Comfy & cute
Love this sweater so much, a perfect example of how renting can be helpful—this piece would take up way too much room in my closet normally! Super comfy, very cute with cigarette pants and loafers or with boots. I wore it at least 3 times and got lots of compliments & always felt cozy & cute. Sleeves are super long for a short person, but I felt like it was part of the charm!

Deep V
Honestly loved this top, the color was gorgeous. Only wish the hook & eye actually worked to close the gaping in the chest. I don’t really like the look of a tank underneath, so I added my own safety pin & it worked! I ended up wearing it twice.

Loved this dress, almost bought it. So flattering, so many compliments, wore to a fancy dinner date and to a theater cast party. Very festive and nice material that hung well.

Cute
Cute dress, did size up and was glad of it. The “sleeves” do slide down which isn’t my favorite, but overall felt very girly and pretty.

Rehearsal dinner dress
Super comfy and flattering for my rehearsal dinner! Wore with a denim jacket to dress down for drinks. Nice tea length on my 5’1” frame.

Nice material
Loved the pattern and look of this dress. Fit was good, a little tight in the bust while also being too long in the shoulders/arm holes, which led to slight bagging around the bust. I ended up wearing a sweater over it, which was fine. Best with heels since it was a little long on me (5'1")

Engagement shoot
Perfect for my engagement photos! Short but not too short on this petite gal. I liked the button detail in front (can't really see in the picture) and the sleeves.

Fit is weird
Cute dress but NOT for petites. Fit was all wrong due to body proportions (the size was correct for my body otherwise). Slightly too long to be flattering and you can see in the picture that the back of the dress had large air bubble because the torso was too long for me. I liked the weight of the fabric, wish I could have made it work!

So many compliments
I LOVED this dress, almost bought it! I got so many compliments. A little tight under the arms and slightly lower cut than I would have liked. Otherwise a perfect fit!

Wanted to love
Gorgeous material & drape but I couldn't get the bust to close properly/lay flat. Maybe could have gone a size bigger but I would have been drowning in material. Head's up that the material is so heavy that even though the straps do adjust, they don't stay in place--I would have ended up with a gaping bust by the end of the night. Went with backup.

Wanted to love
Shoulders were so weird!! I had to tighten the straps all the way and I still think they would have slipped off. Really hard to get the fabric to fall in a flattering way, especially around the bust. I would have been messing with it all night. Opted for back up.

Gorgeous, proportions off
This dress was comfy and super flattering, but I couldn't get the back to zip up--a larger size would have been way too big in the shoulders, but this size was too tight at the ribs. I guess I have weird proportions. Curvy short girl problems.

Perfect for working gala
Dress was super comfortable and pockets were so helpful! Great for running around while working a formal event. As a petite gal, the shoulders were designed for someone much taller and had to be pinned to avoid massive cleavage. Otherwise perfect! Got lots of compliments too.

Perfect!
This dress was SO comfortable and perfect for the black tie gala I attended& worked. I got so many compliments on the asymmetrical hemline and the leg slit made walking easy. I got the petite size but even so, I had to wear minimum 4in heels for the dress to be wearable for running around all night at my height.
Black Ruched Gown

Very comfy
These pants were great for travel. Like other reviews say, they definitely have a tendency to ride up the calves so I was constantly pulling them down. I wore them to work with a nice top before my flight, but they still felt a little too casual for my business casual workplace.

So many compliments!
I wore this to work and for an after work event and it was perfect! So comfortable and I got so many compliments. Length was perfect for my height for work. The only complaint is that the top lace got a little itchy after wearing it all day.
Navy Nala Shift
Lilly Pulitzer

Usual Size: 4

Comfortable
I liked the color and material of this shirt, and the style was a fun change, since I usually don't wear high-low tops. The buttons were a little loose and I worried about them falling off when buttoning & unbuttoning the shirt.
The Salome Shirt
SANCIA
Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 4

Comfortable and warm
Loved wearing these pants to work in the winter. It was a great way to test out wide leg crop without buying! These were a little long for my short legs but the waist was great and material very high quality.
Teresa Pants
CAARA
Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 4

So many compliments
Only ended up wearing this to work once, but I got so many compliments and it was so comfortable and flattering! I wore it in the winter with a long sleeve shirt underneath and it was perfect. I actually would not have worn it without a shirt underneath--it was too low-cut and a little large in the shoulders to work without coverage underneath.

Perfect for holiday party!
I wore this dress for a work holiday party and it was perfect! It was conservative for the office, and straddled the line between business and cocktail. I was worried because the drop waist felt tight around my hips initially, but it was very flattering. The sleeves were a perfect length (being short, sleeves are often too long).
Mock Neck Shift Dress
J.O.A.
Size Worn: M

Perfect!
This dress was perfect! As a short person I was worried about the length but it was perfect. The size 4 wasn't that much different in terms of fit from the 6, but I opted for a less-tight, more conservative look for a family wedding. Lots of compliments, great color for fall!
