Loved the idea
I wanted to be able to rock maternity overalls. Totally wore them and felt cute when I left the house. By mid afternoon ended up feeling silly. Don't think I'm cool enough for maternity overalls

Size Worn: 2R
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 11"
Weight: 155lbs
Bust: 36C
Not made for tall ladies
Such a cute idea, but definitely made for someone short. 5'10" and this barely covered my rear.

If animal and camo had a baby
Liked this but didn't love. I'm 5'9" and felt it was pretty long. Fit is generous. I'm 4.5 months pregnant and had plenty of space.
Animal Print Midi Dress
Victor Alfaro x RTR
Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 11"

Bust: 36C
Cute but too summery
Rented thinking this would be a great option for layering with jeans and booties. Felt it was way too light and gauzy for November. Much better for summer
Dorian Stripe Top

Probably better for an event
Very overwhelming on and I'm tall. Probably better for a special event.

Not flattering full leg pant
I wanted to love these, but they just didn't work for me. I'm normally an 8, but ordered these in a 12R based on being a UK brand. Material is lovely, a nice cotton voile and full lined. Finishing on the pant is well done. The inverted pleats just added too much volume for my taste. I felt like they made me look extremely bottom heavy and wide. I think would work best on someone who is tall and doesn't carry much weight in their hips/rear.
Printed Cotton Culottes

Perfect summer dress
Literally the perfect everyday summer dress. Cute with white sneakers, with a wedge or with flat sandals. Print is pretty and wait if the fabric was nice.... linen like blend.
Inez Dress

Beautiful dress, chest is a weird fit
I wanted to love, but basically felt like it was made for someone with a tiny waist and huge boobs. Looked dorky with a cami later under. Opted to just return.
Ruffle Wrap Dress
Fame & Partners
Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 11"
Weight: 155lbs
Bust: 36C
Beautiful print
Absolutely beautiful print. This works best with a top tucked in. The waist has no give, so suggest ordering up a size if you're not sure.
High Waisted Maxi Skirt

Size Worn: 6R

Love love love
Effortless wrap dress in a great spring transition print. An easy no brainer for when you're not sure what else to wear
Jasmine Wrap Dress

Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 11"
Weight: 155lbs

Not nice at all
Fit on this one was huge and short. I looked like I was wearing a rectangle! The quality was not very nice either. Seams were puckering and overall whole thing just felt cheap.
Regina Blazer

Loved the idea. Fit wasn't quite right.
Loved the idea and styling of this piece, but found it much too tight in the hips to wear the way it's styled. I'm normally a size small or medium on tops and would have needed a large or extra large to get the slouchy fit Phn
Navy Dash Sweater
Wish
Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 6

Body conscious, but in a good way
Nice midi length sweater dress. Is a tiny bit itchy because of the yarn blend. Not sure if this would work well on shorter ladies, but is great for tall women
Rib Flounce Dress
Theory
Size Worn: MR
Usual Size: 6

Loved the first time I rented. Not as much the second time
The first time I rented this I was in love. The weight of the fabric was beautiful and it felt like it hugged you in. The second time not so much. The fabric is way over worn and all the recovery of the fabric was gone. Over dry cleaned I would say. Definitely time to retire this one.
Space Dye Knit Dress
Proenza Schouler
Size Worn: LR
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 11"
Weight: 155lbs
Bust: 36C
Stunning statement dress
Absolutely beautiful dress. Show stopping design details with unexpected print mixing. Would have to say that this is probably best for tall ladies since the length is definitely a midi length. Wore with tights and black ankle booties.
Camille Wrap Front Dress
DELFI Collective
Size Worn: SR

Pretty bohemian vibe
Very pretty and eye catching dress. Think it might be a better fit if you have a larger chest (34c here). I'm 6ft tall and dress is definitely long at points. Looked best with heels for sure.
Mexicali Rose Maxi

Just a LOVE!
Such a beautiful dress. The colors and print are just the right amount of vibrant. Second time I've rented. One of my favorites. Highly recommend. I'm 5 11" and a size 6/8 and have rented both the 4L and the 8L, both fit. The length was the perfect length for flats.
Melody Maxi
Lilly Pulitzer
Size Worn: 4L
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 11"
Weight: 155lbs
Bust: 36C
Beautiful print and color, size down.
I run in between a small and a medium in (36c) and found that the chest on this was big. I ended up layering a bralet under so that the armholes were not so low and open. Print is beautiful and it's a super easy shape.
Terracotta Blaine Maxi
Waverly Grey
Size Worn: MR
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 11"
Weight: 155lbs
Bust: 36C
Stunning print
Absolutely beautiful print. Received so many compliments on the dress. If you're on the talk side, the regular length could be a bit short. I would have loved another 2" in length. Highly recommend renting.
Peony Print Maxi

Cute and feminine dress
Beautiful print and pretty silhouette. Very feminine and flattering shape. Quality is a bit cheap and didn't love that they underside of the fabric was bright white. Made the ruffles on the skirt look a little cheap. Don't think anyone else noticed, received lots of compliments during the day.

Super slimming and figure flattering
Love, love, love this dress. Top of the body is in matte jersey while the skirt is silk and cut on the bias. For tall women, the length is great. Made me feel very long and lean. Paired this with tights and ankle booties for a sleek look. I did feel this ran small. I'm normally a 4-6 in most dresses, but have noticed in DVF wrap dresses that I need to size up.
Casimir Dot Wrap Dress

Size Worn: 10R
Usual Size: 8

Form fitting and flattering
Beautiful weight sweater dress. Pattern provides some nice visual interest. Fit is close to the body for the top and then skirt flares away. Beware that the open pointelle pattern at the bottom of the dress is pretty high up if you're tall. With tights it's ok, but don't think I would feel comfortable wearing with bare legs
Landale Knit Dress

Great novelty print
I sized up based on some of the reviews. Even going by up a few sizes, the drape of the wrap was still skimpy, so I layered a tank underneath. I wish that the skirt of the dress was in the same Jersey fabric as the bodice. The skirt part felt a bit thin and unforgiving and so I payed a slip under it!

Beautiful Print
Print is beautiful and great back to black pants. I wore for work, but could imagine dressing it up too. Easy fit.

Love love love!!
Super stylish and sassy black pant. I felt like a boss all day in these. Received lots of compliments on the pants. It's hard to see in the photos, but the cuff, belt and then a tuxedo stripe on the side are all in black satin. Great design detail. Fit is try to size and the length worked well for someone tall.

Slimming smocked waist
Great easy piece. You definitely need to layer a tank under it as the silk is on the sheer side. I found the smocking to be really slimming. I liked the bell sleeve detail, but will say the arms were a bit long. I'm 5' 11" and the sleeves were long ok me. Overall loved the dress

Really wanted to love...
I love a good blazer and was excited to get this one in my shipment. It fit well across the shoulder and the arms, but the body was pretty big. Since the fabric is stiff, it didn't really collapse, so it made it really unflattering.

Beautiful color, fit not 100%
Absolutely beautiful color, but the overall cut was not totally flattering. I ended up having to pin the chest to keep from showing too much for work. The waist hits a little high, so I felt like I was in a bit of a maternity dress. Very pretty hem detail.

Loved!!
Wore this to an afternoon wedding with metallic heels. Versatile dress that would look great for work or dresses up. Fit is an easy shift dress, so if you want something fitted, this is not the dress. Easy high low gem gives it an extra detail. For tall women, this one works - not too short!

Not the best for Tall ladies
Great print and nice weight fabric, but if you're on the tall side, it's super short. I wanted something that I could pair with a few high waisted skirts and still wear to work.

Classic chic
Felt like a million bucks in this one! Had a meeting with clients and wanted chic but under stated. This really is a LBD that you could wear anywhere. I wasn't sure if I was going to like the collar but I really ended up loving detail.

Beautiful color and fabric, but runs big
I loved the idea of this dress. Unfortunately, the fit was too big on me and I think it's a dress that would look best fitted. The side ruffle is a little strange since it's more a high slit with an extra flap of fabric. For a tall woman, it felt like it might be too revealing for work. Fine when you're standing still, but not if the wind blew!

Pop of color
Great structured fabric with nice drape. Silhouette is nice for when you want something away from the body. Sleeve detail was really fun. Runs true to size

Fun pop of color!
Love the material on theses pants and now at going to check out other Tibi pants. I have fuller hips and a narrow waist, so I would say they do run true to size. However, if you carry more weight in your midsection, you may want to size up. They are fun and dramatic pants to make an otherwise boring Wednesday more interesting! Also loved that the side seam pockets stayed nice and flat all day thanks to a hidden side zip.

really pretty, but I didn't end up wearing.
These are really pretty in person, but they were much bigger than I expected and just ended up looking like I was trying to hard with the dress I selected. I would say that with a simple dress with clean lines, these would be really pretty. Definitely statement earrings.

I so wanted this to work...
I was so excited about this one and really really wanted this to work. I read all the reviews that other tall girls had posted and no one mentioned problem. If you are tall of have a long torso, this is not the style for you. I couldn't even get my shoulders in before I was having major issues in the front... you know what I mean? I would say that if you're 5'8" or shorter, you're golden. I'm giving it two stars because I loved the style - just wouldn't fit.

Adorable black lace dress - could be great for any occasion!
Overall, I loved this dress. The lace is a really pretty pattern is a nice quality. The lining is soft and comfortable. Important to note that this lace does not have any stretch in it. I tend to carry my weight in my hips and butt, and was totally comfortable in the 8, but probably could have worn a 10 as well. All the other reviews said that this ran big, but I didn't find that. It's a more straight fitting sheath though, so don't expect a nipped in waist. I added my own skinny belt to give the waist a little more shape. The other thing that I would add is that for someone on the tall side (5'11") the dress was short. Once I put tights on, I felt great, but before I felt a little bit naked. Overall, loved the dress!
