Great staple
Wore this several times, both to work and casual events. Very easy to style and a great twist on a classic black tee.

Great work event dress
Super flattering cut and fit perfectly. The front is a wrap/split hem and it tends to fall open when sitting, so be aware. But, fantastic for a work event.

This 'fit was super cute
I actually rented the top in my last shipment - then bought it. I wanted to try the whole outfit, and it really was super cute. I just don't see wearing it very often all together, so did send the pants back. But it was a hit. And the fit was great - did my booty some favors.

Got compliments - but felt stiff and fussy
I was torn on this one. It was on-trend with the lace, but still felt a little stiff and formal. More like a jacket in construction than a top. It was... fine? It did fit well, however, and the length was perfectly right at the waist without being too short (or long).

This worked - but it's an explosion of color
I wore this to a work event, but felt... loud. I worried that the ruffle would make it unflattering around the hips - but not the case. It actually laid nicely and sort of... scooped around the booty? The fit was lovely. But the pattern/color is a LOT. Definitely not for conservative events.

Did NOT want to send this back!
Gorgeous, flattering, and even with 3/4 sleeves, it was so lightweight that I was comfy in the TX heat. Vibrant blue with multi-colored abstract floral pattern, which was interesting without being garish. It has great pockets that don’t negatively affect the drape (you can’t even tell they are there unless your hands are in them). I’m 5’4” and the length was mid-calf. I would totally buy this.

So. So. Sooo long.
These fit absolutely beautifully - loved the cool double top and the shape from the knees up. But y’all - I’m a fairly average 5’4” and even with FIVE inch platforms on, these puddled on the floor! They looked ridiculous. No way I could wear them, so I was super sad. Arrived new with tags, so some 6’ tall chickie will find joy in these.

Gorgeous - spring flirty
I love Misa - and this did not disappoint! So gorgeous and comfortable. It is on the longer side, but I only needed to wear short heels to keep it off the ground. This would be living in my closet if the price was lower.

SUCH a cool dress - size up if you have a chest.
Loved this! The design is astrological signs and symbols, and the straps are adjustable (a little button at the back for each). I really should have gotten a size 4, but that wasn't available- so thought I'd try the 2, since I can typically make that work if there's a fuller skirt. That part worked, but the chest was SUPER tight on my girls. Wore it anyway and would totally rent (a 4) again!!

Super cute
Wore this to a dance competition (for my daughter) and got all the compliments. Great transitional piece for the spring. Fitted, but not ridiculously tight, and the length was just right if you don't want cropped.

Fun - but long.
Had to wear some serious platforms for these not to drag the ground. Very soft and a tad stretchy- flattering otherwise.

Unique and Great for Transitional Weather
This is a pretty heavy dress, with the cutouts/holes covering the entire exterior layer - there is a lining that goes down to the knees. Received a ton of compliments - though I felt like the weight of the dress made the waist hang out, such that it didn't hug my waist. Some folks might find that a plus, but I would have liked a little more shape through that section. I did wear a white blazer over it because I wore to a work function, and that looked great.

Very conservative - great work dress
It's a muted style and very conservative - perhaps even a little frumpy on the lower half. But it was flattering up top and comfortable. Wore for a very upscale work event and it was very appropriate.

Just a little longer than I'd like
I've rented both the black and burgundy versions of this skirt. They run a little snug in the hips, such that the pockets pooch out a bit if I were to size down to fit my waist (which was a little loose). It's also a bit longer than I like and VERY noisy when walking.

Looks great on the hanger - not as practical when worn
VERY thin silky fabric - which wreaks havoc with static when worn on a DRY winter day. Clings everywhere - particulary if you're pairing with tights. I ended up having to wear a slip (who does that anymore) to keep it from clinging around my booty. It's a cool pattern and I got some compliments... it's just a pain. It also runs narrow in the hips, while fitting everywhere else.

Great color and fit
Great fit - and the wrap goes all the way around so there's no fear of flashing or falling open when sitting. Pairs well with a chunky sweater or sleeker top tucked in. Loved the color for winter.

Wore this to work all day, a client lunch, and a work event later in the evening and it made the transition beautifully. Very comfortable- but definitely warm! Paired with black tights and high black boots - wore the collar open.

Great holiday color
This was a little long - both the torso and the arms, though it was otherwise narrow in both of those areas as well. Maybe better suited on a taller person? Still wore it twice and it was comfortable and holiday-worry. Can be dressed up or down.

Very trendy and flattering
I usually wear a small, but got this is XS and it was the right call. It's boxy, so there's a lot to it, but wearing it back a little behind the shoulder seam brings up the front so it can be French-tucked into your pants (which looks better IMO). The color was great on me (fair, red hair, blue eyes) and I received compliments galore.

Perfectly chic and super flexible
This was a super flattering fit, and stood alone or with a jacket over (for work). I couldn't stop finding excuses to wear it - which I typically did with knee-high black leather boots. Looked very cool and effortless with long earrings. Wanted to buy it (and still may, later).

Super cute
Love this top, which I wore twice for work and weekend. Paired it with some black faux leather pants and - for sure - a black cami underneath, given it's sheer. The sleeves weren't too tight and the neck tie is cute open or tied as a pussy-bow.

Flattering - But Needed Pinning
I enjoyed the dress, but it definitely acted like a wrap dress, with a tendency for the skirt to fall aside when sitting (it's a thin, slippery fabric). I also had to pin the top to avoid gaping and keep it work-appropriate. It otherwise fit well.

It's - OK
The top fits perfectly and is very flattering - but the waist is somewhat short (it wasn't quite empire waisted, but close - and I don't have a long torso). Then the skirt poofs out pretty broadly across the hips because of the pleats and thicker cotton material. Not my fave.

Beautiful - and flexible
This was narrow in the waist, for sure (I've got a small waist so it worked for me - but definitely be aware, as there's no stretch). I wore it all day for work - a client lunch and a networking event - with a navy tank underneath, given the plunging neckline. But, then took the tank off for a more social birthday party at a cool concert venue later the same night, and it was perfect for all. Very flattering, lightweight, cool print, and unusual.

Dressier than it looks online
Fit well - size down if you're between sizes, because the dress is fairly voluminous and has a little room to stretch in the waist and chest. No pockets, unfortunately. It's also quite long, coming down almost to my ankles (and I'm 5'4") so it ultimately reads dressier than an average work dress, which is what I thought I was renting. Instead, I ended up wearing it to a charity luncheon, and it was perfect for that occasion.

Love it!
I wore this twice for work events - had to wear a black cami underneath because the neckline plunges so much. I WISH I'd had an excuse to wear it again somewhere where that wasn't necessary, because it looked amazing without the cami (just wearing Cakes/braless), but no... This was super flattering and I got many compliments. The red edged into the brick-red zone, so it wasn't glaring, and I normally can't wear orange at all, so having the stripe at the bottom (away from my face) gave me a great chance to incorporate the color without clashing with my complexion/red hair. The waist is cinched without being overly tight, and the dress falls away over the hips in a very flattering way. No pockets.

Fit was awesome - but the color, not so much
The 4 was a perfect fit - I’m 5’4” and 128 lbs. however, could not ultimately wear this. Unfortunately, this is advertised as (and even looks on screen like) red, but is actually quite orange - one of the two colors I just cannot pull off. (I’m a pink undertone redhead.) I tried it on and my hubs said I looked like I was in a prison jumpsuit, so… be advised. Also, the buttons are not functional - the closure is a zipper up the left side, so it’s over-the-head only. It could be a tight squeeze for some folks.
