fit nicely but gaped in front too much
Liked the flare, but the chest did not have enough support for my breasts. The wiring that provided support was bent in a way that was intentional and provided arch to the breast cups that i did not need. I wished the shoulder straps were tighter to give more lift, for my body at least! Might be better on a younger and less chesty woman. I also thought that on a woman of my stature, it gave the illusion of less height. Once on, I felt that the flare at the leg was a little less formal than the occasion I wanted to wear it for (black tie wedding). I had another dress (equally revealing!) that I liked more and found more flattering, so sent this one back.

did not fit my shoulders and bust, too roomy despite good fit otherwise
this dress was nicely fit through the waist and made of lovely feeling fabric. Unfortunately, the design of the dress gaped too much and drooped my mom-boobies; I needed wayyy more support. Perhaps not a good choice for larger sizes. I felt completely frumpy, but could make the dress appear supportive if i were able to alter the shoulder straps to have an inch less give - alas, can't alter the rental.

poorly proportioned for my body
I'm not sure who this should fit, super exaggerated hourglass shapes for sure! And I already consider myself an hourglass. THese pants fit me perfectly through the hips and butt; loved the high waist but it wouldnt even button closed! The waistband was wayyy to small. And yet, sizing up would not have helped, as they would then been too baggy in the butt and hips. Returned for sure. Cute scallop.

Too short, worn anyways with high waisted pants
This fell right below my belly button, and I have a short torso and long legs to begin with. I modified and tied the sash around the front to give the illusion of more length, but this shirt really could have been made with 2 more inches of fabric to extend to the hips. I have a mommy tummy, and made it work, but this top might flatter thinner angular flat chested types better. Love the pattern, high quality feel to the fabric.

HOW TO PEE WITHOUT HELP?
I didn't end up wearing this - although I ended up liking the way it looked, the colors and the fit were both enjoyable and flattering. I'm not sure who designs rompers with no stretch and needing to be zipped in- because how the heck would you use the bathroom in this without help? at least add a snap or zipper crotch closure for access if you do. An XL would have been my perfect fit, but was not available. The L was slightly snug but too flattering; I'm calling this true to size.

lower quality fabric, doesnt hold shape
not stiff to hold shape, frumpy and floppy. Wouldn't recommend for larger sizes, pear shapes, or short persons.

Medium weight, daring colors, comfortable for shoulder seasons
I was warm in 70+ degrees and chilly under 64 degrees in this finely knit shirt. I would call it more of a shirt than a sweater, although it is knit it is thinner and I mostly did not layer it as I initially expected I would. I -loved- this and wanted to wear it more...almost started thinking people would notice I was wearing the same thing every day! Considering buying, if the price drops more.

Sunset Icon Sweater

Great color and quality, loved despite some ill fit concerns
I wore this multiple times, it was quite warm/wool, and really enjoyed being about town, picking up kids at school, going to zoo etc. in it, looks great with jeans and flats. I did find that the shoulders and arms were a bit big, despite the fit being comfortable and not large in the sleeve length, torso, and chest. there was some droop around the armpits, kinda boxy. Even so, I'd buy this at a lower purchase price.

loved the cut and fabric, would have worn in right size
this sadly did not zip on me. runs small, as is the same size as I got for many other dresses in my shipment. Loved the luxurious fabric, great weight and would flow and flounce nicely when worn. Unsure about the center slit positioning. not too high of a slit.
