Felt like Barbie!
Jacket was lightweight and comfy. It fit well and looked super cute with the skirt! I wore it with a turtleneck underneath and another time with a tank top. Both worked and the jacket was big enough to accommodate the lightweight sweater.

Legally Blonde vibes, wish it was better quality.
The skirt is adorable. The fit is tight. I zipped it up bunched up around my waist and then pulled it down, which did the trick. If you're at all unsure about sizing I would size up. The disappointment of what otherwise was a super cute skirt was that the lining was about an inch too long.

Wish I could have bought!
One of my favorite cardigans ever! I love the feel of the yarn and it went so well with loads of things! I genuinely didn't expect such a statement color to work with so much of my wardrobe but it did! It was ever so slightly big but I liked the over sized feel. The cabling is gorgeous. Very warm!

Loved this sweater!
I've wanted to rent this sweater for ages. It's soft and really warm, not itchy. I love the pattern. It went with more things in my closet than I expected which was great! Didn't want to send it back.

The detailing is amazing and the color is beautiful! Plus it's super soft!
I love this sweater so much! It's my favorite color (true to the model photo) and the stitch work is amazing. I have no idea how they made it! You can really see what I mean in person, photos don't do it justice. The yarn is super soft. The only thing to note is that it is quite fitted. If you're busty, I'd go up a size.

Soooo comfy and warm!
These joggers are like wearing a blanket you can walk in. They are super light weight and yet really warm. They were a life saver as our furnace broke and this kept me from freezing during the two weeks we had no heat in January. They run a little big as the waist and around the hips were a little loose, but I like that type of fit for lounge wear. If you want a snug fit, go down a size.

One of my fav sweater sets ever!!!
I love this sweater so much! I wish I could have bought! It's super warm but lightweight. It was a life-saver as our furnace broke and this kept me from freezing during the two weeks we had no heat in January. It's not at all itchy. Love!!!

I felt like a pregnancy goddess!
This dress was amazing for my maternity shoot. I ordered it last minute as the dress I'd bought didn't fit. This worked out so beautifully! It has a nice amount of stretch and felt soft. I felt beautiful and sexy in it and my husband loved it! The cut outs were something I want sure about but ended up loving. I was 7.5 months pregnant in this image.

Sooo tiny! Not for curves
The denim was super soft and I loved the puff sleeves. I was so excited to wear it and it was a great length on the torso, but the buttons didn't come close to doing up. It was cut for someone with a straight up and down and narrow figure. So sad it didn't work.

Super sad this didn't fit as the print and feel of the fabric was great. The shoulders were too tight, otherwise it fit nicely.

Weird bust and see through fabric.
I was so excited to rent this as I love Ulla Johnson but it just did not work. The bust was too big, and you couldn't make a bra work underneath as they showed The skirt fit nicely, but the volume was a lot and not flattering.

Love, love, love!
I previously rented this in a 12 and it was too tight. The 14 was perfect! I could sit and eat. The fabric is soft and comfortable. I love the way the dress accentuated my figure, especially as I was 5 months postpartum. It made me feel really good, with a bit of help from Spanx! I am puff sleeve obsessed and loved that detailing on the dress! If I could have, I would have bought it. Also, my husband loved it too!!

Cute but small and not soft.
The overall look of this sweater is very cute. I love the bubble stitches. However, the sleeves were two different sizes, so one arm was too tight all day. It's also VERY SHORT. I couldn't make it work with my highest waist jeans which are a 12" rise for reference. I had to put it over a dress to make it work. The fabric is quite rough, not soft and fluffy, which is how I like sweaters. It's not itchy, just not soft, hard to explain. Disappointed as the look of the sweater is so cute!

Super soft and comfy! Like a fashionable blanket.
I love this skirt and sweater set! The skirt was a great length and comfortable around my waist. It didn't cut in or anything. The fabric is super soft and not scratchy. Definitely going on my rent again list! For size context in this pic I was 4.5 months postpartum. Pre pregnancy I was a 12.

So soft and cozy!!! I loved how warm this was but not at all itchy. The sleeves are very long but I folded them up once and they stayed put all day. I actually wore a few times as it was so lovely.

Great for Thanksgiving!
I really liked the set but I found the jacket was not quite as flattering as the pants. It fit really well and was super warm. I didn't need to wear a coat with it which was awesome. I just felt it was a bit bulky around my waist and tummy. Love the plaid! The color is orange not red (as I had previously thought lol).

Perfect for Thanksgiving!
These pants were so comfortable! They made me feel amazing at 3 months postpartum. The plaid was super fun and it's orange not red (as I had thought lol!). They are super warm and were a perfect length on me. I really wanted to buy.

I love this jacket so much! I so wanted to buy it.
It's super warm but the wool isn't scratchy. I found it easy to pair with items in my closet and received multiple compliments. The pink color in the plaid is more of a coral. I am obsessed with the puff sleeves. I might have to rent again.

Great gift!
I bought this as a gift for my mom and she loved it! She's a 12/14 and it fit her perfectly. The polka dots are super cute whilst the cut of the jacket keeps the look formal for work.

My husband wanted to buy it!
My husband loved this so much he wanted to buy it for me! But price... lol! Will have to rent again. I wore it for a work event and church. It worked really well for both and I received compliments. Fabric is comfy and has a nice stretch to it. Loved the puff sleeves! Only con is that the belt isn't attached so it slides down all the time. Sizing: I'm 3.5 months postpartum in the photo, and a 12/14. The 12 fit nicely but it was snug. If you want a loser fit, size up.

Beautiful fabric but runs small...
I ordered this for a maternity shoot. I was on the upper end of the size range for the smaller size but the bigger size was not available. I couldn't get it over my head or hips. Even if I had not been pregnant it would not have fit me. The fabric is gorgeous! Maybe I'll try again at some point with the larger size.

Made my self-isolated birthday so much better!
Love this dress!!! I bought it in the clearance sale, to wear in Disney World, which was perfect! I got it out again for my birthday in April. It cheered me up so much wearing it. The frills are so elegant and feminine and there's just enough stretch to make it comfortable sitting down for birthday zoom parties! It also happened to match the socks my mom got me for my bday (you can see in the picture) lol! Will definitely be wearing again!

Great ruffles, runs big.
Bought this ages ago and never did a review. Oops! The material and color of this dress are great! I love the ruffle hem. When I got it, the waist was really big so it didn't do anything for my figure. However, it was perfect for my 2nd trimester of pregnancy! Highly recommend as a maternity dress or if you want something with a very loose fit.
