Adorable and stylish
Super cute and stylish it has dark brown in the pattern as well as black. It was a tiny bit tight across the shoulders but TTS. Very light fall/spring type of coat, not for cold weather.

Itchy!
This sweater is cute but it is so itchy I could not wear it and I am not generally very sensitive to itchy fabric. Put it on and five minutes later took it off and put it back in the RTR bag.

Little house on the prairie extra
Between the high neckline, dowdy grandma print and puff sleeves I looked like an extra from Little House on the Prairie. Not good went right back in bag to be returned.

Tiny!
Pretty dress but at least 2 sizes too small. I wear a 10 in almost everything and I could not even get this zipped, would probably need a 14 for it to work. Material has no give at all.

Fun and different
Very cute fun and different cotton dress from Derek Lam. Easy to wear and light. I first tied it in back and it was more like a shift dress the second time I wore it my husband told me to tie it around twice and I really like the way it looked that way as well. We consider buying this one. Also I am a 38D and was concerned about buttoning it across my chest it fit just fine no pulling or gaping.

Grandmas curtains
"Are those Grandma's curtains?" That is what my husband said when I pulled out the dress. I persevered and wore it for the afternoon it is strange stiff kind of shiny fabric that reminded me a little bit of a shower curtain. For me it was also a little tight in the bust but loose everywhere else it went back after one wearing, shower curtain and grandma's drapes is not what I was going for--

Chic and comfortable
Love this dress so chic and comfortable even though it is a turtleneck with long sleeves it is a very light knit and not too warm. Very flattering formfitting but not too tight I wore this to church and to work and loved it seriously thinking of buying this one.

Runs small and see through
I love the fabric and colors in this dress and was excited to get it however the dress runs very small. I normally wear a 10 and it was very tight and showed every little thing. My daughter who happened to be visiting she is a size 4 and tried it on and it looked much better on her so I would say if you want to try this dress size up! It was also very thin material and slightly see-through so I would have not felt comfortable wearing it without a slip.

Heavy fabric and ran small
I liked the look and color of these pants but they ran very small and the fabric was heavy , not a summer weight at all. I usually wear a 29 or 30 in jeans I got the 30 and they were way too small in the waist and hips.

Strange zipper
I normally love this designer however I found this skirt very strange. It is a very thin lovely silk fabric however it has this heavy industrial looking zipper up the front that closes the skirt. For me it just didn't work it also has a tie around the middle that I thought made it look bulky a little too much going on for me.

Really loved this Tory Burch dress conservative but stylish I wore to work and to church fits very comfortably and the colors are bright and happy. Be aware though that cream panels are quite sheer I wore a slip underneath other than that a really great dress would love to buy this one.

Way too high of a slit
This dress runs small, especially across the chest but the main reason I was not able to wear it was that it has an opening right in the center of the dress from the hem to the upper thigh. Even with opaque tights I didn't feel I could wear this and not feel like I was flashing everyone. I am really not sure who would wear this dress is very poorly designed with this very long slit.

LOVE!
It took me several months of trying to get this beautiful skirt home but I finally did and I am really enjoying it. Beautiful quality and eye-catching details I think it fits true to size maybe a tiny bit small but it does have some give in it. Heavy knit fabric but not too warm I've worn it both inside and outside with no trouble, really versatile even though it's kind of dramatic it goes with almost any top. I wish I could afford to buy this skirt I would in a second if I could.

Strange fabric and very small fit
I wear a lot of Rag and Bone and almost always fit into a size 8 because these were slim cut I decided to get the 10 they still didn't fit super small particularly in the waist and hips. Also they are made out of a kind of strange slightly shiny cotton blend fabric and so they are very thin and light. When I saw them in the picture and saw they were plaid I assumed they were going to be more of a fall/winter pant like in a wool or something like that very strange fabric and strange fit.

Awful!
Ill fitting it is boxy and loose but very short so it kind of just hangs on you. Material is plaid with specks of gold so it is kind of dressy? Plus it has this strange hood in the back--way too much going on--sent it back without wearing.

Cute daytime sweater
Cute kind of girly day time sweater took me a little bit by surprise because it's pretty lightweight it's a cashmere cotton blend it's nice to wear indoors but nothing that would keep you warm on a cold day. Gray background with playful bright colors makes it a tiny bit girlish in my opinion but a cute sweater and different

like not love
I love the dark green leather of the jacket it's very classy and beautiful however the pink faux fur collar looks super cheap and doesn't really go for me with the look of the jacket. I also think the whole look is probably a little too young for me it would probably be better for someone in their 20s or 30s.

Rock and roll
I liked his jacket and wore it several times it has a bit of a rock 'n' roll feel to it with the writing and embellishment on it but then I love the contrast of the conservative tweed fabric. The jacket is also very light weight which I like and works in Southern California where it never gets very cold but I like to wear something that looks like it's Fall. The jacket definitely has a boxy look to it but it fit me in the shoulders and I turned up the cuffs and liked the way it looked-- casual and slightly funky.

Cute but super heavy
I love animal prints so I was excited to get this turtle neck I never wore it though because it is VERY thick and heavy really only something you could wear in the middle of winter and then I'm not even sure I could wear it comfortably indoors. It's also quite snug all over I got a large which is my normal size and I felt very constricted in it.

Great work dress!
I wore this dress to a trade show and loved it! Very comfortable fit and the fabric holds up and does not wrinkle or look tired at all. Beautiful bright red color that I got many compliments on a little more fitted in the waist but generally a relaxed fit so it looks very professional really love this dress could wear it over and over.

Runs small heavy fabric late Fall/Winter
I got the 10 which is my normal size but this designer run small and I should've gotten the 12 it did not fit at all and I sent it back without wearing which is always aggravating. It was also quite heavy material and really couldn't be worn until late fall or winter.

Beautiful dress but snug
I was very excited to get this dress I loved the way it looked on the site. It did work for me because I am 38D and it would not zip up all the way in the back. I think this works best for someone tall and slim, with no more then a C cup.

Cute but offbeat colors
I liked these pants they fit comfortably and I am a size 10 I got a large they are a nice light weight in a cute crop length my only criticism is that the blue and the pink in the pant are very unusual shades the blue is very pale and the pink is almost a lilac I couldn't find anything that even looked close to the colors to wear with the pants so I just ended up wearing a white T-shirt. For that reason the pants are a bit limiting I think.

Beautiful dress, did not fit me well I don't think it works if you you are long waisted it fit like an empire waist on me and just did not work it was also a tiny bit snug so I would say it runs small.

I really loved this dress if it wasn't so expensive and distinctive I would have bought it. Very flattering fitted on top and then releases gently into a really fun skirt. Beautiful detail in back as well sexy but modest at the same time. Would be appropriate for many many occasions.

Liked didn't love this shirt, ran a little big I am a 38D and the large was loose on me a medium would have worked better I think. For an expensive price point I expected it to be look better, little disappointed in the quality, also came wrinkled and needed ironing.

Different and elegant
I really loved this dress it was quite elegant but the camo print kept it playful and interesting. It was beautifully made my only negative was that I normally am very comfortable in a size 10 and this in size 10 was snug on me to the point that it was a little difficult to wear. Definitely size up in this dress.
