Legs are HUGE
Not the best for short and pear shaped. Legs would have been twice as wide as me

Fabric and fit beautiful, small up top
I was confused about the sizing given reviews were all over the place, and got a 42 / size 6 as that's typically my true size. I couldn't zip it up as it was too small up top (am a 34DD) and likely need to size up.

Chunky, thick sweater
This sweater is so thick and cozy - I wore it with a long sleeved shirt underneath and was very warm outside on a 40 degree day. Beware, though, that the arms are long and you have to roll it up a couple of times to fit. It's not the most flattering given it's thick and a crew neck; given I have boobs, I definitely looked way wider than I am. Still a good sweater, though, and S hit me at hip (I'm 5'2").
Popcorn Cable Wool Pullover

Size Worn: S
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 2"

Colors muted
Size was accurate and fit well on my 5'2" frame, but colors were not as vibrant as they look in the photo and it's only a mid weight sweater
Mashup Stripe Sweater

Bulky, tough material and LONG
I didn't realize this from the photos, but the sweater is a lighter navy blue than pictured. The fabric is super stiff and the arms are long. It fit awkwardly on me (pear, 5'2") and was bulky around the waist. All around not flattering.
Turtleneck Contrast Sweater

Long for short women
I'm 5'2" and curvy and this was a tough fit. It came down to mid thigh and was too light to be a coat but too light and long to wear around as a normal sweater without getting weird looks. I wore it casually around the house bc I didn't want to confuse ppl at the office. Fit is lovely if a little wide, and those with a booty will find this tough to wear bc it's meant to have a streamlined fit (and this will wrap around unflatteringly)
Colorblock Romare Cardigan

Bulky pockets
The length, size and sleeves were a perfect fit for 5'2", but the pockets around the waist made this super bulky and made me look wide. It would be great for a very slim person but just added weight to my midsection.

So tiny!
I'm 5'2", 130 lbs the 4 came one inch below my butt. Impossible to wear anywhere!

Runs small up top
Great dress for petites (I'm 5'2" and it hit me mid thigh), lovely print, but I'm a 34DD and the top was way too small. Returned.

Bust: 32DD
Runs HUGE
This jacket is well made and the fabric is lovely. Its the right length for petites and even the sleeve length is good. Unfortunately it's also twice as wide as it is long, so I found it too large to wear without lioking ridiculous. I literally had at least 6 inches of extra fabric on each side and I got the XS

Cozy but itchy
Cute sweater and right length for petites. This hit me slightly above the hip (I have a long torso). The fabric looks lovely - a grey/white with black flecks, and goes great with solid pants for work. However, as others have mentioned, it is super itchy. Even though I wore a shirt under, I found myself clawing at my neck the entire day because the turtleneck is quite irritating.

So short and runs small
I'm 5'2" and rented this for work, but there was no way I could have worn it bc it was the length of a clubbing dress. It hit me at above mid thigh and the sleeves are huge and voluminous - think bell sleeves cut at the bottom and tied together. Might work on a very slim petite woman but definitely not for anyone with curves.

Lovely, trendy but runs 3 inches too long even with 4" heels
While people have typically complimented me on RTR dresses, this just got...nothing, partly probably because it didnt fit right. The pictures turned out great (people thought it was a crop top!!) but in person it was just kind of meh. If you're petite, the Regular size ends up being too long and tough to walk around in. I'm 5'2", wore 4 inch heels and I still had a good 3 inches of fabric that would get stuck in my heels as I walked. I had to tie up the dress awkwardly in the middle just so I could get around. I loved the illusion crop top, but the visible zipper in the back has a tendency to bunch up. I'd order again if a Petite size were available, but I regretted not having a short dress all night.
Waltz Dress

Runs big - size down for a good fit
While this had the opportunity to be a unique jacket, I ordered the small and it was just overwhelming on my 5'2" frame. The front ruffles are actually much larger than pictured, and the sleeves were too long. It hit me at hip length, which combined with the volume of the jacket, made it impossible to wear without looking like a frumpy mom. I would size down if I had the chance to replace.

Runs big, better for 5'4" and up
I'm 5'2", 125 lbs and a 32DD with bigger hips / thighs and smaller up top. This fit all wrong for a short gal - too baggy and loose up top, with the waist hitting at my hip instead of at my waist. Sleeves were too long, and the drape in front stuck out like a sail. I wanted to wear it for work but it was just too ill-fitting.
