Prohibitively Short
I am short, and I have short legs - and I would still never wear this. It is TOO SHORT.

Too Much Going On
The sparkles are not subtle at all. The knit fabric clings to every part of you. The drop waist is overly dramatic. I thought I could wear this dress to work (I work in advertising), but I really don't know where this thing belongs. Hard pass.

Cute Boxy Jacket
I hated the matching skirt (insanely short), but the jacket was cute and boxy - nice to pair with a white tee, wide leg jeans, and booties on a casual day at the office.

Chic and fun, not the best quality
You need to werq to get this one steamed (do it inside out). However after that, it's very cute on! I got a lot of compliments. It's not the best quality, but that's only evident as the wearer. I tried to order my usual XS in this and it was way too small, so reordered in the S and had a much better fit.

Fun top, easy to style
I paired this wide a high-waisted skirt, but you could really wear it with any bottom (or over a dress even!). Cute fit and also very soft and comfortable.

Okay blazer
The color is pretty, but the fabric and cut are just okay. Maybe it would look better with the matching pants?

Just okay?
Not sure why so many people raved about these pants. The fabric is very casual, and they're baggy/frumpy on a petite. Would not rent again!

Randomly really liked this
High quality and fun print. I just wore with jeans cause I needed an easy outfit, but I'd love to rent the matching skirt. Could pair with a lot of different bottoms, too! Fits close to the body, but not skintight.

Maybe better for taller?
I LIKED these jeans because they're really comfortable. Took my normal 25 and had plenty of room. I have a longer torso though and I didn't LOVE where these hit me - added some bulk to my lower abdomen area (and who wants that?). I also felt a little b it that they were like clown pants on my 5'4" frame. I wore these a few times but wouldn't rent again.

Lots of Compliments
I wasn't expecting a ton out of this dress, but it's much better on than in pics or on the hanger. Got a lot of compliments! I wore it to work and covered up a bit with a sweater over my shoulders. (The dress is pretty fitted.) I think a jacket would also look really cute!

Chic & Warm Winter Dress
I rented this dress on a whim and almost purchased. It's so hard to find a dress for winter that's both chic and warm, but this dress fits the bill. The silhouette and color are beautiful, and the fabric is thick, soft, and stretchy. Two women stopped me in the bathroom at work to tell me how much they loved the look. I'm 5'4" and did not find the length to be overwhelming, but I did style with heeled booties. Rent it!

Chic and Fun
This is I think the third time I've rented this top? I got a S instead of an XS, I think because I remembered the XS being a little tight; however, the S was definitely larger than I would have liked. If you're between sizes, I'd say go with how you like your tops to fit and/or the look you're going for. I had wanted to wear with a circle skirt for a date, so was disappointed that the S was a bit boxier. Overall, though, such a fun and chic top to pair with high-waisted skirts and pants.

Can't go wrong with classic Madewell - cool and comfortable. Threw it in my backpack for a weekend trip, and paired with flat sandals for a casual summer day.

Unflattering for petites
I am 5'4" and looked like I was wearing tie die sausage casing down to my ankles. Rough, LOL. Could see this being a good option for taller women, which is why I gave three stars - the fabric and color are both very nice!

Uncomfortable and unflattering
In my opinion, this dress would be uncomfortable and unflattering for most. There is no way to wear a bra with it (I have a black plunge bra that I tried - no dice). Then, ON A WHIM, I tried it without a bra, which smooshed my chest and just...did not look good. Renter beware!

Romantic, Rich Color
I loved this dress - the neckline and silhouette are romantic, and the color is rich. Perfect for a date! I made the mistake of sizing UP to a S, since Reformation typically runs small. However, I found this dress to be true to size (i.e., the S was too big for me). I still loved it, though - I'll just order an XS next time.

Chic Top
I really love this top - would consider purchasing. I wore it for WFH, so didn't worry too much about my bottoms (bike shorts! LOL) but it would pair very well with high-waisted jeans or skirt, shorts, pretty much anything. It's boxy without being overwhelming, but if you're between sizes, I would size down.

Fun and Flirty
I wore this dress to WFH and then out for a patio date afterwards. Worked well in both settings! Comfy and cute - appropriate up top (with a camisole) for video calls, but fun and flirty enough for a date. Paired with Adidas gold stripe sneakers. Would rent again!

This One's A Keeper!
This is the one RTR Unlimited purchase I've made in over a year of having the service! This leather jacket is very well-made, has classic vibes with a modern silhouette, and looks good with just about everything. I especially love the gold hardware, which you don't always see on a black leather jacket.

Another Cozy Sweater from C&C!
I could live in the Cupcakes & Cashmere sweaters. I wore this one 3+ times, and I liked that you could dress it up a little (wore once with a black dress underneath for work) or wear casual with jeans. VERY warm, which I loved for winter in Chicago.

Cozy and Cute
I did really like this dress - comfy (not itchy) and flattering, not too tight or clingy. The only reason I didn't give 5 starts is because it's LONG. I'm 5' 4" and I got a little lost in it (it hit me more mid-shin than right below the knee).

Sleek (but Comfortable!) Work Dress
I wore this in January in Chicago for work, so styled with a chambray shirt underneath and black fleece-lined tights with black booties. This was my first Theory rental, and I rented a 2 (I'm usually between a 0 and 2, depending on brand). I found it to be form-fitting and flattering with a good amount of both structure AND stretch - really the holy grail of a work dress, if you ask me. Would recommend!

Statement Dress
I wore this to work in Chicago (with black tights and booties - late fall/early winter) and on vacation in Florida (with taupe sandals). Very verstaile! As many others have commented, the dress runs a full size or size and a half small. I'm typically a 0-2 and sized up to a 4; even so, the buttons at my bust came undone a few times! Also, this is VERY long. I'm 5'4" and there's no way I could've worn this without heels. But, it's worth it for the look!

Cute and Casual Sweater
Typical high quality from Madewell. I've found myself reaching for this again and again over the past few days - to go to the movies, to go to church, etc. I'll probably wear to work this week as well. I haven't worn a cami underneath, and I don't find it itchy. Nice and warm!

Unique Dress + Gorgeous Embroidery
This is truly a beautiful and unique dress. This was more of a maxi than midi on me (I'm 5'4") but this didn't detract from the overall silhouette or effect. I LOVED the embroidery and the sheer overlay, and the red and coppery brown together on top of the black ended up being a really interesting and rich color combination. I would agree with other reviewers that there's little stretch in this dress, but strongly recommend that you still order your true size. Otherwise, you won't get the full fit and flare effect. Enjoy!

Chic Blazer
I loved the fit and print of this blazer from Joie - so high-quality, and kept me warm in my freezing cold office. I paired with a black sheath dress, black tights, and black booties - would also look great with jeans or skinny pants. I do think it runs true to size, but note that it's a boxy fit.

Cute But Long
I liked this but didn't love it. PROS: The color is pretty, the material is nice and soft, and the neckline and slit add some date night flair without being too revealing. CONS: The material shows everything (so you need to wear very bare undergarments), and it's very long (I'm 5'4" and there's no way I would have been able to wear this dress without 4" heels). I wouldn't caution against renting, but I personally won't rent again - I think this is best for a taller gal.

90's Minimalist Chic
Loved this color and silhouette for a summer date night! Feels like a nod to Carrie Bradshaw, especially with strappy ankle sandals. I am 5'4" and 120 lbs, typically wear a 2, and the XS fit very well - snug across the bust, and just skimmed over the rest of my body in a flattering way. Recommend!

Boho Glam Daytime Option
I loved the look of this dress - I'm 5'4", so the dress hit me almost like a maxi, but adding some height with a heeled bootie helped me not be so overwhelmed by the fabric. I paired with the Slate & Willow Moto Jacket for a boho glam look at work. Fashion moment! My one call-out is that my dress came without a slip (and I see a few other reviewers have noted this as well), so you may want to rent only if you have a full slip to wear underneath (the dress is totally sheer).
