short and tight
i have several pair of citizens jeans in a size 28 that fit so i thought a 29 would be fine. i was wrong. they are tiiiiight. I could shimmy them on and they accentuated my little bump, which i loved. but they were so incredibly short. so short. even if i sized up again, they would be too short. and the shortness of the pants is enhanced by how tight they are. not a good look

YOU CANNOT WEAR SPANX
I repeat, you cannot wear spanx with these. I did not know this. and the lining of this dress kept getting caught on my spanx ALL NIGHT and it kept pushing my dress open. it was horrible. i have never experienced anything like that. i spent all night trying to hold the corner of my dress while i walked around. its a very cute dress though and i received a lot of compliments. but i HAD to wear a tank top under it. the way this dress is designed, there is no amount of tape or pins that could hold the breasts together. if you want to show your cleavage (and maybe other things), this is the dress for you.

Perfect for professional event
i wore this jacket to an event at a professional conference. i almost did not pack it because i did not think it was flattering (even sized down) and it was really difficult to button and unbutton. but i had no other options and i am so glad because i received compliments all night. but the broach-button literally drew blood from my finger one time so be careful.

comfortable for airport travel
wore for a work trip that had me in airports for 5 hours and then 7 working hours. This jacket kept me warm without discomfort. It was a little large but was fine. it was a cute jacket that was a nice change but nothing to write home about.

CUTE DRESS, hair up
I wore this dress to a friend's wedding who asked for 'festive' attire and it was a huge hit! I was able to dance all night and did not have to worry about adjusting my dress or feeling uncomfortable. it was flattering but i do wish i had a skinny black belt to put with it. I could not wear my hair down because it kept getting caught in the sequins, which was fine, I am just telling you before you spent hours curling your hair, like i did.

cute top, waaay too big
the material is nice and it is a nice color and a great length. but the top was very large and was difficult for me to style. the material was too thick to tuck but it was too loose to not tuck. i tried to wear it with leggings but it kept slipping off my shoulders. it was very disappointing because it really is a cute top. size down, maybe 2 sizes.
