Classy & cute maternity top
Rented this for my husband's birthday night out as a back-up option and ended up wearing it to dinner the next night. It's a very pretty top and very flowy - probably not a shirt you want to wear until your third trimester. Even at 33 weeks with my second baby I kind if felt like I was swimming in it a bit. Still, it's a very pretty shirt and maternity options are limited so I went with it. I think if this shirt were available one size smaller it would have been perfect.

Okay-ish dress for petites
I wore this dress to a fall wedding at a winery in a beach town. This was my back-up dress when my original BCBG dress wasn't returned on time. To be honest, I didn't love it but it got the job done. Length is kind of awkward for petites, but I have a feeling it might have been a bit better if I were able to wear my usual size. I ended up wearing the 2 since I just had a baby and still have a few pounds to go. I didn't realize how low-cut it was until I sat down, but it was nothing a little fashion tape couldn't handle. As others mention, it is a very form fitting dress. I was slightly self-conscious in my 2 month post-baby body, but it actually did a good job of hugging everything in. Side note: If I had better assistance at the time, I probably would've opted for a different dress. Customer service at RTR is really hit or miss these days. With a new baby I didn't have the time I usually do to scroll through all available inventory and unfortunately, the "stylists" were of no help at all -- way way different than the RTR I used to know.

Perfect combination of work and a little play
Rented this dress for The Hampton Classic and it was perfection. I was there for work, so I wanted something professional but fun. I got compliments everywhere I went. The zero fit me like a glove. I have a small chest, so there was a lot of room, but I think it's to make up for the fact that this dress has a tighter fit in the ribcage area. It fit like a glove and fell perfectly just below the knee. I'd rent it again in a heartbeat.

Great dress for petites!
Wore this dress to a rustic wedding in a barn. It was pretty cold so I paired it with nude micro fishnets & grey booties. Also went really well with the Kate spade earrings/ bracelet I rented. Fit: like some other reviewers mentioned, I'm not sure what's going on with the zipper here. It's not a sizing issue because even with the dress off it was really hard to zip up by the rib cage area. However once I finally got it, the dress fit like it was made for my 5'1 petite frame. Perfect length for a wedding, not quite mid-thigh but still above the knee. Order: my first order actually got lost by UPS so I didn't get it until Saturday morning (opposed to Thursday). Brianne was great about getting my new order to me and even threw in a back-up dress. Even though I didn't end up needing it, I appreciated that. But we all know RTR has exceptional customer service :) would definitely rent again & recommend to all my petite ladies out there!

The perfect bridesmaid dress for a Fall wedding
I didn't actually wear this dress, but had to share a review. I'm a long-time fan of RTR so I always knew I would use the service for my wedding. Having worn a Nha Kahn dress before, I knew the sizing would be generous. This dress fit each of my bridesmaids amazingly even though they all have different body-types/ heights. I love looking at pictures and knowing that they all got to wear a super fun high-end dress while spending next to nothing instead of being forced to purchase a plain overpriced dress that they would never wear again.

When in doubt, wear red
There is absolutely no way you can't stand out in this dress. It's so sexy and classy at the same time. The XS fit me like a glove. Length wise it gave me that perfect midi length. (The Size S would've worked if I had to, but I felt I lost a lot of shape, and it was just awkwardly long on my 5'1 frame.) Fit wise, it was just tight enough & moved really well since there's a bit of stretch. A word of caution: if you are self-conscious about any problem areas, this isn't the dress for you.

Great studs
These were the perfect finishing touch to my look. I wore them for a wedding with the "Alexis" dress. They were slightly heavier than your average stud. I thought the size was perfect. What I really loved was the earring clasp in the back, which made them feel super secure. I was able to dance the night away and they stayed in place the entire time. Would definitely recommend.

Pretty dress but kind of long for a party dress
This was another replacement option that didn't work out for me. The fit was pretty good but the length was slightly too long for me. If you're petite and have time to get a temp hem put in at the store, it could be great.

Good choice for petite girls
This dress worked out really well for my bachelorette party. It's definitely on the tighter side but figure flattering enough. Good dress for petite girls, the fit was perfect.

Perfect pop of color for my bachelorette party ensemble
This bag was the perfect size for my bachelorette party! We kicked the day off at the spa & then went to dinner in the city so I needed something that would hold all my essentials for getting ready post-spa day. It was super cute and kept me from looking like I was bringing the whole world with me.

The photos don't do it justice. It's a great statement necklace with some vintage flare. Very classy.

Love this dress!
This is my new favorite dress from RTR! I wore this to a rustic but elegant wedding and it was perfect. If you are petite, you will love the fit. It was absolutely perfect, got compliments all night from other wedding guests. Will definitely rent again.

Glam but not overdone
These were slightly heavy, but the perfect touch to add a bit of glam. They are also pretty big, so as long as you're not afraid of that you will love them. I would definitely recommend these & rent them again!

This dress is AWESOME - if you can get it to zip all the way up.
Pros: Great length for petites, beautiful dress, sexy plunging neckline, figure flattering Cons: Runs particularly small in the ribcage area of the dress. I rented the 0 and 2. The 0 fit me really well everywhere, except my rib cage. I have a really small bust so I thought it was sized awkardly. The hook and eye zipper isn't the best either, so that didn't help. I had to have a friend hold the dress together so that I could zip it up. I stuck with the 0 because the 2 felt too large/long everywhere else and would've taken away from the "cocktail" feel I was going for.

Petite girls, keep looking! I rented this dress for engagement pictures, but it ran too large.
For reference, I am 5'1 , 110lbs. I rented the 0 and the 2, and was really looking forward to wearing this dress, but it just didn't work out. I tried on the 0 and was swimming in it, so didn't even bother to try the 2. I contemplated using safety pins to take it in a bit, but it would've been overkill. I ended up purchasing a dress the day before instead. Pros: This is definitely a beautiful dress. The color is great, and not at all too "neon" if you're worried about that. The length was a little long too but would've been do-able if there was one size smaller. Cons: It was just too big. It's definitely not a dress for those who are petite. For those with a small bust, it just looks award in the front and the arm holes are way too big.

I was singing for my friend's country club wedding, so I knew I needed to wear something special!
The fit was pretty perfect. If you like form-fitting dresses on the shorter side, this dress is for you. I'm 5'1 and it was the perfect mini-length that I was looking for. Some minor cons - It's very stretchy and it was obvious that the size 0 been worn quite a bit. (I didn't mind, but those who prefer a more structured dress won't love the fit). However, I decided to stick with the 0 because the sizing was great. A size 2 was much longer and just too loose everywhere. You also definitely need to let the dress sit out for a bit and fluff up the bottom, because it is not as full as it is in the pictures online. Overall, a great dress and I would definitely rent again!
