Good quality, a bit prone to wrinkles
A lightweight wool, not for temperatures under 40 degrees F.

True to Theory size, but poor fabric quality
As usual, Theory runs a little small. The fabric puckered in a strange way and didn't seem like typical Theory quality.

Good quality, tight fit
Heavy, warm sweater but runs small as other reviewers have said. Tight around the biceps and butt.

Runs large, heavy fabric...
I thought this would be a lightweight dress for spring, but the fabric was surprisingly heavy. It was also much too big, though I'm not sure the small would have fit. It just seemed like there was too much draping. I didn't wear it.

Classic DVF Wrap Dress
Like most DVF wrap dresses, you'll probably need a camisole underneath to keep it work appropriate. I usually wear a 10 in DVF, and the medium was just right.

Okay blazer for spring...
The color is nice, but the knit fabric is unexpectedly heavy. Works over a shift dress in an overly air-conditioned office.

Nice statement jacket for fall
Great for work or casual. I think it looked best with jeans. The stripes/colors are more muted than they appear in the photo.

Like wearing a warm hug!
I wore this sweater multiple times during the month. Great for work, home, travel, etc. I'm usually a medium, but I sized down based on reviews. I think that made for a more polished look/fit.

It's a pink dress...that's about it
Fit was true to size, but the stitching made it look a bit cheap. I wore it under a navy blazer.

The fabric was great, but the peplum made it look dowdy. I tucked it into a navy pencil skirt.

Nothing too exciting, just a break from the usual black work tote. Not quite big enough for a full size laptop. Leather showed scratches quite easily.

Classy maxi dress with just a hint of skin.
Fit was true to size, but not sure I'd recommend for someone shorter than my height (5'6"). I wore it with 3 inch wedges and it was just off the floor.

Sized right for an everyday bag. The chain allows the bag to be worn as a shoulder bag or a crossbody.

More fashion forward, less "work looking."
I ended up wearing this blazer more with jeans than for work. The fabric is more of a shiny synthetic than I expected. Still a great blazer, just not what I was expecting.

I wore this sweater all through the holidays. Fit was a little big on me, but that allowed me to wear it over long-sleeve tops.

I really wanted to like this top, but the armholes were strangely placed. It just never felt comfortable. Not for those with broader shoulders.

Not the typical black bag
A good bag for work, fits a smaller laptop and the necessities. Cross body strap is a nice touch. No zipper at the top, so not ideal for airplane travel.

Classy and comfortable!
I wore this dress for an evening wedding in the fall. The fabric feels almost like a bathing suit and allows you to adjust the fit and look to your liking. I could have worn the Sze 44, but the 46 had just a little more give to make it comfortable.

The classic DVF wrap dress never disappoints. Definitely size up if you are top heavy like me, especially if you plan to wear it to work. I always wear them with a camisole underneath.

Beautiful fabric and fit!
I wore this dress for my engagement party and absolutely loved it! For this rental, the 4 was not available, but the 6 fit just fine. The only issue was a few small pulls and one small hole in the silk, but that's unavoidable with fabric this delicate. Thanks to the draping and color, they were not noticeable.
