Dramatic
In a good way
Red Cape Top
Prabal Gurung x RTR
Size Worn: 12
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 4"
Cute and functional for a night dancing
Loved having free hands. The purse holds quite a bit, but is small. Not a knockout, but a nice black leather bag.
Black Ines Soft Triangle Pouch
3.1 Phillip Lim Accessories
Size Worn: 0
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 4"
Everyday jeans
Comfy and cute. Do stretch out a little after a couple of wears, but not terribly.
Grey Olivia High Rise Jeans
Citizens of Humanity
Size Worn: 31
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 4"
Great dress, but runs large
I would size down for a more fitted look next time. My husband loved this dress, but I felt it could have been more snug, especially in the chest and upper back.
Mardelle Dress
Ronny Kobo
Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 4"
Bright and flattering
Great summer dress.
Printed Smocked Dress
Tory Burch
Size Worn: MR
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 4"
Love it in theory, but found it uncomfortable
Large in the bust and couldn't wear a bra, tight in the ribs/upper abdomen. Very full/heavy skirt. I felt pretty wearing it, but I couldn't wait to get it off bc it wasn't the most comfortable.
Rosemary Halter Dress
Mara Hoffman
Size Worn: 10R
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 4"
Got compliments but felt like a cupcake
Think that sums it up!
Seersucker Trifecta Top
Viva Aviva
Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 4"
Huge
Has the potential to be cute but is so baggy - especially on top. Not even pins or tape could help. Sad I didn't get to wear this one. Size way down!
Linen Button Jumpsuit

Hot!
Loved wearing this and got tons of compliments. I'd recommend sizing down one size. I'm normally an 8-10 and got the 10; I wish I'd gotten the 8 because the back of the dress is a stretchy material and I think the smaller size would have held my chest in place better. All worked out well with a few strategic pins. Felt sexy all night!
Leopard Bow Dress
Rebecca Taylor NYC
Size Worn: 10R
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 4"
Eh
Fine but nothing special. Lovely color.
Anaheim Dress
Amanda Uprichard
Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 4"
Would have given this five stars and bought it, but...
I love the fit and look of this shirt. Love. However, after wearing it for less than an hour it started to smell like someone else's sweat. It was pretty gross. That's the downside to RTR - you never know how many times a garment has been worn, and dry cleaning only goes so far with stubborn odors... Again, I loved the shirt - just wish it was newer.
Taccora Deluxe Shirt
Zadig & Voltaire
Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 4"
Cute!
Wore these for an event where I was running around and on my feet all day. These were cute and comfortable, but didn't hold their shape particularly well. At they end of the day they were stretched out in the waist, crotch and knees and were no longer as flattering. They were super soft and comfy all day though, and a bit nicer than a typical black jean when you factor in the ankle detail.
Ruby High Rise Crop Jeans
J BRAND
Size Worn: 30
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 4"
Edgy comfort
Perfect with leather skinnies and black flats for a weeknight drink in the neighborhood. Felt edgy but still v comfy.
Oversize Stripe Shirt
The Kooples
Size Worn: 3
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 4"
Compliments all day at a work event
Wore this to a 12 hour shoot in 90+ heat. It was cool and comfy all day and I got tons of compliments. Runs large on top for sure. I'd have this tailored if I owned it bc I thought the bottom fit perfectly.
Consuela Wrap Dress
Mara Hoffman
Size Worn: LR
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 4"
Easy and fun
This dress is huge and shapeless so just be ready for that. I actually found that to be a great thing for hiding bloat or eating pasta in style. Got compliments.
Anya Feline Shirtdress
AllSaints
Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 4"
Fun
This dress is fun to wear and I love the open back. The pockets made my hips look bigger than they are, but I still enjoyed the dress and would wear it again.
Loveless Printed Midi Dress
Free People
Size Worn: 10R
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 4"
Fine
A fine option to have during transitional months. Nothing to write home about and I think this would work better on a taller person. Cuts me off in a weird place.
Soft Bomber Jacket
VINCE.
Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 4"
Dorky.
This is just a dorky sweater. Fits fine. I think it's the color and the width of the ribbing...
Military Blue V-Neck Pullover
Derek Lam 10 Crosby
Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 4"
Very flattering
I love the fit of these - they makemake me feel super skinny and the waist band hits at just the right spot to stay put without being extremely high waisted. The wash is a little casual, but I still love em.
Deep Willows Farrah Jeans
AG
Size Worn: 29
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 4"
Pop
Wore this out for drinks and everyone who saw me in it said some variation of "I love that coat, it really makes your features pop." Also comfy and warm.
Tomato Ruby Coat
Trina Turk
Size Worn: 8
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 4"
Cute for work
Feels like a sweatshirt but looks a bit fancier. Ideal work attire, if you ask me!
Tie Detailed Pullover
Clu
Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 4"
Cute
Wore these for a casual night out and was comfy and felt cute. Ordered two sizes up after reading other reviews and these fit perfectly.
Washed Onyx Pereh Jeans
Joie
Size Worn: 31
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 4"
Stylish coat
I really like this coat. It's very stylish despite being just a grey coat. It fits TTS everywhere except my hips where I am especially curvy. It still fits there, but it's snug. I think a size up would have looked absurd on my shoulders since the shoulder is already quite a boxy fit. This was a fun and practical rental - I got a lot of use out of this coat while I had it.
Champagne Oversized Double Breasted Coat
HALSTON
Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 4"
Nothing special, really
Nice black sweater. No real shape (perhaps I should have sized down) and found the bottom ended at the largest part of my hips, so not particularly flattering unless you're wearing all black so it's less noticeable. With that said it's super comfy and a black sweater is such a versatile piece - I've worn it multiple times. It's easy to throw on and go.
Draped Mock Neck Sweater
BROWN ALLAN
Size Worn: L
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 4"
I should have gone a size down
Super comfy but too big to be flattering. I actually have jeans in this brand that are a size down, so this was a personal failure - I should have known better! I usually love the way this brand fits and will probably try this style again in the right size eventually.
Luna Mini Split Jeans
3x1
Size Worn: 30
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 4"
I don't want to give this back
Goes with everything, looks smart and fashionable, endless compliments. Not particularly warm, though, because there's not much of a closure. If I could justify wearing this coat for longer than a few weeks out of the whole year, I would buy it. But really it only works for the several weeks in fall when the weather is cold enough for a heavier coat but warm enough that you can leave it open.
Oversized Wool Blanket Coat
VINCE.
Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 4"
Cute
Material is paper-like which makes this top wrinkle super easily even after steaming. The baby pink color and the tented shape are both not choices I'd usually make in a shirt, and neither did much to make me feel particularly attractive to be honest. But the shirt is comfortable and on trend.
Rose Pink Poplin Top
Tibi
Size Worn: 10

Like it, don't love it
Very eye catching and different, but not particularly flattering
