Meh
You know that amazing thick knit top that holds everything imperfectly? This is not that. I was expecting that, so I think it's amplifying my disappointment overall, but rather than flattering me I believe this top actually makes me look less attractive. I obviously have pretty broad shoulders, so perhaps a more narrow frame wouldn't run into this but- it cut into my armpit/boob junction constantly, and not for nothing- the tag is just visible all the time because of how high it's stitched. It's a real shame because the colors are so uniquely complimentary. Still might wear it for errands buut

It's a no for me
I have a small face but these just looked ridiculous on me. They remind me of the bad guys in the matrix or men in black. And I'm just imagining what they would look like on cool people with larger heads and I still can't see it - might work different for you though

Runs huge in the hips, comfortable and beautiful
I'm small, but I'm not like TINY, and I was swimming a bit in the size 2. My hips are shaped like that of a 13 year old boy so I didn't have the curves to support it, but there was just sooo much extra fabric around the hips. The top portion fit just fine but lets talk about these 4 independent straps. Those take a second to adjust and line up properly with each other without 1 being a little too long or short. All that said- it's so beautiful. Just a really cool mixed media denim and comfortable. And a dress like this I would rather be too big than too tight so :) line up the right way.

Smart, cozy
This was better than expected... I have sensitive skin so even cashmere can be tricky for me but this is lined with the cotton top so it's great. It's pretty conservative so I got away with just one button. Wore with paper bag waist jeans, also wore with some joggers and it looked surprisingly cool

Not worth the rental spot
Sometimes I’ll wear the less than perfect pieces just because they’re rentals. Not this one. The drawstring hit at a bizarre spot and everything looked bunchy…. but looked plain bad untied. Arms looked weird unless they were cuffed. Neither functional nor attractive. You could maybe do some fashion somersaults to make it look cute but meh

Loved it
You know how some things with an elastic waist just dig in and make you feel like a self conscious sausage? Not this skirt. Lays flat. Dressy or casual. Wore with flats and sneakers, a top and a tshirt. Lightweight and flowy. As comfortable as it was beautiful

Versatile, comfortable, flattering
Unique, eye catching, chic, wear with flats, sneaks, boots, heels, whatever. I wore it 3x on vacation. Looks good alone or with a top layer. I’m on the petite side so it was a *liiittle* low cut on me but nothing too revealing and the just-above-ankle length was perfect

Longest non-adjustable straps of all time
So, in the picture this bra looks kind of cute, but let me assure you, no. The straps are SO long. If I wore this to do anything besides stand perfectly still my boobs would just be out. And I have a long torso and my boobs sit pretty low on my chest. If the straps were adjustable this story may have a different ending but this one is a hard no. Maybe if you’re like very tall and B cup or below

Hot little number
So, when I say it fits just right, I mean JUST right, and for this brand, probably runs a little small (I often get XS in mumu and the small is *perfect*). Quite comfortable, stretchy, makes your butt look great. Color is very flexible. Looks great with boots and sneakers. Awesome early fall piece and I could see layering a turtleneck or other long sleeve in colder months. Excited to wear it out!

Beware of loose buttons - but very cool
Stretchy. Flattering. Swaggy. Truly, the buttons were kind of an issue…they got pretty pop happy esp in the chest area so I had to tend to them like once an hour but I very much enjoyed wearing this and got a lot of compliments.

So, admittedly not the best for a night of dancing- I was constantly adjusting the boob area- but this dress is very flattering. Jersey knit was comfortable, the ruching creates some nice curves and it’s lined so it would hide any dimples or details. I got a lot of compliments.

Unnecessarily small
Buttery soft leather, easily adjustable, luxury satin lining......but why so small!?! I was able to get phone, keys (had to remove key chain), lip gloss, AirPods...and I could *barely* zip the thing. Def had to take my credit card out of my wallet to make it fit. So much potential but truly just...why not have made it slightly larger? I wore it once but it just wasn't worth struggling with again.

Heavy but chic + functional (and fits a lot)
Rented this for a trip to Paris. It took me a day to realize you need to pull the chain *through the loop* to shorten it, but you can adjust length for a longer more messenger style. It's a bit long to wear as a hobo but I occasionally did out of convenience. The chains make it a bit heavy but I wore it around walking for hours and was all good. Very chic. (My husband took a picture of me mid-eating a croissant lol)

Surprisingly sexy and versatile
Ok so I loved this cardigan. I wore it like, a lot. It's very versatile, both outfit and weather-wise. I wore it with leather shorts, regular jeans (pictured), white jeans, black skinnies, a skirt...great for zoom/work, but also like V flattering and makes your boobs look great so can go out. I'm between and XS and S- I got the S and it was quite fitted. So I'd probably recommend going up if you're in between

Comfy + casual, great for spring & summer
I'm 5'3 and I thought the length was perfect. Versatile, I wore with many different shoes. Can't really be "dressed up" bc the material but you can really elevate a casual situation with it. Very comfortable. When I first put it on it was right around the bum but a few good hip swivels and the cotton stretched appropriately. Recommend!

Ideal for petite on a sweaty summer day
This dress was perfect for a very hot day in the city. I can see why taller reviewers are not a fan- I'm 5'3 and it was perfectly short on me. I hate having a bunch on when it's humid, and this dress requires little to no accessories because it does all the talking. Loose and airy, and the fabric is thick enough not to show sweat. I loved the open back for a breeze and a cute touch.

"Polyester" can mean a lot of things.
In this case, it means swishy tracksuit material. Like audible swishies. I believe expectations are everything so very rarely do I rent something without a review for comparative analysis. I took a chance on this one & LOL. Positives: (adorable) bow halter provides adjustable length (however it's still quite long- I'm 5'3 and I could make it a lot shorter but I still needed a 3-4-in heel). Will work for taller. Has pockets! If you're good with the nostalgic sounds of a 90's tracksuit it's cute.

Yea it's pretty extra but it's pretty badass too. I got a lot of compliments from friends, coworkers and strangers. I found the shoulders to be powerful and slimming. Also it's very cozy and warm. Great for a flight or any other situation where you want to look nice but also need to sleep sitting up.

Better for dark or olive skin
This one washed me out BAD. I didn't find it to be flattering or comfortable. It's VERY warm, so that's nice if you'll be in a cold environment ... the fabric is not breathable at all. For petites it is a nice length for high waist pants (which are the only pants I wear). But I did not love it at all- if you have darker skin you may feel differently but every time I looked in the mirror with this sweater on I looked unwell.

I kept this for an entire month
Seriously I've been an RTR unlimited member since 2016 and I've never kept an item for a whole month. This sweater was simply amazing. I could have used like 10 pictures for the review with 10 different outfit combinations but showed with these wacky pants to show how shockingly well it matched everything. It's just the best and so much more versatile than you think given that it's a hot pink sleeveless sweater. It's warm but loose so it's not suffocating. Such a happy color. Just yes

I layered this over a variety of things- it's short & understated enough that you can get away with just about anything.

I've never been great at nailing the blouse bow, but this top looked fantastic with a simple wrap around- it structured the neckline and made it hang perfectly. Tucked well into trousers. I truly loved this top. Unique and perfectly made.

Not for anyone under like 5'9
So it's probably my fault for being an optimistic petite person, but I planned on wearing 5 inch platform heels so I thought I'd be safe. Even with the tallest heels I own, there was several inches of frantic dragging on the floor. But it wasn't just the length- like the entire upper body was very long and gaped (and I even went with my smaller size). You need to be a tall person to fill this one out. With that said, it's a beautiful dress with great construction. Built in bra.

Don't size up!
Ok this dress is amazing. Like yea the bow is extra but it's also extra f**king awesome. Based on other reviews I went with my larger size (and also because I have an irrational fear of the weird armpit/boob fat in strapless dresses) but this is such a stretchy and flattering dress! Also the giant bow would cover any armpit/boob area weirdness. Wore it for an opera at the Met and got tons of compliments from strangers and felt like a star. Get your true size or smaller option if you're between!
