Casual and lightweight fabric
This top was good for a casual evening out. I wore it tucked in with jeans. Size small was not available so I ordered the medium. It was slightly large on my 5'2", 125 lb frame. I usually wear size 6, but this ran a little larger and because it was a loose fit.

Beautiful red color and quality fabric
I love Trina Turk designs. The size 6 fit well on my 5'2", 125 lb frame. It was quite dressy and I didn't have any cocktail events to wear this to so I didn't wear it at all.

Fabric has no give
As others mentioned, the fabric has no give and the liner is difficult to get on. I didn't bother with it.

Slightly large on me
I'm usually a 6, but sized up because I have a thick waist. The 8 fit well around my bust and waist, but because it's larger than my normal size, it was longer in the hem and shoulder strap. The fabric is a thick brocade and would be great for a gala event or black tie. It just wasn't the best for me so I never wore it.

The denim fabric is quite thick and heavy. But it feels like a good quality and I was comfortable in this outfit. I wore it with an Hermes scarf which gave it a pop of color.

Didn't wear it
Rented both the top and pants but didn't wear both. Even tho both were in my size, it was too too snug around the waistline. I couldn't get it to zip up or button close. This outfit is not made for ladies with large waistlines.

Compliments all night long
The size fit me perfectly. Had to struggle with zipping it up, but once on it looked great on me. The herringbone stay that was inserted the bustier top poked into my ribcage and it was quite painful when I was seated. Didn't feel it as much when I was standing. The color of the top and tail is a rose gold with a shiny sheen to it. Perfect for an informal holiday occasion.

Elastic waistband kept riding up
The top fit me but I kept tugging it down b/c the elastic waistband would ride up. It's like it should have been for a petite person who has a short torso, instead of my normal sz 6. The ruffles around the neckline wouldn't lie flat, and didn't look right. I liked the sheerness of the fabric and the pattern. The sleeves were a perfect 3/4 length. I wore it with slacks but should've rented the skirt which probably would've looked better.

This handbag was the perfect size to hold my necessities: phone, credit card wallet, lipstick and reading glasses. When it's zipped close, the two fold chains give added style to this bag. The pearls kick the light colored denim up a notch. It was perfect for traveling. I even got a compliment from a stranger.

Wore to evening events
This was a fun dress that I rented twice. I wore it to an outdoor evening concert pre-covid, and the opening night of CATS post covid. It had just enough style not to look too overly dressy, but just enough to stand out as something different. I got compliments from people I did not know. The length was perfect for my 5'2" height and the fabric was sheer, but lined. I probably won't rent this again b/c the dress is out dated (to me).

Flary, summery colors
When I tried this outfit on, I was at first disappointed b/c I thought it was too large. Then I realized that I could adjust the straps by re-knotting it in the back. That helped to raise the neckline, hem and back, making for an alright fit. I couldn't wear a strapless bra bc it would show, so I wore those stick-on cups. The colors reminded me of neopolitan ice cream and the dress did not show any wrinkles. For reference, I'm 5'2", 118 lbs.

Sz 42 usually fits me, but this was too big
When I wear La Petite Robe, my perfect size is 42. But when I ordered this outfit in Sz 42, it was like two sizes too large. I should've got the 38. As a result, I didn't wear it.

Received the most compliments of all my rentals.
I loved loved loved this outfit. So many ppl complimented me on it. It was casual yet stylish. The cotton-linen fabric is not stretchy and the 6 was snug on me. I'm between 4-6 depending on the designer. The length was just right for my 5'2" height.

Didn't wear it bc it was too long on me
I'm between a 4 and 6 but usually select 6. The problem I have is that the 6 will fit my body, but it's usually too long and that is what I'm finding with my rentals. This outfit would've been perfect for an evening out, but it was way too long on me. Standing in bare feet, there was an extra 6-8" of fabric pooled on the floor. For reference, I'm 5'2"

Didn't wear it
I love the design of this dress and rented it for a Mother's Day brunch. The neckline, the soft fabric and muted pink color made this dress very feminine. I had several issues though. The sheerness of the fabric required a spanx or else all your bumps, imperfections, bra and pantry lines will show through. It was also too long, and even with my highest heels, the hem still touched the floor by about 2".

Airy comfort
The print and style of this outfit was perfect for the African-themed book signing that I attended. It was comfortable and flowy. There are no buttons or zippers, and you need to step into the pants and pull it up. The top and armholes are quite big, but the straps are adjustable. I wore a beige top under the outfit and it looked fine. For reference, I'm 5'2", 118 lbs.

The dress I rented was not the same as the description
Which is not a big deal, but I would've preferred the dress that was pictured. The bodice of the rented dress was a solid fabric, not like the rest of the dress. I didn't wear this because 1) the dress was too tight around my rib cage, 2) the hem was too long, 3) hard to zip up. I think if O ordered a larger size, the bodice would fit, but the skirt would've been too big.

Love Adam Lippe!
This slip dress fit my 5'2", 118 lb frame perfectly! It had a side slit and low neckline which added a slight sexiness to this outfit. It was slightly long for me, but didn't look dowdy. I love the fabric and floral design with his signature interspersed throughout. Comfortable and casual, but can be dressed up with accessories. I didn't buy it bc it was too expensive, but I wore it several times. RTR has turned me on to this designer and I'll be renting more from him.

Travels well
I packed this top for a cruise to a Italy. I wore it several times and got positive comments from my cruise mates. The slight turtleneck was perfect for visiting the cathedrals. After leaving Rome, I wore this on two long (11 hour and 8 hour) flights back home. It held up well during the flights and layovers. Quality fabric and cool design. For reference, I'm 5'2", 118 lbs.

I ordered the top and matching bottom but ended up wearing only the top. It fit me well but just a tad bit long. I could've belted it with a chain link belt and it would've looked fine. The fabric is thick with silver threads so it's perfect for an evening event. Comfortable and slimming. For reference, I'm 5'2", 118 lbs

Stretchy jumpsuit for date night
Fuzzi tends to run small. I rented a Medium and it was slightly snug. I'm 5'2", 118 lbs and the outfit hugged my body. Thank goodness it was a stretchy material. I think this would not be a good fit for a person with a longer torso. It's a great print and can be worn on evening dates or daytime lunches.

Kept me warm on a cool day
The picture doesn’t do this justice. The size 42 fit me well as I’m between a 4 and 6. I rolled the sleeves up to give it a more casual look. The outfit has a gathered skirt and drop down waist. If you are big in the hips and butt, this would make you look even wider/bigger. If I was going to buy this jumpsuit, I would hem it as it was a little too long for me. For reference, I’m 5’2” and ``8 lbs.

Had to do a presentation and wore this dress. After watching myself on the video, I was dismayed at the busyness of the print. I don't know why but it doesn't show up well on camera. I rolled the sleeves up to look less formal, belted the waist and wore light colored ankle boots. It made the dress less frumpy-looking. For reference, I'm 5'2", 118 lbs.

Perfect for Opening Night at local theatre
My local theatre had an Opening Night performance of Cinderella. It was perfect bc the night was warm and the fabric was lightweight. The only problem I had with it was that the neckline hung kind of weird. It looked like it was falling open and I had to stand up very upright or else my strapless bra would show.
