Awkward Waist
These pants fit very awkwardly over the waist and my late second trimester bump. Not sure if they think my bump was supposed to be bigger than it is, but the pants just had a weird cut overall. And because they didn't fit snugly around the bump they kept slipping and sliding off, so I wouldn't recommend.

Cute, but wraps low
I'm potentially a little too modest for shirts cut like this, so take that into account with my review. I wore this shirt to work and had to keep re-adjusting the wrap so that it cut across my boobs to cover more rather than sitting where the wrap is intended to fall, otherwise I was going to be showing a lot of cleavage to the office and that probably wasn't going to go over well. Other than that, super soft, comfortable and very cute.

Not for busty ladies
I really wanted to wear this to a spring wedding, but I put it on and it squished my boobs in the most unflattering and uncomfortable way, so I swapped it for a more casual dress I had at home. Perhaps its the pregnancy boobs, but this dress was not made for me.

Great Work Sweater
This was the perfect sweater to wear to work over some leggings in order to look put together yet casual. Love the length of it, though I maybe could've gotten away with a Medium instead - just wanted to have a little room to breathe and it was almost too large (even with my 2nd-trimester bump in the way).

Wore this over a grey maternity dress to give it a little extra oomph. It's a bit of a boxy jacket, so just make sure you're wearing something fitted underneath and it'll look great!

Hips Too Narrow
Maybe it's just an issue with maternity jeans in general, but even though my pre-pregnancy size is 29, I couldn't get these up over my hips because my hips are wide and not having a zipper means there's no flex in the top of the pants to pull them up.

Just be aware that the lace is see-through! But it's a great sweater for when you need something that's casual but still has a design element to it.

Loved it, and it was very comfortable, but it was definitely too long for my little legs...it hit below mid-calf on me, but that ended up being fine for the weather here.

LOVE
I truly loved this jumpsuit! I was nervous about wearing one, but this one was great. The cut is long enough in the torso for me that I didn't end up with a wedgie and the material felt really nice and sat well on my body. Looked like a boss in it.

Arm holes a little too big
Rented this for a vacation in Europe and it's a great shirt! My only problem with it was that no matter which bra I wore or how I adjusted it you always ended up being able to see part of my bra because of how the arm holes are cut. Other than that it's just long enough to tuck into pants for a more polished look or wear loose over jeans for a casual feel.

A little low in the bust
Very flattering dress, but I am perhaps too modest for it as I was always checking that I had it tight enough to make sure my bra wasn't showing. Certainly not able to wear it WITHOUT a bra at my chest size which would've gotten rid of that issue. I did wear it a second time with a different bra and it was better cut for the dress, but I still wasn't 100% comfortable in it.

Classic with a twist
Great jacket! I rented it for a trip to Europe and it was just the right weight and style for London's early fall weather. The leather was nice and soft and the knit sleeves made it so I felt like I could easily dress it up or down depending on the need.

Awkwardly Proportioned
I was so looking forward to wearing this dress, but I ended up not wearing it because it fits so weirdly on me. It was really long and the neck was too deep and then the buttons all kept popping open around my ribs but it was so large that it's not like they popped open because it didn't fit.

Fit and flattering
It's a simple dress, but it looks so great on. Clings where it should and hides where I'm self conscious. The petite was the perfect length for me with about 3" heels (and even flat foot it was only a little long). I couldn't wear a bra with the dress, so just be prepared for that.

Cute but baggy
Maybe I just don't know my size as much as I thought I did, but I felt like I was swimming in this dress. It's cute and comfortable and the nipped in waist is good, but not my favorite.

Obsessed
I'm obsessed with this jacket and would buy it if I could afford it. It's such a badass jacket and can be worn so many different ways - over a dress for an edgy look or with jeans and a tee for that relaxed-cool style. I wore it to work today with a pair of black boots, dark jeans, and a chambray shirt - sans belt. So many compliments. And the sleeve are extra long so it feels a little like wearing your boyfriend's jacket as well. So obsessed.

Super Cute & Casual
As is always these case, I loved the lace sleeve detail on this sweater and even though the puffed up sleeve was cute. I wore it with a pair of dark wash jeans and some booties and it added an elevated element to the outfit for work.

Cute but awkward cold shoulder length
I liked this sweater and got a lot of compliments on it, but because my arms are so short the holes felt like they took up half of my arm. I think it was just an awkward length for me.

SO CUTE! I was worried the see-through part around the waist would reveal my rolls to people, but it hits high enough to give you room to breath and sit without looking awkward or frumpy. It's very soft and comfortable and made for a great dress to wear on my night out.

Leather front straps hits weird
It's a cute dress, but I probably should've sized down - though I don't think my chest would've fit then. The leather strap piece that runs across the bust cut my chest in a really weird way and gave me quad-boob. It wasn't a good look so I ended up not wearing it out.

Gaps A Bit
I had a huge problem with the shirt opening up as I moved around my day. There's nothing to keep the two sides of the shirt together other than how it lays and how they connect on the sides/seams. Maybe this wouldn't be as much of an issue for larger bust sizes, but I was relatively certain I was going to show my whole office my bra at some point. When the shirt laid like it was supposed to, it was cute and comfortable, but I did have to make sure I didn't move around too much in it!

Cute Details
I've got really short arms, so for me, the fit of this sweatshirt required that I roll the sleeves up to fit. No big deal, I'm used to it, but it does take away from the look a little. I got a lot of compliments on the sweater especially since I paired with a pair of "dress leggins" AKA pencil-leg dress pants in heathered grey and black booties. The zipper across the front is a fun, if impractical, detail that adds a little attitude to the piece.

High-Low Hemline a little too high
Maybe I wore it too high on my waist instead of on my hips, but this skirt felt like it was a little too high for comfort. The gap definitely hit higher above my knees than the image shows and I was self conscious in it all night. I couldn't have worn it any lower though or it wouldn't have fit and I would've been miserable with the tightness. Just not the skirt for me, I guess.

Perfect Princess In Pink
This skirt was amazing, I got so many compliments while I was wearing it. My husband and I went to a Halloween party as Sleeping Beauty and Prince Philip and the skirt was the perfect pink for it. Loved it! It fit really nicely around my waist as well and helped keep the hourglass shape without killing my stomach.

Smushed Boobs
I ended up not wearing this shirt because no matter which way I tried to situate myself it just made me look smushed through the chest and huge through the stomach. I'd give it a go if you're smaller on top, but probably not if you've got a larger chest.

Maybe not for larger chests
Overall, I really liked the dress. My only complaint is that I had to go with a 10 to make sure my chest fit and then the waist of the dress was too big and made me look a little larger than I am. The pockets are GREAT! And the material is light enough for a warmer day, but stiff enough/heavy enough to hold up against the wind a little.

Great transition piece
This is a great late summer/ early fall transition piece. The wool-like middle keeps your torso nice and warm and then the lace sleeves allow for some air flow and cooling. Fit was great, not too baggy and the sleeves were the right length even on my short arms. The poof at the shoulder isn't over the top, so it avoids looking too 80s.

Cute! Annoying bow
One of my favorite parts of these pants was the bow for the belt, but it's a little fussy and I took a few times to tie it to my satisfaction - which also made trips to the restroom take a little longer than I'd like. Other than that, I love them. They're super comfortable, very adorable, and the vertical stripes are flattering and help make you look a little taller. Plus the real pockets are wonderful.

Comfortable and airy
Rented this for all day research in NYC. The shirt if very soft and comfortable and felt smooth and silky. I wore it with just a pair of regular jeans and there was a little gap between the shirt and the pants, so may recommend wearing with high waisted pants if stomach skin is a no-no for you.

So tight!
Beautiful dress, but my hips and thighs felt like they were dying all night because the silk underlining in the dress made it much too tight for comfort. I have 4/5 stars because it is a BEAUTIFUL dress and I got tons of compliments, but it was literally so tight I had trouble taking it off to go to the restroom - definitely size up if you get it.

Cute and airy, but a little revealing for work
I rented this dress as part of my unlimited account. It's beautiful and very light and airy, wonderful for a hot day. The only note is that the neckline is pretty revealing because it's a true wrap dress. It's very attractive for a wedding or date night where the chest isn't an issue, but needs a cami underneath for work which makes the bust look a little awkward compared to the design. Overall, very cute but consider where you want to wear it.

Elastic waist not really elastic
4/5 instead of 5/5 only because the waistband which looks like elastic isn't a fully elastic band, so it almost didn't stretch enough to get over my big butt. The pants fit really well once I actually got them on, but I was petrified I was going to rip them every time it had to pull them up over my hips. Other than that, true to size and the waistband looked and fit perfect once in place. May wear again a size up with a more casual outfit or as a beat coverup.

Comes Undone - Wear A Cami
I rented this for a bridal shower party because it was cute but still a little conservative...but the hook and eye clasps on the front are only a little bit helpful in keeping the dress shut. As a matter of fact, the top one kept coming undone and showing off my boring nude bra to anyone I was speaking to. I wasn't out there doing acrobatics in the dress or anything, it would just pop undone while I was talking to someone or writing something down. I was exceptionally self-conscious in it all day, but it was very pretty and almost every time I saw someone they said it was beautiful. So 4/5 stars because it's still wearable if you put a cami underneath.
