Long straps and heavy weight
As in other reviews, I found the straps too long and the dress a bit too heavy. The fit also was not very flattering around the waist. Didn't wear

Neckline is very low
This dress looks innocent but has such a low neckline! I didn't wear it as I couldn't find any bras that wouldn't show

Too boxy, size down
Unless you really really like the oversized fit, size down. I'm usually an XL in button down shirts and I was swimming in this

Not for me
This ran a bit long. I thought that with the roofing around the waist, I could hike it up a bit, but the fabric was heavy and slippery, and slid down. It also had early maternity vibes and was not terribly flattering. Although it is a pink dress it is not very breathable so it just felt heavy and hot. I didn't wear it.

Very comfy and cool
Good fabric and drape. Linen blend wrinkles a bit but steams out easy. Definitely runs large, size down

Just not quite right
I found the waist on these a bit higher than my naturally wait so the proportions were odd. The fabric has a pattern detail that makes it a bit bumpy looking. I liked the vibrant color and comfortable smocked top, plus pockets, but didn't wind up wearing

Whiskering detail adds visual bulk
These were cute from the side but the whiskering detail from the front made my stomach look much more round and prominent than it is

Cute print, boxy shape
I loved the cheetah but the fit was too boxy for my taste, and you have to button it all the way up the neck so the collar doesn't cover the cheetah.

Very pretty blouse
This blouse is cool for hot summer days and elevates a simple pair of shorts or pants. I had to wear an undershirt but it could work with a very neutral tshirt bra

Cute!
This was a comfy dress with a pretty color. Cotton skirt was a bit stiff and thick, but meant it was not transparent. The scoop back does require a creative bra solution, I just safety pinned a normal bra so it stayed low enough not to show. Some reviews said they wore to weddings but this felt a bit to casual for that kind of event. I did wear with a jean jacket to work at a casual job.

Odd but comfy
Second layer of the skirt was a little small to wrap around the waist fully to get the complete look, which created a weird curtain effect. Fabric was super soft and comfortable though

Fit issues
This dress is so beautiful but the sizing just didn't work for me. The large was too small in the bust and the XL was huge in the sleeves. Recommend ordering your Normal size and planning on wearing a camisole or creatively pinning the top wrap bit.

Beautiful fabric, itchy neck
I loved this blazer but found the shoulders to be very tight and the neck lining stops short of the spot where it rubs your neck. I didn't wind up wearing it.

Too long and large
I needed to size down and have a petite option for these. The fabric and cut seemed nice but I was swimming in them and couldn't wear.

Unflattering
The dress fit lumpy around the middle and hung straight and awkward around the legs with no draping or movement. The knit is stretchy and comfortable but it doesn't look good.

Cute spring sweater but too itchy
Wore only once. Even with an undershirt the collar was scratching my neck and I couldn't wait to take it off.

Power vibes without the shoulder pads
Fit well except in the bust when buttoned but that's par for the course for busty gals like me. I was surprised I liked the check pattern in person, felt 80s/early 80s but in a good way. Wish the blazer were lined.

Just fine
Heavy material made it difficult to keep up on my waist when walking and the bulky knit was uncomfortable for a long day sitting at my desk as it pressed into the back of my thighs. As with all sweater skirts and dresses it showed my tummy lumps a little more than I'd like. Hard to style a top and it's a very dark navy not quite black

Cute but didn't wear
I liked it but did not wind up wearing it because it was too long in the leg and I needed help zipping it up and down so I couldn't have gone to the bathroom without a buddy. Would have been perfect if the zip was on the side and I'd ordered a petite

Very long
Very long and a bit bulky. I also had the buttons slip open a few times because they are covered in the same material as the dress. Luckily it was something I only wore at home because I couldn't walk far without tripping up. Otherwise fun print and decent weight for seasonal transition.

Very flattering
The cut of the dress and the angled ribbing was very flattering. It was not too warm. I loved the color too and styled it with black tights and knee high riding boots. Good for work as long as you wear black or nude underthings, there are small holes in the skirt so it will show if you wear bright colored underthings.

Gorgeous
I felt so glamorous and comfortable in this dress and got several compliments, even in Vegas which is full of sequins! I sized up a bit according to other reviews and it was still just a tiny bit tight across the shoulders. I did wear shapewear to smooth out the tummy. I couldn't get the clasps at the wrist closed and needed a bit of help with the back zipper, but the lining kept it from being scratchy.

Wanted to love but couldn't find a fit
This is cute but the sizing is tough. I went a size up and a regular and it was still too short and too tight in the waist

Boob tape couldn't save me
I loved this so much! So 70s, I felt like a member of ABBA on a "casual" nonsparkly jumpsuit day. But sadly I only tried it on and couldn't wear it out. I needed one size up, but didn't even try to swap due to the low cut front; the girls were spilling out so bad even boob tape couldn't wrangle them. And the way the back is cut, a bandeau top wouldn't work for me either. I couldn't get in and out without help with the zipper, though I saw one review that recommended attaching a gold chain necklace to the zipper pull so she could get it off, which is pure genius.

Wookiee skirt
Waist was really tight for a large and not super flattering. I liked the matching sweater much more; although it seemed like the skirt was fuzzier which threw the matchy feel off. Plus when worn together with fuzz from collar to ankle, my partner said I was giving Chewbacca
