Nice cropped sweater
Pretty sweater, nice fit, I enjoyed wearing it. It's cropped but that is what I wanted!

Nice jeans, great wash.
I am a die hard Madewell fan and have trouble venturing away from that brand when it comes to jeans. I wanted to try a different brand so went with those. They are nice, but nice they're cropped, I didn't love the length on my 5'9" legs. I wish they were 2 inches longer. Also, they are very stiff (even though they have stretch--not like traditional non-stretchy jeans, a different kind of stiff), and then they soften up and get very comfy but unfortunately, then they start falling off of you. I wear 28 jeans usually and 27 in Madewell. Got 28 in these--maybe I should have tried 27 since they stretch out. Overall they're really good jeans, I just have similar ones that I like better at once so didn't wear them (they also arrived wet from tornadoes/storms in my area, which may not have helped).

Super pretty but short
I loved this dress, I wish I had a picture without the jacket, it was very flattering but very short. I had seen the reviews but since I have a short torso despite being tall, I thought I'd be ok but I definitely had to wear tights to make this more decent!

Super fun and festive
I saw this coat on a guest at a recent wedding (she's actually the last review before mine I believe), and thought it was so cute so I rented it next. I would have never thought of renting it but after seeing it on someone else, I'm glad I did! It was a really fun rental for the holidays.

So many compliments!
I loved this jumpsuit! I might wear it one more time before I return it. It was really trendy and I got tons of compliments by strangers at my husband's work holiday party!

Nice pants!
I own these Madewell pants in a few other colors and prints so I knew they'd be great. They run a little big, I'm usually 27 in Madewell but the 26 fit.

Great print, nice dress, gapes a little
Overall this was a fun dress. I wore it for a birthday dinner and night out. Nice fall colors and pretty print. It's flattering but not incredible. As some other reviewers mentioned it does open a little too much and can show your bra.

Incredible dress!
This dress was absolutely beautiful. I’m glad the 4R fit, because even at 5’9” the 6L was way too long even with high heels. The fabric doesn’t let you raise your arms really high but the overall look makes up for it. I can’t even count how many compliments I received from total strangers throughout the night.

Beautiful and timeless!
The dress was beautifully made and I did not have issues with the lace being worn-in. I ordered a 4 and a 6 and wore the 6, which didn't surprise me since I own 2 Milly dresses in size 6. The dress was a little loose around the waist, but the 4 was a little tight in the shoulder/arms. I opted for comfort and quite frankly the looser waist didn't bother me. I had a lot of compliments the night of and on Facebook afterwards. I opted for a classical look with big double-pearl earrings and red lipstick. It was perfect for fall and since my husband was a groomsman and had to wear a tux, it was a perfect match!

Stays on, but...
This really worked out well for me, meaning that it stayed up and had a nice "shape". The only problen is that the adhesive damaged my skin and at the end of the night, after a lot of dancing, when I removed it some of my skin came off, like it had blistered or something. It didn't hurt me during the night thought and it was a tiny little spot. I will probably reuse it for another night anyways. :)
Stunning dress, a little short!
This dress looks amazing. I'm usually a 6 and the size 6 fit me better, however it was too short, at 5'9'', even with 2 inch heels. I went for the 8, which was on the shorter side too, but slightly longer. I also noticed the fabric was stretchier on the 8 than on the 6. It seems like the 6 is a newer version of the same dress, hence the shorter length and different fabric (not stretchy at all, had a zipper whilst the 8 didn't need one). It's too bad because it makes it hard to raise your arms because of the cap sleeves in the non-stretchy one. Overall though, it is beautiful, eye-catching and really gives you that old hollywood style. I had compliments all night. The back is beautiful too, but you have to wear a stick-on bra or no bra since it is plunging.

Pro seems to be the way to go for wedding season!

Beautiful gown for an outdoor black tie wedding
I had ordered a size 6R and 8R as a back up. Should have done 4 and 6 instead, the 6 was a bit big on me. The only reason it did not fall down was because the bodice is quite rigid so it stayed up on my waist. The bust was a bit loose so I had to be careful with nip-slips on the dance floor. The length was ok at 5'9'' with flats touched the floor). I could not wear heels, even low ones, though. ... I rented the regular because I was afraid the long would force me to wear 4 inch heels which I'm not very comfortable wearing :) especially in the grass!
