Snug trouser silhouette
These were snug on me, but fit to size. That said, I have narrow hips. They are also long- I am 5’10” and they were only a smidge short. The cut was nice enough I felt OK wearing them to work.

Cute, but not for a hot day
I like to wear long sleeved loose tops in the summer. But this one was super hot! The sleeves are pretty voluminous and ended at my knuckles despite my having a pretty large wingspan.

Double handles cumbersome
I found the combination of short-long handles too busy, esp because the short handles did not want to stay put. Very bright pink, good quality leather.

Christmas Day
Totally bought this one. It's adorable! It's fairly cropped though, so it needs super high-waisted pants or a long cami underneath.

Flattering and flowy, a rare combination
I rent a lot of long sleeved blouses. This one stood out because of its side zippers at the rib cage... that made it quite flattering! However the material is getting a little worn. The neckline is a rather deep V -- had I worn it to work I would have put a cami underneath..

Cheerful and compliments!
I kept this one for awhile and wore it numerous times. Loved it!! The pattern and colors are amazing. This skirt is stretchy (with a pattern) so it naturally looked better when I was leaner than when I was more curvy.

Off-white and slightly sheer, otherwise nice blouse
Beautiful blouse but more ivory than I had expected. Did not wear.

Gorgeous black and gold material, with a cool collar.
This runs slightly small. The material does not have a lot of stretch. The arms are long, just as pictured on the model. For tall girls, it is fairly short -- 4 or 5 inches above the knee. But so pretty! And very demure up top.

Adorable print
This is a really sweet top with lovely fabric and an adorable print. Had the sleeves not been too short for my (very long) arms, I probably would have bought it.

Tons of décolleté surface area
This is a really cute jumpsuit but ultimately for me it showed too much skin. The difference between the 6R and the 8R was more space in the waist and bum area, but the waist wasn't any longer. I'm 5'10" and the length was "flats-only" on me.

It's pretty blousy so plenty of room in the bust.

Flirty!
I wear a 6/8 and ordered the 8. I needed the 8 in the waist (I don't have much of one) but it was roomy in the bust and bum. I had to safety pin the top so it didn't gap. Probably would fit better for someone a bit more hourglass than I am. The material is very lightweight - perfect for a hot summer night! - and not stretchy. I must say, a 70+ year old retired fashion designer with green eyeshadow came up to me and said she wanted to be my friend because she loved my outfit. That doesn't happen every day!

Beautiful, feminine silk blouse!
I ordered a size 8 to account for my broad shoulders, and I ended up with lots of extra room in the bust (I wear 34C). The neckline goes pretty low, and a cami was needed if I didn't want my bra peeping out. Despite the oversized blouson effect, the neckline, wonderful material, and flounce below the elastic waist made this blouse feminine and appealing. I felt both sexy and comfortable! Also, this blouse goes almost anywhere. Next time I would probably order a size down.

Stretchy, unlined dress! Otherwise, elegant.
This is an unlined, stretchy dress, with all the accompanying pros and cons. It's a great dress for a tall person. At 5'9", the hem was at my knees. I also have long arms and the sleeves were pretty perfect. The skirt was less becoming on me though, more clingy than I like.

Really cute for every day!
The horizontal stripes make it not totally flattering, but the sheer black panel breaks up the effect and up the appeal factor. I enjoyed this sweater a lot when I was off-duty! Perfect for weekend with jeans and boots, or even a more casual workday.

Not for tall girls.
This dress was much smaller than expected. I'm short-waisted, but the waist hit me around my rib cage -- too high. The length was mid-thigh (I'm 5'9") as opposed to the knee length shown on the model. The material is thin and crinkly and not very special. But if you are a small person living in a warmer climate, I think it might be cute and comfortable.

Really cute and comfy.
After wearing this two weekend days in a row and realizing I had nothing similar in my closet, I bought it. It is a big more swingy in the bottom than it appears in the photo, which adds a little bulk, but the fabric is relatively thin (and there are two cute pockets), making it a winner.

Cute, but not my style.
This dress will look like it does in the photo only if you wear the shoulders low and pull the skirt all the way down. Because the fabric is so stretchy, however, the hem rides up and gets shorter. The dress is unlined. The material is sort of thick, but not enough to smooth out any bulges.

Loved it!
This is a really soft leather with splatter paint on it. It is more delicate than I expected. It can hold a notebook and lots of things, but it probably shouldn't. I carried it the first time to an art opening and it was totally perfect. It's nice and slouchy. Casual yet luxe.
