Nice casual cords
I'm very short and these were the perfect length for me to wear with flats, which I appreciated. I also liked the low-ish rise.

Other reviews mentioned this, it was very snug, but it's a high quality sweater and was actually very comfortable

Fit was just a little off
Proportions were just not quite right for me with the fullness in the shoulders and the cropped length, but the colors and design are pretty

Pretty sweater
Nice sweater, came new with tags. Generally soft, but a faint sense of itchiness I often find with acrylic sweaters. Liked the length, not cropped, not too long

Cute, but odd fit
I’m quite short and was pleasantly surprised that these weren’t too long, but the proportions were off. Very high waisted, came up to my rib cage, so the ‘waist’ was too tight. Had already sized up so any more and the rest would be too big. But very cute styling, elevated casual, wish I could wear them!

Great length for petites
I am 4’11” and these fit me perfectly as full length jeans with flats. Not a big fan of the button fly, but otherwise I liked the slim, but not too tight fit

These were high waisted and a bit snug in the waist as well. Nice fabric, would transition nicely from fall to winter, but I wish they were lined

Fun dress, perfect for office party?
Probably office appropriate for many, but the length and flare make it skew a little cutesy. The light blue thread in the plaid pattern is glittery, which I only noticed in outdoor lighting. Waist sits a little high.

Fabric issue
The knit is soft and comfortable, very office appropriate style, true to size. But after wearing my jacket over it for about 30 minutes it was already getting fuzzy, with blue fuzz traveling onto the white sections of the sweater.

Beautiful, but too big for me
I loved this sweater, pattern was so fun, and it felt expensive. But it was somewhat oversized and combined with the bold daisies, it just overwhelmed me. Was sad to send it back unworn.

Unusual proportions
Nice fabric but weird fit. On the model, the sleeves look long, but on me they didn’t quite reach my wrist (and I am tiny). Also, I found the neckline uncomfortable, it felt like I had the sweater on backwards.

Holds more than you would think
Beautiful color, great size for everyday+, I was actually able to fit my MacBook inside and still have it zip. 1 inside compartment, just a fabric slot that doesn’t close, but could fit a phone or small card holder. I liked it having two handles, but they felt stiff, and the longer one felt just a smidge short for crossbody use. Overall a very versatile rental.

Versatile purse
Color is beautiful. Big, but a bit awkward to use all the space in the bag due to its vertical orientation, and not quite big enough for most laptops. There are actually 2 crossbody straps, one is the same thickness/material as the handles, the other is woven and wider, which I found more comfortable to use.

Generous fit
The overall flowy style and side ties make this very comfortable and forgiving. I will probably size down if I order again. I am 4’11” and this was the maxi-est maxi I could get away with. Went right to my ankles but didn’t drag on the ground at all.

Pretty colors, mostly soft but a teeny bit itchy. But it was really bulky on me. I usually like oversized sweaters but this didn’t hang right on me and made me feel like a football player.

Runs big, but ok for petites
I usually wear a 26 in this brand, but the 24 in this fit, maybe just a tiny bit big. Generally liked the more relaxed fit and was pleasantly surprised the length worked despite being under 5 feet tall - looked cute with a small rolled cuff.

Runs very large
Loved the color, and I love an oversized sweater, but this was too big everywhere. Managed to make it work with a scarf, rolled sleeves and balancing with leggings, but it was just barely long enough to feel comfortable with that and I am quite short. Could be a cute lounging option for someone a bit larger than me!

Cute and versatile but very clingy
Agree with the many other comments about the ease of this dress and ability to dress up or down. Very thin material but pattern looks winter-y and pairs well with tights, but very clingy when worn this way. Even with a slip, I was worried about it riding up.

Nice quality
This leather T-shirt strikes a good balance being structured yet soft feeling. It has a lining that feels comfortable next to the skin. I am short, and it hit just below my waist, not cropped, not quite long enough to tuck in. Wore it with jeans to a concert and may hold onto for the holiday season- would be easy to dress up with a dressier bottom.

Nice, but clingy
Liked this, and it’s chic, stretchy and comfortable. But the combination of the light color, thin-ish fabric and slim fitting style just clung to me in the wrong places. I had to wear shapewear to be happy with how it looked, and that counteracted the otherwise comfortable fit of the dress.

Cute, roomy bag, narrow handles
This bag is adorable and a great size for carrying a laptop, or a set of workout clothes, etc. One issue is that the handles didn't feel substantial enough for the size of the bag, which made me hesitant to take full advantage of the bag's spaciousness.

pretty and comfortable
The skirt has a bit of elastic in the waistband which made it quite comfortable. Voluminous and flowy without overwhelming me, even though I am petite. I am under 5' tall and it came to my lower calf. Tying the bow in front was a little poofy, but I tied it in back and that worked nicely. Can be dressed up or down, tempted to buy it.

Great professional and comfortable dress
This is a perfect work dress. The fabric has stretch, making it a comfortable version of the traditional professional sheath dress. It could be elevated up to cocktail attire with the right shoes and jewelry. Only fit issue was some minor gaping at the back of the neck. Fabric is substantial so might be too heavy for summer, but color and style makes it a solid 3 season option.

Vibrant colors, nice fabric
The color on this dress were really beautiful. I was a little worried it might look like the dress version of track pants, but the quality and colors made it work appropriate. Very body-con as the pictures indicate, but stretchy and comfortable. I normally would be an XS, the small was good, but gaped a little at the back of the neck.

Versatile bag
I rented this looking for a bag that could serve a dual purpose for a weekend away as an everyday bag and for a semi-formal evening bag. For that it was perfect. The extendable tote handles are a bit unusual (shown in pic) - while they add to the flexibility of the bag, if you are not using them as handles they make access to the bag a bit awkward, and also take up some of the usable space in the bag.

Beautiful thick knit. A tiny bit itchy around the neck, but generally comfortable. I was quite warm in it even though it has no sleeves. Would be great with a long tee under it. The front flap draped nicely with no real concerns about accidental exposure.

A little big, but lovely jacket
Wanted to post a review with a pic, since so many people commented on how large this jacket is. I am very petite and the xs was a little roomy, but workable. The quilting design on the shoulders made me look a little broad shouldered, but overall I liked it and got lots of compliments. Advantage to the roominess is there is room to wear it with a heavier sweater. I loved the length, as I think jackets that hit right at the waist cut me in half and make me look shorter.

Beautiful, but not perfect
I rented this to wear to an event with 'cocktail' attire - decided it wasn't quite right for that, but wore on a date night instead. The issue was the fit was a bit off because of the waist. Not truly a babydoll style, but not at my actual waist either. I anticipated this and sized up to accommodate my rib cage, so it fit comfortably, but the proportions were a bit off. I dressed it down a bit with opaque tights and funky short boots, but it could also be more formal.

stylish, classic dress
I really loved this dress. Overall, it has been my favorite rental item to date. I kept it for about three months and came very close to purchasing it. The fabric and the styling details were very high quality and it just made me feel great when I was wearing it - fashionable but professional. The armholes were a bit low, but I wore a black camisole under it and you couldn't notice that issue. I didn't have any issues with the side slit - even when I sat down my legs stayed covered. I am 4'11" and it hit me just below my knees. Proportions were good for a petite as well.

Versatile dress, but runs small
This dress could be suitable for lots of occasions, but it does run small. I had previously rented a different Shoshanna dress in XS, and while it fit, it was just a bit snug, so for this one I sized up to a S. Still had the same issue - it fit but it was snug. Felt like I had to suck in my stomach the whole time I was wearing it. But I liked the flouncy hem line and the maroon piping.

Fun, high quality pants, runs big
Loved the fabric and the print and they are super comfortable. The zero was still a tiny bit big but passable for two wears - then they started to feel baggy. I am just under 5 feet tall, and they came right to my ankle.

Great for shorter/petite women
I was very pleasantly surprised to find a jumpsuit that would work for me - I am 4' 11'' and it hits my lower calf. Blousy on top, and flowy legs, but without overwhelming my petite frame. I do think it needs a belt, otherwise the waist looks a bit unfinished and cheap. But otherwise the silky fabric can look quite dressy. Wore with open-toe, kitten heels. Could imagine wearing with tall boots in the fall.

fun, versatile top
I loved the versatility of this top. The material made it feel dressy, the cut was appropriate for work, but the pattern made it feel fun. One day I wore it to work with a pencil skirt, then changed into cut-off denim shorts for a concert. The second time I also wore to work first with a long, flowy skirt, then went out to dinner at a hipster-ish restaurant. Wasn't a huge fan of the top knot on the front, but overall really loved wearing this.

Gorgeous dress but tight through waist
Wow, this is such a beautiful dress - quality fabric, interesting styling details. But it took me forever to zip over the waist point, and was just too tight. It looked fabulous, but if I had to sit, eat, or breathe I would worry I would bust the zipper. Might try to size up, but think that will ruin the proportions.

Nice casual skirt for summer. I wore once to work and once to a casual daytime party. Very slim fitting but I am petite and like this style. Quite long for a pencil skirt but I rolled it twice at the waist and then it hit right at my knee.

Fun, pretty dress
I loved wearing this dress. The fabric felt cool and comfortable, and draped very nicely. Even though I am quite short, the length - just below the knee on me - was flattering and felt like it went with the style of the dress. The pattern is something I would never buy outright, but super fun for a rental. I wore it to work and out for a special dinner out.
