Fun mini
This was my back up for a holiday party so I didn't end up wearing it - but it was comfortable, flattering, and something I would rent again! I am 5'1" - typically between a size 2 and 4 - and rented this in the small.

A Million Compliments
Wore this dress to my company holiday party and it was a showstopper. Nonstop compliments at the event, on social media, and even the following Monday in the office. I'm petite, so the length came down to my ankle. I also find that I live somewhere between a size 2 and a size 4, and a size 2 on this fit pretty perfectly. I wasn't able to wear the strapless bra I had on hand, so I went without. Highly recommend!

Modern Western
I typically find C/MEO to run a little small, but this shirt was large, definitely could've sized down, plus the sleeves were VERY exaggerated. I felt they overwhelmed my petite frame. Despite my dissatisfaction with the fit, I received several compliments from strangers.

Pretty + good length for petites
Dress was very pretty if not the most flattering, but worked well for 100 degrees Texas weather. Wore with 3 inch heels (I'm 5'1") and the length seemed to work. Wore for a baby shower (mom-to-be also wore RTR).

It has pockets
Ran a bit big, and lots of length in the shorts as others have stated. Good, not great, but comfortable and I received a few compliments from friends. I think there is a possibility to size down due to the stretchy top and roomy shorts.

Not a good fit for petites
Way to big in the bust and the shoulder. I rented a small (I'm usually between a XS and a S) and my 34Bs were swimming. I tried, but couldn't figure out a way to make it work.

Texas Summer
Wore this dress several times during my month-long rental - it's a simple cotton dress. Not the most flattering, but keeps you cool when it's 100+ degrees, it's not lined. I think there is flexibility with sizes due to the stretchy top, and it fit my 5'1" height stopping at my ankles, making it easy to wear with flat sandals. I enjoyed it, but in no world would I think this dress is worth $300+. I rented a similarly shaped dress previously that I felt looked better and seemed of higher quality - THE GREAT scallop gingham clover dress.

Sent Back
Wanted to love this white jacket, but the small was too big, which made it unflattering, and I was surprised by the buttons at the wrist.

Tight in the hips - gaping at the waist
I knew ordering these would be risky, so I wasn't surprised that the fit was completely off for me - too tight in the hips, too big in the waist = enough room for my fist. Sent back immediately. I'm pear-shaped/ thicker on bottom 5'1" 119 lbs ordered my usual size (27/4). The length was OK.

Fun jumpsuit
I'm in between sizes these days, so I ordered the 4 which had a lot of room (could've probably fit into the 2) although I don't think it was noticeable in person or to anyone other than myself. Length was great for someone short like me (5'1"), I have it a quick steam before wearing.

Fun to try
Sized up to a 28 (usually a 27) per other reviews. It had a small gap at the waist, but found the jeans pretty snug through the hips. Length wasn't cropped on my 5'1" height, but short enough to wear with flats. Just OK, but fun to try out a denim trend and not have to commit.

Great for Texas summer
Forgive the awkward photo Loved this lightweight, comfortable dress - perfect for Texas summer, and a great length for shorties like me (I'm 5'1"). Received compliments both times i wore it. The only thing that could've made it better would've been pockets. Couldn't bring myself to spend $400 for a cotton dress, but I would've purchased had it been at a more reasonable price point.

Cowboy Chic Wedding
Received lots of compliments on this reformation dress. At 5'1 it was just the right length with 3 inch heels. I usually flux between a 2/4, ordered this in both 4/6 - ended up wearing the 4, but could have gone up to the 6 for a little more room (it just started to get a little large on top). The only complaint was that the wedding was about a 2 hour car ride and when I arrived after sitting in the dress it was significantly wrinkled.

It has pockets!
Not really my style but worked for a conservative fundraising event. Black band at the waist was snug - if in-between sizes I suggest going up a size. Also, I'm 5'1" so it could run short on taller ladies.

Pretty details
I'm 5'1" the jumpsuit came right to my ankles, plenty of room - could've possibly gone down a size, comfortable fit, lots of static-cling due to fabrication.

I'm only 5'1" and this short was extremely short in the torso, it went straight back.

Super flattering cut
Found the cut to be extremely flattering. The dress was brand new with tags. Some may find that it runs a little small - I found it to be really short (even on my 5'1" frame) so I paired it with tights. Considered buying it, but decided I didn't need another black dress it the closet. Wore it multiple times over the course of the month I had it, which doesn't always happen.

Cleobella Dress
The length was great - to my ankles - I'm 5'1". Careful with undergarments - I found there were some VPL. The lightweight fabric kept me surprisingly warm. Paired with a denim jacket to keep it from being too formal. I found it to be too low cut to wear a bra with, but I'm small busted and it didn't seem inappropriate.

Loved it!
Rented for a wedding - got tons of compliments on the dress both in person and on social media. It has great movement, and while the top was a bit big for me (I wore a size 4R and have a small bust) I didn't think it was very noticeable. I'm 5'1" and the length was perfect.

Used for both everyday and travel. Received compliments. Only complaint is that I could've used a few more inches of space for my laptop - I could only fit it in the bag without zipping it up

I knew I would be in tears the day I had to send this back
Loved it so much, I kept it. The size Small is a bit roomy for me, not sure how I would've done with an XS. The jacket has a good weight, soft leather, and amazing details. I got so many compliments and couldn't fathom sending it back.

Great pattern and unique shape
Much like other reviewers said - it's short. Real short. I wore it with tights, but even still, I coukdnt lift my arms up without exposing myself. It's also pretty low in front, so i wouldnt reccomend for busty women. Love the pattern and cut. I've recieved multiple compliments and theday is just getting started.
