Beautiful but Large
I wish I would have gone down a size more although I might have had a hard time in the shoulder area. This was a fun and very warm coat to wear. It's like a big warm blanket/sleeping bag. I'm 5'5" and it was a tad too long for me but that just kept me even warmer. Not something I would wear everyday because I was swimming in it but served it's purpose for my event. I would be interested in what a size down would look like and if it were any shorter as well.

Oversized Floral Coat
Love, Whit by Whitney Port
Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 14
Height: 5' 5"
Weight: 190lbs
Bust: 36DDD/E
Too small for my bust
The colorway of this I loved but the bust was just too small. I could button it closed but it wasn't very comfortable and the way it tied made it feel/look like the wrong size for me. Didn't end up wearing it.

Overprinted Wrap Dress
Tory Burch
Size Worn: 14R
Usual Size: 14
Height: 5' 5"
Weight: 190lbs
Bust: 36DDD/E
Runs Large
I am a size 12/14 and have wide shoulders. This coat was recommended as a XL for me but based on reviews I went down to a L. I should have sized down even more to a M. The arms were wide and would have still worked since I was swimming in the Large. This is a very oversized coat. The blue side is soft and pretty but the cream/white side seemed like a pattern or plain sleeping bag to me. Not very stylish least in my size.

Oversized Reversible Shearling Coat
Derek Lam 10 Crosby x RTR
Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 14
Height: 5' 5"
Weight: 190lbs
Bust: 36DDD/E
Stylish
I really like this coat, the arms are narrow so you can't wear a sweater under it but something thin works fine. The main wool fabric is hard to tell if it's well worn or just a little like that. I love the cut and the neckline when it's zipped up or unzipped it super cute. It's warm and really cute on. I would consider buying it for sure if the wool was a little smoother or maybe if the price is right.

Cute Fun Dress
This is a cute casual colorful dress. I'll have to iron it and hope that the lining doesn't stick out past the dress like it does at try-on. It's comfortable and cute. I am usually a size 12/14 depending and this was a good fit.

Rosen Dress
Hutch
Size Worn: XL
Usual Size: 14
Height: 5' 5"
Weight: 190lbs
Bust: 36DDD/E
Runs Large
This was a beautiful dress but it ran way too large. I got an XLR based on others reviews but if I put my shoulders down or relaxed them the dress would fall right off. I could have probably went down a size or two since it's cut is pretty billowy. I'm usually a 12/14 and am 5'5". Didn't end up wearing it, just a try-on and return sadly.

Boom Dress
La DoubleJ
Size Worn: XLR
Usual Size: 14

Bust: 36DDD/E
Cute but didn't wear it
This was a really cute dress. It was a little tighter than I was comfortable with but the shoulders were really nice, the color was great and it was cute. The ruching at the belly hid some tummy so that was nice. It had some clumps of missing sequins in areas around the hips and the liner made it not as comfortable. It sort of felt like the dress had stretch but the liner might not have. It's a nice dress but I didn't end up wearing it, was a try on and return.

Gold Sequins Dress

Was a miss for me
I got the XL in this and it was a weird fit, the arms were a bit tight but the bust was a bit baggy and the length was way too short. I'm usually between a size 12 and some things are 14 if I want it a little baggier or depending on the brand. This was so short that you could see the crease of my butt cheek while standing and I'm only 5'5". Overall it felt like an odd sized dress and it was a try on and return only.
