Comfy but Thin
Great soft material, but VERY thin. As in, your bra will clearly show under this if you don't pair it with an undershirt of some description. That said, the sleeves are pleasant and the neckline flattering.
Overpriced for what it is.

Sleek and Stylin'
These are great leggings. Fit very well, accentuate my curves nicely, provide leg cover, and don't weigh me down. The sensation created by the bands of different fabric stitched together is a bit odd, but I got used to it in no time, once I'd slipped myself into this slinky garment. Love the look this creates-- modern goth chic.

Nice, if a tad misleading
Lovely detail on the sleeves (which are VERY long, and may get in the way, at times) and on the hem. The material is nice and soft, if a tad thin-- on the revealing side.
Be warned: this cannot be used as a dress, however short you like it. I'm 5'6" and this cuts me roughly 3/4 of the way down my backside, so cannot even (imho) be worn over leggings. No the impression I got from the site before purchasing.

Good look, Decent fit
These feel quite nice and look good on--received compliments the first time I wore them. However, the waist is too large, so I often find myself tugging the leggings back up, or trying to minimize the drooping effect by tucking an undershirt down in there to create grip, which is a tad annoying. Might take these in at the waist and see whether this eliminates the issue.
In addition, the metal bits sometimes cause snags. Otherwise, though, pretty good.

Style and Substance in One
This skirt is fab! The material across both overlapping layers is sturdy, and heavy enough to eliminate the fear that a sudden gust of wind will betray the wearer's modesty. As a bonus, the skirt is long enough not to break the conservative dress code at my work, so I can happily pair this with opaque tights or leggings at the office, which is nice.
I did stitch a pocket into the side seam of the skirt, as I personally prefer an outfit with at least one place to house my lip balm, but in a skirt with this much going on (design-wise), I wouldn't have necessarily expected a factory-provided pocket, so haven't marked this item down because of the lack.

Pros and Cons
This is a good top but limited in wear-ability. In the right setting (and if you have no body issues-- it accentuates all curves everywhere it touches) the top's flattering, gorgeously textured, and sexy. However, it can feel a little restrictive, and the top bit (side sleeves) is weird-- seems like it's always trying to either creep up or creep down whenever I move... which is why I hardly ever wear this shirt, even though I like it. And am a big fan of Edgar Allan Poe.

Nifty Sleeve Effect
Love the way this top looks and feels. Very flattering, and not so revealing that your conservative colleagues complain. The sleeve detail is a real eye-catcher, I've found.
What could be improved on is the fabric, which, while it drapes nicely, is rather heavy. I get the slightest bit warm and the heat gets trapped by the fibers and makes me warmer, and the cycle continues. Another effect of this phenomenon is that the material gets slacker when not cool... odd goings on, I know. Maybe this isn't everyone's experience, though.

Great Piece
Does what it sets out to, though I have to agree that the hood is pretty useless. However, I bought this intending to use it over other things (sleeveless tops, dresses, etc.) and like the way the hood looks down; completes the look. This is a very practical cardi in my everyday wardrobe, and especially for covering up the shoulders while at work.

Versatile Asset to the Wardrobe
Wonderful in its wear-ability, this bolero can be paired up with anything sleeveless. Lightweight, comfortable, and stylish, this has become an essential item in my wardrobe. Good price, too!

Super Soft Goth Cuteness
This top is smooth, super soft to the touch, and a big crowd-pleaser. The wide sleeves don't get in my way, and the fabric has a heavy quality that feels luscious. Not a good idea in warm weather (or a heated office, if you run hot, like I do), but it's earned me compliments from young and old.
