Margaritaville Winner!
Great, whimsical top from RA. Not sure why I got a medium (maybe that was all that was available at the time), but I would definitely rent either the small or XS next time. Loved it.

Another super fun Rachel Antonoff dress!
For my 5'1" frame it was just about 2 inches too long and looked dowdy for that reason. Otherwise, if it came in petite, it would have been awesome!

Great Jeans!
I've gained about 6 pounds in the last several months, so I've been going up in size almost 2x - and these fit. But, they did stretch out and I've reordered them in the 25's - so stay tuned. Really cute, on-trend jeans!

Just OK
Worked well with shorts and jeans but the straps kept falling off, even though you can tie them. Nice, but just sort of okay.

Garden Party Ready!
This dress is beautiful and well made. I'm 5'1" tall, so it hit me lower, mid-calf. Also, the straps were too long for me (noticeably so), so had to pin them which wasn't idea. Really hope RTR starts to think a bit more about us "vertically challenged" customers!

Nice shorts - good basic
Not super flattering on me, and at 5'1" tall, they were "just right" for a pair of slightly shorter-shorts. So taller women take that into consideration.

Had to go up 2 sizes
Now, I admit I've gained a few pounds but the first pair that arrived would not even button, so I went up TWO sizes and they fit much better. Although after wearing them a few times they did become loose. I think these would have been small even without the weight gain. Great length for petites though.

Adorable - a bit odd in the sizing
I loved this blouse - but at 5'1" sleeve length is always an issue. The cuff detail on this blouse is adorable, so I had to be creative in how to roll up the sleeves so it would still stand out. It's a large, swingy fit, but felt okay with high-waisted jeans.

Nice sweater - too long
The sweater is nice, but the only time I wore it was paired with leggings. Otherwise it hit me at an unflattering length and really wasn't "tuck-able". Could be better for taller women?

SO cute, SO warm, will rent again!!
Amazing puffer coat that actually walks its talk! This coat kept me warm and comfortable in the Boston sub-zeroes, and on my frame (5'1") actually covered a bit of my rear too. Adorable pattern and just so much fun to wear! Another Rachel Antonoff win!

Didn't wear - but will rent again, sizing down 1x
At 5'1" (barely) these will hit you just slightly below your ankle - so don't expect the cute, 60's "cigarette pant" look seen on the model - but still very well made, cute pants. Surprisingly, I could have sized down 1x, as they were a bit too big overall, even in my waist (which at my age is almost never the case).

Beautiful, quality handbag
Quality leather material and brass fixtures. Holds everything. Agree that the "tulip split" in the bottom makes it look a bit different than in the photos - but a great bag overall.

Weird fit - medium quality fabric - not a true black
I paired this top hoping to wear it with the A.L.C. Trent pant (as shown in the photo). The pants were fine, but the top is almost an off-brown color, very flimsy material and just couldn't work. I was disappointed and didn't wear either item.

Adorable - classy
A bit snug when zipping up (I thought they would be way too small) - but once everything was in they were super flattering and so smart/classy. I wore these very casually and with boots for a dressier look. My BF loved them!

Beautiful bag
Love this designer and own a few of their bags - this one was beautiful, functional. I wish the strap was a tad longer so it would more comfortably fit over the shoulder (of puffy winter jackets), but otherwise a winner!

Amazing Coat - very warm and fun, cheeky pattern!
Kept me super warm even in an east coast snow blizzard. Wish it came in a slightly longer length - it would have covered a bit more of my body (it was COLD y'all!) and still looked adorable.

Fit Like a Glove!
Gorgeous, special dress that fit my 5'1" frame perfectly for a black-tie optional holiday party. The built in shape wear was truly brilliant, and I didn't find it annoying when going to the bathroom like others have commented. I am NOT a busty woman, and the deep neckline plunge was attractive and sexy. I'm also in my 60's, so generally don't go for an exposed back style, but this also was beautiful ( no bulging or sagging visible!). It's a crochet dress so snags can happen. Rent this!!

Felt like a fairy princess!
This gorgeous dress was perfect for a late summer wedding. The straps were a bit too long, so I pinned them. Paired it with the Loeffler Randall Clover Bailey Clutch. I'm very petite and I didn't feel overwhelmed in this dress.
