Runs small
The 32 is supposed to be like a 14, but it seems more like a 10-12. Also I hadn't noticed that is has a button fly closure, rather than a zipper. I couldn't even get close to buttoning it!

Too short!
I'm 5'6"--not particularly tall!--and this was way too short. And since it has sleeves, getting it off required some major shoulder contortions. 2 stars because it seems like it would be cute if it were a couple inches longer!

Oversized, warm
When I tried this on at home in a tank top, I noticed that the furry interior is actually, surprisingly, a little bit scratchy. It was never a problem for me when I was wearing long sleeves under it, but it might bother you if you're sensitive.

Shearling Cropped Biker Jacket

Tight in the armpits, shorter than expected, but cute!
I didn't expect this top to be a problem for my thick/muscular shoulders, since so many reviewers commented on the loose sleeves slipping down. But the seam around the bust and under the armpits is actually quite tight and not stretchy at all. So I can barely, barely get this on. (I actually had to step into it and pull it up!) Once I do it's super cute! It's much shorter than I realized, 1-2" above my navel.

Less stretch than you might expect
I *barely* managed to get this over my broad shoulders; it has less stretch than you might expect. But once I got it on it fit everywhere else (and thankfully it wasn't hard to get off). On me the top is very modest: I fill it out so it doesn't slide down and show any cleavage. The skirt did ride up, probably more so because it was a bit on the small side. I think if I'd sized up it wouldn't have been an issue at all.

Great Jones

Bust: 36DDD/E
Odd fit, but not bad
I could kind of tell from the pictures of the model that the fit was going to be odd on my bust, but for some reason I tried it anyway. For my big boobs, a crossover style works best if it falls *between* the boobs. This one tries to go over both, and it's not quite wide enough for that. So it doesn't know where to stay; it rides up all day long. And, as other reviewers have noted, if it rides up it shows some midriff. Still, it wasn't terrible, and if I wasn't at work I wouldn't have minded the riding-up as much. The knit is nice and soft.

Tight in the shoulders
This jacket pretty much fit, except it was tight in the shoulders. (I have thick/muscular shoulders; this happens a lot.) I wore it once. It wasn't that exciting to look at, but it was warm!

Way too small for my broad shoulders
This is indeed very short, as other reviewers have commented. It's also not that stretchy; I couldn't fit it over my shoulders.

Loved the swishy pleats
The pleats at the bottom of the skirt aren't my usual style, but I loved how they swished around my knees when I walked.

Size down probably
This is that kind of ribbed fabric that's basically infinitely stretchable, so the dress will fit a wide range of body shapes and sizes. For me the open back was about 2 inches too low for me to wear a bra; perhaps a smaller size would have worked better for that.

Black Off The Shoulder Sweater Dress

Cute, but too scratchy to wear
I couldn't keep this on my body for 5 minutes, let alone a whole day. I would have needed a long sleeve shirt under it to tolerate the scratchiness, but (a) that would have been way too hot, and (b) the neckline of this sweater wouldn't work for most undershirts.

so many compliments!
The color is amazing and the vegan leather is super soft. The fit is really comfortable. Jackets are often too tight in the shoulders for me, but not this one! The furry collar isn't something I'd usually go for, but I like it and it makes the jacket warmer than it would be otherwise. I've been wearing it for about 2 hours, and have already received numerous compliments from strangers on the street. Update: I already bought the jacket (which was on sale at Noize), because I can't live without it!

Suren Jacket
NOIZE
Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 14

Bust: 36DDD/E
I wore this dress to a wedding, and it looked great. I got sizes 8 and 10, and both fitted fine--the fabric is very stretchy. I think I ended up wearing the 8. The only problem I had is that the folds in the fabric over the bust wouldn't stay in place--they would all bunch up at the top or bottom. That could have been because I filled out the top pretty thoroughly (I'm a 34DD). I also had trouble with the sleeves--they would slide up my shoulders. I didn't receive a "fit kit" with the dresses for some reason, but if I'd had some double-sided tape it might have helped.
