Great dress for a fall wedding
Wore this dress to a fall wedding and it was perfect. The fabric is on the heavier side and is fully lined, which made it great for the chillier New England weather. The black and white design makes it easy to match with colorful accessories, and the cutouts add some interest. This dress was extremely comfortable. I'm 5'2 and it hit an inch or two above my knees--the perfect length where it felt safe to move and bend over, but it's still cocktail length. Good for dancing in! I found it fit to be true to size and it worked on my petite frame. Definitely recommended.

Aubrey Plaza-esque!
I rented this dress because I recognized the pattern from a dress I saw Aubrey Plaza wearing in a recent interview :). I am 4/6 and went with the larger size. Waist fit well but there was a bit of extra fabric in the torso area because I'm petite. Length was great. Wore it to work and got several compliments.

Perfect for petites
Cute dress. I am a 4/6 and went with the 4. I'm 5'2/petite with a short torso and it fit me very well. It seems like the dress is made for a smaller person (like me). It's on the shorter side and the waist is very high.

Straight out of That '70s Show
This dress is absolutely adorable and very unique. Loved the rust color, pleated skirt, bust/neck cutout, and the bell sleeves (though difficult to eat and go to the bathroom with!). I'm 5'2 and the length was perfect for me. As a petite girl, I found that it ran true to size. Because of the low cut neckline, I wasn't able to wear a regular bra. I ended up going bra-less but felt self conscious the whole time. A U-plunge bra would work well with this dress.

Chic and short
I wore this for a formal event that I was working. I'm a 4/6 petite and the dress was a bit on the tighter side; I wore Spanks with it. I am 5'2 but this dress was still quite short on me and I had to be careful not to bend over--I wouldn't recommend it for taller girls. As others have said, the hem does poke out a bit, which was my main complaint. I used some safety pins to fix it but it still showed during the night. The back sometimes bunched up due to the extra fabric (alas, the plight of the petite girl) but it wasn't a big deal. I got several compliments on the dress--my boyfriend loved it--and it was fairly comfortable. The white color is more of a cream.

Cute summer dress that works well for petite girls
This dress is adorable and fit me perfectly. I'm 5'2 and size 4/6. Many of the dresses I get from RTR end up being too low-waisted because I'm petite, but this one fit well. Definitely recommended for petite girls. Great summery dress for work or everyday.

Small, cute bag
Rented this for a weekend in Vermont. It's on the smaller side but fits the essentials. Nice leather, versatile color, and cute gold closure.

Lots of compliments!
I wish I had an event to wear this dress to because it's so cute! I ended up just wearing it to work on a Friday. The cut-outs in the waist and bust showed a bit more skin than something I would normally wear to work, but it was fine. I would suggest wearing a nude racerback bra or strapless bra because of the cut. I got lots of compliments on the dress. I'm 5'2 and the length was perfect for a skater dress--not too short, not too long. I'm a 4/6 and medium worked for me. Since I'm petite, the waist hit slightly lower than I would have liked but it still looked nice and I would recommend it to my fellow petite girls. Lower hem flipped up a bit and needed to be ironed but I was too lazy :)

Cute, versatile top
Rented an XS, as the reviews said it ran large. Fit me perfectly; I'm 5'2 and normally a size 4/6. It was a bit low-cut for work, but the tie covered up the cleavage so it wasn't a problem. Cute print and nice blue color.
