Great for holidays but just OK
Very warm. Great classic look. Loved the olive green for the holidays but probably won't rent it again.

Super stylish
I'm 5'2" and this came to the tops of my ankles - yikes! It was way too big on me but I loved the color, fabric, and details. A very cozy, high quality coat. Since the sleeves were too long I flipped them inside out to shorten them. The dark tan shearling line was so pretty! The hood was excellent for the winter weather. Got tons of compliments on it even though I was literally swimming in it. May try to rent again and order the next size down.

Get a pulled together look with this sweater jacket
This was too big on me but maybe that's the style. Not sized for petites but styled it with work trousers and jeans. The color is more of a bright blue navy with cherry burgundy trim. It's a versatile, high quality piece. Great for cold weather days and more casual offices or looks. Won't rent it again but could be great on someone who is taller.

Full midi skirt that's beautiful
Like other renters said this is bigger in the waist so I went down a size and renter a 4. The length on my 5'2" frame was just right with ankle boots and even my knee high boots. Wore it several times for holiday parties and church. Each time I got compliments! The vegan leather or fabric pooched out below my waist which I was self conscious of but others thought it was pretty! That's what I love about RTR--the chance to try new styles and be surprised.

On trend but construction wasn’t quite right
Good quality but the seam on the inside of the vest where the lining was stitched could be seen when I buttoned with a camisole underneath. Wanted to wear it with a camisole for work but couldn’t. It would be super cute (but a little showy) without something else under it. Wanted to love this but it just wasn’t quite right for me.

This style is not for me - couldn’t wear them
Thought I’d try the oversized menswear look with these pants. The waist is small while the hips and back of the pants balloon out. While I have a shape that generally makes that work, these are cut especially large through the hips and backside. And the waist was a bit large so I hiked up the pants above the high waist area so the crotch finally wasn’t baggy. That made that area of the pants look a bit better but the backside was still baggy. Worst of all these are so long that even a 4” heel would work with these pants. I ordered the small but can’t see in the pants themselves if that’s the size that shipped. Wasted a spot in my rental subscription but I guess I know for sure that this cut of pants is not for petites who have an hour glass shape.

Pretty but Not My Style
This is a nice take on a word tone staple - a white dress shirt or blouse. Wanted to love it because of the details but it was too boxy and very sheer. The sleeves have no structure so they just kinda hung there with the fabric pieces of the shoulder flapping about. I think it could be cute on someone else or with a different outfit, maybe. Just not for me.

Gorgeous pop of color in a beautiful style
Almost bought this beautiful bag but I’m not sure I’d use the color as often as I’d like for the cost. Even considered buying in a different color since this is functional and has gorgeous lines. It’s well made with pockets and just the right amount of space. This arrived in beautiful condition — new with tags. Rent this — you’ll be glad you did!

High quality professional looking pants that work for petites
These are made of high quality suiting material that make for a polished office look. It could be very warm (sweaty) during really hot weather. The color is a true navy that’s versatile and provides a good neutral base. Regarding the fit, I think a smaller size would look better because the waist and hips were a bit big. Not sure if that’s because this brand runs on the large side or if I’m actually making progress at the gym. They worked for what I needed and I’d order again in a smaller size. If you need high quality, basic suit pants these are for you!

Beautiful blazer!
I love the details and quality of Veronica Beard during and this was no exception. Received many compliments. This brand requires me to size up which I don’t mind if I know that sizing is different then my regular fit or size. Would buy this piece except it’s outta my budget thus my love of the RTR subscription.

Got a ton of compliments on this when I wore it for work. It’s linen yet lined and structured enough that it still looked very professional and polished. Would love to own this piece but I’m not sure how much longer the oversized blazer look will be a trend.

Great fit, quality and print for fundraiser.
This totally fit the bill for a persimmon and purple themed luncheon fundraiser. The fit was good and I received several compliments. The fabric surprised me a bit because it was more of a linen blend than what appears in the photos online. Still cute just not as polished as I had hoped because no matter how much I ironed it wrinkled pretty easily. But the ruching helped to hide the wrinkles.

Ordered my usual size - WAY to big
Love the idea of these pants and knew they’d be long on my 5’2” frame. But the waist was WAY too large in my usual size 6. Hiked them up way above a normal high waist and cinched them with a belt. That made everything below the belt look puffy and flowy. The size may be way off but I don’t think these are made for short people!

High-waisted Classy Suit Pants
These are well made with high quality fabric that has a little bit of stretch to it without losing its structure. They’re a straighter leg that hit the top of my foot, which worked well for my shorter height. The waist was smaller than most of the pants I wear to work but that’s because I usually wear pants with a shorter rise. These fit well all over with a nice silhouette that wasn’t too tight. I received many compliments on them when I wore the matching suit jacket. The color is unique without being to garish.

Trendy Take on Classic White Pants
I subscribe to RTR because I can try designers and styles hat are outside my usual wardrobe. It stretches me outside my typical pieces for work so this was a great rental in that regard. The high waist on these pants is trendy and fun but I’m short-waisted as it is! These pants weren’t made for me in that respect. The wide leg and heavier fabric were nice. But the length could be an issue for those taller than 5’2” like me as these pants barely came to my ankle. The fabric has some give to it so after a couple times wearing these they felt too large in the hips and waist. That also made them super comfortable for a day of travel that I wore them for. They’d be great for vacation or someone who wants a trendier look.

Great Color but Too Big
It’s such a cute dress in the pictures of the model online. And the color is super pretty. Though I ordered my regular size it was too big all over especially the top likely because the back is open. Only wore it once and wouldn’t rent it again. Maybe this looks better on taller more slender bodies. I’m short and have an hourglass shape. The length was great for me though as it just hit my knees. Maybe if I ordered a smaller size?!? Just didn’t like it enough to try it again. Plus it wrinkles pretty easily. Just not my jam.

High quality piece with pop
This Furla bag did not disappoint! The leather and finishes are high quality. Drawstrings at the sides make it a versatile piece with a true red lending some extra pop. It's a bit too big for every day use and a tiny bit too small for work. Still I made it work and fit my 15" laptop, wallet, sunglasses case, full size note pad with files and a few other small items in it. There's one compartment with a zipper pocket inside so it was hard to find things at time. Kept this rental an extra month!

Mad for Plaid and these Pants
Love the plaid even though I didn't realize there's lavender in it. Other reviewers were right about sizing. I normally wear a size 4 but wasn't sure because of my short, hourglass stature. These pants are high waisted and fit like a glove in the waist, hips and thighs. Of course, they were long on me, hitting the top of my foot but looked great anyway. I wore them with and without the matching blazer and various shoes. They're a very versatile pair of pants and I got a ton of compliments.

Sophisticated, On-trend, Well Made Suit Jacket
I received tons of compliments and felt confident wearing this jacket. This longer length suit jacket was perfect for work and church even though I generally wear petites. With a full bust and narrow waist I'm always a bit worried about being able to button suit jackets. This fit beautifully though slightly long (as usual for me) sleeves, which were a bit snug through the bicep. Glad I sized up for my large bust. Would love to but this but it's outside my budget. Rent this - you'll love it to.

Fantastic LBD with a Twist
Rented this for a major work party and wanted something on the conservative side but not too boring. This was perfect! As a petite hour glass shaped woman I like dresses like this. Sizing is true to size. I sized up because I didn't want the dress to be too tight. That was a mistake. Should've ordered the 6 like I usually wear. The overall length was great but the sleeves were too long. So I just tucked them under. Wore a normal bra with one strap down since my bust is large and it worked well.

Beautiful yet fun and flirty
Loved loved loved this dress for a work party. I was also able to wear it to work for client meetings with a black blazer. It was was perfect for colder weather with tights and tall boots. The material was somewhat stretchy and the structure of the dress worked well with my hourglass shape and larger bust. Nearly purchased the dress but some of the ruffles on my rental were coming unstitched since the material is somewhat fragile yet sooooo beautiful! Rent this. You won't be disappointed.

Amazing color. Great cut. Quality fabric and finishing.
Loved this so much and got many compliments to the point where I purchased this to wear to work. For more conservative clients/events a blazer worked well with this. I'm in love with the way it hugged all the right places without being too provocative.

Great quality and print -- not great for petites
Pants are always tricky for my height and shape. Decided on renting a size six because I thought these were a skinny cut pant. But these were baggy in the waist, inseam and hips. The length wasn't bad for my 5'2" height. But certainly not the cropped style someone taller would be able to wear. I knew that would likely be the case and wasn't worried about it. But the bagginess and extra stretch in the material made for a bad fit. Liked the print and cut enough to try a smaller size maybe this fall as the brown and black plaid print had more of a fall/winter vibe.

Rented this after reading a review about the color and lace. Loved wearing this for a graduation and got a bunch of compliments. Bought it because it's easy to wear, looks great on my short, hour glass frame and was so easy to wear. On the fence? I'd highly recommend you rent it too.

Well made, unique yet classy dress - compliments galore!
Loved this dress! It arrived NWT! This dress is unique yet classic which is why I rented it. The color is one of my favorites and paired well with a basic black blazer when I had more formal client meetings. In terms of fit, I was surprised that it was too big for me in the waist and hips. The top fit fairly well as I'm full busted wearing a size 34DDD with an hour glass shape. At 5'2" it's tricky to find pants that aren't too long so I love trying new dresses like this one from RTR. I considered buying this dress but since it was baggy in the waist and hips, I'm thinking about trying a small if I rent it again. On the fence about this dress -- rent it. You'll get lots of compliments like I did.

All around great dress with pockets
Super cute and comfortable dress that's work apporpriate. It's well made with good fabric. The pockets were fabulous. Fit is true to size which was a relief since I wasn't sure the bust would fit since I wear a 34DD. The fit was slightly snug in the bust and waist perfect in the hips on my hoir glass shape.

Couldn't wear this lovely dress because of my bust
Love the look of this dress online and was really excited to wear it for work. Once it arrived I was excited because the fabric was high quality and wrinkle-free. However, the dress was way too small in the bust. The waist and hips were a great fit. I suppose the piece would've worked if I had worn a cami or body suit on underneath but that defeated the sleek look of this dress. I wear a 34DD bra and wouldn't recommend this dress for those of us with larger busts.

Super comfortable pants for work!
Rented these as part of my RTR Update membership when another pair of pants became unavailable. These pants are work appropriate for my conservative dress code and very comfortable. It's about 22 degrees Fahrenheit today and they've kept me toasty warm with heavy material and lining. My hourglass shape means I need something relaxed through the hip--the medium was loose. The waist is usually big on me and that was the case with this pant. However, the elastic waistband helped a bit. At 5'2" the Regular length looked like a normal length pant even with boots on. So if you want the cropped look, don't rent them if you're short. The only drawback is the pilling that's starting to occur at the crotch due to the type of material. But it's not very noticeable on this pair - maybe they're newer. Hope this helps!

I loved the color and style of this jacket. The medium was too big. Or maybe it was never intended for a 5'2" petite person. It worked well for my meetings but i dont think I'd rent this piece again.

Sexy yet classy for a work party
I love RTR because I can try fashion I wouldnt necessarily gravitate toward if I was to make a purchase. This top is a perfect example of that. I got a lot of compliments on the top, which I paired with dark red velvet pants by Kut. Normally I wouldn't wear a flowy top like this because of my petite frame and large chest - I didnt want to look like I was wearing a tent! But this top was just the right amount of fun while still being classy.

Little Black Dress with a bit of flare
Very comfortable. Received lots of compliments. Liked the length but I'm 5'2" and thought if I were any taller I'd feel uncomfortable due to my company's dress code - I work in a conservative industry. I followed the advice of other reviewers and ordered a size larger than a normally wear. The size 6 fit but wasn't as flattering as the size 8. The sleeves on the size 6 were very tight - maybe Cross Fit is actually giving me more muscle there.

Just the right amount of bling
I wouldn't normally wear earrings with this much bling but these were the perfect complement to the necklace I had already found. I wore them both with a simple strapless wedding gown. It was just the right amount of sparkle. And these earrings were just the right length - just long enough to be seen with my long hair.
