Very long
Amazing fit in waist and hips but at 5’6” too long to wear even with 2-1/2 inch heels.

Soft cashmere but unflattering fit
Loved the soft cashmere knit but looked frumpy on—helped to iron the front panels for a sleeker fit.

Amazing quality, classic fit
Loved this little jacket over a fitted black sheath, opaque stockings and boots for work and with jeans. T-shirt and booties for fun.

Cozy warm; Many complements
Loved this. Light weight but thick and warm. Sleek look but roomy enough to wear over sweaters a suit jackets. Loved the colors. I got many complements.

Flattering fit but heavily padded shoulders
Liked this. Top quality and wonderfully flattering fit. In the end though, the big shoulder pads just weren’t my style and I didn’t wear it

Wide leg, little tailoring
Not my favorite look. Definitely fit to size in the hips with an elastic waist. But the leg was quite wide all the way through the hips and not particularly drapey plus a little short--I think they might have looked sleeker and more polished if they were longer and I could have worn them with heels.

Nicely made but definitely a preppy look
I was hoping this would be a little oversized which might give it a little edge. It ended up fitting to size which made it look a little frumpy for my taste. But it was beautifully made, and soft not scratchy so I happily wore it around the house.

Very fitted
These were super stretchy so comfortable but the fit throughout was tighter than I wanted--through the waist, hips, thighs and ankles. Just not the look I was going for. But they were made from a wonderfully thick but flexible fabric so felt really well made.

Great blazer--fresh fit, beautifully constructed
I got SOOOO much use out of this blazer--wore it to work with boucle wool skirt and tall boots, to dinner and out and about with jeans and with leather pants. Yes, it's black wool blazer, but the cut makes it fresh and special--broader shoulders, fitted waist, flared at hips...definitely not your typical dowdy black blazer. The fabric is thick but not stiff so it was comfortable as well as warm. Beautifully constructed. It's tight through the chest and rib cage and, with the broad shoulders, upsizing might not work.

AMAZING fit and drape!
I loved this dress...so tempted to buy it. It is form-fitting on top but made of a soft stretchy fabric that is very comfortable, it's thick enough to be warm in the winter, the skirt drapes beautifully...it's a tad transparent which balanced the conservative cut well (I actually wore it to church with black tights and high boots and it felt appropriate). Totally recommend.

Soft and cozy casual
Loved this fabric…super soft. Great long sleeve length. But the boxy shape and drab color made it feel most appropriate for hanging out at at home or running errands…maybe wearing it with dressy pants would have made it feel more special?

Beautifully made
This was a beautifully made piece—from the fabric to the cut to the finish. The fabric was a thick silk which would be wonderful in spring but didn’t work in the cold northern winter. Will try it again when it’s warmer out. It is very short so something to think about when styling.

Beautifully made but not sure how to wear
This was a really nicely made piece—the knit almost felt Chanel-like. But I couldn’t figure out how to wear it without looking frumpy. Tried jeans with a silk shirt and act-shirt—might have been better with dark jeans. Very short. Didn’t end up wearing this.

Soft, warm, great for polished casual look
Wore this with jeans and a white t-shirt several times. Wonderful soft thick knit…perfect for winter. The buttons gave it a polished look. Very fitted which may or may not be flattering.

A little frumpy
Rich brown color which I liked, but the leather felt slick and slick and the overall feel was frumpy—like something my grandmother would have. I didn’t use it.

Stylish fit
I really liked these. Soft and comfy but not slouchy. High fitted waistline with wide leg and sleek at the chips. The raw hem added interest. Wore these a LOT!

Awesome jeans!
Loved these. Kept them a couple months. Hit just below waist, fitted through hips with wide legs made them really flattering. Think but soft denim gave them a great drape. Can dress them up or down.

Great casual find
Loved the colors on this--light blue and brown felt fresh but not over-the-top. Warm knit--might not be wool but felt fluffy, cozy and warm. Work it with wide jeans, a white t-shirt and brown boots and thought it was perfect for Saturday errands.

Flattering wide legged jeans
These jeans have a wide leg but are fitted in the waist and butt so very flattering when worn while also being in style (my 20-something nieces even complemented me on these!). Dark denim which I also liked.

Great drape, comoftable to wear
Loved this dress. Wore to casual work office with tall black boots and a black belt and cardigan (to break up the pattern). Warm, sweater-like knit fabric was perfect for a Minnesota winter but not too heavy to be comfortable in doors. The drape was amazing--fabric flowed below my hips but fit snuggly over them to look sleek on top. Great rental.

Head-turning color, fits everything
Loved this bag. Beautiful Rich red leather that added a pop of color to black and grey outfits, and worked great mix-n-matched with jewel tones. Used it daily for work—fit a laptop, notebook, lunch and necessities. Great for business trips. Traded it in for spring as color seemed best for cooler weather.

Something a little different for the office
Wore this with black top and pants to the office for something professional that could switch things up. Nice fabric with woven zigzag pattern I couldn’t really see in the photos. Fitted style. Great fit though sleeves VMware a little short on me so I rolled them up.

Runs very small
Looking for a fresh option for the office. Barely fit into the size 2 despite this being my go-to size. Nice stretch but neck line very low and body tight—in the end didn’t think it was work appropriate.

Thick stretchy fabric feels like a dream
Loved the feel of this dress. Thick stretchy fabric felt great on. Hugged the body in a good way. Wore it with heals to spice it up. But style was so ordinary that it ended up being pretty ho-hum. Wore once.

Classic color but sloppy fit
I have other fitted clothing from mm LaLuer that work well at the office so I wanted to love this but it was large and sloppy in fit. Felt too frumpy to wear.
