I hope you weren’t planning on eating
I ordered these pants with the matching blazer and had such high expectations, but boy what a let down. If you have a larger butt and hips, these pants like most high waisted, pleated trousers made today, are not for you. They will bulge as your body naturally pulls them outward, creating more girth at the midline. Remember it’s not you, it’s the garment! The color is also a mix between light tan/beige and yellow, almost like a sallow. Last I checked looking sallow wasn’t a compliment.

Do you want button nipples?
The top set of buttons on this jacket are decorative and they fall right under your breasts, which made me look like I had a saggy nipple button. The shoulders are heavily padded, but the arm is small, so it puffs up the shoulder even more, especially while you’re moving throughout the day. This is a high quality item from a sewing perspective, with nice satin lining, but the pattern cut doesn’t work well on an actual women’s body that isn’t stick straight. If you have large breasts forget buttoning this and having the piece lay flat to accomplish a boxy menswear look. Also the color is more yellow than tan, and not in a good way. Avoid if you have any yellow undertones in your skin.

My boobs spillith out
I love the pattern and colors on this dress and I got a lot of compliments since it’s perfect for fall, but why is the split neck so damn low. I had to wear a modesty camisole underneath in order for it to be work appropriate. The inside liner could be tight if you are bottom heavy.

Bottom=chefs kiss, Top=thumbs down
If you could cut the entire top off this dress it would be gorgeous. You can’t pair a stretch fabric with a corset cup bust, it just doesn’t stay in place. The underwired cup placement seemed very small and short compared to the waist placement. You would need to have a very short torso and small bust for this to possibly work but I don’t think it will stay in place without massive amounts of fashion tape.

Flowers are not white!
I liked the bomber style fit of this jacket and its funky and fun, but I was disappointed that the flowers weren’t white or cream, they were more of a dingy blue/white. Looks better from further away.

Super small arms
I wanted to love this! The color is beautiful and it’s a nice velvet fabric, but the arms button and are comically small. The top was comically large. If you have a very straight body type with big boobs and wide shoulders this will work for you.

Weird arms and very sheer
The arms are just plain weird on this shirt. The shoulder seam is very puffy and the sleeve length is right around mid forearm and unless your limbs are extremely lanky, the sleeve band feels very tight especially when trying to raise your arms. Also, this shirt is very sheer and I had to add a cami underneath. The proportions just seem off!

Gorgeous color but has fit issues
I loved this warm berry color, and the dress’ fabric has a nice feel, but the collar is very high. I felt like I was choking all day, especially when the dress pulls as you sit down.

Frumpy but cute pattern
I really wanted to like these pants. The pattern is really cute and perfect for spring and the fabric is thick which means you don’t need an under layer which is always a problem with white pants, but these are so so so high on the waist and the pleating and heavy belt made my middle area like 2 sizes larger than I am. I have a pear shape, and these did absolutely nothing for my figure.

If you have a butt, say No!
This dress is cut really weird. I wear a 10 in dresses and went to a 12, which was too big in my chest but too tight on my butt. I’m pear shaped, and the dress has a band of decorative fabric that has zero give right across the apex of your hips/butt, making the upper belly part of the dress bulge. Skip if you’re a pear!

Super soft and cozy
Fit: This is a cropped sweater, so if you have a longer torso and do not like that look this might not be the sweater for you. Color: This sweater looks more cream in the pictures with the model, but it’s more of a snowy white with grey undertones. I am better in warm shades of white, since I’m more yellow in my undertones, so the color on this washed me out a bit. Quality: It’s LK Bennett so of course it’s high quality. The fabric is extremely soft and comfortable, and it has gorgeous detailing such as the scallop-edged collar.

Perfect for pear shaped girls
Fit: The dress is very flattering, if like me, you have a pear-shaped body with a small bust. The diagonal ruffle and puffed shoulder detail added balance to my wider bottom half and cinched in my waist, giving me more of the desired hourglass shape. If you are busty, this dress might be hard to wear, since it’s not very roomy in that area. Also, the bottom slit is very high, I had to pin it closed so you couldn’t see my biker shorts underneath. Color: The dress is very warm toned with a of burgundy and forest green, but you get a bright pop of raspberry throughout the pattern. Beautiful vibrant palette for winter or fall. Quality: The dress is extremely comfortable to wear due to the quality of the fabric, but I think for a $700 dress the pattern at the darts on the bottom should match up. You can see in the close up, the pattern doesn’t continue through the seams, which is a quality that you would expect in a more expensive item.

Only if you’re tall and thin!
Fit: The front pleats/darts on these pants make them hard to wear if you have any hips/butt. You end up with the extra dart fabric sticking out like a winged pooch, which adds so much extra bulk to a part of the body most of us do not want to draw attention to. Color: The color is quite different than the pictures, which mainly look burgundy/cream. There is a heavy amount of aqua in the check pattern, as you can see from the close up picture I took. Quality: The pants are of a of a decent quality. It’s not a high-end brand, so I don’t expect that high level of craftsmanship. They are a polyester/wool blend with 2% elastane, and they certainly feel more synthetic fiber than wool. They are very thin and you can see your pantie line if the pants are tight in the butt like they were on me. Overall it’s a no for me! Too much camouflaging of the pants problems to make it worth while!

Itchy pop of color
Great woven color but the color is very high and the knit is a bit itchy. I wore a high necked tank underneath which really helped. Also, the arms on this are short, which I like in sweaters but I know that annoys a lot of people.

Soft fabric but odd fit
I wanted to love this jumpsuit because it was comfortable but it was just off. I think the crotch-line is off which then throws off the proportions. I wore a shirt underneath to help with the straps falling down. Just okay!

Gorgeous pattern
I sized up and wore an XL. If you are tucking a sweater or chunky shirt size up. The band is elastic but the skirt is made small. The material’s pattern is vibrant and the fabric is very light and has a stain-like feel and movement. I got a ton of compliments and paired with a white tank and jean jacket.

Bold color and fun cut
Love the blue and wider bell sleeve, but this one was not for me. I wear a M/Lg in tops, and was suggested an XL, but it was too bulky. If you have bigger arms I’d suggest a larger size since there is a seam about halfway down the bicep which isn’t flexible

Weighs a ton
This coat is like carrying around another person! It must weigh 8lbs. The coloring on it is more cream than winter white, so to me it can look a bit dingy. Very soft and warm

Did I just wear a robe to the grocery store?
I like this sweater, especially the black piping detail and softness, but it does look robesque. My husband actually did a double take when I walked out to go to the grocery store, and asked if I was going to go in my pajamas.

Super soft!!
I love the feeling of this sweater, it is super soft and cozy. My only complaint is the length. I'm average height with an average torso and the sweater hit just at my belt-line. If this sweater was 2-4" longer, it would be perfect. Really cute pattern!

Not loving the fabric of this top, it is clingy and crunchy against my skin. The buttons and scalloping on the hem details are cute, but I couldn't get past the fabrics feeling. Didn't wear

Like don't love
This is very chic and would go from like to love if it was a bit longer. The peplum on this is a bit high for my taste and the fabric is a stretch knit, so it's a bit clingy.

Totally in love with this one. This sweater has a great pattern and is a great chunky sweater. Looks nice with a pair of skinny jeans and boots. Might be keeping this one for a bit.

Great pattern, terrible fit
I really wanted to like this! I love a duster and the pattern on this was beautiful, but this has a really awkward fit in the shoulders. I kept having to pull it up to fit the shoulder seam, and then it just looked bunchy at the neck. Bummer!

Beautiful green color!
This was a bit big in the arms and chest area but I loved the length on the XLg. Would say large would be perfect for me if the length continued to be just under the butt. This is super comfortable and I wore it with a cream lace cami and black leggings.
