Loved this post, it was a huge help! I downloaded Pickle, but I have to wonder how you were able to find fellow shorties. They have size filters; I wish they had height filters. I'm 5'0" and the petite woman tax (alterations) is what turned me onto secondhand shopping.
Try creating a post on “Looking For,” and write your height along with deets on the occasion you’re renting for (black tie, Italy, 5’ 0”, wearing 3” heels) Shorties wanting to rent out their clothes will find ya! Good luck 🧡
Thank you for sharing the rental resources! I love online resale platforms but haven't tried renting yet. As for the destination wedding, I'd say go anywhere you can make a vacation out of 🤭
Which resale platforms do you like? I get nervous about buying secondhand online because I'll feel bad returning if it doesn't fit.. but I'd like to be more adventurous this year 🤠
That's true, it is always a bit of a risk. I guess I play it on the safe side by looking for brands I already know or buying things that don't need to be super fitted. Poshmark is currently my favorite. When I lived in the UK depop and vinted were more popular.
Somehow just seeing this in April, but incredible roundup of how to find a secondhand or rental dress.
Aww thank you 🥹
Just in time for Earth Day though!
Thank you for mentioning our sister app Gem!
So many of these were new to me except RtR! Excited to try Pickle in particular
Pickle is chaotic but I love how human it feels!

I live in Pittsburgh! Where's the wedding?! Check out my food recs here if you need some! https://garlicpressjess.substack.com/p/fftf-pittsburgh-food-recs-the-breakfastbakerycaf
Renting clothes has been crucial for me during pregnancy/postpartum for special events! Makes dressing during that time more fun!
It'll be at The Maverick! Thanks so much for the recs, it's my first time and I've heard such good things I'd like to stay for a couple days <3

The dress you bought in Barcelona, oh my god!!! That drop waist, everything about it is just perfection xx
Right?! I did feel ridiculous buying a white dress with no occasion in sight, but no regrets! Thanks for validating my impulse purchase 🥹
Great read! Love this. Wedding in Italy this summer, always a yes from me.
la dolce vita! I'm envious
