The sizing on this is WAY off in the size guide. I was sinning in my usual size (I'm an 8/10 which according to the size guide would be an XL). I switched it for the L and it was still baggy. But once it fits I think it would've gorgeous

Gorgeous dress
This dress is so flattering, largely in part due to the built in corseting on the bodice and the thick and stretchy material. I wore this to a spring wedding in New Orleans and got tons of compliments. It's super form fitting so be aware of that but highly recommend for a fun pop of color!

REALLY long and see through
I rented these slacks for a trip to New Orleans for a breathable but still put together option. Unfortunately, I won’t be wearing them for a few reasons. The fabric is textured, which was hard to notice from the pictures, and has a stitching that looks almost like tiny polka dots throughout, and I didn’t love how that looked. I am 5’4” and 165lbs and wear a 10/12 M/L and I ordered the 12, which was slightly large and could be worn at the waist or hips. That said, either way, the legs were SO long on me that even with 2 inch platform wedges, there was so much fabric left over that I looked ridiculous and wouldn’t have been able to actually walk without tripping. Final strike against these slacks is you could see my black thong straight through the fabric. I didn’t bother switching out for a nude pair and trying based on the other two things but I’m sure you’d still be able to see them.

Insanely oversized
I ordered a size too big knowing all the reviews said it ran large but wow it was truly like a sack on me. For leggings and lounging it wouldn't be so bad in the right size but it looked like I was wearing a robe or sleep sack or something

Unique shape
This is a lovely quality sweater. The red is vibrant and the fabric is sturdy and comfortable. I only wore this for half a day because I ultimately decided that it just wasn't flattering. The sleeves are super puffy but then taper at the wrists and the body of the sweater does the same. I'm curvy and so it made my hips almost look wider than my shoulders which they aren't. If you have more of an athletic build this could be complementary!

weird lining
the lining on this kept flipping up on the skirt so it looked really bad. it also sat at a weird spot, it is kind of low waisted so I struggled to find a good top to wear with it.

Runs huge & weird
This is a nice jacket but I sized down (size 10/12, normally a L) and it was still massive. The white boucle is cute at first but then I started to realize I looked like I was weariing a bathrobe. I wore it a bunch cus I brought it on a trip but I wished I had a different jacket by the end of it.

Too big
This fit really strange on me, it was way too big and gaping on the bandeau and the bodice but given how structured it was I wasn’t sure how the size smaller would fit/if it would be comfortable. I guess I’d have to try my true size and see

Gorgeous & comfortable
I’m obsessed with this top and if it wasn’t $300 would absolutely buy it. I will say I feel like it errs on the side of being slightly large and as someone with D cups and between a 10/12 I wish I’d sized down so I felt slightly more supported in the chest area. Super comfortable and high quality!

Amazing rental
Loved this dress and got tons of compliments on it. I’m 5’4” and generally a true size 12 so it fit perfectly. I’m a 36 DD and there was enough support in the bodice to wear this bra less. The straps are not adjustable but for me that wasn’t a problem. It fell a little longer than a midi cus of my height but it worked out with platform heels. The slip is actually short like mini length but it added a cool dimension to the semi-opaque tulle. Highly recommend!

Good but not great
I love the style of this sweater. The cut was flattering and easy to throw on with jeans and look put together. I didn’t like how structured and bulky it was. I truly felt weighed down by the sweater by the end of a long day and was relieved to take it off. I also bought a dupe from Target in their Prince collab and found that to be much more comfortable, albeit obviously lower quality. Before I wore this sweater for a full day, and after I’d tried it on quickly, I considered buying it. Very glad I didn’t!

Overly oversized
I bought this on a clearance sale from RTR after eyeing it for months but it being out of stock. The only size left was XL and even tho I knew L would be the right size given reviews, I took a chance because of the insanely low cost (94% off retail). For reference, I’m 5’4” and fluctuate between a 10/12/14 or L/XL in most brands. Well, it is WAY too big lol a friend worded it as “it doesn’t look oversized, it looks like the wrong size” and another said I looked like a little kid in her grandpa’s jacket. But another friend had the excellent idea to get it tailored to fit perfectly and the cost will still make this jacket a steal price wise. So I’m happy because everything else about it is great! Worth noting, there are no closures at all (buttons, zips, belts). I don’t want that for this look but just FYI.

This dress was great for a fall wedding. It fit in all the right places and was very flattering overall. The straps were adjustable which meant you could control how revealing it was. Highly recommend renting and it can be dressed up or down!

I loved this dress. I wore it to a casual rooftop welcome drinks for my friend's wedding in Panama (the country, not Florida). I was hesitant to rent Lilly Pullitzer cus its not normally my vibe but this print was so unique and fun. Highly recommend.

I didn't get a chance to wear this on my recent vacation but was obsessed. A really cute statement piece. I just packed wrong and didn't have anything to pair it with but with cute jeans and a good top or a LBD, would be perfect for a dinner or night out. great quality and oversized fit!

my bride friends loved this!
I absent-mindedly rented this for a 10 day trip that included one friend's bachelorette party in Palm Springs & another friend's wedding in Austin. I realized when I got there that it was more suited to the brides, so offered it to both of them to borrow during the trips. They were obsessed! The bag is surprisingly well structured and sturdy. It can fit a ton (wallet, max iPhone, keys, makeup, water bottle, etc) and is so cute in pictures. highly recommend!

Bridal shower hit!
Adore this Ulla Johnson dress. I got so many compliments at my friend's bridal shower. The quality is a great breathable but light fabric and you can tell it was well made. My only reason for knocking a star is that it was a little bit tight and difficult to get on/off. This is prob just a personal problem but normally I'm a true 12!

Wine tasting bachelorette
This dress was amazing! Great design, fit like a glove and was adjustable in the straps and the front tie so it could fit more supportive or go for a looser fit. Also sooo comfortable for wine tasting in Napa in 90 degree weather for my friend's bachelorette. I highly considered buying it but given the loud print decided against it. An amazing rental tho!!

def runs small
I'm normally an L, sometimes an XL (10-12) and this was like a corset on me. Also the straps were weirdly long. I could have pulled it off of the straps were so awkward but I genuinely don't know what body type that would work on. Super cute design tho! Wish it has worked

I'm a true 12, sometimes 10 and this could barely get over my head and was super unflattering! Maybe for less curvy people it would work better!

cute but not the best fit
This pattern is nice and the fabric is soft. It fit everywhere but around my hips - it was too small there. I was looking for a kind of flowy vibe so that was disappointing. Other than that, really cute and can be worn tucked in

For a more mature audience
I rented this dress as an option for my cousins wedding. In the pictures I thought it would be a classy cut with a fun print. When it came, I realized how much it aged me. I would say this is not a young dress.

The dress was beautiful, so flattering! I had to secure it at the bust because I'm a 36D and I wanted to look classy but other than that, zero complaints. Would totally rent again!
