This is absurdly small.
Honestly, don’t even try it—it’s not sized right by at least 2 sizes, but who knows.

Crochet Cassie Coverup Dress
Ramy Brook
Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 1"
Weight: 127lbs
Bust: 36C
Rhinestone blazer
Didn't love this and didn't end up wearing it. The rhinestones are a little more glitzy than they appeared online, and they are gold. I couldn't find anything to wear this to/with.

Black Studded Blazer
Badgley Mischka
Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 1"
Weight: 130lbs
Bust: 36C
Not flattering
Didn't wear. The cleavage was too much for the event I was planning to wear it to. I also didn't find the dress to be flattering. It was tight up top and across the back and poufy in the bottom. Pass.

Red Floral Mini Dress
Self-Portrait
Size Worn: 12
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 1"
Weight: 130lbs
Bust: 36C
Huge sleeves
I'm so torn on this dress. I liked the print, the fit through the middle, but the sleeves were kind of a mess for me. I know they are supposed to be puffy, but it was out of control. I ended up tamping down the puffiness by tucking them into the bottom part of the sleeves and then cuffing them. That's why they don't look as out of control in the picture. But throughout the night the sleeves moved and the puffiness was exposed. I ended up wearing a jacket to cover them and feel more comfortable. The sleeves just felt very Queen Elizabethian...too much for me! Maybe a more daring dresser wouldn't mind, but I'm still working on being more bold. :)

Tabby Dress
Rebecca Minkoff
Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 6

Drop waist = lose hips
This was such an unflattering fit, I actually laughed when I looked in the mirror. I liked the floral print and the neckline, but it totally didn't work on me. This might be a better fit for a taller woman with longer legs and a short torso.

Black Poppy Dress

Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 1"
Weight: 130lbs
Bust: 36C
Nice pop of color
I was all in on the hot pink collar. It added a fun pop of color to my outfit and pushed me out of my comfort zone. The fit was great, even though I'm short and usually have trouble with sleeve length. I suspect a taller person with a longer wing span might find the sleeves a bit short.

Allegra Coat
Rebecca Minkoff
Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 1"
Weight: 130lbs
Bust: 36C
Very cool & versatile
This jacket fits well, as it has stretch fabric on the underside of the sleeves. The draping in the front makes it very flattering and cool. My only complaint is that the jacket has clearly been well-loved and is very worn. But I might buy it as a staple if the price drops a little lower.

Max Classic Bubble Leather Jacket

So cute!
This bag is so fun and cute! It made me happy every time I looked down at it. :)

Heart It Sam Bag

Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 1"
Bust: 36C
Weird fit
I liked this dress for the most part, but it was kind of a weird fit. I couldn't tell if I didn't fill out the bust enough, if it was too big in the waist, not the right length for my torso...or just oddly constructed. The upper middle of the dress poufed out a little and made it look like I had an oddly placed "spare tire." Wearing a jacket with it seemed to minimize this, but as you can see in the picture, the awkward baggy pouf thing was still there. Great print and length, though.

Long Sleeve Leopard Dress
Rebecca Taylor NYC
Size Worn: 6
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 1"
Weight: 127lbs
Bust: 36C
Meh
The shirt is a nice color, and the fabric and construction are high quality, but it runs small and is almost a crop top--even on my 5'1"-ish frame, so it wasn't very comfortable for me.

Barnsley Top
LIKELY
Size Worn: S
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 1"
Bust: 36C
Fun statement piece
I was so excited to rent this jacket because it's so unique and fun. But I think it's more edgy than I am for now, so I couldn't find enough pieces of my own to wear it with. I will probably rent it again if this service turns me into a more daring/exciting dresser. ;) If I do rent again, I will size-up, as the small is a bit too cropped for my liking.

Sky Rose Faux Fur Jacket
Samantha Sipos
Size Worn: S
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 1"
Weight: 127lbs
Bust: 36C
Pattern is weird in person
This didn't do it for me. The pattern looks weird in person and doesn't seem particularly hip or trendy. I'm not sure what this look is trying to be. I don't understand why there's such a long zipper, & the jacket was too cropped for my liking.

Printed Satin Bomber Jacket

Never thought I'd love a jumpsuit!
As a curvy short woman, I was not optimistic about wearing a jumpsuit, but figured if it didn't work out it'd be a short commitment. But I was happily surprised because I actually loved it and the pant legs were almost perfect. This is truly a staple piece that can be dressed down or up. For the occasion I wore it to, I decided to go full 80's and chose gold accents and no belt. It was comfortable and I know I'll wear it again and again, so I bought it. :) I will probably have it tailored just slightly for the best fit.

Black Gemma Jumpsuit
Amanda Uprichard
Size Worn: MR
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 1"
Bust: 36C
Not right for everyday wear
This dress is really cute and feels well made, but the front was a little too revealing in the cleavage area for my comfort for everyday wear, and I didn't want to wear a tank top under it because it doesn't seem like the right type of dress for an undershirt. But it's otherwise a nice fit. In the summer or early fall, I'd consider renting again for a special occasion or event.

Loved the fit after sizing up
I initially rented this in a medium and didn't wear it because it was tight and unflattering across my back. After going up a size, the fit was perfect and I loved it the top.
