacao and it fit everything I needed: passport, sunglasses, credit cards, keys, etc...

The back looks like maternity wear
The back was way too billowy with too much fabric. The pleating shows on your sides when you're standing and makes you look wide. The model's arms are in the way in the picture so you can't quite see it, but you would see all white fabric if her arms weren't in the way. If I had worn it backwards, it definitely could pass for maternity wear. I didn't wear it.

Very comfortable but kind of weird fit
These were very comfortable for lounging around, but I wish they were either just a little bit shorter making them capris or a little bit longer to be true full length pants. I'm nearly 5'7" and they hit just above the ankle for me, which looked awkward.

Perfect for the summer
I love this bag and am hoarding it for the summer. It's the perfect pop of character for an outfit and the coloring and styling works well with what I typically wear.

Cute but loose top
I wish I could give this a 3.5 because a 4 is a little too high, but a 3 doesn't quite do it justice. I liked this jumpsuit and wore it one day on my Vietnam vacation, but the top was too loose so it was annoying. The waist was just a little on the tight side, too. I felt that I was constantly trying to pull it up to cover my chest more and the straps were too loose. It maybe needs some way of tightening the straps. TL;DR Too tight in waist, too large in top.

Nice easy dress.
Brought this on vacation to Vietnam and Thailand. It was a comfy, easy dress that worked well for vacation and didn't take up a lot of room in my luggage. It wasn't an amazing dress, but I liked it. The fit is true to size.

Perfect for vacation.
I rented this for a vacation to Vietnam and Thailand and am so glad that I did! I had originally rented a different backpack that had more closure at the top, but it ended up not being available so I chose this instead. It worked out perfectly. I easily fit my passport, a book, my phone, light sweater, and other odds and ends. It's not too big and not too small. It's so convenient having a backpack for a trip where you're doing a lot of walking or zooming around on a motorbike through Asia.

Super small in the chest.
I had rented this once in a size 6 and it was crazy small in the chest area. I got away with wearing it with a sweater but it was uncomfortable. I was constantly trying to pull it up but then it would give me a wedgie. I decided to rent it again in a size 8 hoping it would fit better in the top, but it fit almost exactly like the 6 did. The sizing in the top is just not right. Disappointing because this would be perfect if it just fit right.

Eh.
This dress was just eh. I think I could have taken a small, but I had sized up based on a previous review that suggested a medium for a more athletic build. However, even with a small I don't think this would've been anything special. I ended up sending this back without wearing it.
