Longer than I'd like
The dress is great, and the colors are even prettier in person. The fit is as expected but was definitely too long for my petite self. It's also very easy to accidentally flash someone with the cowl neck design. I'd recommend some fashion tape.

BEWARE: THIS IS NOT A DRESS THIS IS A POTATO SACK
This is lemon yellow (unlike the picture) and absolutely enormous. There's only so much that poor belt can do. The XS fits more like a medium or size 6-8. And even if it fit correctly, it's the ugliest dress I've ever seen. The lemony color looks sickly and it's completely see through--to the point that you can see the tags (which you obviously can't cut out). I love RTR with my whole heart, but I've never seen a dress a bad. DO NOT RENT.

Near perfect jumpsuit!
This jumpsuit was incredible! Overall the fit was great, and I received plenty of compliments. The only negative was that the crotch was weirdly 3 to 4 inches too low. But, since you couldn't really tell when I was standing, it wasn't too much of an issue. I wore this with a strapless bra, but the material is thick enough to wear braless if you want to.

World's least flattering pockets
If you are tall and slender this actually might be a fun, structured-but-feminine dress for you. If you are not tall and slender this dress is all hips.

Beware: this dress is enormous
The 0P fit like a 4R so size down if you decide to rent. Even with 4.5" heels the dress dragged another 2 inches on the ground. Plus, the dress was super loose so it hung awkwardly. The material was nice but the fit honestly looked like something from Walmart. Overall it was very unflattering. I do not recommend.

Perfect black tie dress!
This dress fit perfectly which is surprising because it was regular length, not petite. I'm 5'0" and wore it with 4" heels, and it didn't drag. Also, you do have to wear a strapless bra with this dress.

Nice dress but I wouldn't rent it again
Looks a little like chainmail/armor but still cute. The shoulders of the dress didn't sit quite right because I didn't have enough shoulder to fill it out, and shoulder-to-bicep section of the sleeves were baggy. The sleeves were too long so I had to roll about 3 inches of the sleeve under itself which was super uncomfortable due to the sequins. But other than the slight fit problems, the dress was great. Easy to dance in and no bra needed.

Great, just more formal than I needed
I received this and one other clutch after the clutch that I actually ordered mysteriously couldn't be delivered. This one ended up being too formal and too bling-y for the wedding I was attending, so I chose the other. That said, the item is beautiful and would be good for other events.

I can't tell you how pretty this color is!!
I rented this as my free birthday dress and was honestly surprised just how much I loved it. I'm sorry I don't have a photo of the whole dress, but it fit perfectly (5'0" 105lbs size 0) and hit just above my knee. The vivid teal color is just stunning. The material is sturdy but not quite thick enough to go bra-less. I wore a strapless bra and didn't have any problems with it showing. Highly recommend!

Perfect for a formal summer wedding!
This dress fit perfectly with 4.5" wedges! I'm only 5'0", and this is the only gown I've rented from RTR that didnt drag on the ground. The dress was comfortable, flattering, and the flowers were super unique. I would definitely rent it again!

NOT for petite women
This dress runs huge. The dress waist sat about an inch lower than my natural waist, and there was a ton of excess material at the top which caused the dress to pucker and show my stomach (see last photo). Overall it was very baggy and unflattering, and I did not wear it.

Great cocktail dress for a gala
Apologies for the low quality photo and bad lighting. This dress was absolutely awesome. It was a good length (I'm 5'0" and the XS hit at mid-thigh) and has a fun low back. And, thanks to the sequins, jewelry isn't really necessary; you can just throw on the dress and be good to go. It's a very low-hassle but polished look. With the low back, I went bra-less and didn't have a problem.

Wore this to an award ceremony and loved it!
I loved the design of this dress! It was comfortable and flattering, and I thought it looked very sophisticated with the deep purple color and modern cut-outs. The only (slight) downside was that it was too long. I have a hard time believing this is actually a Petite because I'm 5'0" and wearing 4.75" heels, and there was still about 2 inches of the dress dragging on the ground. That being said, I still loved it and would definitely rent it again. Highly recommend!

I love the fun geometric design and size of the earrings! They are large enough to be noticeable but aren't too heavy.

Great dress - Just not for shorter women
This dress is bright, fun, and a real attention grabber. Unfortunately, this doesn't come in a Petite 0, and the 0R was WAY too long, so I couldn't wear it. I'm 5'0" so it wasn't that surprising, but it was about 4 inches long with 4.5 inch heels on. The dress is gorgeous though, so for my average height and taller ladies out there, I would highly recommend.

Way better than a standard LBD!
This dress has a beautiful texture, fun ruffles, and an open back! The material is thick and perfect for a fall wedding. It hit a couple inches above my knee and is very petite-friendly. I wore it without a bra and had no issues.

Unexpected dress texture; More casual than expected
This dress was just OK. The color was great for an early September barn wedding and photographed well, but the material was not what I expected. It seems to be a thick cotton material with horizontal ribbing (pictured). That texture threw me off and made the dress much more casual than I was expecting. Also, for my petite ladies, this dress gapes a bit at the armpit/chest area if your torso is too short. For me (5'0" 105lbs) the length and waist were perfect, but I really needed my shoulders to be like 1.5 inches higher than where God put them. Overall, the dress was fine, and I enjoyed wearing it, but I wouldn't rent it again.

This purse would go with anything!
I really wish I owned this purse! I wore it with a herve leger dress (not pictured) to a wedding and it went perfectly. It's a sleek design that added a little glam without overpowering the rest of the look. It fit my ID, credit card, room key, phone, lipstick, and a couple tampons. I wanted to carry powder with me too, and it technically fit, but I felt the bag bulged with the extra item so I didn't bring it.

Sexy but still tasteful
I loved wearing this dress, and found it to be pretty sexy without being too showy or inappropriate. It photographed really well too! I'm 5'0" and 105 lbs. and wore the XS. It was definitely tight (tighter than any dress I've worn before), but not uncomfortable and hit just above the knee. I would have worn the small, but it's larger in all directions, so it came about an inch and a half below my knee and didnt lie flat against my chest. My favorite part of the dress was the color. It was vivid and attention-grabbing without being over the top. The only slight negative was that the arm holes were stretched out and hung awkwardly. Overall I would highly recommend this dress!

Very comfortable and flattering dress!
This dress is extremely comfortable and light. It was perfect for a summer wedding, and very flattering. I received several compliments on the dress including one just as I was leaving from a woman who told me she had been admiring my dress all night long! The only negative is that it's VERY LONG. I'm fairly short (5' 0") and wore the 0P with 5 inch wedges. That puts me at 5' 5" which is taller than 50% of American women (according to a quick google search), and there was still about 2 inches of the dress that dragged on the ground! The dress is gorgeous, and I would rent it again, but I've deducted 1 star because the length is kinda ridiculous for a "petite" dress.
