Love the Style, Not the Color
I would love if this came in a camel color instead.

Gorgeous On and the Color Is Everything
Such a cute sweater! I did order up a size because ribbed knits aren't usually flattering on my frame. I'm glad I did go up in size because the acrylic feel of this sweater made it feel staticky and it would begin riding up. Overall, beautiful color and the stripe adds impact.

Outfit Maker
With white jeans and a grey belt, or grey trousers, this sweater is a show stopper. I ordered up in size for a loose, relaxed fit. I think overall it does run a size large, but loved the ease of something not for form-fitting.

I Lived In This Tank!
I ordered the XL and probably should have gotten the L. This tank is gorgeous on its own or layered under the jacket. Th color and fabric weight are beautiful. It's not your usual top!

A Perfect Bag for Fall
I have a leather jacket that matches perfectly and people stopped to compliment the look. This bag is just too cool: the shape, strap, and double compartments are smart! It is high quality yet light weight. I don't want to part with it!

Thank you DVF for making pants for tall women!
I should have gotten a 10 or 12. I was excited that the pants come in long! Yay for tall women.

Another Perfect DVF Wrap
A perfect dress every time from DVF. I'd suggest sizing down. Even at a 34DDD a 10 would have been better for me.

Unflattering on Me
The sleeves are cute, but this shirt did nothing for me. I took it off at work and wore a corporate t-shirt I found in my drawer. That's how unflattering it was. I couldn't wait to take it off.

Get ready to laugh
I went on the RTR app and realized I had worn this skirt backwards! Yup! But I have to say, it was kind of cute that way. The skirt runs large. Size down.

Yes, it's an unlined, unstructured tote but it isn't a black hole! The light grey color made it easy to find things and there are 2 pockets on the interiors sides that fit my phone, keys, and a card holder.

Wish I Could Keep It!
This jacket goes with so much, for work or weekends. I threw it on over jeans and a t-shirt to elevate my everyday look. It's unlined and the fabric has stretch. I may try it again one size down. Gorgeous cut nips in at the waist.

Cute but Way Too Short
I couldn't bring myself to wear these in public. They are very short and flared at the bottom. Also, I wish they were higher raise. If they come in a long option, I may try again.

Nice for Holidays/Winter Formal Events
I didn't wear it. I hadn't read the reviews about it having sparkle to it. It's too early in the fall for such a piece.

Gorgeous and Well-Made
I took this on a trip and also used it work. It was best for me when packed light. Otherwise it became a black hole and I kept digging to find my keys and phone. The zippered side compartment is nice but in a city I don't trust keeping anything there except keys. If this came in another color I'd be tempted to keep it. I'm trying to stop wearing black all the time.

Should have ordered a smaller size
I got in the habit of wearing dresses to work as a one-and-done and thought this was pretty. I should have ordered a size down, though, as it gave me no shape and I am definitely curvy.

Aside from being low cut, the dress runs large and was loose on me giving me no shape.

Plenty of Room but Heavy
I liked the design of this bag but it is so heavy when packed that a traditional suitcase is better. Now I know why a lot of weekenders are canvas or nylon.

Rented the Wrong Size but Wore It Anyway and Felt Dowdy
I really liked the top 1/2 of the dress but the bottom was too full for me. It's very preppy, and I felt to conservative for my taste. It's very cute, though.

Could Work for Someone Who Doesn't Need a Full Coverage Bra, Not Me : )
I didn't wear it because it was too big and despite trying a few bras with it, the top band of the bra kept showing at the back near my sides. It was too hot out to put anything on top, so I opted to wear something else rather than continue to troubleshoot.

Gorgeous and Slimming
This dress was so pretty, and as someone who doesn't wear florals, it was an easy way to try a girlie print. There was one area on the chest that pulled just a bit and I suppose I could have tried a different bra to remedy it, but I let it go. I'm going to rent it again.

Felt 60s Mod and Loved It
I should not have sized up. I think a 12 or even 10 would have worked fine. At 5'10" the length was just right. My only complaint is I wish the pattern didn't have such a huge expanse of white on one side of the chest. Other than that, the geometric pattern and quality of the knit are gorgeous. I wore it with navy satin, ruffled mules.

Didn't Wear It, Too Heavy for Spring
I got this as an option for my graduation party, but it was too hot out and I couldn't bear to try it on. I think it'd be great for a fall or winter event, though.

Not Quite a Win but Close
The pattern caught my eye. It is a conservative length, almost dowdy, and the bustline is way too small. I added 2 safety pins to keep it closed because I am not a fan of the cami look under wrap dresses. The pins worked. I think if I had gone up a size it wouldn't have looked right elsewhere.

Gorgeous Dress for Class Photos
I wore this on my last day of classes and loved it. One safety pin at the neckline and I didn't have to worry about it all day/evening. The dress flatters the narrowest part of the waist while having enough room for my DDDs. I wore it with navy satin sandals, and later my cap and gown.

Wore it for my graduation
To my surprise this dress is definitely yellow. The bust and rib cage were narrow, and I had to pin the neckline. It wasn't flattering on me. I wish I had chosen something else. I was self-conscious. I kept my graduation gown on and opened in front and I looked like a giant sad sack.

This is the perfect size for every day, and I welcome change from crossbody bags and backpacks. The color is gorgeous. I get lots of compliments on this bag. I was looking online to purchase it as the bag is on sale, but the green is nowhere to be found. How will I ever say goodbye to it?!
