Super sneaky banger. I didn't expect much from this simple black top but it was sexy without looking like it was trying

I'm typically a size 2, and I could not zip this over my rib cage. I have small Bs so size up regardless of chest size

No stretch
Very cute dress while standing. Since there's no stretch it's very hard to sit down without the whole thing riding up

I did not feel comfortable wearing this out. The bottom was very tight with no give and it was very short, while the top fit nicely.

Different but work appropriate
Fits comfortably, more fitted in the chest and looser in the body. Would have been 5 stars if it was lined.

Very comfortable fit, slightly itchy if you’re sensitive to that. And very warm, almost too warm for the inside. Great for a day outside in chilly weather

The type of bag doesn't match how stiff the material is - should be slouchier. Overall hard to manage and uncomfortable to carry

Didn't hold everything like a big tote but did hold a lot. The clamp sort of crushed the top, which was strange. Mostly left it un-clasped

Standout
This purse is a standout however there’s a strange color combo going on here that makes it difficult to match to an outfit. I was thinking the pink was more white. Yellow, light pink, and a medium tan on the inside. Did best against black and white outfits.

Not for my body type
I planned on wearing these to work but they're brighter gold than I thought. They'd be perfect for a holiday party or a night out, a little much for work. However, I couldn't wear these at all because of my body type. I have a 26" waist and 37" hip (big butt lol) and while a 2 fit my waistline, it was super tight at crotch level. I was afraid to sit down and tear them.

Remarkably beautiful but doesn't hold much
It's a really beautiful piece of art to wear but it barely fits an iPhone. If you have an otterbox or other thick case, it wouldn't close. Lipsticks are also too thick. Basically can only hold cards and cash so if you're going somewhere where you won't need much and want a stunning purse to accent your outfit, this will fit the bill.

Sexy yet professional
I wore this dress to work and to a fancy dinner with the girls. It's made out of a thick stretchy material that looks expensive, although you have to wear it with a smooth thong. Any lace or texture will pop out. I'm in between a size 0 and 2 so I went with the 8 (2) but I should have gone a size up. It's very tight in the rib cage. The mesh in the back is sexy without being too revealing and can be worn with a regular nude bra, as its really hard to see it through the mesh. The mesh comes in the front below your bra and makes for a great slimming effect. Overall loved getting to wear this one.

Definitely different
I didn't know what to expect based on the picture of the ring alone. It's definitely a different piece. It's comfortable to wear and slightly malleable to conform with your fingers. Doesn't interfere with the normal movements of your hand either. I especially like that the stones are silver and the settings and band are gold so you can wear it with anything. Overall it's a very edgy yet comfortable piece.

Adjustable straps?
There are so many things I absolutely love about this bag. It's large enough to fit a large wallet and an umbrella without being a large purse. The color is a perfect metallic that works with both gold, rose gold and silver jewelry. The latch in the front is cool, the inside is a beautiful pop of purple, and the pockets are perfect. However... the chain shown in the picture as doubled up does not adjust, it doesn't double. This would be fine, except the biggest problem is there are only two small points in which the chains attach to the bag and it bears the weight, leading the front flap to pull up. So even though the bag holds a lot, too much weight makes the front flap wing out.

Instant reactions
I rarely have people notice my earrings and these got instant reactions from those wanting to see how they worked. These babies go with anything, from being downplayed against a fancy dress to making a T-shirt and jeans pop. I did have to check them during the day as they can slip off your ear, but I expected that.

Fits on my tiny wrist
I have very small wrists and never wear bangles because of it. This bracelet fits and I didn't have a problem keeping it on or in position. The rhinestones have a bit of a rainbow reflection; I would have preferred pure white. But very versatile.

Beautiful and functional
This is a great everyday purse with lots of room without being bulky. It has a pouch inside for phones, keys, etc (although too small for an iPhone 6) and a magnetic clasp. The rivets and inside is silver and the outside is a cool blue. I thought it was white when I ordered it but it's actually a very light, ice blue. Smells and feels like very expensive leather.

Beautiful but uncomfortable
I'm giving this dress a 3 but really it's a 5 for look and 2 for fit. This dress doesn't runs true to size but it also neither runs small or large; it runs both in different spots. The arms and chest are tight, the stomach is loose, and the opening at the legs is again tight. Literally there's a flap of fabric at the stomach that only lays taught when you pull it down, then appears again as the dress rides up . The fabric is incredibly unforgiving and you'll fight with it all day, but it looks beautiful on and was a classy outfit for work. You would definitely not want to wear it outside in any heat or humidity as the fabric doesn't breathe.

More conservative than you'd think
I ordered this for a work function. It's very long and not very see-through so it's much more conservative and not very sexy. Which is fine depending on the look you're going for. It's also cut rather square, so personally I wish I would have sized down a size to get a tighter fit.

Has to be styled right
This is a great jacket, albeit a bit difficult to style. The base of the jacket is larger, or boxy as I believe another reviewer said, while the shoulders and arms are tighter. The tightness of the upper body is fine because the fabric is very comfortable and has some give. The boxy bottom means it looks best with something tight at the waist and not so much with boot cut or low rise pants. It's also definitely navy. I paired with a navy tank and a bright red high-waisted skirt and nude heels and it was very professional looking while still being sexy and comfortable.

Very comfortable jacket
This is a very comfy jacket while still having great structure. I paired it with the Trina Turk Dorris skirt like another reviewer and it makes for a killer outfit. Knocked a star off because the buttons are strange at the bottom (or I'm a dum dum). Kinda had to twist it to keep the lapels from folding over.

I wore this skirt with the Rebecca Minkoff pink Becky jacket. I think it should be a requirement they come together. Made for a great networking event work outfit. You'll definitely get noticed and it's a great outfit to wear once it's that memorable.

Date night jacket, probably not for work
I was going to wear this to work, however it is much shinier and more purple than the photo. Other commenters said it was bronze. Perhaps there is variation between jackets as mine was definitely purple. It didn't really work for the office but would be great over a black dress or black leather pants for night time. The 0 was nice and tight on me (I like snug, fitted jackets as they look more feminine) and the length was a little longer than a normal jacket but nice.

Great party or day wedding dress
This is a super comfortable, flowy dress that I wore to a baby shower. With the bright colors, it's perfect for an event outside on a sunny day. It covered my regular bra completely without having to adjust. I was going to wear heels with it but it's not a full length maxi. I ended up wearing flats and it still didn't reach the ground.

Didn't want to return it!
This is one of my favorite purses. The color is bold without being obnoxious. There are tons of pockets, which I love to keep my work and personal phone and keys separate. It's also the perfect size. Big enough to hold a small umbrella but small enough to still be a shoulder bag.

Great everyday bag
The purse doesn't have a sheen like it looks in the picture. It holds its shape without being stiff and has an inside pocket. It won't grab a lot of attention but is a great purse for every day use.

Big and shiny without being obnoxiously so
I love this necklace because it's ridiculously large without being gaudy due to it being see-through. I've worn it to dress up a simple outfit, but it could easily go with a formal outfit as well.

Super cute every day purse
I wear this purse almost every day. It's a very thick plastic-y vinyl which is not only very durable but holds it's shape nicely. And it's an adorable shape. The size is also perfect for me as it's large while still fitting comfortably under my arm. I wish it had more than two pockets as I like to keep my keys and two cell phones all separated, but the two are easily accessible.

Great day wedding or beach wedding dress
This was my backup dress for a formal Easter brunch and it was perfect. It's a little loose and its flowy so it's comfortable and easy to wear. I received compliments from men and women alike. Note that it is a bit sheer so nude under garments are a must. It's also long: I'm 5'8" and I had to wear heels.

Fit was a little off for me
This dress is nice and thick, you can tell it's very well made. Personally I had a lot of extra thick fabric that gathered at the small of my back; however, the rest of the dress fit like a glove. This would be great for a cool night, and maybe a more square, straight body shape.

Bold. Simple. Great for a variety of occasions.
This piece is thinner and lighter than I expected and can really work for almost any occasion. My piece had a few little scratches but nothing noticeable.

I would order this again!
Of all the dresses I've rented, this one looked and felt the most expensive. I got it as part of my unlimited membership and will probably rent it again. Note: it does run very small in the rib cage. I normally wear a 0 and sometimes a 2. In this 2 I couldn't breathe fully. Next time I'll get a 4.

Very elegant yet understated
This is a very classy ring. Won't draw a lot of oohs and ahhs because its understated, but it's still a very cool piece. I had to move it around a bit to find a finger that it fit both in girth and between the knuckles, as it does go straight from the base to the first bend of your finger. Wouldn't recommend for someone with skinny fingers.

Quite unique!
There are a lot of moving parts to this necklace, and it doesn't really lay flat. The center of it hangs, which adds a flash of sparkle when you move. It's a very unique statement piece and with the gold chain and silver stones it goes with everything. Only knock on it is you'll end up adjusting it during the night as the pieces sometimes lay funny.
