These are lovely- they stay up very well, are very elegant, and quite sheer. They are thin and rip quite easily. Not on the first wear necessarily, but soon enough for it to be disappointing, especially considering the price of them.

I followed the advice of the other reviewers- I'm usually a size 28 or 29 depending on the brand; I went with a 28, and they fit perfectly on the first try. I imagine they might even get a little looser given they everyone says they stretch a little. The rise is a little lower than most of my other jeans, but still comfortable. I'm also super excited that I don't have to hem these for once (I'm 5'9"). The coloring is nice and the denim is a thick, quality denim. The only thing is I think the flare looks slightly bigger in person- a little bigger than typical bootcut, but it doesn't look bad. Overall I think these were a good investment and I am excited for these!

I love these earrings- you can wear them with anything. They are a cute, understated accessory that just makes you feel happy!

Overall I like this top- it definitely does cling to your curves, which could be a good thing or a bad thing depending on your body type. The fabric is nice- people say that its thick and heavy but I find it to be of normal thickness and stretchy; however any bra lines will show through for sure. I like the length, which it a little longer than a normal tube top and it'll keep a streamlined effect. I will be keeping the top, but overall I don't think that it's so amazing that it warrants that price tag...

Definitely size up in these. I did, and I feel like they are cut a little weird so that they still don't look great. Even though the coverage is full, I they just cut me off oddly. Quality seems good and the pattern is nice, though.

On sale, these are a bargain! They are comfortable and slim fitting while being flattering and of good quality. I am normally right between a 28-29 in most other jeans; I ordered the 29 in these and they fit very well. I probably could have fit in a 28, but the rise is a little higher than other jeans and I wouldn't want them to fit too snugly around my stomach. I am 5'9 and the length is perfect. The only thing is the coloring is a little darker than in the picture. In a sense that is good, because they are a little more subdued and can match more things, in my opinion. But if you are looking for a blue that really pops, these are not the jeans.

This is my third Mara Hoffman bathing suit, and I really do love her. I got this in the peacock color, which is little more of a darker, richer blue in person, and is gorgeous. I have a 34D chest and am more curvy, usually wearing a size 6 or 28/29, and I got this in the L. I think it fits very well- I probably could have gotten away with the M, but I strived to be a little more modest with a brand that is notorious for running small. The fit is comfortable and offers just enough coverage for me to not feel overly exposed.

I was very excited for these boots, and really wanted them to work, but unfortunately it didn't happen. Firstly, I received the boots with a defect (the bottom strap near the ankle was ripped), but I'll take that as a freak occurrence, as I rarely have problems with Frye or Shopbop in that respect. The bigger issue was that when I went to put the boots on, I couldn't get my foot past the heal ankle and into the foot of the boot. The calves did feel more tight than other boots, but this wasn't so much an issue for me. I usually wear a 10, but as Frye's run big I ordered a 9.5. Once I was able to get my foot into the foot of the boot the fit was good (not too small), but it was really getting my foot through that tight angle that was the issue. I don't know if anyone else will find this a problem, but this was my issue rather than the tight calves or actual size. In the end I had to return due to the combination of the task of putting them on and the defect. What a shame!

I had ordered this in the blush color, and did think it was a gorgeous color. However, the dress didn't fit well on me and was nothing special. Even though other reviewers didn't seem to have this problem, my 34C/D chest did not fit well in the top. It was either too low or I did not fit above the seam sewn into the dress. I also thought the middle piece should have been longer; it ended right in the middle of my stomach, and I thought it looked weird to have the skirt start so high. These issues aside, even if the dress did fit a little better in these places, I don't think it was really anything special. I had purchased it in mind to wear to weddings, but I don't even think it would have been elegant enough to do so. Back it went!

I am very happy with this purchase (especially now that it's on sale) and with Patterson J Kincaid in general. As other reviewers mentioned, the color is a little more vibrant in person. I am not finding that it is cheaply constructed- the overlay is sheer, as obviously meant to be, and the underlying slip is light and semi-sheer, but not so that you can see anything underneath (it's the same as other Patterson Kincaid dresses). I would definitely size down one as it is a bigger dress. As others mentioned, it does have an untailored look without the belt, but I think that would be obvious from the picture. The belt pulls it all together and returns it to feminine and flattering. Also, the hemline is a little shorter in the front than in the back, which I think it a cute detail. One caution, however, I am 5"9 and if I were one inch taller the underlying slip would not have covered my rear end enough for me to be comfortable (the overlay is much longer).
