cute but a little big on torso
this was a cute dress to wear to work. i got a lot of compliments but the torso was a little long on my short frame, which made it feel weirdly bunchy. it also showed sweat rly easily — i would prob rent it again in the early fall or spring, but stupidly wore it in the DC summer and you could see my sweat marks at work oops

poor quality photo but obsessed w this jacket. sandro can do no wrong. it pairs with literally everything, and the leather edging + gold buttons make it feel more special than your regular jean jacket. only note is that the pockets are super shallow, so wouldn’t count on it to store a phone or anything. holding onto this one til i can justify buying it lol

very cute!
this was really cute. I’m very short (5’) and it wasn’t super short on me, so would prob work for girlies who are a little taller as well. the fan design on the bust made it feel a little more formal/less casual than i expected, but also makes the dress more interesting. would def rent again!

perf
wore this to a work gala and got so many compliments there (and so many glasses of wine) that i logged on to buy it during dinner :) it’s very light even tho the fabric is substantial, has pockets, the straps aren’t adjustable but still worked on my small body, and the colors are just gorg. hope i can find a reason to wear it again soon ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

gorgeous
loved this dress, wore to black tie optional wedding. i actually wanted to wear the new pink staud gown on rtr (rented both) but my husband was obsessed with this one. prettier in person, the brocade is such a nice gold color. it did start feeling tight in the stomach after dinner, tho, and i wasn't super comf afterward, but not removing a star bc i prob shouldn't have pigged out like i did lol

love but a bit big on me
have worn this dress a ton now — on dinner dates, to work, & to a sports game with a sweater over it. i love it but it is a bit big on my waist/the waist tie lands at an awk spot on my torso but I’m rly petite and don’t see that being an issue for someone 5’2 and over. even so, i’ve made it work and will rent again!!

great trendy top
apologies for the trash photo lol but i loved this top so much i bought it! i rented for a trip to italy and wore with the tibi italian sporty pants. i am always nervous about being too hot or feeling too restricted by this material but it was so lightweight and the structure kept it from being restrictive somehow. straps are just a tad long on my petite frame but that wasn’t an issue when i wore it out. love u peter som

love this but wrinkles easily
love this top! (bought it.) super versatile and year-round-friendly — i’ve paired with high-waisted shorts and sandals in summer and the above for a casual rehearsal dinner in winter. it does wrinkle really easily tho so wouldn’t travel with it unless you know you’ll have iron access!

so many compliments
this is my third or fourth time renting this sweater i love it so much and don’t know why i haven’t bought it other than it’s available whenever i look for it. always tons of compliments. the shoulders/arms are oversized which makes it easy to throw over literally anything. i’ve worn over work clothes to work, over formal dresses for weddings, over cover ups on vacations, and over a tee and shorts for everyday (truly have worn with everything for every occasion). good for traveling too bc it moonlights as a great blanket!!!

very sexy but don’t do anything requiring arms!
loved this shirt, put it in my “want to buy” category where i wait for price drops and purchase lol. the “neck”line is very sexy and structured so it doesn’t fall down at all, stays perfectly. on the flip side, that means you can’t move your arms like at all. def wouldn’t wear to the clurb, but my main issue was putting on and taking off my jacket, so may be best in warmer weather. will def be renting again for dates if i don’t buy!

really nice but design flaw?
i love saloni. the cut always feels luxurious and it’s really flattering on my body. this dress is gorgeous and fits well (maybe not after a big meal but it did when i tried it on pre-lunch!) but i literally broke 3 nails trying to undo the two buttons at the top of the back!! it felt like the little fabric hooks were made for much smaller buttons. i couldn’t get them over the buttons no matter how hard i tried for like 15 min and even got on rtr to see if there was a trick in other reviews but saw i was first lol. i hope the flaw is unique to this specific dress, but if not, beware that the buttons are almost impossible to unclasp (again i literally broke 3 nails trying to fit the hooks around the buttons) so i unfortunately will be sending this back bc i do NOT want it stuck forever on my body, no matter how gorgeous it is!!!

very on-trend but small for 7s
i like these a lot — example of something i wouldn’t buy since i am very petite and have trouble finding jeans that fit correctly so i never take a risk on trendy ones, but glad i rented these. they’re cropped enough for me at 5’ and are very flattering from behind. the waist is pretty tight (for reference i am a size 23 in 7s but and this 24 was hard get up over my butt and they sit tight on the waist), but they also came with tags on so might just need to stretch them out. anyway i will prob keep these for a few months and get a lot of wears from them!

comfy sweater but make it ~lux~
so fun and so soft. wore for thanksgiving so that i could eat whatever i wanted since the sweater hid any food bump but still feel a lil special. was nervous about the fur sleeves being too big/heavy, but they weren’t. only con is that you need a jacket with sleeves that will cover the fur. keeping this for second month!

make sure you have some fashun tape
cute dress, really fun, glittery, got lots of compliments at cocktail attire wedding (“you look really cool” lol). rented this dress for a welcome reception and another wintery dress for the wedding itself in my first oct shipment for a late oct wedding thinking it would be in 60s but wound up being in 80s, so wound up wearing this to the wedding instead and it worked great bc even though it has long sleeves the material is rly light so i never got too hot. i did need like a million fashion tape strips and a safety pin for the chest gap tho so be aware!

barbie pink
such a fun pop of color, very adjustable around chest due to bow in back (i have A cups tho so not sure how it would work with bigger ones), and actually kinda versatile. wore on several dinner dates and for a wine tasting and just hanging out during a vacation. the tulle makes it a little tough to pack and it wrinkles easily but also de-wrinkles easily using just a shower! love it sm i bought it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

cute!!!
it’s rly cute and fun to wear but pretty short and I’m only 5’. i don’t think i’ll rent again tho bc the tulle in the skirt makes it difficult to pack and it didn’t feel as special on as i hoped it would (fabric is rly thin & tulle a little itchy when sitting).

a little big but otherwise perfect
i love these shorts and wear them all the time (have kept for several rental periods now). i am very short but they dont swallow me at all — i am very into the length! they’re a lil big on the waist but i think it works with the paperbag look (and i can eat anything i want in them without worrying!) maybe i will finally add a belt to personal inventory and buy them!

love the set together
i love this set so much. the top is super super cute on its own, too, but i am self conscious about showing a lot of tummy bc i get bloated easily and the top is very midriff-y when paired with my other high-waisted stuff that isn’t quite as high-waisted/adjustable as these shorts are. i would 100 rent again as a set, and the shorts themselves, but prob not only the top.

i wear these shorts like every day
for walking around, for going out, for sitting in my house. I’m petite, and the xs is big on my waist when just zipped, but the belt makes it just right without making the fabric bunch or anything. they’re also short but not so short that i feel uncomfy wearing them out or to see parents etc, and they’re so easy to pair. i have the matching top too and love wearing them as a set, but also love to mix and match these. and obviously the pockets.

i love this top
i rly do!!!! this is like my fourth time renting it. i should buy it but $180 feels like a lot for like an inch of fabric lol. but it’s sexy without being too sexy to wear during the day, a lil romantic, and easy to pair. i have an a cup and a small rib cage tho, and it’s tight on me (not so tight i can’t wear it, but i also wouldn’t eat a giant meal in it) so would size up if you have any chest at all. highly rec for a cute summer top for daytime or night!

very sweet!
i find that as a petite person, show me ur mumu is one of the best brands for rentals i know will fit, & this dress is no different. it’s really cute, the color is actually quite striking, and it’s very lightweight. it’s the perfect length for what i wanted as a shorter summer dress, and I’m 5’. i also have an a cup, so it worked for me, but not sure how it would be on bigger chests, tho the ties in the back are very adjustable. only reason for 4 stars is that it’s not like super exciting but i love it for everyday wear.

nice dress for a wedding
wore this to a wedding in texas and got lots of compliments/liked it, but prob wouldn’t rent again. i have an A cup so it was large in the chest area for me, but the straps were awkwardly narrow and made my shoulders look broader than they are so i tucked them in and had to use some fashion tape but wound up being fine. also the bottom layer is a lil tight — dancing was fine, but i was glad it was a female shuttle bus driver who transported us to & from the venue as i climbed up the bus stairs lol

this dress is beautiful but not great for petites. I’m 5’ and ~105 lbs and it looked like a potato sack on me, but a gorgeous potato sack! material also a little itchy but might be because it’s a brand new one.
