Desperately wanted these to work
These are such cool pants and I was most excited for these in my order. Unfortunately, I was under the impression they were high-waisted (not sure if I thought I read that or just assumed) but these absolutely were not. I couldn’t even get above my hips and they were certainly not going to button that low. Looks like I got the biggest size (31?) so I wouldn’t recommend these for ladies looking for high waisted pants or with a pear shape who need size 10+ at least. 😔 Really sad I couldn’t get into these!

Good length even for us shorties!
I wore with some block heeled booties (about 3”) at work and honestly, I probably could have worn shorter shoes and still have been fine! Got lots of compliments at work, such a fun plaid pattern to shake things up with my usual solid pants. I wore with some basic tops and blazer type covers as well as paired with a band tee for a bit more of a punky - work look. You can definitely have some fun with these and dress up or keep to everyday!

Boxy but cute
Thicker material, great for chilly days. Cozy and very cute! Had a little bit more of a boxy fit on me, but that may have been because of my torso being longer for a short girl. I tucked into my pants in the front a little and let it hang over and had no issues. Cardigans are not my usual style and I’ve been wanting to find some so this was a great piece! I also really love the chocolate color, so nice.

Britney but practical
Really enjoyed this dress! Wish I had an opportunity to wear it earlier but weather kept me from trying it 🫠 So unfortunately when I did finally have a nicer day, I was a bit bloated that week (IYKYK). Even so- very fun and just a different look to add to your wardrobe! Waist does fit more like your actual jeans and is a little more fitted there than I expected for a dress, but felt better adding a belt to it. I wore either thigh high boots under since I’m short and I felt like that helped not cut me off. If you’re on the fence, just order it! Maybe a size up if you’re unsure/between sizes, but it’s worth it.

Ordered up for loose fit
I purposefully ordered the large even though I knew the medium would give me more of a fit like in the photo. (I always worry sweaters like this will hit me in a weird spot or for funny since I have a long torso for being short.) So the large fit just how I wanted it to - take that into consideration! Fabric isn’t heavy at all, but I stayed warm. Not itchy or too thick, I really loved this piece! I had it falling off my shoulder a bit and wore it very loose with a bralette under, wish I could have purchased but just trying not to spend too much. I think this could work in any season, from a winter layering day to a brisk summer night!

Cozy sweater
Nice, loose fit - which I prefer for a cozy sweater like this! Fit well, not too baggy or long anywhere. I find that I don’t always love colors on me, but it is a really pretty color and cute sweater.

Loved these jeans!
Little loose around my upper thighs, but not noticeable or a problem. I’m only 5’2 but I paired these with some block heel booties (about 3”) and had no issues with the length! More of a maroon color, but I really liked the cut and color together, nice change of pace from your usual blue denim. Lots of compliments, really fun pants for dressing up for a night out or casual everyday.

Very warm!
I truly didn’t expect this to keep me as warm as it did! I wore just this and an unlined bra out when it was in the high 50°s and breezy and was almost sweating on our short walk to the restaurant. I honestly loved it, didn’t need a coat with it for the fall weather and it’s so cute. I ordered up a size so that it might have a more loose fit and not look as cropped as some photos showed. It was perfect length wise and still had a snug fit, but the shoulders/upper arms were a bit bulky because of that. Loved it though, had I maybe gotten the medium and it wasn’t bulky up top - I would buy this! Perfect for chilly days, so cozy!

Great fit!
I love an off the shoulder sweater, and this was a perfect fit. It’s a snug top, but not in an uncomfortable way - just be prepared for it to mold perfectly to your arms and body. Slight itch to it, but not bad, I just think because it was snug and a thicker material than I expected. But it’s a great quality piece and wonderful choice!

A bit of work to get into
I didn’t end up wearing this, for two reasons: 1. it was tricky to get on - which I expected from other reviews but the lack of stretch at the seams really works against you and 2. I was unfortunately bloated more than usual the week I got this. Considering my height, I liked the length on me and where it hit (I think because I have a long torso for being short it actually helped with this!). But it just wasn’t meant to be, so I didn’t get to wear it and I don’t like dealing with such tight neck/midriff areas that make it impossible to get on and off.

More flattering than I anticipated
I do not love my arms or back lately, but this was for a July wedding and I like to dance. I actually really liked the look of it on me. Great length considering I’m short, but 3-4 inch heels and it was perfect. The back was a little loose around my waist since it’s very open, but it would have been doable had I worn it. I was a bit concerned I’d have to wear pasties of some kind since a strapless bra wasn’t really going to work. I think with that fabric pasties may have been visible a bit, but I ended up deciding on another dress with more coverage for me. Very silky smooth and beautiful on though!

Very long but very much worth it
I LOVED this dress! I knew it would be long based on the reviews (and me being just under 5’3) but I risked it. I paired it with some platform wedges and also used a belt to drape the fabric over at my waist to pull it up some as well. Worked for me! Everything else about it was great, no issues, it was actually a great fabric for a wedding on a 80°+ day and all my dancing. Love the 1970s feel of it, even the sleeves hit in a great spot and weren’t too long.

Beautiful, May run large!
I like to base my rentals on reviews on similar body types but I must have been way off on this one. I have been averaging 10-12 these days, but the 12 was extremely large up top and even loose down to my hips (which is usually the area I need it to be larger). The 10 was unavailable, but even that one would have been large up top still. I wish I could have worn it, but now I know to order a smaller size next time!

Only wish I were taller!
Loved this dress so much, very lightweight and flows beautifully. I'm short, so I did have to wear heels with this and pull it up at the waist a bit still. Slits were pretty high on me, but still not revealing anything more than leg. Sheer top in the back, very stretchy waist, forgiving. Wish I could own this at the perfect length for late summer/fall.

SHORT but fun!
I'm 5'2 and this dress was not workable without spanx/shorts to cover yourself underneath and hold the dress down. I ended up not being able to wear it out because I forgot to pack the right undergarments to cover myself. I wore it around the hotel room for a couple of hours if that and it'll wish I had the right event (and coverage) to make it work! Very lightweight and forgiving, a bit sheer when you hold it up, so maybe stick to nude undergarments.

Perfect for black tie wedding!
I am obsessed with this dress! The ruching detail at my stomach and the relaxed fit at the chest were perfect. I'm finding it very hard to fit into certain things with where my body is at lately, but this dress was flattering in all the right spots. Loose where I needed it, fitted where I wanted, and for being 5'2, this was the perfect length with heels. The large fit pretty well, but was just too loose up too for me. I got nonstop compliments for this dress- she's magic!

Perfect for a fall wedding!
Loved the fit and feel of the dress, great material for cooler weather. I didn't really have any issues with the fold up top, rarely had to adjust it- only after dancing just to make sure the hanger straps stayed inside. Awesome color! The thicker fabric means it's not clingy and possibly unflattering like some dresses, doesn't show everything. Great dress- highly recommend!

Classic pencil skirt with a little twist
I loved this skirt! Very easy to match with since it's a black pencil skirt, but the suede feel and the slit in front are a playful little twist without being too much. Very comfortable fit too, definitely has some room if you need it but isn't loose fitting.

Dress up or dress down!
I assumed this would be a tight fit so I sized up to a large go accommodate my hips, but honestly the arms and bodice were a bit loose- not the end of the world! I think I could have worn the medium, but it may have rode up a little, so I just paired this with a blazer or denim jacket to mask the looseness up top. Material is thicker than I expected- so cozy and lovely! I wore to work and a rehearsal dinner, easy to dress up or keep casual.

So chic and fun!
Obsessed with this shirt! It's such a great fit without being an uncomfortable tightness, just the right amount of stretch. Shoulders are dramatic in the perfect way. I paired this with pants, a skirt, and threw on a leather jacket when it felt just too showy for a grocery store run. ;) Contemplated buying!

Great rental!
This dress was so flattering, and sleek! It was a little shorter than I expected (and I'm only 5'2), but that honestly may have just been it being a little snug around my hips where I'm biggest. I'd say if you tend to have a similar shape, maybe size up or at least wear tights to keep from riding up more. Everything was perfect otherwise, great style, fabrics, loved it!

Surprisingly forgiving!
Beautiful knit skirt, runs a little loose! I tend to be bigger in my hips so I always find a medium to be safer, but this one was a bit stretchy and a small would have worked as well. Still loved it and wore a bunch! Definitely rent if you're even considering!

Runs very small!
Loved the dress, but even after having to switch the 6 out for an 8, it was still a bit snug where the cutout is. I will say that it didn't FEEL as tight as it LOOKED at times. Definitely a fun dress and a great bold color (just order a size above your safety size and you'll be golden)!

Rent it immediately!
I am obsessed with this shirt! It has a nice, snug fit without being unflattering or tight. It's PERFECT. The material really holds everything in without allowing for bra lines or any discomfort. I received nonstop compliments every time I wore it, and when I told women I got it from here they all told me I should buy it (I'm trying to behave on spending but I may need to allow for this). Such a good piece!

Great blazer to dress things up!
Love the cut of this blazer, I find that most (especially tweed) tend to be more boxy. It's flattering and adds a little bit of pizazz to even a basic outfit! I normally wear a 4, but rented the 6 and I'm glad I did, the 4 would have been a little snug and short. Only wish there was a liner in a different fabric; but overall it isn't itchy, I'm just used to a more satin material inside.

Love a good pleated skirt!
I work for Kate Spade, so I like to wear some older pieces we don't carry anymore or just save money and rent them through here for work. This skirt is amazing! I'm a little bit heavier than I tend to be right now, but the 4 is perfect. I've tucked some blouses into it and had no problems fit-wise. It's comfortable and beautiful! I've gotten so many compliments when I wear it. The length is great even with flats. Highly recommend, I'm even considering buying it to keep. You will LOVE it! Make sure to twirl ;)
