Classic teal dress
Gorgeous dress with an understated pattern. Thick material with a tiny bit of stretch. Fits TTS but the neck opening is quite small and may mess up hair/makeup trying to get it on. Once i got the dress on, it fit like a glove.

Way too big!
I’m between a 26-27 in pants and the size 2 was too big to wear. The pants were high quality but truly way too big to be wearable.

Very meh
Nice pattern, and soft, but cut weird. Very clearly oversized, but too short to tuck in and too long to wear as a crop. Not flattering at all.

The dress is NAVY not black
Seriously - the dress is navy, not black. Thick, stretchy, forgiving fabric. Really well-made. A few inches above the knee but very work-appropriate. Classic and classy. Fits TTS but is stretchy.

favorite jumpsuit
Cannot say enough positive things about this jumpsuit. The pattern is lovely, the material is thin but super comfortable and does not wrinkle! You can control how deep the V is, because there's a small clasp that can be buttoned. I've rented this twice, it's amazing.

dark grey jeans
7/10 on these jeans. pros: fabric (thin but really soft and comfy), stretch (just a little so the pants stay structured), rise (mid-high, hit right below my bellybutton). cons: foot/ankle hole (small but my size 7s fit through fine), size (runs small, size up).

comfortable and classy
This is a really nice, thick/structured dress. I'm 5'5 and it was still a work-appropriate length (not nearly as short as it looks on the model). The material is thick but moves really well. It does get a bit wrinkled, but a steamer worked like a charm.

gorgeous spring color
such a beautiful, well-made dress. the sleeves can be worn full-length or rolled. a little short on the sides, but would be appropriate for work for someone who isn't too tall. got lots of compliments on this one.

free people dress
A typical Free People dress - flowy, lightweight, pretty pattern. The straps are adjustable, and the length just hit the floor for me wearing flats (I'm 5'5). Slits in the front are not really visible when you're wearing it, as the bottom has a lot of material, but give the dress a nice swing/flow. Tough to wear a bra with due to racerback and thin straps, so probably not ideal for those with larger chests. Fits great with pasties, though!

too small
This dress is an interesting print and high-quality bodycon material. I typically wear an XS in bodycon due to the high stretch, but this was WAY too small. Couldn't even put it over my shoulders. Looked like a beautiful dress if it had fit, though!

gorgeous DVF print
Incredibly beautiful skirt - the print, the flow, literally everything is perfect. It also accentuates the lower body nicely with the printed waistband. Keep in mind there isn't really any give or stretch to the waistband. I typically wear a 2 or 4, ordered the 4 and it was way too big in the waist, so unfortunately had to send it back.

bodycon dress
Size up if you have curves. I typically wear an S (sometimes an XS, rarely a M), and the S was way too tight. It rode up within seconds of walking. Really cute dress just standing around, but wasn't very practical for me given the fit. If you have curves and are dead-set on this dress, I would recommend sizing up. Otherwise, definitely better dresses out there.

Free people dress
Pros- beautiful colors, print, material in general. Pockets! Cons- fits a little weird. A little tight in the shoulders and chest. Has a nice cinch in the waist, but if you have a small waist and larger bust this probably won't give the ideal fit. Waist cinch is not ajustable. Overall a nice dress for the right body shape.

beautiful, lightweight sweater
Wore this sweater multiple times, with jeans, leggings, flats, boots... you name it. Super soft, the sleeves are definitely long (as other reviews have mentioned). A high-quality, slouchy / oversized sweater. It's pretty thin, so a good transition item through fall and spring.

pretty bland
Didn't end up wearing this - the fit is boxy and not in a cute, oversized way. It's also not as soft as some other wool-blend sweaters. Definitely better options available.

soft, casual, oversized sweater
Super soft sweater. I usually wear a Small and sized up to a Medium so that it was more oversized - so glad I did. Wore this a couple times with jeans, leggings, boots, sneakers, etc. Really versatile and incredibly comfortable. It probably runs pretty true to size but is cut boxy, so best worn as a bit oversized.

obsessed with this dress
This dress is amazing! Super warm because it's merino wool. Not itchy. Can dress up with heels or down with flats. It's a pretty straight silhouette, so doesn't hug any curves. Only downside is that it came VERY static-y and had a difficult time getting rid of that.

Too long
The sweater hit me mid-shin, when I was hoping it would hit around the knee or a little below, so it wasn't really wearable. Size down or only rent if you are 5'8 or taller!

Just okay
Pros : good material, interesting neckline (boat neck in front, small v-neck in back). Great length - short but not inappropriate. Cons: WAY too tight in the shoulders and chest. I'm an XS/S and the S was way too tight. It was also a bit tight in the hips, which left some weird extra space in the waist. Did not fit like most other sheath dresses. May be best for people with small frames / not a lot of curves.

gorgeous dress for black tie wedding
I wore this dress to a black tie wedding - it was super comfortable, fit like a glove, and received quite a few compliments. It shipped with two missing buttons up top, so I just safety pinned it together. Worked great. The top part is more muted than I expected (a pleasant surprise) - it's more metal/mesh than sequins. I'm a 32D and found this a bit tight in the chest. I wore stickies but no bra, as it wouldn't have fit. The length is great if you like to wear heels. I am 5'5 and wore 3.5" heels. The front of the dress just barely grazed the ground. The back has a small train. Overall, a great dress that I would definitely wear again.

Gorgeous, lightweight dress
The colors are so vibrant on this dress, and the fabric is perfect for summer. Like other reviews said, it does run a little big - I typically wear a 2 or 4 in dresses and sized down to a 0, which fit perfectly. Received tons of compliments on this dress.

Classic & comfortable
These pants are amazing. I would buy 10 pairs if I could. Fabric is heavy enough to feel luxe, but lightweight enough to handle the heat & humidity of Singapore. Length was decent - about an inch too long for flats, but were perfect with some basic wedges.
