I am usually a 4 but I have big hips, so I wear a 6 or an 8 in a pencil skirt. How tight was it?

I'd rent the 6 and 8 at least.  Maybe an 8 and 10.  It was pretty fitted.  However, if it's a bit too tight, the part that hangs down will mask it fairly well. 

I rented this dress for a New Years Eve party.  This was my first rental and I was a bit nervous because there were no reviews.  The dress came in right on time and in great condition.  I steamed it before our party just to get the very few wrinkles from shipping out.  It is a beautiful dress and very well made.  The fabric is a nice weight and lays well and it is a lovely, deep pink.  Being a red head, I never wear pink but I think this color would be flattering on anyone.  I ordered the UK 8 and 10 and was expecting to wear the 8.  I'm almost always a 2 or smaller in dresses but the 8 was too tight to even zip.  The 10 fit perfectly though.  The picture makes it look like it's simply an A-line skirt but it's really a straight skirt underneath with draping that falls down the sides.  You can't wear a bra because of the way it cuts down low under the arms so I did some stick on petals and it was fine.  Loved the dress and the rental process!  I'll definitely do this again!

This was a replacement dress after my original became unavailable. I usually wear between a size 4 and 6, but as the size 6 equivalent was already booked, I took a chance with the UK10/US4. It worked, but was extremely snug. I would definitely recommend sizing up as a backup for this dress, especially if you have hips. As other reviewers said, the actual dress does not look like the photo on this site--the dress is a fitted sheath, with two pleated panels on the sides. The way the top is cut makes a strapless bra visible, so I wore a sticky bra. The fabric is fairly thick, and it feels high quality. Overall, this is a great dress if you're looking for something different and fun.

This is a beautifully made dress. Don't be thrown off by UK sizing - I am pear shape and usually wear a size 6 or 8 dress in the US. Very float and good for dancing. Only weird thing is the side boob fit makes it hard to wear a strapless bra - go for stickies or nothing if you can! Got lots of compliments!

I loved this dress.  I wore it to a November wedding.  It was so much fun to dance in and my boyfriend loved it.  The material is lovely and heavy, very well made, non-tacky pink color.  The side panels were a really cool unique twist.  They got a little wrinkled on the car ride to the wedding but the wrinkles fell out later. I wore a sticky bra, and I'm really small chested, so didn't fill the top out super well - but I got over that.  Altogether amazing dress!

I normally wear a 2 or 4 and I wore the 4 in this dress. The color is amazing, and although the neckline was a tad constricting, it was so beautiful. I received many compliments, and am so glad I rented this dress!

This dress is pretty but I decided not to wear it because the fit was off. It was just small all around. Pretty color, though!!!

Beautiful dress, fabric, etc., but photo is misleading. Full skirt seen in photo is actually two side panels that do not meet and stay in the front like that. They lie to either side of the dresses full skirt, which is straight and actually much shorter. I'm 5'5" and wanted a dress that hit at the knee. The underskirt, which is what is visible when worn, hit mid-thigh. Design is beautiful, but not for me and so I returned without wearing. The dress fit perfectly in all ways but length. One note — the pressing of dress was poor, and the lining on the outer panels was pressed out at the hem. I would have had to have it re-pressed before wearing … 

I ordered this dress for a wedding, and I admit I am not familiar with British sizing, so I went off the only two reviews there were at the time and ordered a 10.  Luckily I had ordered a different dress from RTR (the Nicole Miller Wall Street Woman Dress in a 2), and that other one fit perfectly.  The 10 was way too large for me.  I probably should have probably rented the 6 and 8.  I didn't care for the side panels that hung longer than the dress, so I probably wouldn't order this dress again.  The color was really pretty though.
