Like Wearing Wax
I was long anticipating these and ordered them in a 24 and a 25 because reviews were not helpful enough for sizing. Definitely don't order up because these jeans stretch within minutes of wearing them. I'm 5'1 and about 96 pounds and the 24 fit well. ..except that these pants feel like you're wearing wax, 98% cotton is incredibly misleading. Even though they are low rise I felt they were still too high and gave my butt that terrible 80's long leotard look (and I do Have a butt, don't let my weight mislead you). They awkwardly crinkled on the lower leg and overall weren't terrible looking but were definitely not worth keeping given then price. I was really disappointed because everyone has always spoken so highly of these jeans. For the life of me, I cannot figure out why the material feels as it does, it's mind baffling. Save your money and buy something else. I'm returning these as soon as USPS opens back up after Christmas!

Unique but Subtle
I bought this dress as a transition piece between work and special occasions. It is my first DVF so I wasn't sure how it would fit. I'm 5'1 and about 100 pounds and it seems to be slightly big on the top with the draping, but after getting used to it I think that's just the way it's supposed to fit (I ordered a 0). I ended up having to pin it so it wouldn't be too open on the top for work. The rest of the dress fits perfectly and hits right above the knee as shown on the model. The material is absolutely beautiful and nice and thick for the winter (it's definitely a seasonal item). It is NOT overly shiny, a lot of people voiced this concern when I was ordering it, but in person it is subtle, not metallic looking and it's incredibly classy. The satin bow is beautiful too. At first I was going to return the dress but after sleeping on it I've decided to keep it. It's a head turner and I'm proud to start off my DVF collection with this one!

Great Boots for Slimmer Legs/Petites
I'm about 5'1 and weigh 100 pounds with a petite but still athletic physique and these boots fit around my calves just well enough that they are not tight but still not too loose (which is very hard for me to find in a boot). The suede is very good quality and the color is a pure black, much more vibrant than I have noticed from a lot of other boots. Like other people I also agree that the ability to control the slouchiness is great, for my height I can wear them just above the knee but I can also scrunch them down. They are a tad tricky to walk around in at first but you definitely get the hang of it. I agree the fit is a little different than most boots but I did not find it as awkward at all as another reviewer. The size was also perfect, I have never been higher than a size 7 and I am glad I stuck with my size. The only downside is the side profile of these boots, its a little weird looking but not enough for me to care b/c everything else about them is awesome!
