Cotton, not merino
The description lists this as merino wool, but it's actually a thick cotton. It's soft and comfortable while still looking polished. Would rent again.

Size up!
I love the style and quality of this skirt, but it fits very small. I usually wear a 29 and ordered a 30 - it's still quite tight in the waist. I probably would have preferred a 31.

Brando 2020 Mini Skirt
One Teaspoon
Size Worn: 30
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 0"
Weight: 135lbs
Bust: 34B
Colorful and comfortable
Wore this on the weekend with white sneakers and felt chic and comfortable all day. I do recommend sizing up - I usually wear an 8/M but ordered an L. It was still pretty tight when I first put it on, but the knit material stretched out during the day.

Chakra Waves Mini Dress
Nicole Miller
Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 8

Love the sleeves
The purchase price for this is a little more than I'd usually spend on a top, but I might cave and buy it anyway. The sleeves are lovely and feminine without being overwhelming. The fabric is lightweight and comfortable. I would suggest sizing down - I usually wear an 8, but the 6 fit perfectly (even over my large hips).

Floral Flutter Sleeve Top

Comfortable and fun; size up
I usually wear a medium or size 8, but I'm glad I rented the large in this dress. Even in the larger size, it was slightly tight on my hips, but stretched out a little as I wore it. The color is really fun and perfect for spring. Easy to pair with a denim jacket, sandals, or sneakers.

Coral Sweatshirt Dress
Hervé By Hervé Léger
Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 0"
Weight: 135lbs
Bust: 34B
Flattering & comfortable
If this were a little less expensive, I'd probably buy it. The fabric is a lightweight stretch knit, really comfortable to wear. I thought the cut was very flattering for a pear shape, with the knot detail at the waist. Surprisingly not too long for me at 5'0" - a nice midi length.

Comfortable and cute
I wore this dress for Thanksgiving with black ankle boots. I went up one size given the reviews and was glad I did. It was still fairly fitted and flattering in the top, but comfortably loose across my stomach and hips. Loved the color!

Hatti T-Shirt Dress
AllSaints
Size Worn: 10R
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 0"
Weight: 135lbs
Bust: 34B
Comfortable and great fit for petites
I'm only 5'0", so this dress was a great length on me - came to just above my knee. The cotton fabric made it comfortable even on hot days. The ties are a little funny, as other reviewers have mentioned - there's only one string coming out of each side. I made a slip knot with a large loop on each side, which looked OK and worked well to give the dress some shape. Between the eye-catching color and the fit, I got lots of compliments!

Floral Ruffle Shift Dress
Thakoon x RTR

Usual Size: 8

Good quality, comfortable fit
I am pear-shaped with thick thighs, so I often have trouble with the leg opening of shorts being too tight. Not a problem at all with these overalls - I rented my normal pants size (29) and there was plenty of room in the legs and hips to be comfortable.

Really unfortunate rear slit
The fit and quality of this dress was great, but the rear slit made it honestly unwearable. Even as a short person, my butt was completely exposed when standing normally. I'm not sure what the designer was thinking!

Petit Rogue Denim Dress
Trina Turk
Size Worn: 10
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 0"
Weight: 135lbs
Bust: 34B
Comfortable and stylish
I've rented this sweater twice and have worn it multiple times during each rental. It's definitely casual rather than "runway style", and I don't think the quality is terribly high (e.g. there are un-trimmed threads around the armholes). But it's easy to throw it on and feel a bit more stylish while still being totally comfortable.

Ansley Scarf Cardigan
B Collection by Bobeau
Size Worn: ONESIZE
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 0"

Bust: 34B
Nice style and quality, but they run very small!
I got these jeans brand-new with tags still on (in March 2020). I like the style and cut; I think they're meant to be cropped, but since I'm 5'0", they came just to my ankle. Unfortunately they ran *very* small. I'm a true size 29/8, and while I could button the jeans, they were tight and uncomfortable. Since they're a thick cotton, they might relax as they get more wear... but at least if renting within the next few months, I'd recommend sizing up.

Great style but unstructured
Love the style of this bag and the high-quality leather. The size also works well for me; I like large bags and can throw whatever I need into this one. The bag has almost no internal organization, though--just one very small slip pocket near the bottom. That coupled with the unstructured style can make it hard to find things inside the bag. Still, would rent again!

Great style but wrinkles easily
Great fit for a pear shape. I'm smaller-chested, but the wrap style was flattering and made me look more proportional. I loved the print, but found the fabric wrinkled very easily, and by the end of the day there are lots of horizontal creases across the dress.

Cute style, but too large
I rented a medium, but might have been better off with a small. The large sleeves, combined with the boxy cut of the body, made this top overwhelming on me.

Cute and comfortable
I'm pear-shaped and petite, so found the medium to fit well in the hips, but it was a bit loose in the waist and low-cut in the top. It was still very cute and comfortable for a spring date night!

Flattering for petites
As a pear-shaped petite person, I found the high back and diagonal fronts of this blazer very flattering. The shape minimized my hips and didn't overwhelm my frame. Would definitely rent again.
