Didn’t end up wearing
Was my backup plan so I didn’t end up wearing it. Mostly because this dress was definitely heavier than I was going for and the corset-style boning inside the top part was a little too tight for sitting down comfortably. Otherwise, really beautiful fabric and nicely shaped dress! Hides bloat well aside from the tight feeling from the boning.

Wish I could wear it
Without a petite size option, this dress really just swallowed me up. At 5’2” and usually a true 8, the dress was just way too long without any slit. Also seemed like I’d be adjusting the top up a ton if worn for a while. Really nice looking dress for a summer event! Just didn’t work for me.

Nice
Perfect little bag for an occasion. Really fits only your phone, credit card and id, and maybe some lip gloss, but for a wedding that was totally fine! Firm magnetic close was nice too.

Simple, easy to wear
Wore for a bridal shower in May and it worked perfectly. The high-low cut is a little dramatic so the front ends up being pretty short (I'm 5'2" and wore bicycle shorts under just in case). I'm normally an 8 in dresses, but the 6 fit perfectly on shoulders and boobs. The 8 probably woulda been a little too loose. It's a classic shift dress shape, so a little boxy, but the lines are all really nicely done so it doesn't look like a potato sack. Needs ironing for sure.

Spicy summery dress
Didn't end up wearing because it didn't end up working for the event, but I wish I had something else to wear it to. The material is a structured thick cotton. The color is more limey green than yellow. It's a deep v, so it will be cleave-central, but with no bra, it was okay and held things in fairly nicely (36C). The little peakaboo slot is super tasteful and can actually be pulled to make it look larger or smaller if you want. Drop waist surprisingly not weird!

Nice for springy summery event
Didn't end up wearing because it didn't end up making sense for the event. However, tried both medium and small, and both fit, but the small fit better overall on top. Definitely long for shorties (5'2") but with 2.5" heels it would be okay. The boobs are expooooosed and the material is very light and seemed slightly stretchy. Normally an 8 in dresses (136lbs) and the small somehow was the best fit.

A true crop
Wore this around Miami with high waisted shorts. It was super cute, nice cool fabric and slightly loose, however it was extremely short (and I have a very short torso and am only 5'2"). It didn't make it past my belly button in the Large. The high waisted shorts made it work for me but long torsoed folks, note: you will be exposed. The V isn't super deep, pretty normal lowness akin to the Madewell v neck tshirt.

Simple statement
Wore this on a night out with high waisted jeans. The shoulders are a real statement so it made everything look a little nicer than just a top and jeans. Not fitted and slightly cropped, but wouldn't say it's actually a crop top (almost normal length on my very short torso). Everything was loose and comfortable (was in Miami). No complaints!!

A little spicy, but still classy
Really enjoyed this dress and received a ton of compliments. I'm 5'2" and 136lbs and the 6 fit me perfectly. I'm normally an 8 or 10 in dresses. The 8 fit fine as well, but I liked that the 6 was a little more fitted in the boobs to hold everything in a little better (because of no bra and deeeep v). Thought the drop waist would be weird, but shockingly worked with everything else going on with the dress. I wore bicycle shorts underneath for extra smoothing but it def go alone. Recommend 10/10.

Super comfortable and easy
Wore for a wedding in Sonoma. Somehow this fit perfectly on me - 5'2" and normally size 8-10. The length worked moreso as a full-length dress on me, but it was definitely okay with heels. The torso wasn't too tight and had a little bit of give in the fabric. The neckline is a fairly deep V, I would say, but without a bra, it held everything in comfortably for me. Dancing, sitting, standing, eating - all was super easy - I didn't find myself adjusting anything like I'm used to with more formal dresses. Truly boggled my mind that it fit so well and it was the only size I ordered, so bless.

Comfortable, easy to dress up or down
Fit definitely ran large. I'm normally a Large or 8-10 and I wore the medium still feeling like I could've used a little less room. Was super comfortable and easy to get off/on for the bathroom. I'm 5'2" and the medium length hit me a little bit above my ankles - wearing heels it all looked okay, though. Only issues I found were the material did NOT breathe at all, so in the 88 degree heat, it was a little sweaty. Also, the v-neck area that crosses over the boobs kept trying to fly open - I wore more of a bralette under just in case. Lastly, if you have wide hips, this jumpsuit will definitely highlight that. Fortunately, the tie at the waist helps even things out a bit so I didn't feel self-conscious.

Love these
These are so fun. Slightly leathery/shiny look, so you can dress them up, but they're comfortable as heck because they're just leggings. High quality material and they didn't fall down or anything. Wore with a fun flowy top and chunky black boots to a holiday party and it worked out great. V flattering.

Fun party top
Wore this to a work holiday party. Sleeves were a little much and kind of annoying but overall the top was fun a flowy, perfect for dancing. Definitely intended to be more of a baby doll fit, so not fitted. You can tie the little neck tie or not. I chose not to and it worked out well.

High quality sweater/long sleeve top
Really nice top - not incredibly thick so almost like a long sleeve top. Fits true to size, but sleeves were a tad bit long. The material is really high quality though. Got lots of compliments just wearing it to work.

Wrinkles easily, but very nice
It's a linen-y material, so it wrinkles at any moment (especially when you sit). But otherwise, fits true to size, comes with the tie around the waist or you can wear without. Annoying to go to the bathroom but hey it's a romper. Shorts are a good length to cover your butt. And fabric feels thick enough that you're not just jiggling around.

Slightly cropped, thicker than you think
Found this top extremely well-made but a lot thicker than I thought it'd be. As long as you're ready for that, wonderful top. A slight crop to it, but not aggressively.

Didn't end up wearing. The material is a lot to handle with all of the designs. Every pattern you feel on the inside as well, so it's very uneven and bumpy feeling. Just not a comfortable wear.

Boxy wide
Got the size they recommended and I expected a baggy sweater, but the width of the sweater is what threw me off. Incredibly wide and boxy, not even that long, so it kind of just floated around me and made me look larger. Love the materials and the colors, but I would maybe size down if you want something a little less wide.

Lovely feminine top for any time
This is such a nice, simple, yet elegant top. The fit is definitely more cropped, so on my short torso it fit just right. The material is nice and slightly shiny so it really looks elegant and high quality. The shoulders really make it! Seemed to fit true to size, no weird tight spots or aggressively loose spots.

Fine Top, kind of skews older looking?
Fit true to size with a loose fit after the boobs. Sleeves were fun. The v neck could go low if you wanted, but if you didn't you just had to adjust the shirt back a little bit. Totally fine. I did feel like the pattern or design made me look a little matronly. Maybe that's just me. Almost covered my butt but I have a very short torso, so it's probably normal length! Fit around the boobs was fine too. Not a stretchy material.

Just didn't fit me right
The shirt is a little boxy and just didn't sit right on my body so I didn't end up wearing. The neck tie is confusing how it's supposed to go. I couldn't tie it so it looked correct or natural. Otherwise cute top! Nice subtle pattern.

Fun, flowy nice top
Super fun too. It has a bunch of different layers so it moves in a cool way with you. All the layers go nicely over each other so nothing is see through. The material is lovely except it's the kind that attracts static electricity. So just have some static guard around if you're wearing in the winter. Otherwise, fits true to size with a looser fit but not baggy.

Fun oversized sweater
Loved this sweater and got so many compliments! The sweater isn't too heavy so it's nice for everyday wear. The fit is loose and baggy so it's easy to pair with lots of different things. Only thing I had was that the neck line was pretty close to the neck, so if you don't like things touching your neck, maybe avoid. But again, five stars still.

LBD
Rented this for an all day business-formal meeting. Was slightly longer on my (5'2") but still above the knee. The shape was very flattering and the V in the front was not aggressively low, so it was still very appropriate for a business setting. Really nice LBD for whatever occasion.

Nice LBD or LGD
Wore this for a full day of a trade show, taking meetings and standing around. The sleeves reminded me of that dinosaur from Jurassic Park, but were still fun and didn't get in the way. The fabric is stretchy so it was easy to wear and lasted well throughout the day. It's also a nice thicker fabric, so pretty forgiving as I bloated throughout the afternoon. True to size but definitely only for short people!! I'm 5'2" and it was like perfect mini on me.

Didn't end up wearing, but fine!
Didn't end up wearing mainly because it was going to be too warm for standing all day in a hot trade show booth. The neckline was right up to your neck and the fabric was not forgiving for a bloated bloat baby. It fit true to size though and the sleeves were cool. Just wasn't right for what I needed it for.

Simple, reliable black top
Super simple black top. Slight crop to it but if you have a short torso like me it's not really cropped. Sleeves help balance it out. No real stretch to the material. But the fit is loose enough that you're not choking or uncomfortable. Would be a good purchase prob!

Wore this to work. The shoulders have a little poof to them which is a nice touch. I had to keep adjusting the shirt back though so it didn't look weird on my shoulders. Otherwise, fit loosely but not sloppy. Cuuuuuute and fun polka dots

Just weird
The shape of the top with the side pulled over the way it is just came out very strange on my left side. Made it look bumpy and frumpy and I adjusted it so many times to see if I could make it look normal and I just couldn't. So I didn't end up wearing. The material is nice and thick. The crew cut neck was tightly crew cut with not too much give either. Just strange experience overall.

Strange
Didn't end up wearing. The flaps on the back and the flap on the front just looked a little strange. The dress is also less shift dress-y than I thought - it hugs you instead. Material is also not tweed-y like it looks! It's a lighter material with that pattern on it.

Cute Fitted Top
Great tailored shirt to be dressed up or down! Wore casually to work. It's tailored at the waist so it hugs there, but seemingly true to size. The tie at the top is imperative to keep the top of the shirt fitted to your shoulders. But it did come untied a couple times but not inappropriately so. Solid length for my torso (hit me mid Butt) but I am short torsoed. There is no stretch to the material at all which I felt a little but overall super cute top. Recommend 10/10

Cute, simple feminine top to dress up or down
Loved this top! The material is slightly shiny and does not stretch, but it was true to fit. It's tailored so you have a little waist shape and then a fun poofy shoulder but not aggressively poofy. The V neck can be scandalous for work, but if you just pull the top back a bit, it is totally appropriate. It fit my torso but I have a very short torso, so it may end up being slightly short on normal torso-ed folks. Can be dressed up or down - wore with skinny jeans and booties with a block heel. Was perfect for a day at work.

Fit is like a tunic as long as you're short torso-Ed like me. Material is not exactly flannel but is thick and warm still. Sleeves rolled up nicely and stayed the whole day. Wore with leggings and tall boots. Not like a special top or anything but it was a nice change from my usual and good quality!!
