Upscale comfort
T-shirt material with great draping. Ruching at waist is flattering.

Cute, not cutesy
Could size down but I liked the fit with some breathing room. Super easy to wear with great drape. No fuss.

Staple blouse with flare
I really like this blouse - the color and pattern, the elastic at the waist and sleeves, and the neckline. I don't like tucking in shirts yet I hate the unfinished look and undefined waist of untucked shirts - this solves all those issues!

Fun yet professional! Flattering
I rented this for something playful that I could wear on weekends but I also wore it to work. I wore it with both dark green blouses and black sweaters and suit jackets. I received many compliments. It does not have the sheen that comes out in the photos and doesn't flare out as much as it does on the model.

Super capelet
I love the buffalo plaid. This worked well as an outer layer as the fall temps fell. I wish the arm holes were up a bit higher. I don't have very prominent shoulders and the cape made them look more sloping. There are belt loops if you wish to create a more structured look.

Black Buffalo Check Cape
Draper James X ELOQUII
Size Worn: 14-16
Usual Size: 14
Height: 5' 2"
Weight: 150lbs
Bust: 36DDD/E
Cute, modest and professional
I rented a size larger than I normally do because I was afraid it wouldn't have enough stretch in the chest. But, there was plenty of room and since it was a size too large, it had a boxy look. If/when I rent it again, I would rent a 14. It was the perfect warmth for the beginning of winter. I wore with a long sleeve blouse underneath and/or a cardigan sweater - you can really pick out any of the gray, blues, red, or white to create different looks.

Fun Basic
I wore this blouse for work and weekends. It looked great with jeans as well as a navy suit. The pattern provides interests but isn't overwhelming or obnoxious.

Upscaling the everyday casual
I really enjoy this jacket. It feels like you're wearing a blanket - the fabric stretches as you move yet is heavy enough to not stick your your curves.

Cute and fun
The flare and shorter length gives a 1960's vibe. The dress fit fine but I ultimately didn't wear it because I could not keep the neck closure in the back closed.

Flattering and comfortable
The material and draping look very flattering without showing every bump or roll. The lining is soft against the skin.

Neckline too much
The dress is beautiful but didn't work for me. I could not pin or manipulate the front to fit my chest and a camisole underneath wasn't feasible. Would have worn a 16 but it wasn't available.
