My new favorite pair of jeans!
When I initially put these on I was not a fan. They seemed quite snug and I had every intention of sending them back. I am SOOOO glad I gave these jeans a second chance. I decided to wear them out and much to my surprise, they are absolutely perfect. I don't generally care for jeans that have no stretch and assumed that due to the heavy material, these wouldn't budge but they stretched just enough. This pair of jeans is exceptionally well made, heavy but comfy material. Definitely a keeper.

Only a small snap to keep it closed!
I had to wear a cami underneath this top due to the flimsy worn snap that is supposed to hold the wrapped area together. I did end up with a size larger that I'd usually wear but aside from the snap, the shirt was just ok.

Not my favorite RL dress
This dress is just blah. Nothing special all though the fabric is heavy, so certainly a good winter dress. I found the middle section to be a bit weird and sits weird at the back as well. Sent back without wearing.

Unflattering Optical Illusion
This dress seemed really cute but not nearly as flattering as one might expect. The tummy area is exceptionally busy and draws the eye direct to that spot. Maybe my torso is just too long or short but the way this dress sits at the middle was horrible (for me). Runching generally works well to disguise any sort of tummy but the combination of pattern, runching, buttons made the center appear to be horizontally striped. It turned this dress from a cute 50's style into a disaster since the last place I want to draw attention is my stomach.

So many compliments!
Loved this dress so much, I bought it! At first I was afraid it would be too form fitting in the tummy but it turned out to be very flattering (tummy and booty). I paired this with a dark blue jean jacket since it was a little out of my comfort zone for the office. I'm not exceptionally full up top so I wasn't falling out but for someone who has more than a C cup you may find the breast area of the dress a little too revealing. The length is perfect and the flair at the bottom gave just enough flounce, not overwhelming at all. The material is thin but not cheap. I received a lot of compliments, which further supported my decision to purchase.

Oddly massive arm holes!
This dress is beautiful on the model but in person, the fabric is heavy and textured. I had to size up based on reviews. I had just come to accept the fabric part and the fit was good, (glad I took the advice of the reviews) however, the arm holes are MASSIVE. As a lady with rather large arms, this was way off in comparison to the size of the dress. There was also this weird cap shaped shoulder. Took it off immediately and put it back in the bag. Definitely not for me.

A little too tight around the tummy - very heavy material
This dress was very cute but it was rather fitted in the tummy area (not a total deal breaker but not my preferred look). The material however is really heavy, jean like. 95+ degree days and heavy material are not a good combo. The color is a little more cream like, not nearly as white as the picture appears. Sent it back without wearing.

Looked 9 months pregnant!
I am addicted to nearly all Ralph Lauren styles that have a tummy runching since they are so incredibly flattering however, this one was a total fail! One look at the tummy and I felt like I should be on the way to the hospital to give birth. The stomach area is super baggy and really gives the illusion that you are pregnant. Never left the house, put it right back in the bag and shipped it back!

Flattering pattern but hold onto the skirt ladies!
Initially, I thought this would be a good dress for casual day at work but its a little too low cut. I ended up having to tug a bit to keep the girls from escaping. I decided to pin the top and wore a jean jacket to ensure no HR agreements were violated. Careful with the wrap part! It was slightly windy when I wore the dress and I nearly gave the entire office a peep show. Considering the peep show and potential HR violation, I rated 4 stars but I'm totally keeping this dress! It was super comfortable with breathable material, very flattering and would be an excellent style for a casual dinner the beach.

5 min in the office and TONS of compliments!
WOW! I can't begin to describe my love for this dress. The fit, the length - overall nearly every thing about it is perfect! The wrap is a little strange, so lost a star for that but once you play around with it, it lays rather nicely. I found the 16 to be a good fit for me but I could have downsized to a 14 had I been going on a date and not to work. The material is very forgiving. This one came new with tags. Very flattering if you have any tummy. The front split worried me a bit but it wasn't as problematic as I thought it might be. In fact, it was just the right amount of modest for work and just enough sexy for a dinner out. Love it so much, its a KEEPER!

Runs big, especially under the arms
This is a beautiful dress with hints of yellow and an interesting pleat at the front which I really liked. Sadly, the sizing can be tricky. I opted for a larger size since other dresses from this maker tend to be a tight fit. I was very surprised that the chest and underarm area was excessively large. Returned without wearing. I will reorder and size down for the next one.

Very fitted, even after sizing up!
This dress arrived new with tags and was stunning! Showed a little more up top than I would say is appropriate for work but still gorgeous. The material is thick and seems very well made. The length hits around mid calf. Sadly, it's exceptionally fitted...around the tummy. Even after sizing up to be on the safe side (I'm generally a 14/16,XL) no such luck. Didn't even wear it. If you have a tummy and over a size 12, don't bother.

Sized small
Too tight. Got it on but certainly couldn't zip it. The material is really thick, print is cute but sized small in my opinion.

1x in Children's?
I can't believe this dress was marketed as a 1X?! I couldn't even get the ties closed to wrap the dress around me. Talk about feeling like a whale! I'm not huge and certainly when the 1X was recommended I rolled my eyes but took the suggestion anyway. I would need a 3x to even remotely feel comfortable. I wear a 14-16 easily with no problems. Even with a 1X, the top was exceptionally low cut. I will be sure to mental note this brand as off limits.

Lots of compliments!
I rented this dress for work and the length was well appropriate. I'm 5'4 and the dress fell just below my knee. The material is what I would call "scuba" like. It feels thick but wasn't too hot or clingy. I opted for a 16W but could have gotten away with a 16 had I worn spanx underneath. The material is rather forgiving which helped to conceal my tummy. The neckline felt a little big so I gave 4 stars, otherwise I loved the dress. I'm not big on flower prints and I didn't pay so much attention when I initially selected it but I have to say, it wasn't that bad! I received a lot of compliments so I'll be renting this one again!

Short but still really cute!
The silky material was enough to make me fall in love. The print is bold and colors are bright making it even more of a statement piece. I preferred wearing a cami underneath since it is low cut but to each their own! The sleeves were a bit tight and poofy around the shoulder area but nothing too extreme. The length of the top is short, so for the longer torso ladies it might not be ideal. At 5'4 it fell just at the top of my mid-rise pants.

Didn't run as small as I expected
The color and style of this dress is perfect. The fabric was much heavier than I anticipated but still very cute. Sadly, it was crazy tight around my hips and tummy, despite ordering my normal size. Sending back....sigh!

Not as flattering as it might appear
I really wanted to like this dress but the material was heavy and it simply wasn't as flattering as it appeared. From a front view all is well but side view...pffff! My tummy isn't excessively large but from a side view the dress made it look huge...it was a big disappointment.

Bright but so cute!
This top is so cute! Very very bright yellow but great for spring/summer. I'm normally a 16 but glad I checked the reviews and sized down. The top fits perfectly and flattering in all the right spots. It is slightly low cut and the band under the breasts is very fitted but still very comfy. Material is nice and thin but not see through, just comfy cool. You can tell it's been worn (a lot) so not worth the cost to buy but certainly one I will rent again.

I'm bat woman
I knew the sleeves were of a certain style, so I expected the wing type but apparently the batgirl look only works for some people. Definitely not a good look for me. Aside from the sleeves, the top itself was cute but it was clearly worn in spots and whoever packed it was in a BIG hurry. It was put on a slacks hanger attached by the shoulders (now has marks) and covered in hair! I will be sending this back ASAP.

Flattering fit
I didn't think I'd care much for these pants at first glance. I was pleasantly surprised at how flattering they were. The length is right at the ankle. I am a true 16, these are a snug fit but in all the right places. There is a strange line detail which runs down the butt and back of the leg. I didn't like it at first but got used to it through the day. I would consider purchasing these for a work staple as they were very comfortable yet professional.

This is my go to sweatshirt!
I can't say enough good things about this shirt so...I bought it! It fits great, maybe just a slight bit under a normal XL but still so comfy. My daughter has already asked that I rent one for her as well. Got lots of "love that shirt" comments so it was a keeper.

Cute but tight!
Love the style of this top but had to squirm to get it over my bust (38D). Once it was on, it falls just above the hip in length. The top is fitted so I found myself feeling like I needed to suck in my tummy simply because it felt tight. I must say, the top is very flattering despite feeling tight. The peplum look is a nice disguise to any unsightly bulge. I will opt for a larger size next time for my own comfort but my hubby loved it!

Runs large - nothing special
I selected this top for work however once I tried it on, its pretty large. I usually wear an XL but could have worn a large with room to spare. The top wasn't anything special, just a simple black top with a sash. It was ok but not something I'd even exchange. Sent it back before wearing.
