Comfy but boxy
Nice option for sweltering summer days but not the most flattering silhouette even with the belt. Easy to dress up for work or play.

Tight, short and poofy
I felt like a cupcake when I tried this on. Far too tight and far too poofy of a skirt. I’m on the shorter side but the skirt still barely covered my butt

Cute for brunch or work
A little long on petite ladies - too long for a midi but too short to be a true maxi. That said, it was a nice transitional piece from winter to spring and versatile enough for brunch and work

Small and itchy
I was excited for this one but it was incredibly itchy - I could barely last a full day in it. Also a bit more cropped than I realized.

Bold and versatile
This was a fun top for winter > spring transition weather. It's very versatile as I was able to wear it out with friends and to the office. It's just a little long and wider in the chest than I expected, but I don't think that was noticeable to anyone but me.

I wore this on a few winter trips this year and it was a definite standout. Perfect for après ski or to add a kick of fun to your work wardrobe. Surprisingly warm even in the mountains. I almost bought it!

Cute but stretches easily
Received tons of compliments and it's cute for going out. However after one wear it stretched out very easily so it started to get droopy. I'd recommend sizing down overall

Like wearing a pillow
I loved this coat. It was perfect for my winter southwestern road trip whether I was riding horses in the desert or doing apres ski on the slopes. I frequently fell asleep in it during long car rides and felt like I was wearing a pillow. My only complaint is that the lining sheds A LOT and it's very noticeable if you're wearing dark clothes beneath it. If it didn't shed so much, I would have bought it.

I sizes down after reading reviews but think I could have sized down 2-3 sizes. I couldn't wear it since it looked overly bulky.

Fun vacay dress
Felt like Barbie wearing this on a seaside vacation! Fits a little tight in the bust but that’s not a dealbreaker for me. My only flag is that the zipper track jutted into my underarm which felt scratchy at times but I loved the dress otherwise.

SO FUN
Such a fun dress! Be ready for multiple compliments and comparisons the J.Lo's iconic Grammys dress. A smidge tight in the bust but it's not that noticeable given the pattern.

Cute but a little tight
The fit was a little tight around the waist and one of the straps kept falling despite multiple adjustments. The hook closure kept digging into my back so I had to undo it halfway through the night. That said, it's a very cute, fun, and flirty outfit.

Beautiful!
I decided to size up so this ran a bit large, but I covered it with a blazer so no one really noticed. The emerald color is stunning in person and I received plenty of compliments on this dress. I'd buy it if I could.

Too big, hard to zip
I ordered the two sizes I fluctuate between but the dress was still too loose. Despite this, I couldn't get the zipper to work properly on either. It kept getting stuck on itself even when no fabric or sequins were in its way. Both sizes also had a few loose threads where sequins had previously fallen off. It's a nice dress but I ultimately chose a different RTR option.

Tighter than anticipated but still comfortable enough to wear while dancing the night away.
