Not for petites
Only for very specific body type. If I had worn it, my boobs would have been completely out!! Cute if you’re tall and also have the boobs to keep the glittery fabric in place.

Lovable mess
I love this designers handbags and the style of this and chain, but it kept coming open randomly and spilling the contents everywhere!! There was no way to keep it closed securely. It actually held a lot but perhaps that was part of the issue with keeping it closed even though it closed firmly at first. Beautiful bag but perhaps best if you aren't trying to fill it.

Cute, fun work to happy hour dress
Love this dress! Well made and zippers add an edge to this otherwise pretty basic work dress. Stretchy scuba material, next time I will rent the zero. I am usually a. 0 or 2.

Cute jacket, runs small.
Loved the style of this jacket but runs small. Particularly in the shoulders and hips. Wore but was a little uncomfortable . Liked the functionality of all the pockets! Will rent again in a small!

Cute color, but runs really small!
This is an adorable cut and color, but damn is it small and short and I am only 4'11"! I would suggest sizing two sizes up! The waist is not stretchy or forgiving.

Not made for summer!
I didn't even try on this dress, but suspect it might have been too small even in a size 2. I'm usually a 0 or a 2. The material is very heavy and not good for summer NYC heat. Might try again in the fall in a bigger size!

Not a dress for petites :(
This dress runs large and long. Way too much extra fabric. Even with the drawstrings I could not make it work. Paisley patterns and colors pretty though. Maybe best for taller women!

Beautiful leather and bronze accents but strange sizing
I really wanted to love this jacket but I found the sizing strange and it just didn't work great for me for that reason. The leather is high quality and has a nice weight to it which makes it great to wear in this late winter/early spring transition season. I also like the bronze zippers and other details. Makes it more feminine than normal leather jacket. This jacket runs large- the sleeves are very large and long, almost comically large. Same goes for shoulders. The body is roomy in a good way for fitting sweaters but nothing I could wear would fill out the arms. However, I could not zip because it fell at my hips and was too tight there. Perhaps it would work better for someone taller ? Wore unzipped but still not flattering :(

Weird proportions
This dress was a disappointment. It fit but the proportions were really weird. It seemed like the torso was too long or something making it look bizarre and unflattering. It looks cute on the hangar and the fabric is on the lighter side so it could have been nice! Shame.

Classic and fun
Love this coat. It's the perfect blend of classy and casual. I get a lot of compliments especially on the hood! I would say it runs true to size and is thicker wool coat -- definitely keeps you warm. I am 4'10" and this coat comes to mid thigh on me. I've kept it for several weeks! The one thing that is annoying is that it pills slightly on areas that rub but I think this happens with wool coats in general.

Runs small size up
Hard to get on, small fit. It looks cute on but the style makes it very hard to get on and take off. I recommend sizing up. I'm usually a 0/2 or XS and even the small just fits in this dress. No stretch.

Very well made but made for a taller person :(
I rented this dress for work and maybe to wear to a date. It's extremely well made and well lined. It's quite long for someone 4,10" even wearing heels and very baggy and not flattering- lots of extra fabric. Also, the pockets create a weird weight at the bottom that drags the dress down and doesn't feel so comfortable. I would recommend if you are tall and can pull it off as a shorter dress- on me it came past the knee at an awkward length. Plenty of room at bust, etc.

Sunny, happy color but see-through!
This dress is a great color but it is completely see-through. Seems more like a beach coverup than anything. I didn't understand how to wear it.

Classic, like Jackie O!
Loved this dress. Wore for work. Lined and has pockets. Reminded me of a 60's type dress. Simple and lovely. Fits true to size maybe runs a tad large. 4 stars because I thought it would be a thinner material and if it was a warmer day I would have been hot.

Beautiful color, unique dress!
I loved this dress! Normally I'm skeptical of ruffles as I think they can add bulk but this dress was so flattering. Mostly true to size slightly tight in the waist. Short but I am petite so worked perfectly. Low cut without being too revealing.

Did not wear- very thick and heavy!
This dress looks beautiful and the fabric is high quality. Unfortunately, my body runs hot and I didnt even try it on as I knew I would be uncomfortable :(

Comfortable but runs large
I am usually between a O and a 2 but this dress runs large. I am short so maybe it would work for a taller person. There was a lot of extra room in the shoulder/neck area. Otherwise, Stretchy and comfortable. Had to wear a cami under to be appropriate for work.

Fabulous color!
Loved this dress. Runs large but that's the style. I'm petite so I wore a cami underneath so it was appropriate. The fabric feels luxurious and the color is rich and beautiful. Comfortable too!

Light cute going out shirt
Loved this shirt. Very breezy and flirty without showing too much. Slightly see through would wear a white or nude strapless bra that you don't mind people seeing just in case.

Good sporty warm winter jacket
Rented this to go skiing for the day. Didn't have a warm short jacket. It was warm and probably the only slight con was it was slightly heavy in terms of weight to carry and wear. Otherwise seems durable and the good was cute touch to an otherwise basic jacket!

Cute and comfortable
Loved this dress. Very comfortable and the color is great. I am usually a 2 and probably could have worn a zero. A 2 was probably better for work to be more conservative. It wasn't too big just could have been slightly more form fitting. Would rent again! Wore to work and then out for holiday drinks at a Christmas themed bar.
