I could not tighten the waist enough to wear. Lovely color. Athleisure fabric. Huge. Hopefully a mislabeled size. Peitie Hourglasses, think twice.

Gorgeous, yet bodice is uncomfortable
First of all, the color and pattern are GORGEOUS. The straps are long, as mentioned, but they were fine. Unfortunately, the horizontal boning (maybe wrong word?) of the bodice were so tight and thick that I had to wear a very formed bra to keep from having 4 or 6 lumps. Almost painful. Made it work to wear once.

Barely got over hips
Love the pattern & pockets. I'm underweight right now and almost could not pull over my hips to wear. Waist was tight too. I was able to wear but could not lounge or sit comfortably. Size up.

Beautiful. Glad I sized up.
Lovely. Unlikely, I could have worn XS. Small still was snug on my small chest (I do have broad shoulders). The Small fit my tiny waist better than I expected. Glad rented small.

PERFECT Fall pants
I ordered in a rush and didn't realize the pattern and also choose Small, even though XS was recommended. So they weren't exactly what I expected but LOVED, wore multiple time, s & received many compliments. I'll rent again before it gets too cold, when XS is available (although I think with tights and boots they'd be fine in the cold too!)

Didn't wear. Every dimple, mole, seam glares.
The color is beautiful - albeit sort of spring-like. I was really excited to find somewhere to wear this. However, the Fabric. Reveals. EVERYTHING. I did not try shape wear, as I didn't like the quality of fabric enough nor did I have much hope for it making a significant enough improvement.

Too inexpensive looking to wear.
Another review mentioned looking cheap, but I thought wearing them in low light might make them more presentable. I was wrong. Didn't wear.

Maybe size up twice? I still wouldn't like it though..
I listened to the reviews and sized up. (I'm likely in between sizes right now anyway, but it wouldn't button over my chest without a huge gaping holes.) I left top button open... Within five minutes button #2 was undone. BUT that isn't even what caused my negative review. The ties that are sewn in the front is so awkward. You either wrap it around and obscure the cutout or just tie in front, which looks just wrong. Returning without even wearing it around the house. A very rare, total miss for me.

Holy petite hourglass
Fit & feel are amazing. I'm 25/26 but only 25 was available and high-waisted usually means I can size down. Fit in waist is 💯. I just purchased new (+ in black) elsewhere. The metal clasp of these is a bit warped, likely from a wider waist, but it doesn't impact wearing.

SOFT, casual, NOT warm
I'm usually a 26/25 and the 24 was *almost* too big. Insanely comfortable. Good length for a long-legged 5'4". HOWEVER, I misinterpreted the definition of sweatpant. I thought that denoted warmth. These are very thin (& so soft!) and there is nothing inherently warm about them. I hoped to wear to Jan. football game (with base layer undereath). Nope. That being said I'd keep them at a cheaper price!

Looks like glitter. Very shiny. Very comfortable.
I missed the glitter/shiny review. They'd be fine for a night out, but since I'm still locked-down I'll wear around the house and return. Very comfortable and warm. Nicely lined. They're great actually, but think shimmer.

Size down! I can't wait to try another size.
Love the color and snaps and slight elastic in the waist. Unfortunately, they're huge in the rear, and I have a substantial one. I'm almost always a 2 or 4 in pants, but I'm swimming in these. I'll try a 0 and hope the give in the waist allows them to be comfortable.

So comfortable. Cute. Netted midsection panel quite baggy in the back (likely from my short torso.)
I wish I'd rented XS; however, S fits well enough. Bright, yet understated fabric. Ultimately, I used it for a long (car) travel day. I may try XS another time.

Hourglass/tiny waists/no tirso, this is for you!! Carefully.
I have never had a pair of paints fit my waist as perfectly as these. I've worn out showing houses with clients with a sleeveless, mock turtle, fitted black shirt tucked in and it looks amazing. The slit comments are real but I haven't worn any special undergarments. I also never sit in them.. May purchase because I look old Hollywood tiny in them!

LOVE. These. Pants. The pattern is out there. I've worn them to all occasions, usually with a winter white cashmere sweater or black turtleneck sweater and high heels/boots. Heels a must at 5'4". People assume silk. Compliments galore. If between, size down. ~124lbs

3/4 sleeves (not full length).
I'll write a better review once I've worn. It's GORGEOUS. I'm excited to wear. I'll use some tape to keep v-neck closed, but wanted to alert asap that the dress is not as pictured. Sleeves are just passed my elbow. I prefer this actually!

Head turner. Versatile color. Substantial & forgiving fabric. Sexy slit.
~121lb. Loved this dress! I debated size 2 or 4 and I'm thankful chose 4. It was tight where it hit on my mid-to-upper back and there was some skin bulge. I didn't have bra with a low enough back but the fabric is substantial enough to support. I added some gel cups to enhance. Many compliments. Color fine for fall (or spring or summer I think).

Could not wear. Chest too exposed with zero support. I didn't realize cotton-y, frilly fabric.
Overall the fit was fine and even flattering; however the chest is so exposed due to deep v and very little fabric, there's no way and no where I can could possibly wear it. I'd guess anything above a perky B cup, no-go.

Similar to other reviews, the fit was off for me. The front hole was too big and I didn't have appropriate bra, which I needed for support.

Light summer fabric. Fun pattern.
Festive but nicely understated party dress. Works for hourglass. Wore on a very hot evening without fear. Needed high heels to help proportion. Straps too long/loose but worked. Buttons a bit cumbersome. Wore pasties since strapless bras cups would show. Could work for many occasions.

Fit is perfect. Fabric felt wonderful. Length was perfect. I was in a hurray and didn't read reviews. Too many sparkles for everyday. If I'd ordered in December I probably would have worn it anyway.

Beautiful fabric. Unforgiving in my lower ab and rear. Didn't wear.
Gorgeous dress. Fabric, colors, cut/design all lovely. Length worked. Bra might have been tricky but I didn't get that far because (and I knew I was taking a chance on this), but bloated and dimpled lower body was not having it. It fit but was far from flattering. Sadly returned with tags still on.

If you have broad shoulders & a small head think twice. Crazy big shoulder pads.
I couldn't wear it. Everything about this blazer except one fatal error is luxe, beautiful, and cut nicely. HOWEVER, it has massive, overstuffed shoulder pads that made me look like a lineman. I'm pretty petite too. It was comical looking, unfortunately. I also should have sized down one or two sizes (but 6 & 8 were not available).

Compliments all night. XX-plunging bra and tape needed.
~120lbs. Gorgeous. Definitely needed heels proportionally, but at 5'3" I could have worn flats. Very low cut on me. Thankfully NYE I'm ok with that. Also, there's a hook closure I didn't see at first. I cuffed and pushed up sleeves. Not sure when I can wear such a plunge again, but I hope to!

A pretty dress. Received more compliments than expected.
~121lbs It didn't wow me (to be fair it didn't wow me even in the photos though I rented anyway). Pretty & forgiving fabric. I probably could have worn XS. Fine, almost hose-like material. I was afraid it'd be 'fragile' but no issues. Wore twice.

I couldn't make the chest work. Returned unworn.
~121lbs. Beautiful dress. Nice fabric. Fit had enough stretch to be very forgiving and masking of my turkey baby. Length good. Unfortunately I am rarely able to go without a bra and I could not figure out how to obtain the lift and shaping I need invisibly. Tried 4 different bras with and without tape. It was for a crowded, indoor event. If it'd been for an event more arm's length or perhaps chilly so I could wear a jacket I might have kept.

Love. Most have no idea it's a sweatshirt. Was not itchy to me.
~121lbs. I'm between xs/s and I'm glad I chose small. Really love. A legitimately classy sweatshirt. I wore for Thanksgiving lunch, to dinner, and to a work luncheon. No one believes it's a sweatshirt. I'm often sensitive to "scratchy" fabric but the sleeves didn't bother me at all. Hated to send back.

Gorgeous. Could barely zip. Should have rented 4R!!
I'll still wear it once, but it will literally be difficult to sit. Somehow the pattern hides my accentuated lower stomach pooch. From the upper hip to the bust extremely tight. I didn't notice 2 was the smallest size...so perhaps it is true to size but definitely too small for me! A lot of fabric for my frame, but I'm getting more and more used to that style and it works.
