Breezy, unique, and comfy, but not a good fit.
I wore this on the day I got my RTR shipment (doing random errands on a hot ass day) and am so glad I didn't wear it out wine tasting as I'd originally intended! While I love the dress--it felt like wearing an avante garde sari--with my small boobs and short frame, it just didn't fit right. Even with a pin placed at the front, the girls were threatening exposure and the left strap was slipping off of me, I could see this totally working for taller women and/or those with busts that could fill it out. It was also a little too long even with 2 inch heels.

Versatile and perfect for work and life!
I got this to wear to work, but ended up wearing it for a date and then for a day out and about paired with jeans. I'm milking this rental! Love how comfy it is, the vintage-looking pattern, and the feeling of being both feminine and badass. If it weren't $200 to buy, I'd make it a permanent part of my wardrobe!

Cute shirt, not made for petite folks.
This top has so much going for it: dreamy colors, breathable linen-y fabric, easy loose cut. I just felt like I was six inches too short for the shirt. If I were taller or the shirt shorter (or if I were more slender while short?) it would've been magic. I felt just fine wearing it today, and even looked at what it'd cost to buy, but also know I've worn more flattering things in my life and will return after one wear from my Unlimited.

Couldn't fit over my booty :(
This dress is gorgeous in print and cut, and apparently it's no match for my butt, even in a medium. I couldn't wear it, unfortunately!

Jungle Shade Tegan Dress

Bridal shower winner fits me like a glove!
This number fit me so well! Totally suggest this for someone who wants to accentuate the curves while also not feeling like too much vavoom. I felt yummy, and also not in a too young way. Good thick fabric that maintains its structure and doesn't allow for lumps and bumps to show. It also wasn't as conservative as I was worried about!

Blue Multi Striped Dress

Casual bridal shower choice just didn't do it for my short self!
I'm short and plump with a small chest, and I found that the length and cut of this dress didn't quite work for me. With my shape, I have to be extra careful about anything making me any more stumpy!

Cobalt Wrap It Up Dress
Slate & Willow
Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 0"
Weight: 145lbs

Verdict: I am too old for this dress!
Pros: super playful dress, flattering for curvy girls, shows off shoulders. I liked the fit and the fun pattern and cut, but ended up deciding it's just too young-looking for me at almost 40.

Pineapple Halter Dress
Draper James
Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 0"
Weight: 145lbs
Bust: 36B
Bridal shower option: didn't choose
This dress in a size 6 had proportions that looked sloppy on my short frame, so I didn't go with it for a bridal shower. Pros: great flowy fabric, neat pattern with more subtle colors, good for a little arm coverage if that's what someone wants, cool slit on one side. Cons: My waist wasn't accentuated well in this dress, maybe not so great for someone who's both small-chested and thick like myself.
