I LOVED this skirt. I wore it to a fall wedding and it was different and fun. I am usually a 6 but it ran slightly small so I wore the 8. I wore with a black body suit and it was the perfect mix of sexy/casual. Would definitely rent again, not even for an event but just because. 

I rented this skirt for a bridal shower, but I literally wore it all three days I had it, it was that awesome! It fit like a glove, true to size, and I got so many compliments on it. I will either rent it again, or buy it. Two thumbs up!!

Wore this on Mother's Day to play mini golf with my daughters and fiancé. Then went to dinner after. It was perfect! Not too dressy for the afternoon but nice enough to wear to dinner afterwards and made me feel pretty! Super comfortable and fit perfectly. I'm 5'7" and it wasn't too short which I was worried about. The fabric was a little heavier than expected but I was glad because it was windy! I love it so much I wanted to keep it! This was my first order from RTR and I loved it! 

I thought the length was great, I'm 5'3" but I also love my heels so it worked well together. A little on the tight side but I may have had to many chicken wings the night before.  Loved it so much that I am trying to find it to buy!! 

Wore this to a musical and nice dinner out. It was super comfortable but also really cute. Husband really liked that it was fitted in the butt area and had a sexy front slit, but was still formal enough to wear to the theatre. Paired it with a tight white tank and black cardigan and some low wedges.

I liked it so much I bought it... enough said. 

I rented the 2R and 4R as a backup size; I ended up wearing the 2R. The 2R fit fine since it was high-waisted, but would've been too tight if I had tried to wear it around the hips. I'm 5'7 so the only thing I wished was that the 2R would've been a little longer. The 4R was a perfect length, but too large in the waist. I would definitely rent this skirt again. It would be perfect for a Luau themed party, beach party or vacation. 

Beautiful skirt, amazing color and print. My typical size 2 fit perfectly. For a backup size, I'd recommending sizing up. The high waisted silhouette is comfortable and works well with a crop top or tucked in tank. The front slit makes it easy to wear even if it's a little short. At 5'7" the length was a little longer than my ankles (it did not touch the floor).  Great for vacation or spring/summer. 

Wore for thanksgiving dinner. Lots of compliments. 

I loved the little buttons down the front and the flowing fabric. The colors are really bright and pretty. Fit great, just a little long, but I'm very short. Great for many occasions!

Ideally I would have liked to rent a size 2, but it wasn't available. I ordered the 0 and 4. They only sent the 4 because the 0 was apparently unavailable to. I was SO disappointed. I almost always wear a two or 0 so I was sure the 4 would be too big. Although it was I pinned it in a few places and made it work. I'm only 5' and this made me look tall with 4" heels. Would love to rent again in a smaller size

The print of this skirt was super pretty, and I loved the slit up the front. However it was a tighter fit in the waist area than I am used to for maxi skirts. I would definitely size up, but still a great rental for a more casual affair. 

I wore this skirt to a Hawaiian themed rehearsal dinner. My photo does not do the skirt justice.  It is even more beautiful in person. The slit in the front makes the skirt flow beautifully when you walk. I had a blast wearing this! I wore flat sandals with it and it was the perfect length for me. The fit was perfect, even after eating all evening. 

The skirt fit beautifully. I'm 5'2" - it was a little long but nothing too onerous. It was perfect for an outdoor wine tour.

While I didn't fall in love with this skirt, it was prefect for a bachelorette weekend in Austin. 

The skirt is very flowy but fits high on your waist and is very flattering. The colors are very vibrant and I received tons of compliments. 

Wore this for a Bridal party early August and I loved it! It isn't stretchy but it fit really well and it was long enough to wear with heals although I went with flat sandals. I received lots of compliments and it felt really flowy and fun! It has a little flare that gets a lot of attention. I wore it with a different print cropped shirt because I wanted to mix it up and make it interesting. Would love to keep this skirt. It really is gorgeous!

love the look with a crop!! thanks for sharing! 

Very cute skirt! Wore with a crop top and flat sandals. It hit just at my belly button and lengthwise just brushed above my feet. I do think it runs small. I'm usually a 4 and wore a 6 in this. Ordered a 6 after reading reviews on it running small 

This skirt's print is so beautiful. Received many compliments. The waist was a little snug on me and there's no stretch. The slit in the front (which comes up mid thigh, mind you), the pleats and dropped hem give it this great flowy movement when you walk. I'm 5'3'' and had to wear my highest heels (5'' with platform), so that it wouldn't touch the floor. I'll rent this one again.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this skirt! Rent it NOW! I just ordered it from FreePeople so I can wear it forever! Pics don't do it justice! The color, fit, flounce, slit, everything was PERFECT! It was also comfortable to travel in. I wore it on the plane and it was great!

I wore this to a rehearsal dinner and ordered it as my second style for my main dress, so I wasn't given a back up size. I ordered the 10 because a lot of reviews suggested it, but I wish I didn't. It is definitely cut tight in the hips/stomach but because I sized up it wasn't snug on my waist and that looked strange. I tried to wear it as shown with a tight black tank, but it didn't look right with the loose waist. Luckily I had the white blouse tank that worked perfectly with it. It is such a fun skirt! I got tons of compliments!

For well, though yes does hug you so if you're hiding your tummy, you might want to size up. I found the high waist line and print to camouflage my "wine belly". It opens some in the front and is very comfortable. A summery skirt with a little sex appeal. Great piece. 

I rented this for my Mexican fiesta themed bridal shower. Although I went with another outfit that was all white (you're only a bride once, right?), I am renting this again for my bachelorette party and honeymoon! The fabric is gorgeous and the fit is flattering. The slit gives it a little something extra. 

I typically wear a size 6 or 8 on the bottom. The six was not available and some of the reviews mentioned that the skirt had little give so I figured it would work out. I ended up wearing it as part of a more casual outfit and it was fine. The print is beautiful and I love the button details down the front. Perhaps the six would have been a perfect fit for a more formal outfit – would definitely consider renting again in a size down.

This is a gorgeous skirt & can be dressed up or down. Completely recommend it

This skirt is so beautiful in person! I rented it for an anniversary party (worn with a black silk top) but I loved it so much I had to wear it again. Loved it styled with a chambray top and sandals. I thought it ran a little small as I'm 5'3" and it was the perfect length on me with flats. Also the skirt has no give up top but the 2 fit perfectly. There was a little zipper issue with the skirt I got but it didn't cause a problem. Rent this! I may still have to purchase this skirt. 

Runs slightly small, I wore the 6 over the size 4 for a more comfortable fit on the hips while sitting and better length.  The 4 was slightly too short with wedges (I'm 5'7"). The color is vibrant and gorgeous- fitted at the top with gorgeous movement at the bottom.  There is also a large slit in the front up to the buttons. I immediately went online and bought this skirt!

Wore this to a concert with a navy crop top I also rented from RTR. I got so many compliments on this outfit! I wore it with a statement necklace.
Beware it is tight on the tummy but nothing that some good shape wear can't fix ;)

I got a lot of nice compliments all night. The fit was great and it was slimming. The slip added a little something extra. 

This definitely ran small I usually wear a six and I wore an eight that fit but could have fit a little better! It looked super cute though for a chilly spring evening! 

I wanted a different look/style for a friend's wedding and this skirt was perfect! It runs VERY true to size, absolutely no stretch, but it did fit nicely around my hips and bum. The full line of tiny buttons and split skirt halfway down were great details for a little extra flair. Love the color and bold print. Would rent again/ purchase. 

I can't begging to say how happy I was with this rental. The colors were amazing the texture was so rich. In this skirt fit pretty exact with my bigger bottom. Beware this dress does have a high slit in the middle but that makes this skirt so much more sexy. Loved it! 

I wore this skirt for my friends bridal shower and loved it! I loved how the skirt flowed and had a slit in the center for a touch of sexiness. I am always afraid to rent longer skirts/dresses because I am only 5"3 and everything is too long, but not this skirt. Length was perfect with wedges. I felt great and got a ton of compliments! 

Perfect fit! Worn with wedge, and crop top. Skirt is a little high waisted and VERY true to size. No give around waist. Many compliments! 

Love the skirt, easy piece to add to any closet, can be worn many different ways!  So comfortable, cute paired with flats and a casual top! Tight around waist and stomach, so wise not to eat thanksgiving dinner in it!

Fit perfectly, but if you have any stomach at all that might be visible. Loved pairing it with a black t-shirt!

Fit great! There is a zipper on the side, which I wish I would've notice before undoing all those buttons :) Fits very well in the booty and high on the waist for a  flattering look. 

This skirt was perfect.  I would love to own it.  It was so comfortable and was an ideal fit.  I loved that the opening was in the front and the buttons were beautiful! It's true to size for sure, but I'm sure you could easily wear 3 sizes - meaning: I wore the 4 and it fit perfectly, but I probably could have dealt with the 6 by wearing it lower or the 2 by wearing a little higher.  If you can't get 2 sizes, don't sweat it.
