Lots of compliments
Cute pattern and good quality beadwork. Lots of compliments on this unusual purse.

Not for muscular or larger arms
My arms are a little more muscular than average so the arm cuffs can be problematic with some dresses. That was, sadly, the case with this adorable dress. Would have been great for work, church, or a daytime event.

Too short for me!
I’m 5’9” and the length of the skirt was hitting higher on my mid-thigh than I was hoping for. The skirt was also very open at the bottom, so the silhouette looked like a dress for a doll. Maybe cute on someone else but not what I personally was looking for with this item.

Weirdly large arm holes
Fit perfectly except the arm holes were too large and therefore any bra would show... and this wasn't really the look for a dress with side boob

The colors were drab on me, but it worked well as a neutral base with other more colorful pieces.

Super flattering and great color
Really liked the way this dress accentuated my curves. The length was pretty long, more ankle than mid length.

Lovely dress that hugged the right spots
Loved how lightweight this dress was, and had great movement. The back was too low for a traditional bra, so I used sticky nipple covers. The material is slightly sheer, but since it is double layered, undergarments (or lack) isn’t detectable.

I thought the print and brighter colors were cute. Wore to work with slacks and felt comfortable moving around throughout the day.

Nice colors, lightweight
Nothing special, but a nice lightweight button-down. Would have been cuter if I’d dressed it down with some denim, rather than trying to dress it up for work with slacks.

Tiny arm holes!
I have larger muscles in my shoulders and upper arms, and this dress was too tight and didn’t accommodate them. Otherwise it was a cute dress, and would have been fine. Still, the fabric was a little on the scratchy side.

I was thinking this would jacket would be more like a tangerine orange, but it has more of a neon halloween orange quality. Unfortunately, this color looks awful on my complexion.

The earrings look nice, as pictured, but they are like wearing gold bars on your ears - way too heavy.

Beautiful print and gauzy fabric, but WHY SO BIG???
There is no universe where this is even remotely true to size. The fit is, I assume, supposed to be loose and airy, but this is just barely able to stay on. I was able to make some impermanent modifications to make it work: tied the straps in a loop so they did not fall off, pinned the excess fabric together with a pin to create a front pleat at the chest/base of the bust (eliminating approx 5” of extra room). This did not diminish the drapey look of the dress while still allowing it to look like it was the correct size.

Bright and light
The color is bright and fun, and the fabric is very light making this an easy layer for little sun protection or when it gets a few degrees colder in the evening.

Great color and fit, mind the gaps
Love this dress, but since it is unlined, you have to make sure you have perfectly nude/skin-tone undergarments. This would likely not be appropriate in many settings, but was great for a dinner out after a day at the beach in a very casual dining environment.

Should have gotten a medium or small
The large was way too large in the bust, and straps were way too long. Gave this to a friend to try on who is more of a true large and a bit bustier, and it fit her great!

Awkward fit
I just couldn’t figure out how to make this work. I tried styling with a bodysuit underneath, and that made it appropriate for work. But the silhouette was not right on my body. It made my waist look bigger. Tried a little tuck to accentuate the waist, but it looked silly with the cut of the blouse. I wanted to like it, but it just wasn’t a win for me.

This fit perfectly. Lot of room for my more muscular arms in the sleeves. A really pretty silhouette, and the colors made me look quite tan!

A little roomy on top
I’ve worn similar styles from Derek Lam and thought this would fit like the others. This one was a little roomier on top… it was fine, but would have worked better for someone with a larger bust than mine. The material was quite thick and rigid. The light blue color was nice and the reason why I wore it anyway, despite the imperfect fit.

Cute top - great with shorts or jeans
This top is very easy to wear and very versatile. The fit is flattering. It is rather cropped, so probably wouldn’t work in a professional setting. I rented this last year to wear on a trip and liked it then, too.

Very light, airy, and cute
I think the best part of this dress was how light and airy it was on a very hot day. The slightly higher slit on the side gave a little extra interest to the otherwise plain A-line silhouette. The dress is rather casual, and I don’t see it as having much “dress it up or down” potential.

Light airy and great color
I've rented this multiple times because I love how the color looks on me and how effortless the dress looks. Perfect for a day or evening out in the warmer months, and is cute with a denim jacket. Not great for work because of the little cutout in the bust area.

Cute top - weird arm holes
I really like the top and the colors. The only strange thing about the top was the cuff openings were quite long, so it would gape a lot showing a lot of forearm, and that meant the button was coming undone often. It was a little annoying but certainly not a dealbreaker.

Overall, not a stunner. Just a plain plaid shirt that needed to be ironed before wearing, but I did like the colors - kinda Christmas-y.

More like a bra top than crop top
The proportions of this top weren’t great - much more cropped than shown in the photos. I thought it might work with some high-waisted pants but I don’t have any that high.
