cute with a denim jacket
This felt better with a cute denim jacket. The bust is fitted and the skirt a little high waisted, so I felt like all chest on top until I added the jacket. With that it was terrific.

Lots of compliments!
I've rented this one once years ago and always liked it. Cute and different. Nice quality fabric with lots of body.

Cute but voluminous!
The 6P or 4P would've been perfect. I ordered the 8P because it was all that was left and I took a gamble, but that's really a bit too large for me these days. Very cute, lots of compliments, but you've gotta really like high-volume wide legs.

Pretty for summer
Small fit well and I often have tightness around the hips. Plenty of room here. Wrinkled a bit as linen does but not as badly as some I've tried.

I usually wear a 6 and this was a 4 that fit fine. Maybe even a little room to spare. Very pretty. Got lots of compliments.

I rarely say this: it was ugly
This was SO unattractive and I can't imagine it looking good on anyone. It was the thickness and texture of an airplane mechanic's uniform. Not cute, not trendy. Just weird and unattractive. Fit was fine but I didn't wear it. Maybe for Halloween?

Just ok
It fit fine but I just never found anything to wear it with. The colors were very bright. Probably could have just worn with jeans but I didn't have the occasion.

Nice blouse with interest for WFH
This was a nice blouse with some pizzazz for work at home where only the top shows. It is a little frilly with the shoulder flair, so as long as you like that, it's good!

Tight across hips; size up!
I'm 5'3" and 122 lbs. The SR was too tight across my hips to wear. I found the whole thing fairly unflattering. It's a rayon/poly fabric with no shape and there are no gathers or pleating anywhere. It's just all straight with a tie at the waist. Didn't wear it.

Pretty and classic!
This was a pretty, classic look. I think it might have been a little better fit on a longer torso (I'm 5'3" 120lbs). But, I did really like it and got lots of compliments.

Not living my best life in this one...
Well, this wasn't a great look on me! At 5'3" and 120 lbs, usually a 4 works, but I think I needed at least a 6 in this -- maybe even an 8 (which I never wear). AND a good shaper too!
Vena Dress

Size Worn: 4R
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 3"

Bust: 34C
Body hugging fabric; not flattering
This wasn't a great look for me. I think on a tall thin person, it would be better. I'm 5'3" and 120 lbs. -- pretty average, but it accentuated every curve and made me feel heavy. It was also a really 'young' look. The fabric was like a thin sweater.

Bust: 34C
Sweater-like material; felt childlike
This fit my 5'3" 120 lb. frame, but just wasn't flattering at all. I think it actually looks better in the photo than it did live. I felt like a child. The fabric is basically a sweater and it's just not very flattering.

LOVED these pants!!
These are so cute. I ordered the 6 first and they were far too big in the waist. The 4 was perfect. I loved the way they fit, but something to note is that they are VERY stiff in the waist and they're high-waisted. That contributes to the flattering look (they flatten the tummy), but they are not comfortable at all to sit in. Better for those who are on their feet all day. I'm 5'3" and 120 lbs.

Nice color; bright for a change, but so-so fit
This was nice for a change of pace, but a little frumpy maybe. I think I could have sized down one size. I'm 5'3" and 120 lbs. Probably could have worn the 4.

Made for longer torso than mine
This was fairly forgettable on me. Comfortable though. I'm 5'3" and 120 lbs. I think the torso was a little long for me.

Beautiful and classic!
I've rented this one twice. So comfortable, easy to wear and classic. I add a different belt each time I wear it. Looks great also with red patent leather belt and shoes. Also with leopard print. I may end up buying this one at some point. So versatile and well made. I'm 5'3", 120 lbs and 34C.

Cute but not on me!
I'm 5'3" and 120 lbs., 34C. The top was loose and straps too long (not adjustable). The 4R was a little snug in the hips. I just don't think this pattern is made for me. Cute otherwise. I wanted to make it work.

The color was striking!
I was a little unsure if this was too dressy for work because those little flaps at the bottom have a lot of razzle dazzle to them! But I got compliments all day, especially about the color. Very comfortable, easy to wear. Really pretty. I'm 5'3", 120 lbs.
Magenta Day Dress

Side boob is very real in this dress!
I didn't wear this one because it was just far too revealing on me (and my 34C chest). I'm only 5'3" and I think with a longer torso, this issue would probably be mitigated. It's pretty, but not workable for me.

Very elastic, curve hugging fit. Too sexy for my world!
I generally like these that hug the body a little, but this was over the top. It's a very stretchy fabric and with the band that goes across the thighs, it really hugs to your stomach and behind a LOT. I just couldn't pass the red-face test to wear this one.

Very pretty; excellent quality
Loved this top. I wore a 0 (smaller than my usual size) because it was the only one available. It was a bit snug across my hips but it has some stretch so all was fine. The v-neck line does poke you a bit in the neck. The trim around that neckline is pretty stiff. Not a deal breaker, but you should be aware if you are sensitive to textures/comfort.

This was a cute dress for Spring. The fabric was nice, but dress is unlined. It's casual and fun. Wouldn't rent again but it was good for an average day at the office!

Very tight at the hips
Very unique dress. I did not wear as it was just too snug across the hips. I'm 5'3" and 115 lbs. and rented the 4R. I think the 6 would have been better. I'll rent again.

Beautiful; a little too dressy for work
This dress was beautiful. Unfortunately it turned out to be a little more formal than I expected and I just couldn't find a place to wear it. I will rent again. Fit was good for my size.

Nice leather; lining a little out of whack
I wore this several times (just forgot to take a picture). The jacket was nice looking but it felt a little wonky on the inside as the lining was quite bulky and not stitched down in places it should have been so it kind of buckled in places. That only affected the feel, not the look. Decent rental. Very versatile
Grenier Leather Jacket

Very fun and casual. Slits at the bottom a little strange.
Sorry for the lousy picture. This was a cute dress. Looked nice with my denim jacket. Length was good (I'm 5'3") as long as I wore wedge sandals (3"). The slits at the hem are a little weird, particularly when you're sitting. I did feel I had to keep catching it to keep my upper legs covered.

Gorgeous and unique
So sad I failed to take a picture in this blouse. It's gorgeous. Really eye-catching. It was slightly tight across the chest (I'm 34C). I might size up one size next time I rent, but it was beautiful and wearable in this size as well.

Pretty but not high quality fabric
This is a thicker knit, but it just doesn't feel as high quality as other dresses I've rented. Fit was good.

Beautiful, classic style with a twist at the sleeves!
Loved this dress. Very high quality. The extra details on the sleeves really makes it look high end. It is very flattering, but definitely shows curves. It was almost too low-cut for work, but I just kept an eye on it. Will rent again.
Navy Tulip Shoulder Sheath

Size Worn: 4
Usual Size: 2
Height: 5' 3"

Beautiful and unique!
This is a great top. Easy to wear, normal bra and comfortable. The little eyelet holes are indeed see-through though, so I think it's probably not a work top. They are tiny so I was fine wearing a nude color bra and didn't give it a second thought on our cruise. Loved it and the size was perfect on my small frame.

Runs small in the hips
Gorgeous! I tried the 0R -- too small. Then I rented the 2R -- wearable but snug in the hips (I wore it). I'll rent again and get the 4R and I bet it will be perfect. Length was perfect on my 5'3" frame. Could have worn flats or 2-3" heels. Sash is a little strange. It's a totally different color and stripe than the romper. I finally decided I liked it, but sure would never have thought to put those two together. Sash was navy and gold on a black romper with colored stripes!

Surprise FAVORITE!!
I was really going out on a limb with this dress and I ended up LOVING it! I'm small and petite but chose the XSR and it was perfect. The color is really nice and it's comfortable and sexy at the same time. Very forgiving size-wise. Okay to go pretty small I think and you probably won't have any issues. Definitely needs sexy heels or you risk mumu territory :)

Pretty, classic top
I really enjoyed this pretty top. It's very forgiving, so go as small as you ever go on sizing. I think it has the potential to swallow you otherwise. I'm 5'3", petite, 115 lbs., 34C and the XS was great.

Cute jacket, great sleeves
This was a cute jacket. Just a little more special than an average denim jacket. Brand new with tags is always nice as well. The sleeves are little tulip shapes and fit really nicely. Several compliments. I wore the XS. I didn't button it, but it would have been snug if I'd tried. Arms were fine though.
