Runs large
I ordered a large so it would fit over sweaters, etc, but a medium would have been better. Otherwise, this coat is cozy and I’d rent it again.
Member Fit Notes
Shearling Cropped Biker Jacket
NVLT
Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 11"
Narrow shoulders
This fit strangely across the shoulders--definitely too narrow--which is usually not a problem area for me even though I'm tall. Perhaps order up a size or skip altogether.
Animal Print Peasant Top
Victor Alfaro x RTR
Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 11"
Flowy, fabulous
Yes, it runs big--embrace it! Granted, it may work better for talls, but I loved how it disguised the tummy and gave a peek at the back. I wore a black cami to make this more work appropriate, but I have visions of taking this on a beach vacation and throwing it over a bikini. Fun, comfortable, and it has pockets!
Floral Monet Dress
Tome
Size Worn: 8
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 11"
Great dress!
I forgot to take a photo but what a great dress! I wore it to work twice and was flooded with compliments. Feminine styling, sexy but not revealing, good fit--though note the band beneath the bust does not offer any give. Wear it and enjoy!
Elfe Dress
ba&sh
Size Worn: MR
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 11"
This oversized jacket grew on me
Yes, the cut is generous and yes I worried that it was too boxy for my shape, but you know what? I've fallen in love with this charming spring number. The lightweight fabric is perfect for California in April, and I love the subtle gold thread woven throughout. I ended up wearing this multiple times: to work, to a party, around town. I would purchase if the current price weren't so far beyond my budget ;)
Floral Printed Jacket
Nina Ricci
Size Worn: 40
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 11"
Pretty top, impossible closure
Such a pretty top! Unfortunately the button closure at the back of the neck on this particular piece was impossible to disengage from the loop! I broke two nails trying :(
Yellow Tie Sleeve Blouse
Slate & Willow
Size Worn: 8
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 11"
Lovely, static-y
This dress has succeeded in one incredible thing: getting me to purchase a slip already! I haven't bothered with slips since the late 90s, but the static cling on this pretty number has made me reconsider. I may as well have been wearing a jumpsuit, the cling was so powerful. I'm chalking it up to my fault, and not the dress's, which was otherwise very nice. (I agree with others on the slightly odd neck situation)
Bias Cut Dress
Co
Size Worn: LR
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 11"
Dramatic silhouette
I loved this dress! Unfortunately I didn't manage to take a photo. The asymmetrical hem and the silky/flowy fabric are my jam. This is on my list to rent again--or even purchase, if my budgeting stars align.
Parachute Dress
ADEAM
Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 11"
Strong like
I was unsure about this jacket at first: loved the faux fur collar, didn't love the high waist cinch which doesn't quite fit my proportions. However, I've worn it several times and get compliments every time. As others have noted, this isn't a warm coat but works well in 50ish-degree weather.
Black Tate Jacket
Ramy Brook
Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 11"
Mind the gap
I totally agree with the other reviewers: tights are a must! And a note to the talls: the inner skirt will be way up there. (For reference I have a 34" inseam and the skirt is high mid thigh.) But that said, I liked the distinctive pattern and received a number of compliments.
Denali Skirt
Tibi
Size Worn: 8
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 11"
Great if you've got height
As others have said, this jacket offers a generous cut. I swam in a medium but still loved it. Compliments galore. If you have a smaller frame you may want to avoid, but if you're tall like me, go for it!
Houndstooth Joyce Coat
Tanya Taylor
Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 11"
Great print, baggy fit
Maybe I should have held out for a medium. The large didn't do me any favors. I loved the print but that's about it. I wore this under a down puffer vest to work (business closed for repairs, so we were all going casual) and DID receive compliments.
Floral Turtleneck Top
Aldomartins
Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 11"
Added that extra something to the work day
Great, flattering fit with the ruching across the waist. Infinitely comfortable. Stylish. I'm not sure I could ask for more in a dress!

Grey Weave Printed Dress
Fuzzi
Size Worn: LR
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 11"
Bust: 36D
Sleek look for the office
A million compliments later, I just may purchase this skirt. Others have mentioned the ruffle being too large, but for me, at 5'11" it's the perfect detail. Great for work and for heading out for Champagne and oysters after!
Andree Skirt
Chiara Boni La Petite Robe
Size Worn: 44
