Cute but impractical
Doesn't fit a lot and isn't secure, hard to hold too. But cute! Lots of compliments

Funky art gal vibes
LOVED this dress, but it's very editorial and not for everyone. The silhouette and buttons are really what make it. I wore this to a baby shower and I got a zillion compliments. If you want to live your art betch dreams and rock something funky that will make everyone think you are super cool, this is the dress for you.

Very cute - size down
These jeans are so cute and the print is really fun and unique. Definitely size down at least one size!! These run large! I'm a true 27 in jeans, and I ordered a 26 based on the reviews. The 26es fit perfectly. A bit inconvenient but if you can get the size right these are a super fun pair of jeans.

Not the most flattering, but super fun and comfy
This dress isn't going to show off your body or make you look sexy in the body-baring sense, but it's a wild statement dress and great for days where you just want to wear a tent. The fabric is divine, both the textile and print. It's silk, the color palette is lush and beautiful, and the print super unique. I wore it to a friend date at the SF MOMA, and it is absolutely the perfect dress for such an occasion. I got stopped by several people who complimented it. Overall, it's not the most flattering, but it's fun and comfortable enough to pull off anyways, if you're into it.

Comfy and Attention-Getting
"Rowr!" My co-worker said upon seeing me in this dress. It's a GREAT dress for immediate impact and it's super comfortable. It has buttons down the front back and sides which can be a little annoying. I was very confused when I first tried the dress on. But it's fun and flowy and loose. Very lightweight, so beware in chillier weather.

Shockingly Cute
Wow! I was not expecting this to be as cute as it was but I loved how this skirt looked on especially with some taller boots. I am a 27 in jeans and the S was perfect. I am 5'0" and the length was great on me. I also let my friend who is 5'7" borrow it - she definitely felt like it was short, but said she felt fine because she doesn't have a big butt. So, if you're tall and have a big booty, this skirt may feel too short on you.

Tough to Wear
This is a cute-on-paper skirt. It's just not practical for anything but standing still for a short period of time and not sitting, walking, or generally existing. It's also way too small. I'm usually a 2/4 and a 6 was pushing it; I could barely breathe. It was immediately not cute the minute I sat down. Super wrinkly and the fabric is stiff. And white is a risk, but you probably already know that.

Borderline Costume-y
This dress looks almost like a costume - which isn't necessarily a bad thing; I love playing a character with my clothes. But it is skirting the line of being a little ridiculous. You could put a bonnet on and literally look like an extra in a Western film. I wore it in a photo shoot in West Texas and it was pretty appropriate and looked v v epic. However I would never wear this in the real world. LOL. But it was fun for dress up. Also, if you do plan on wearing this IRL - which, more power to you if you are - the shoulders and sleeves are a bit tight. I could not lift my arms very high, or easily reach my arms out for anything. Also it was a pain to zip and unzip. More of a two-person job if I'm being honest. Really beautifully well-made garment, though. Very flattering and impeccably made. It will make you feel like a sexy, upscale understudy for Ma Ingalls.

Flashier than I anticipated
I knew this would be a busy knit sweater with lots of prints, but what I wasn't expecting is that the pattern detail would be glittery. I like the sort of menswear/tie pattern vibe the prints in this sweater are giving off, but the glittery-ness of it, I think, cheapens it a bit. It may be to someone else's taste to have it like that though, but it was too much for me between the print and the glitter. In addition the cut of the sweater is such that if your stomach isn't totally flat, the band of the sweater will sort of ride up and hang under your pooch and emphasize it. It doesn't help that the bottom band is this eye-searing glittery baby blue and red so it really draws your eye to that area. I wore it once and am promptly sending it back.

For those of you that may care, this dress is toootally navy and not black. I didn't care and I LOVED this dress so much I considered buying it. It's a unique texture, comfy, and incredibly flattering. Would DEF rent again.

Wrinkly AF
Cute top/dress, but nothing mind blowing. I liked that the back was longer than the front for better booty coverage. Despite being loose everywhere else the XS had no give over my hips (37") and it was wrinkly within minutes of wearing it.

Striking but tricky
Loved this dress. The color palette is unusual and striking and you can dress it more up or down for the occasion. There were a few things that keep me from giving it five stars. The fabric is thin and the dress itself has seen better days - especially in the zipper area where the zipper was worn and fraying. I was worried it wouldn't fit as I am a DD and it's recommended for A or smaller, but I was fine, I think because I'm petite. If you're not petite and have a large chest I wouldn't recommend this dress. It's not THE most flattering cut for an hourglass figure either; the waist sits high. Probably best for more boyish or pear shaped figures.

Just okay
A sharp colorblock deserves a sharp cut and this ain't it. It's not terrible but it's a blocky heavy cut and it just doesn't do the design justice. Looks frumpy. Put this print on a sleek dress please.

Super cute and eye catching
Loved this and it fit perfectly. It was a bit hard to get on but once I got the hang of it it wasn't bad. I can understand other wearers complaints about it being tight in the torso and loose in the chest. I'm petite with a large chest so that worked in my favor but it wouldn't for everyone. Even with my small ribcage I still got impressions from the elastic smocked bodice in my skin after wearing all day. Still, super comfy and cute and I would wear again.

High Key Pajamas
So cute and comfy but def pajamas looking. You gotta dress em up a bit but it's easy - I wore a straw hat and heel sandals and it worked. The cut is also kinda hippy if that bothers you. I am 5'0" and the pants were to my ankles so they're cropped. A lot of fabric in the torso for me too but it looked ok. Drawstring makes it easy to adjust.

The print and colors are fun but the fabric is cheap-feeling and the cut isn't flattering on my bigger chest - lots of fabric and wrinkles and the high neck pulls a lot.

Surprisingly Cute
The colors are weird and you would think the print/seam/color combo would be too much (especially because the fabric of the black seam and the black diagonal hem detail are totally different black fabrics), but these weirdly worked and I got a lot of compliments on them. I wore them for Halloween week and they were very on-point. I'm 5'0" and they were full length on me.

Didn't Wear
It fit fine (def runs large - order your smaller size), but like other shorter women, I also felt that there was a lot of fabric and it went mumsy and unflattering. The torso area is especially problematic with lots of pleating and massive sleeves with an already-busy print. If this dress was sleeveless and pleatless on top it would be perfect because the print and fabric are fantastic.

Misleading Color
I picked this up in store, so I was surprised when I saw the online image - I like the color IRL but the photos here are misleading. It's definitely purple but it's more faded and less red, as opposed to the image, which makes the color seem like a rich, reddish, wine-dark color -- it's closer to a dark, faded lilac. The design itself is incredibly cute but very impractical. There's some space for someone to stick their hand in your bag if you're not paying attention, so though it looked cute, I was paranoid all night that something would fall out our I would get pickpocketed. Fun for a few days but happy to send it back.

LOVE lovelovelove
A really perfect little number! The fabric is heavier than I expected -- super forgiving and actually pretty warm! I have an hourglass figure that form-fitting skirts tend to ride up on, but the fabric and fit kept this from happening and it smoothed everything out. I got a TON of compliments and it was just so easy to rock! I am 5'0" and the skirt hit about an inch above my knee, so if you're average height this will be a bit shorter. Also the sleeves are SUPER long, extending past my fingertips. Bunching them ruins the silhouette, so I had to cuff them. Overall this is a fantastic dress and I will be renting it again!

Gets the Job Done
This sweater is about exactly what you'd expect. It's medium-soft, slouchy, and super comfy. I got lots of compliments. It looks tan from far away, but the yarn has thin threads of bright orange and light blue woven through that you can see up close which is a fun detail. It's square cut, but it's got long slits on each side so you get a subtle tapered silhouette. I probably could have gone with a XS but I liked how the S fit. I am 5'0" and the sweater went to a few inches above my knees.

If you like very cropped stuff this sweater is for you. The sleeves are baggy - almost batwing style - and this sweater is cropped even on me and I am 5'0" AND short waisted. The quality is fantastic, it's a pretty heavy fabric but not itchy or uncomfortable, and it's a unique piece that was fun to wear for a couple pf

So in love I bought it
This jacket is so cute! It runs long, I can even wear it as Sexy Executive Realness dress, but I only recommend that for us short ladies. It's pretty big but I like it that way. The colors are perfect especially if you have a propensity to wear black -- just throw it on over your fav black minidress, black jeans and tee, or whatever else you want. It look good dressed up or down, and it's thick enough to serve as a jacket in the fall with a cute scarf. I had to buy it, it's such a versatile piece. Would highly recommend.

Great dress, the back is really what makes it! I got compliments all night. I wore this to a wedding in Baltimore and it was too hot. I wouldn't recommend it for hot weather. It's a great holiday dress though! I tend to be a 4 but sometimes a 2 and I'm definitely a 2 in this size so if you're in between sizes, I would size down.

I loved this dress, and it was so perfect for a summer wedding in baltimore.

Tricky
This skirt is cute but it's pretty fussy. It's probably great if all you have to do is be tall, skinny, and stand all day but it's hard to pull off in a real-world scenario. It actually looked good when I slipped it on my short but curvy frame...but then I had to move around and the fun was over. The fabric is high quality and has a nice stretch, but the flap and buttons make it hard to lay flat in a flattering way. The flap doubles the fabric around your midsection and if you widen your stance too much, there are gaps in between the snaps down the front. And make no mistake they are snaps -- which popped open when I got out of an uber too fast at one point. Plus it's white and it's a rental -- no matter how much they clean it, there's still faint stains. Overall a very cute skirt in theory but less so in practice. Fun to wear once though!

So obsessed I bought it
This is THE perfect cuddly coat! I feel like I am wearing a teddy bear when I put it on. I rented this last-minute from the brick and mortar store because the temperature dropped unexpectedly that day and I needed something warm. From the second I slipped it on I got endless compliments wherever I went and couldn't take it off for days. I had to buy it and I have no regrets. I can't recommend this coat enough. One note about the coat is that mine has more of a shawl collar and on the model it's a notched lapel. I prefer the way mine is, with the shawl collar, but some might like it the way it is on the model. Something to take into consideration when renting.

Heavier and Bigger than It Looks
On the model, this dress looks like a light, airy thing. But it's actually heavy and itchy. It's a lot more formal feeling in person than in the photos. I knew it would be long on me at 5'0" but it dragged on the ground. It was basically like a gown. Also if you want it to look smooth you definitely have to have no extra fat on your body or wear spanx.

Not good for short or busty gals
Beautifully made and a lovely romper, but simply not meant for women with a shorter or bustier body type. Because I'm short, the torso had too much fabric and bunched up, emphasizing the extra flap of fabric on the one side of the torso and making it stick out. Extremely unflattering. Plus the fastener was too weak for my 32DD's and kept popping open. If you're tall with a smaller bra size, I'd say go for it, but I returned it right away without wearing.
