Boring
These were boring and definitely look more like sweatpants, I didn’t feel any motivation to wear them

Awkward proportions
This runs a little small and has awkward proportions. The top part hits at an odd part of my body and made me look like I was wearing something too short and too small

I was expecting this to be soft but it was stiff and uncomfortable. It definitely runs big and was very overwhelming on me

A perfect dress!
I really loved wearing this. It was flattering and comfortable. At 5’3” the regular length was actually perfect for a black tie event (the petite was a little awkwardly short).

Slightly weird fit
The straps were just a bit too long, if it weren’t for the very structured bodice the straps might’ve been an issue. The length was a tad too long at 5’3” but I could’ve managed. The biggest issue was that the seam on the top section hit right at my hip and created some extra width, it made for an odd shape

Awkward fit at the neck
This fit everywhere except at the neck which felt too tight. It was cute but nothing exciting. It also showed up with the last person’s body tape still stuck to the armless side

The length worked for my height but I was underwhelmed. The material didn't feel high end at all and the slit was just too high

Smaller waist but so fun!
If you’re between sizes, you’ll want to size up because the waist has no give. It is a heavy material but it’s still very summery. Im 5’3” and it’s definitely a maxi on me. I felt so fun wearing this, it’ll be hard to give it back.

Surprisingly short!
I’m short and tried the petite but they were surprisingly too short - they were too long for an ankle pant but too short for a full length pant. Otherwise they were cute, but pretty thin.

Stunning but big
I really loved this and wanted it to fit but it was far too big at the chest. It would either be slipping dangerously low or off my shoulder all night. If you have a large chest, this might be perfect for you.

Runs large
This ran large all over - it was falling off my chest, the waist hit too low, and I would’ve needed incredibly high heels to walk in it. If you’re small chested, it’s going to look really ill fitted on top

Slightly small at the ribcage, great for petites
I’m a 34B and had to size up to the 2 to zip it comfortably, otherwise the 0 would have worked. The length is great for petites, at 5’3” it landed at about my ankle so no worries about stepping on it. It’s a perfectly fine, conservative dress. I didn’t love it but it did the job and I was comfortable all night. Not a show stopper though.

Large and long but a fun fashion statement
This was floor length on me at 5’3” and it’s pretty shapeless, but it’s still a really fun and fashion forward wear. It’s sheer so I wore black tights and a black bra underneath, which was enough to hide that it’s see through. I wouldn’t rent it again but I did enjoy wearing it out for a date night.

Really cute, but runs small up top
I’m normally a 4 and found the 4 to be a little too restrictive around the chest and shoulders. Because of the style, I was able to easily wear the 6 without it looking too big and it was overall more comfortable. Great length on me at 5’3”

Beautiful dress!
This dress is so fun to wear, you’ll get tons of compliments. Definitely size down - I typically wear a 2 or a 4 and I had to wear the 0 in this. The straps can be a little long and the length is very long. I’m 5’3”, wore 4 inch heels, and was still stepping on it. Regardless, I loved wearing it and would recommend it

Not for girls with curves!
These are not for girls with any curves. I'm typically a 2-4 in pants but these were huge on my waist (25") and too tight on my hips (39") They have no stretch at all. Sent them right back. Beautiful pattern though!

Gorgeous but HUGE
I thought this would be great to jazz up a basic shirt for work but it is really big. It would be a little too eye-catching and overwhelming in an office environment. I'd definitely rent it again for a dressy event, it would be great with an LBD.

A good way to mix up a black wardrobe
The color is really great and the structured sleeves are fun and different. It doesn't feel like the most well made top I've ever rented but I enjoyed wearing it twice.

So soft and cozy!
This coat is amazing and I've kept it all winter. It's oversized and soft and feels like wearing a blanket. Because it doesn't close it's not the warmest coat around but the oversized fit allows you to wear plenty under it. The faux fur pattern on the front is interesting and different. Loved this!

Interesting print but not great
The neck was pretty itchy and the slits in the sleeve are super weird. They serve no purpose and they stop you from pushing or rolling up the sleeves at all. It was something different to wear once but I would never buy this.

So fun to wear!
I rented this for work and wore with a black turtleneck bodysuit. Even with the floral print, the black background allowed it to still be winter appropriate. It was a little long, but I am 5'3" so that's to be expected. I sized according to my waist (2) and not hips (4-6) and it fit perfectly. It felt great on and I'd definitely rent it again!

Major 80's vibes
This is VERY much an 80's style with the print and big shoulders. The wrap is not super secure so be wary of any wind or even walking. It's also very low cut.

Beautiful, but it runs large.
Loved this dress! It's comfortable and beautifully made but unfortunately the top runs really big! I'm a 32C and typically do wear a size 4, but the bodice was way too big. It was not at all wearable because it gapped open would much. Hopefully I can get a 2 because I still really want to wear it!

Size up!!
I'm a 32C and size 4 in dresses and I sized up to the size 3 in this dress. Even still it was right around the shoulders, although loose at the waist. Size and fit issues aside, it was a fun dress to wear. I got a lot of compliments and it was easy to move around in all day. Even at 5'3" I felt more comfortable with tights on since it's a bit on the shorter side. Very light and airy - definitely worth a wear!

Strange fit and not for petites
These were far less structured than I was expecting and they hung in an unflattering way. They were a little big on the waist while fitting at the hips. The length is too long for petites and hits at a weird spot.

Terrible quality!
This was such a low quality coat - I was really surprised! The fabric was thin, nothing luxurious about it, and it had a lot of pulls. Definitely doesn't look like something that costs this much. Didn't bother wearing it and sent it right back. It's an oversized fit so size down if you're between sizes.

Just fine
The skirt is thin and a little too long to be a midi skirt on someone who is 5'3". The small was a little big on my waist, for reference I go between a 4 and 6 in pants. I pinned it and wore it once, but I didn't love it.

Beautiful, but not for petites
This is a really beautiful dress but unfortunately it's not for petites. I'm 5'3" and it came to my ankles. I'm a 34C and tried on a size 2, but couldn't even zip up the top. I'm typically between a 2 and 4 but if I couldn't even zip up the 2, I'm sure I'd have limited mobility in the 4. I'd size up for the top and avoid if you're short.

I love these so much I'm tempted to buy them. They're lightweight and a great size, not too big or overwhelming. They're simple enough to go with any outfit but definitely a statement earring.

Overwhelming!
I wanted to love it. I'm normally a 4 and ordered the small. It was HUGE so I waited to order the XS and it was still so overwhelming. I'm 5'3" and it was too long and the sleeves barely stayed up on my shoulders. I sent it right back.

Not a great fit, especially for petites
I loved the pattern but it was a really awkward fit. There's a weird pleating pattern at the bust that might be good if you have a really large chest but just looked odd on me (I'm a 32C for reference). The shoulders also have some volume so when paired with the bust it made me look bulky up top. It's definitely more of a maxi length on short girls - fell a bit above the ankle at its longest point. I wanted to like it but just didn't love the fit.

Hard to wear
This was ultimately too hard to wear. You can't wear a normal bra because the back is so low. But you definitely do need to wear a bra because the arm holes are so big that you can see right into them. The low back didn't sit close to your body so you could see down it. All around weird fit..

Great for short and short torso-ed girls
I wanted to love this but the torso was too short on me, which was surprising since I am short at 5'3". The length of the legs was almost a little too short too, landing just below the knee.

This was just okay
This dress was okay. I'm always between a 2 and a 4 but the waist was still a little wide on this. The cape part at the back made me look a little wide too. It's an interesting dress and great quality but wasn't for me.
