Very nice. A more muted brown than shown. Fit: The size 6 almost worked for me, but was a tad small n the top and a bit wide in the bottom. I could get away with wearing it, but at this price I didn't want the top part looking a tad awkward. I'm a 32DD with broad shoulders (maybe a size 8). I'm a size 2-4 on the bottom, slim hips and no butt. If you're a better balanced 6 on top and bottom, it would fit you well and look great. Nice and long to cover your butt! Seemed well constructed. I didn't think it looked as good open (unbuttoned) but I think that of most double breasted jackets.
Perfect fit, very comfortable, stylish, close fitting tailored look. Color is deepest gray/blue.
I like Theory styles, but I returned these pants. The material isn't what I expected -- it's quite thin and no doubt won't hold up like you'd expect a good denim to, for example. The fit is pretty slim. I assumed "raven" color would be black, and they look it in the photo. But these weren't. Next to my other black clothes, the color is a shade of deep, deep green.

This is a great dress. It's very fitted, but the fabric is thick enough that you don't see every little thing. It's a pretty purple color too.
Versatile black dress! I noticed some Theory dresses are not true to size. I am normally size 2 and sometimes I have to get size 0. If you have small frame, Size 2 still felt too loose. Try to size down one size for a better fit. One thing that bothers me about this dress is the pleats from the bottom back of the dress. I do not like the fact that while sitting most of the time, the pleats will wrinkle easily.

I was very surprised and disappointed that this jacket arrived folded in a plastic bag like a cheap tablecloth from Wal-Mart. It was so wrinkled and creased that when I put it on, one side hung higher than the other side. How much trouble would it have been to pack it more carefully? I don't pay this kind of money to have to send a garment to the dry cleaner. It is being returned tomorrow morning.
I had such high hopes for this sweater because I love turtleneck sweaters, especially black. Never mind that I already own three others. However, I felt compelled to write this review because the fabric is so thin. I am not familiar with this brand, but the retail price for this sweater is outrageous for its quality. The model must be wearing black undergarments in the photo.
This is beautifully tailored, the charcoal is dark with a lovely subtle brushed surface that is perfect in every way except that I am just bigger in the bust than looks right in this coat. A winner for up to a B cup. The lining fabric is top grade.
This is a great shirt; I have it in two other colors; navy and moss (olive green), but the problem with this one is that it is so sheer that the pockets show through just as they do on the model. Even though I got it at a decent price I will be returning it.
Great lightweight fabric with nice stretch. Fits well. Great summer t-shirt!
This dress is beautiful. The silk is very lovely, colors of blue will go with black or grey, and the style is very versatile. It fit consistently with as other Theory dresses in the same size. I'm a bit too tall for the dress, so unfortunately I can't keep it, but it is really pretty and will go with blazers, sweaters, for work or for cocktail parties.
Perhaps I did not look carefully enough at the photo, but I did not expect this to be, literally, a T-shirt dress. It has a nice lining and I liked the belt, also very comfortable and pretty color. The size fit consistently with most other Theory tops and dresses. While it's very cute, for my budget the price is too high for a T-shirt dress and I'll be returning it. I gave three stars because of the high price.
I ordered this in a small (I'm 5'6" and weigh 115lbs). It was huge overall, was way too large in the body and was made of cheap fabric. This item is overpriced, but honestly, if someone gave it to me for free, I wouldn't wear it. Sorry to be so negative, but this is one sorry piece of clothing and I do think most people will be sending it back if they take the chance and order it.
These pants are completely over-priced. The fabric is very thin and of poor quality.
I love this sweater! I'm sure I will get so much use out of it through summer. You get what you pay for - a bit pricey - but so worth it! Beautiful!
Nicely tailored trench. I would have kept it, but I returned it because the coat does not have lining.
