Beautiful rehearsal dress, long straps are an easy fix
This is a gorgeous rehearsal dinner dress. I got so many compliments on this! Not too long for me at 5'2" (and even better with 2" heels). The straps are very long and there is room in the bust, but I was able to pin the straps to the dress at the back, and along with some fashion tape, managed to get a good fit and didn't flash anyone. That's an easy fix, and the dress fit perfectly everywhere else. Loved this look!

Sweet for spring, runs large
This top was cute, but it does run large. I should have gone for an XXS - I'm usually a 0 in tops, and madewell often runs on the larger side. I would size down. The print is really cute and I like the v neck and peplum shape. Nothing super special, but a cute spring piece.

Just alright
These pants were fine. The color felt a little drab for me, and while the cut wasn't bad, it wasn't the most flattering either. For me, generally the higher the waist the better because I have a long torso, but this was just a bit much. The length was okay for petites, but not the most flattering.

Adorable and flattering
This dress is so cute! I got lots of compliments on this, and it was a perfect fit for me. Snug but not tight. It's simple, but with lovely detailing. This is well made, comfortable, and not too heavy or too light. The drape is flattering, and the fabric skims the figure nicely. Loved this one!

Absolutely adorable
I loved this top so much. If it weren't quite so expensive I would have definitely bought it. I loved this peachy color on my olive skin. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the neckline and cut! I paired this with high waisted pants and jeans, which helped bring down some of the volume. Would definitely rent again, this is a great spring and summer top.

Versatile and simple piece
This runs large, but pretty TTS for the brand. I usually take a 00 in this brand, although I'm generally a 2 (sometimes a 0). The 0 was boxy and a little big, but not unflattering. This isn't a style that does a lot for my pear-shaped figure, but I really enjoyed wearing it and didn't find it tight in the hips. Paired this with a crisp white button down and booties for an easy and comfortable work look, but you could definitely do something more playful for everyday. The buttons add some interest and make this a fun piece. I would recommend, but you may want to size down.

Huge and unflattering
I rented the XS to wear to work, and it was huge. I expect boxy blouses to be a bit oversized, but this was ridiculous. The fabric was fine but nothing special. This doesn't work for petite ladies. Skip this one.

Flattering, elegant, and classic
Loved this coat. I'm almost always a 0 in J. Crew, and that size was a perfect fit. This coat is so elegant and flattering - there's a reason Meghan Markle wore it. It fit well for me as a petite, and it's a good weight for early spring in New England, where the mornings are still cold, but the sun is strong.

Unique and cozy
I liked this even more than I expected! Soft and almost silky smooth, very comfortable and cozy. The knit is unique, subtle but still visually interesting. The XS/S fit perfect - a little boxy, as pictured, and it looked so cute on. Loved this for lounging and being cozy.

Adorable blazer
This was a great fit for me. I'm typically a 0 or 2P for tops, and the 0 worked great. The sleeves weren't too long, which is often a problem for me. The fabric is very cute, and this was a great piece for the winter to spring transitional season. Very cute for work. A little boxy in style, but not unflattering.

Simple, conservative, classic work dress
This is definitely TTS. I'm usually a 2, and found the 4 to be a size too big. This is very simple, classic, and work-appropriate. Conservative and easy to pair with pretty much any color palette. This was a nice fit for a petite - the length was appropriate and flattering.

Modern and timeless pearls
I absolutely loved this necklace. I wore it on repeat for the week I rented it - long over a sweater, doubled up under a silk collared shirt and over a high necked dress... I was very tempted to purchase. This is a beautiful and versatile necklace. The pearls have texture and interest that, alongside the mixed paperclip-style chain, make this both modern and timeless. Loved this.

Short and snug, but very cute
This was very cute! I wound up not wearing it because I found the small to be a bit too snug and short for work (and I didn't have anywhere else to go). This would be really cute with tights and boots for a date night, though.

Quality classic stripe sweater with a twist
I loved this! The cropped length is flattering (I have a long torso), and this is a soft and comfortable knit. Nice and warm. The sleeves are a really fun element, and they give this sweater a bit of interest. Being petite, sometimes a big sleeve can feel like too much, but this was well balanced.

Lightweight plaid
These are cute! I found them really flattering. Maybe a little loose in the waist, but not too much so. The plaid is fun, but these are pretty light weight (at least for winter in New England) and would be great for fall. Great length for me - looked very cute with a pair of heels.

I'm usually a 0 in tops/blazers, but sized up to a 2 after reading the reviews. I think a 0 would've fit perfectly! The 2 was a bit big. Very well made, though, with a flattering cut and seams.

Elegant, but runs big
This runs big! I'm usually a 2 in dresses (although for some brands like J. Crew & Ralph Lauren I'm a 0), but I definitely needed a 0 - this was big all over. Very pretty, though. Well constructed, beautiful fabric, and an elegant overall look.

Runs big, but cute even for petites
I'm usually a 2/26 in pants, but I think the 0 would've fit better - there was quite a bit of room in the waist. I tucked in a thick sweater and that pretty much solved the problem for me. Otherwise, I loved the look of these. Flattering length for petites. The fabric is a nice weight and stretchy, and looks very nice. Doesn't wrinkle too easily. Love the button detailing as well.

Super long but surprisingly great for petites!
I'm loving this! It's quilted on the inside, so pretty warm over a sweater on a 30° day. It's really long, but it's a cool look for me! The sleeves fit correctly, so this actually looks like it fits perfectly. I've gotten compliments on this coat - it's a bold look, even with neutral tones. Love the big patch pockets as well. Very much enjoying this rental and would recommend, especially for other petite ladies who want to try a long coat that doesn't overwhelm.

Sporty and soft, very cropped
This fits TTS, maybe a bit small. I found the sleeves were on the short side (which is great for me), and this is pretty cropped! I paired this with high waisted navy trousers and a belt for work, but I think it's better matched with high waisted jeans. This is soft and comfortable, not at all itchy. I liked this but didn't love it, although I think it's a cute, sporty look, best for weekend casual wear.

Cute, but nothing spectacular
This sweater was cute, but nothing super special. The color is a bit less vibrant in person, which was fine with me. The v-neck is very low cut! This is a bit cropped as well, and the sleeves were a little on the snug side.

Beautiful lace, subtly festive
The detail on this lace is really beautiful. I didn't find this wildly flattering, I thought it added a bit of bulk to the waist, but it still looked good and felt comfortable. I wore this for a dressed-up Christmas eve dinner at home, and felt fun and festive. The 2 fit me well - not too snug anywhere, roomy enough to eat a big dinner.

This is a warm, toasty hug
This is TTS, maybe a little small. The 2 fit me perfectly, but I think a size up would've also been a fine fit. This is cropped, so it looks great with high waist leggings (I have a long torso). It is SO WARM. Like surprisingly warm. The fluffy fur is so cozy and soft, but this is thickly layered (maybe quilted inside?) and incredibly toasty. I wore this on repeat while at home, and it's just so ridiculously cozy, like a warm hug. Loved this for winter loungewear and highly recommend.

A cozy, festive favorite
I LOVED this coat, I seriously considered buying it. The only thing that stopped me is that the buttons don't stay buttoned super well - not ideal for New England winters! That said, this coat is warm, soft, festive, and so beautiful. I got so many compliments on it and I absolutely loved wearing it, even to walk the dog. I would 100% rent again. I love the mid-calf length on me, good coverage for cold days. This is warm and a perfect fit - loose enough for a big sweater underneath. So good!

Beautiful fabric, but tricky for petites
This is TTS, maybe a bit big, so if you're between sizes I would size down. The XS was a little loose and a bit longer than I would've liked, but the fabric is beautiful. It's hefty! It's also a little thick, so it can make your waist look a little larger than it is. I liked this but didn't love the fit on me personally, being petite. I rented this for a fancy New Year's Eve at home with my partner, and it was fun for that!

Comfy, cozy, and subtly festive
Loved this sweater! It runs a little bit big, for a slightly oversized, cozy fit. Great to wear with leggings, and very soft and cozy. The off white and dark gray makes for a soft and pretty graphic pattern. My fiancé said it reminds him of those tinsely Christmas banners hung over roads - a subtle festive vibe! Wore this on repeat for the week+ that I had it, it was just so comfy, cozy, and easy.

Runs a bit small, fun wintry pattern
I sized up based on other reviews and am glad I did! The small was a perfect fit. I'm usually an XS in tops and sweaters, but this runs a little small. I loved this graphic, wintry pattern. This sweater was warm and comfortable, and easy to wear.

Christmas vibes, best for tall ladies
I went with a 32 for these. I'm usually a 2/26, and these fit perfectly in the waist, any smaller would absolutely not have fit. These were VERY long, and to me they have too much of a pajama vibe to wear out, especially with the very long length. But they made tor a nice, satiny, pretty Christmas morning outfit to relax and open presents.

Subtle print, beautiful quality
I usually wear a 2 in this brand, and this fit great, a little roomy (which I prefer for silk). This is pretty and manages to be elegant - the little hearts aren't super obvious. This made for a fun Christmas-y work dress with tights. I found this worked best for me with a belt at the waist (pear shape). Kate Middleton vibes for sure. The silk is lovely and dimensional. Definitely recommend.

Beautiful, high quality silk with elegant detailing
Love this top! The silk is beautiful quality - thick, with a very slight dimensional sheen. The embroidered ruffly detailing is so feminine and pretty, but not over the top. Really enjoyed wearing this to work with something high waisted for shape and balance. The neck is very low cut! I wore a cami underneath, but a pin or dress tape would also be a great solution. Definitely recommend. Worth that bit of extra effort.

Cute winter plaid, super comfy
These are pretty TTS, maybe a little big. I think I could've gotten away with a 0, as these were loose in the waist. The fabric is stretchy and very comfortable and flattering. These were a little long for me, but I used some hem tape to fold these in right at the cuff and they were perfect.

Flattering and comfortable
I absolutely loved this. I like the peplum look for me (long torso, pear shaped) to give me some balance, so this looked flattering. Still roomy, so great for wearing to a big dinner! The color is such a pretty neutral, and I really liked the fabric. It's not so much soft and cozy, but more like a combination of ponte + a sweater. I enjoyed this so much. Highly recommend - this one can take you from work to weekend easily. It's casual but can be dressed up a bit for sure.

Cute skirt, unflattering on the hips
The XS fit, but I didn't find it flattering. This puffs out a bit at the hips just under the waistband and I just didn't love the look of that. The plaid is cute and the stretchy waist is very comfortable. Maybe this works better for someone with narrower hips? Not my favorite for a pear shape, but it is a cute skirt.

After reading other reviews I went with a small, and it was a perfect fit. A bit cropped, which I like. I actually loved the sparkly stars, and didn't find it to be too over the top. It's fun and a little festive, but not too crazy. Love this for the holiday season. Looked cute and felt comfortable. Definitely recommend!

The 0 fit, which is my usual size for this brand, but this was sort of a meh piece for me. It was a little bit loose, although the length was fine for me, hitting around mid-calf. I just wasn't crazy about this, but it didn't at all look bad.
