Very cute!
I read the other reviews saying it was very unflattering but was still determined to try it as part of my unlimited. I actually think the peplum hits me at a perfect spot on my short torso and I didn't think it added a bad amount of extra volume, so it's probably more ideal for petites. I do agree that the sleeves are very short, about half an inch shorter than I'd like for a jacket. on a person of average height / arm length they would be more like a bracelet sleeve - not ideal for cold weather.

Didn't wear
This dress is not flattering on petites! I am 5'1 and the hem in the front hit my knees, with the back of the dress hitting my calves, two unflattering areas for a dress to fall on someone who is short. Other than the length, the fit ran TTS and the dress has no stretch.

Runs large
Rented this for a Christmas party. The dress was gorgeous and photographed well, but I knocked off a star because it ran quite large and I had constantly adjust it all night. I took off another star because the stitching on the hem was strange and it did not lay flat. It kept bunching up and looked like a bubble hem. FYI must go braless, even my nubra showed on the side, so make sure your event is sideboob friendly.

Weird fit
The sleeve cuffs don't have any buttons or elastic around the wrist which I found VERY odd and difficult to get on. You have to have really skinny narrow hands to get them through the cuffs! Once it's on its okay but a little too voluminous for my petite frame. I did not realize the sleeves were open which adds to the volume of the top.

Is this supposed to be a crop sweater?
I am petite and on top of that still have a shorter torso, and this sweater was still way too short for me! I don't know if it's meant to be cropped or if it shrank from dry cleaning, but it barely came down past the top of my jeans. Sleeves are very cute but a little long. Didn't wear it

Huge, and not a single pocket!
I love this bag because it's big enough to fit everything but the straps are nice and thick so it doesn't hurt your shoulder even when carrying a laptop. The reason I gave it 3 stars is because it doesn't have a single pocket inside! Not even a side pocket for your phone or chapstick, nothing! I'm still using it but kind of annoying having to dig around for small items.

Great transitional look
This dress is great. I wore it to a day time party. The floral is perfect for spring and the material is thick enough for when it doesn't quite feel like spring yet! I gave it 4 stars because the top ran really large in the bust and I couldn't fill it out. The material has some stretch so if you are in doubt and you are smaller on top - size down!

Wore this dress for my engagement!
I liked this dress. The eyelet back is adorable and made it a little more daytime appropriate despite the full skirt and dressy material of the rest of it. It was way too long though - it came below my knees!! I wore high heels which helped, but I probably could have sized down. I wouldn't say it ran big exactly, but I think for people who are in between a size, get the smaller size. I would have preferred a shorter length and a bit more fitted in the waist.

Very simple but comfortable
I originally rented this as part of my unlimited for an event, but my shipment didn't come in time so I wore it to work. I loved it! Being short it came just above my knees - much longer than shown on the model (work appropriate!) It is very fitted which I liked. I wore it with tights and did not have any issues with imperfections despite the jersey material. The color is more purple in person than red.

Not petite friendly!
I was very excited for this top as it looks so cute on the model - but it was not the same in person. First, it is a TRUE wrap top - meaning the tie waist is the only way this top stays closed. It doesn't have a clip, snap, or button to keep the neckline closed or control the cleavage. A safety pin would not have helped either, because it ran small in the shoulders which caused it to pull the neckline open even more. I think for someone with a longer torso (or just taller in general) the neckline might not gape open as much. The silk material has no stretch and probably would work better for someone with narrow shoulders & thin arms - not me unfortunately as I found it very restricting in the arm movement.

Very comfortable!
I really liked this dress. It's a thick, stretchy, almost sweater-y like material which was very comfortable for early spring. It did run a little long on my petite frame - the skirt came to my knees, but with high heels it still looked fine. I think it can be worn both ways - low cut scoop either in the front or back, but I quite liked it in the back. It hit just above my bra strap so I was able to wear a standard bra.

Too small
The dress does run a little small in the bottom half, and the top probably would have fit perfect. I couldn't wear this dress because it was far too tight around the hips. The material is stiff and has no stretch or give, which is why I could not get the skirt around my hips. Probably better for a more straight & narrow type body.

Not my favorite
I knew I was taking a risk renting a dress that had no reviews, but I ordered my usual 2 and 4. I wore the 4 but it was very uncomfortable. The neckline was very tight and came up so high that leaning over it felt like the dress was choking me. The hips were snug in a good way but the waist was loose, so the dress made me look wider than I am around the middle. Maybe it's better meant for straight and narrow body types.

Perfect solution for those black tie optional weddings!
This dress is TIGHT. I'm typically between a 2 or 4, and 2 wasn't available for my date but I read other reviews that it ran small so I went with the 4 and 6. I had to wear the 6 because the 4 was so tight I couldn't zip it up while wearing a bra. I deducted a star because it was too long and doesn't come in petite sizes, but other than that the dress was AMAZING. So simple but interesting and unique. PS- I suggest wearing a backless bra instead of standard strapless as I found that the back of the dress creeps down especially when you sit, so I wore a sticky bra and had no bra-peeking issues!

Lots of compliments
Rented this as a "backup" style for a weekend where I had 2 weddings. It fit great even though I am short it hit just below the knee as a cute midi style. The one shoulder did somewhat hinder arm movement though but it didn't bother me at all. Fit true to size

Loved loved loved this ring. It's easily adjustable, so interesting and something different! Wore it alone on my left hand. Don't suggest wearing it on your right hand as it's super painful when shaking someone's hand!

Simple and understated but interesting details
The dress was beautiful and fit great. I'm usually between a 2-4, but I read reviews that it ran small. I could have worn either the 4 or 6 but I preferred the snug fit of the 4 to balance out the volume of the ruffles. But I do have to admit, this was not quite my favorite rental. I thought the slit would be higher - it opened just below my knee and as a result it was a little difficult to walk or dance in. Also the top leaves no room for your bust! My already small chest was flatted in both sizes, and the dress is a very thick heavy material. Good if you want everything hugged in, but bad for an 85 degree outdoor wedding in June.

Something different!
This jumpsuit was fantastic. I rented the 4R and 6R due to some reviews saying it ran small, but the 4 fit perfectly. It stretched a little throughout the night so I could have gotten a 2. I'm short so I had to use temporary hem tape to take it up about an inch. I got so many compliments on it, especially the color which was perfect for fall!

Great statement bracelet
This bracelet was BEAUTIFUL and I received so many compliments. It's very big and chunky, which I actually loved because it looked great worn by itself. The stones are an opaque baby pink, whereas in the picture they look a little smoky but it was still beautiful

Very pretty, but didn't wear it
This necklace was very pretty in person but it didn't go great with the neckline on my dress, so I did not end up wearing it. I liked that you could either wear it longer or shorter. I did think it would be bulkier in person but it was more subtle

Loved this dress but is super short!
Ok so this dress runs large up top, the 2 fit so much better all around but it was a tad bit short for the occasion (baptism mass). Which is surprising because I'm 5' and never have a problem with dresses being too short. I wore the 4 since it was a more appropriate length. If I rent this dress again for a less conservative setting I would absolutely go for the 2. With that said the rich dark teal color is BEAUTIFUL

I rented this for a baptism with the Rebecca Taylor Work Hard Play Hard dress and it was the perfect accessory to the dark teal. Paired with nude pumps and a white statement necklace it made the darker dress feel much more summery

absolutely gorgeous but so heavy
I wore these earrings and they were absolutely gorgeous but I had to take them off within an hour because they are just too heavy. I also rarely wear big earrings so it might have been a personal preference

This bracelet was stunning in person but I had to give it 3 stars because the clasp was very loose and it came unhooked quite a few times throughout the night - hopefully it's been fixed by now because it's so pretty, definitely recommend as long as you keep an eye on it

Great dress that I needed last minute
I loved this dress - it fit basically true to size but since it's stretchy and should be form fitting I wish I had gotten a 2 as my backup size. I'm pretty short and it was just above my knee. I wore it to a valentines day party that I found out 2 days before and had no time to go shopping. The lace on the side is so flattering and really accentuated my waist. Love RTR it's my new go to for all the events that come up with short notice!
