Straps run a little long for the less-busty
I'm a petite size 0 with a smaller bust and found the straps to be a little too long. I was already planning to style it layered over a tee when I ordered it, but I actually HAD to in order not to show any signs of a bra. I was in a rush the day I wore it, but if I had a bit more time I might have tried to pin the straps to be a bit shorter. Color and fabric were awesome though, and I'd consider renting again.

A true statement dress
This is the only thing I've ever rented that I would actually consider buying. I loved the drama of the cape! The dress did run a little big in my opinion -- I'm a true size 0 and I pinned it in at the waist to be a bit more flattering. The draping made it easy to hide my pinning perfectly. The fabric wasn't totally amazing as it was polyester, but I liked that it was lighter so the cape wasn't heavy.

Great fabric and cute cut
I loved the thickness of this fabric and how it was cut to flare out a bit. I am a true size 0, sometimes leaning toward 00, and probably could have worn a slightly smaller size, but it worked. I would probably rent again!

Sorry, petite gals; you'll flash everyone in this dress
You absolutely can't hide a bra in this dress. Was way too loose in the bust and therefore way too revealing on my petite frame.

Super cool, but runs very large in the waist
I loved this dress and tried really hard to make it work. Alas, I couldn't leave the house in it because I could hide how big it was. I'm a true size 0 with a slim waist, and even on the smallest grommet of the belt, it was just way too big. A perfect dress for ladies looking to enhance a thicker middle, though! Loved the patchwork look.

Missing top?
Apparently the top and skirt parts of this piece can be separated, because my order arrived as a tank dress with thin straps and a poplin skirt. I think this dress might be cute if it arrived intact. Renter beware, particularly if you're banking on wearing this to a particular event.
Poplin Crop Top Overlay Dress

A bit too long and heavy for petites
I'm a true size 0 US and in my opinion the size 4 runs a little large. I didn't end up wearing it out because no matter what I tried the skirt hung on my frame funny. It wasn't as voluminous as the RTR photos suggested. I also think it's a bit long for petites -- would be more flattering and voluminous if it were shorter/if I was taller!

Fun pattern clash
Wore this a couple of times around the holidays, -- to a work meeting and also on Christmas Day! Loved the different patterns and the bit of sparkle in the knit. A high-quality sweater that was thin enough to tuck into pants (my preference). I would rent it again!
