Great for Petites Too!
Lightweight silky fabric with a gorgeous print. It has pockets!!! I think it would be a cute crop on a taller person - it was ankle length for me. The matching belt is a separate piece, so you can tie it however you choose (I opted for a bow in the back). There is no stretch but it's cut to be oversized, so you can adjust using the belt - no need to size up or down if you are more ample chested or waisted, etc.

Comfortable and fun pattern
Great polo with a fun color palette and funky 70s pattern vibe. I wore it with the matching skirt, but could totally see it easily pairing with jeans or trousers for an elevated casual look. It has some stretch to it, but runs a little small overall - if you're larger chested you may want to size up.

Patterned Comfort
The skirt is stretchy, but does run a bit small - S was more like an XS and a bit tighter than I thought it would be. The slit makes it comfy/easy to walk in. Loved it with the mismatched patterned polo too!

Oversized but chic
The beautiful construction on this lightweight blouse kept it from looking frumpy or bulky even though it's oversized and has a boxy construction. The pleating kept it from being too sheer, but I wore a tank top under it for comfort and warmth on a cooler day. I wore it while WFH - I wouldn't feel that great about dining out or running errands in it, as I could see the oversized sleeves being problematic!

Uber 90s oversized
Love this boxy asymmetric plaid jacket giving me all the great 90s grunge vibes as an outer layer to wear for fall. Will definitely pair it with some "mom jeans" and paper bag waists + combat boots! The sleeves do run pretty long for petites but otherwise I found it to be the right cut for an oversized boxy look. It has pockets and is also fully lined, so it'll keep you warm on a cooler day.

Lovely cotton prairie style
Rented this for a friend's socially distant bday brunch and wore with a chunky cable sweater and boots for a comfy, early fall look. It is like a prairie style dress but as the cut is more form fitting and has the front slit, it didn't feel frumpy or overwhelming like some prairie styles do. The 0 worked for me (I am usually a 0-2 depending on brand), so I believe anyone could wear their normal size or even go a size down if in-between.

Easy Breezy
This gorgeous top was perfect with my skinny jeans - it had the right amount of flowy, floaty movement and gorgeous colors for a warm summer day. The v-neck in front dipped a little low for my comfort (you could see the top of my bra peeking out), but the tie lays flat and takes care of that.

Flirty and Fitted
I thought this top was so cute and would be a fun way for me to try something new, but ultimately I just wasn't confident enough in my tummy area to wear it. It's definitely snug in the waist without much give - I would recommend sizing up. It's very well made and the sleeves sit where they are supposed to - no adjustments or fussing needed.

Comfortable and stylish
Super stylish and very comfortable - I wore with a plain tank top but they'd be lovely with a bodysuit or crop top too. The fabric is light / smooth, but also well lined - no see-through issues and not easily wrinkled. Average height or tall people will love them - as a very short person, these were just a few inches too long on me, and hit at the wider part of my calf. I was able to use a little double stick tape to temporarily hem them to a more flattering length.

Lots of layers - open neckline
As other reviewers mentioned the fabric and embroidery is gorgeous, but also very itchy. The tiered skirt and peasant cut top was way too much fabric on my small frame - I should have known it would just add bulk that is unflattering on me. Despite reading reviews before renting, I somehow missed the very low open neckline with the ties - I don't have the chest to fill it out, so it was open almost to my navel!

Vibrant + Smaller than expected
Gorgeous bold graphics on this knit dress. I'm petite and very short, and normally DVF 0/XS fits me comfortably and runs a bit long - although it is stretchy, this dress was quite a bit tighter and shorter than I expected, so I decided to not wear it at work.

Maximum comfort and maximum style
Very lightweight material, and forgiving with a stretchy waistband - max comfort on a hot day. It is lined so it's not see-through where it counts. The skirt lining is longer than the skirt slit, so the lining stops at the slit edges. The slit was pretty high even on my short stature (you can see it's about mid-upper thigh in the photo) - if you're tall you might want to size up to avoid it being too peekaboo.

Beautiful but much too big up top
This dress is so pretty and summery with the vibrant colors and lightweight cotton, as well as the vented skirt slits. The 2 fit me like a 2 in every aspect except the bust - it was way too big in that area, so it gapped and kept sinking below my comfort zone, and the straps couldn't stay up (see photo). If you are a curvier person with an hourglass waist, then this is a perfect dress!

Cute and comfortable
As other reviewers mention, the top is not lined - I wore it with a colorful racer back crop top underneath and felt that was the perfect skin coverage for me. I recommend sizing up if you are between sizes or have a larger bust - I'm very short and have a small chest; normally 0/2, but the 2 fit perfect.

Silky, a little sheer
Fantastic silky material - wrinkles a bit throughout the day, but great for a casual warm weather look. The material is very light so it's a little sheer where it clings up top - there was no bra I own that you couldn't see the full outline of underneath.

Perfect summer maxi
Love this easy breezy summer dress. Super comfortable and lined so it's not see through - the back is open, but the cut was perfect for concealing a strapless bra. It was perfect maxi length on me, as a short person. Got a ton of compliments, and stayed cool on a hot and humid day.

Stunning silk dress
This dress was so gorgeous I didn't want to send it back! I found it to be more green than the photos on the model - more chartreuse than mustard. I am small chested, and wore it braless given the completely open back - there is an extra panel of fabric on the front bust area to accommodate not showing off too much.

Gorgeous comfort
The skirt fit me more like a maxi since I'm short. It sat at my high waist, and there is no stretch to it. It was comfortable for all day wear, and although the fabric is a bit heavier and layered, the cut of it has slits/layers so it felt great on a hot summer day. The slits are also conservative - at least for us shorter people, you don't have to worry about showing off too much.

Comfortable but clingy!
The dress is super stretchy, and a high quality knit so it's not see through. It's light enough for a hot summer day - it may be a little tight for more conservative events, and definitely clings to every little lump and bump, so shape wear may be needed!

Beautifully made
Loved the details on this sweater, down to the sweet rose-shaped shoulder buttons. It does add bulk up top given the cut - but can be balanced with a good pair of skinny jeans.

Super cozy, a bit worn
Rented this for a work from home day - as other reviewers mentioned, it's super cozy. Sleeves and length were long on me - I would say it runs large. My only issue with it was that the XS I got definitely looks overworn. I love a fuzzy sweater, but it was completely pulled/piled throughout, and there was a small hole in the side of it. Not a problem for a day of video calls, but I don't think it would work for the office or going out with friends.

Rainbow colors
This sweater is so much brighter and more vibrant in person. It definitely runs a bit large, although it is cropped - I like a boxy fit, but the sleeves were a bit too long and wide on me.

Flattering floral
Loved this dress - stretchy and comfortable length for a long workday, and also very flattering on curves without being too tight. The floral pattern looks mostly red in photos but also has green and hot pink accents - it was even prettier in person!

Unflattering seams
I wanted to love this slinky skirt, but it was both too big in the waist and the asymmetric seam hit my body at an awkward spot, looking like an aggressively bad underwear line. Also I should have known better than to try and wear it in a Chicago winter - the static in tights and dry cold weather made it a stage 5 clinger.

Size up!
This dress is so beautifully constructed, and I really wanted to wear it. I am normally a 0-2, and the 38 was tight but could have been workable for a day in the office - if not for the arms. My shoulders and arms were never going to fit in the dress right- definitely great for women with more willowy arms though!

Wore this to work for headshots and on a cold winter day. The dress was super comfy and warm, and it has pockets!! The headshot photographer actually complimented the dress and said it looked great on camera!

Rainbow glitter
Wore this to work on a cold winter day, and the thick sweater material was very warm. It runs quite long, almost floor length on my 5'1" frame. The glitter is beautiful and multi-colored; I took a close-up to show the different colors.

Another dvf winner - color is beautiful in person and the fabric has a bit of stretch. A bit long on my petite (5'1") frame but to be expected.

New take on a sweater dress
Super fun riff on a sweater dress - the fabric is thick and stretchy. The materials is a navy blue, red and black plaid pattern (kind of hard to see navy and black in the photos). It's definitely meant to be bodycon, so I added some layers under it to make it more work appropriate. The bust is really large and the straps are quite long - my small chest couldn't fill it out up top so I dealt with the straps falling down all day and had to keep putting them back on my shoulders.

Simply perfect
LOVE this simple dress - the cut fit me perfectly, and was flattering on my petite frame. The houndstooth pattern is subtle, and a nice detail when you see it up close. The fabric has some stretch in it, so it was very comfortable all day and didn't wrinkle even though I was sitting at a desk most of the day.

Dynasty
Loved the rich colors on this silky dress and the dramatic shoulder - felt like Joan Collins all day! The material is lightweight, and it's a true wrap dress, so beware a windy day. It runs a bit on the large side - normally I'm between a 0-2 and the 2 was definitely too big all around. I took off a star because the second interior button kept coming undone when I walked, which exposed a lot more leg than anyone wanted to see.

Warm and cozy
Great winter-weight dress! It's like a cozy woolen sweater but the cut makes it way more sexy and stylish. It definitely runs on the small side - I am usually between a 0 and 2, and the 2 fit very snug, like a body con dress. The length was just below the knee for my short stature, appropriate for work.

Lightweight silk
Beautiful and very lightweight silk dress. The colors are really lush in person, and the silk was great for a warm fall day. I will say that it's probably not going to be great in winter if there are tights involved - it would probably just have way too much static cling. I love a good tent-style dress, and this one was perfect: well cut, good length (hit just above my knee) and has pockets!

Very short!
Rented this for my best friend's bridal shower. I normally wear a 0 in reformation's longer length dresses, but I am glad I sized up to the 2, bc this one was tighter and really short - it hit me well above the knees. I am only 5'1" and I don't think I would've been able to wear the 0 without showing everyone too much! The print is beautiful, and the skirt is fully lined so you don't have to worry about it being too sheer.

Amazing colors
I rented this to wear for a baby shower - the weather ended up being rainy and gray, but I loved these vibrant colors brightening up the day. The dress runs a bit large - in the 0, I still had plenty of room. The cutout is right at the sternum, so it would be tough to wear a normal bra without having it peek through there - I went braless and it was comfortable, but definitely big on my small chest.

Great transition dress
The dress is a bit more formal looking in-person as the fabric is shiny/satiny. There are stretchy panels at the ribcage, so larger busts probably don't need to size up. It runs a little bit large to size, I probably could have gone a size down for a more fitted look. The fabric weight was perfect for a summer/fall transition, or winter/spring.

Not great for short women
This is a beautiful, well-made dress in a thicker, winter weight fabric. Unfortunately the length was much too long and hit me at the widest part of my calf. Sleeves were also too long and the handkerchief cuffs had a very Morticia Adams effect on my small frame.

Subtle and stunning
Felt so elegant in this beautiful dress. There is no stretch, so I recommend sizing up if you're between sizes. The waist is very small; it was hard for me to zip at first, and I'm usually a comfortable size 0. I was able to go braless with the sexy open back, and it was fitted enough that I had no concerns about the dress slipping down - larger chests may want to size up. It was a little long on my short torso, so the back gaped a bit and didn't quite lay flat - it's so well constructed that it actually looked like a natural draping effect.

Great for shorties
Another winner from Jay Godfrey for us short ladies. The V in front is pretty deep for us small busts - I chose to wear a tank underneath for work purposes, but I could have comfortably gone without one if I wasn't wearing at work. The length was great - hit just above knees, not too short.

Finally a maxi for petites
So happy this maxi fit my short body! I did have to wear pretty tall shoes, but didn't need any temporary hemming with fashion tape, which never happens to me with a maxi!! The dress also has a very sexy slit up the front (more like a wrap dress slit, so off to the side) - so it's easy to walk, not too restricting. I was able to go comfortably braless with the 0P and the straps were perfect (not too loose or falling down) - larger chests may want to size up.
