comfy but way oversized
I ordered the L because M wasn't available but I really wanted them. And I have really muscular legs so I was thinking it might be nice to have extra room... but L was WAY too big. Like had to roll them to get them to stay on my waist and they are super duper long (and I'm 5'8"!). They also are pretty loud, as someone else mentioned.

Madewell continues to be my #1
Super soft and fit perfectly through my athletic legs. Madewell continues to be my #1 jean for my shape/size. Every time I wore them, someone off the street complimented me. Couldn't bear to send these back.

not right for my body
The color of this dress is gorgeous. I felt very pretty in it, like a goddess, but I don't think it was flattering/attractive. Perhaps it was too big to start with? My husband said it looked like I was wearing a potato sack. So it came off as a bit matronly. It just didn't highlight my body in an attractive way at this time in my life. It would be very forgiving and a good match if I was wanting to downplay my body's silhouette, or wanting to dress more conservatively.

Feel like home
I need these to stay on my body forever... They feel like home. Which is saying A LOT because I am really muscular in a crossfit/body building kind of way; with my legs being substantially more muscular and having more girth than most women. For example, my waist is a 6, but my legs comfortably fit in 10s or 12s. So jeans off the rack are usually quite impossible for me. Normally, I have to size up and then get the waist darted. But not these. They fit me perfectly as they are.

elegant but fit not right for me
I am usually an 8 in these dresses (but it wasn't available). The 10 may have been a true 10, but was a little big and even if had fit a bit better, I'm not sure I like where the waist line hits on me. It hit truly at my waist and I am more of an empire waist line or high waist kind of gal. My hubby really like the halter cut and racer back on me though.

it completes the look
This slips on like my husbands suit coat so is super comfy. It may be a TAD on the large size, but I like it that way. The color is just stunning. Pairing it with a dress on the opposite end of the color wheel (teal) to keep warm for a winter wedding. But look forward to also wearing it with jeans!

Feminine and Fun
Gorgeous on and off. My back is my best feature, so happy to show it off. I am really muscular (in a Crossfit/body building kind of way), so although the 8 fits great everywhere else, it IS a little tight in the shoulders and a bit short on my arms (does not comfortably reach my wrists). Length is perfect for me at 5'8" for either flats or a heel. It was hard to get on, and even harder to get off (again perhaps related to my shoulder and back muscles? I definitely needed a hand maiden (my 12 year old) to help me get it off! I could comfortably go without bra, but will probably get stick on cups for a little boost. Super excited to wear this to my spunky little sister's wedding ;-)
