Absurdly small
This is child-sized, not only too small but too short in the torso, and my torso is not long at all.

A bit of an identity crisis
This blazer doesn't quite know what it's trying to be. With a name like, "denim effect," I was expecting a more casual texture. No one is mistaking this for denim. It's just a heathered navy. Cut is oversized, and finishes are formal.

Back is way cuter than the front
Material is fine, not too itchy. As others have said, the waistband is tight and needs to be pulled up onto the ribcage to keep organs intact. This creates extra bulk below the chest which on me wasn't very flattering (may be better on someone a little bustier). The back, however, has a wide v cut which looks super cut with a strappy bra.

Beautiful fabric
Love the fabric. I'm sad that I only got to wear it once during my rental period, and I will have to rent it again once the weather gets a little warmer. Note that the armscye does sit a little low, making the placement of the poof a little awkward. It looks great as long as you are standing still.

Awkward length
Thicker than expected, true sweater weight. Length on me is between midi and maxi; I wish it had a true walking slit instead of just being a touch asymmetrical. Overall, it's fine but nothing I will be clamoring to rent again.

If only someone threw a Tiger King party...
It's a bit over the top for an ordinary night out. I can't decide if I like it out not. It's a bit like Carol Baskins and a middle school art teacher designed a dress together. Regardless, no suitable occasion emerged. It is nice quality though.

High quality, boxy fit
Love how the blue pops. Also love how warm the dress is. Cut it very boxy though, and with such a thick fabric, it ends up looking a bit shapeless. Of course, for a dress I'm wear to the office I would much rather have too boxy than the alternative :).

I like that this dress is professional enough for the office while still being warm. I dressed it down with a pair of Rothy's Chelsea boots. It's a little tight in the arms, especially the forearms but no issues once it's on.

Too big. Sizing seems off
Well made comfy pants. I am sad that they don't fit. I am normally a true 0 in Theory, but these seem to run big. I could have worn them, but the fit was just off enough to make them unflattering. I've noticed inconsistencies lately with Theory sizing: in my standard 0, pants with a low rise are painfully tight, and pants with a higher rise are too loose, like they just keep the same waist measurement s they move the waist up and down.

Ugly
Shirt is two different shades of orange, a more muted rust in the back and a lighter, more pumpkin shade in the back. If it were all the back color and a slimmer fit it would have worked, but as is, nope, did not wear.

How do I walk in this thing?
Size up. For me the S was good fit except for one important point: it's tightly fitted all the way down to the knees with no slit. So how do I walk? The rest of it looked cute even though the colors are far more orange/navy than the red/black I was expecting, but I'm not a dainty little steps kind of girl. So deal breaker for me.

Really glad I sized down
I'm normally between a 24 and a 25 depending on cut. The 24 were still too big on me. Between that and the high waist, they had a tendency to ride up.

Classic. Soft leather. Cut is kind of boxy. I ordered an XXS because XS was out along with most other leather jackets, but I expected it to be tight across the shoulders like many XS jackets tend to be on me. Surprise! I could fit a hoodie underneath it.

Fun and cute but needs more pockets
Fun purse, perfect size for going out. I just wish it had a pocket inside for cash, cards, etc. and that the zipper ran the opposite direction. It closes from the top down which means things might fall out when you start to unzip it.

Just quirky enough and deep pockets. Wish wider straps
Love the summery feel and details. I was worried there wouldn't be enough pockets, and there are only two plus the main compartment, but they are DEEP. It carries all my stuff, but I do wish the straps were a bit thicker. They are sufficient but tend to dig at the end of a long day.

Too fancy feeling for my event
Pretty silk burnout fabric the definitely feels more for evening than my daytime event. My torso is too short for any skin at the midriff to show. It ends up looking like it just has a tie at the neckline, not a bad look, but again, not casual enough for what I need. The length is too long but workable with sufficient heels.

Pretty fabric, but I can't move my arms
Love the print, but the shoulders are too small. I can't lift my arms higher my shoulders. The waist is tight too; it's empire so it sits on the rib cage, and on me it barely closes.

Bought this one
Crisp, professional look that's comfortable and easy to move in. Bonus points: it's in the brand colors for my business. It's thick enough for cooler days, but the slit keeps it from being too hot. Beware, it's clingier than it looks; check for pantylines.

Beautiful dress that doesn't fit
If the straps had just been adjustable, this would have been perfect, but they are too long, and now I am sad. I suppose I could tape them if I needed this dress for an event, but I'm only after a weekend sundress so it may not be worth the effort.

Meh
Print is nice, and I like the tassels. Armpits are kinda big. Definitely looks better on a smaller bust. For me that just meant finding a bra with zero padding. Upper chest/shoulder area is semi-shear
