VERY cute dress!
Unfortunately, this runs really big in the bust and waist. It started to feel like I had a sack on. I may go down two sizes and try again for another upcoming trip. I usually wear a 14 or 16, so I went with 16 since this is the first piece I've rented from this designer. That was a mistake. I should have ordered a 12 or 14 based on how baggy this was on me. But it is a BEAUTIFUL dress. Very light and easy. I give 3 stars for now because of the fit. I think that it also is just not cut for women with hips/butt and a smaller waist. I will try a smaller size and see, but I experienced a lot of gaping up top and under the arms.

Got lots of compliments!
Very easy to get in/out of (which is a plus for a jumpsuit), and super comfortable! I liked the length of the pant. For a tall, curvy girl, cropped jumpsuits can be disastrous, but not this one. There's something about the cut and the shape...I think the tapered leg with the pleating does the trick. But I LOVED wearing it. I think I kept this one in rotation for about a month.

Runs very large!
I didn't get to wear this piece because it was SO BIG on me. But it is GORGEOUS! The dress is so beautiful that I was super bummed that I got the wrong size. I went up a size (18W) because I was certain it would run small, but even with a one size bump, I was swimming in this dress. I think I am going to go down to a 14W if I order it again, which I may. I am just waiting for the right event.

NOT a work dress for the busty women out there. But still a fabulous dress!
So, I was super self-conscious about the amount of cleavage I showed in this dress. That said, I wore it to a work function, so if I had been on a date or at a party or any other venue, I would not have been so aware of how open the neckline is. But I LOVE wearing this dress. It is so super sexy. And the sleeves, neckline, fit, and color are a perfect combo (at a non-business event). I wear a 38DD, so other size 16 wearers with smaller bust lines may not have the same concern. I am going to wear it again to a dinner party this week in NYC (not work related), so I still give it 5-stars.

Super cute dress. Love the fabric (stretchy and comfy), and it fits the body so well!
I felt super sexy in this dress. I thought it was a sweater dress in the photos (can you tell I didn't read the details or the reviews??), but it's a very stretchy, more structured, comfy material. Love this dress. I am going to hold onto it for a little bit. A couple of weeks maybe. I am thinking about wearing it Valentine's Day. Perfect date dress!

It's very simple. Smaller than I thought (from the picture), but a very classic design.
Small, with only one compartment. It's nice that a matching wristlet comes inside (and clips to the bag). I like the toggle style closure, but it doesn't really stay closed (or secure your items). I like the color and the sleek, classic design. All in all, I've enjoyed carrying it, but will probably be sending it back after a week.

People will compliment this bag all day long!
It is a very cute bag! Fits all of my things, including the occasional book for long subway rides or for when I'm waiting in line or just sitting at a restaurant or coffee shop. The instant I entered the office carrying it the first time, a co-worker commented on it, and it never stopped from there. The security guard in my office building even said something about this bag! It is a pretty good size. I was worried it would be much smaller in person, but it's a decent medium sized, deep purse. Very sturdy and structured! It is very open on both sides, where the side seams expand outward, so be careful when out and about. The inside of the bag is pretty exposed to rain, weather, and pick pockets. Just be aware that nothing important inside is being exposed to the elements or is easily viewed by the nosy person sitting next to you on the train.

Such a stunning dress!!
It fits true to size. It is very well lined, so it has some heft to it. I was worried the lace would snag, but it never did. I love this dress so much, I'm hanging onto it for a few weeks (I have an event just after New Year's). It is so cute. Love it!!

Wore this to work. Had a couple of meetings, followed by office holiday luncheon. Pretty cute look.
It fit true to size. The neck line was a little constricting, but it was pretty comfortable overall. The only issue that I had was where the pant leg hit. As a tall-ish girl (I am about 5'8.5"), the pants fell ABOVE my ankles. I really hate that! I know it is hard to have them in a variety of lengths, and I realize that this is a clothes sharing business, but I really wish that there were a tall(-ish) girl option. Or is it just the larger sizes that are for stumpy girls??? Some of us have curves and height. I just hate being cut off above the ankles. It's not a cute look (and not fun in cold weather).
