I loved this skirt so much! I was worried about the length as it's much longer than skirts I've worn in the past; however, I ended up loving the longer length. It felt so feminine and pretty. I received so many compliments on my outfit (even after the event). If you are questioning this rental, stop right now. You'll love it. 

So, I was really nervous when I was reading the other reviews... But they were so wrong! 

I typically wouldn't wear a tea length dress due to the fact I'm 5 foot one inch tall and have a rather larger rump, but this dress was perfect! I was super nervous It was going to look ridiculous on my short in-proportional body I'm usually anywhere from a size two to six thanks to my size 0 bust and my size 6 butt. I went even further out of my comfort zone and got the size 2 skirt and the size 4 as a back up to the skirt. I ultimately ended up wearing the two(even though they both fit the the same the 2 was shorter and was a bit more flat fitting to my body. 

As for the top, the two was great... Almost wished I got the 0 so it would've showed a little more of a midriff! This is an awesome product! 

I only give it four stars because it is a dress out of my usual comfort zone. 

This is a really great two piece dress! 

This skirt was so flowy and pretty. I loved the way it moved when I walked. Such a nice print. 

Really cute and fun skirt, although it is quite full with lining and a tulle underskirt almost petticoat lining which is what I didn't want.  I have wider hips so I was hoping for a skirt that laid more like the photo.  It is also gathered at the waist a bit to further enhance the fullness.  Overall, really cute, but keep in mind for fuller hips this will definitely increase the fullness of the skirt.

I rented this with unlimited for work. It just didn't work for me. The skirt is quite shiny and looked more like a party skirt.  It was fuller than the picture. The waistband was a little tight, but I could have worn it. 

I received this skirt and matching top as a last minute backup when my preferred size in the outfit I had initially reserved became unavailable. 

The skirt is pretty tight in the waist, I would have been more comfortable in an 8. The fabric is thick but breathable and it holds its shape well, it's a cute 1950s silhouette. 

I didn't end up wearing this but would consider renting it in a larger size for another event. 

The fabric is heavy and shiny.  Not summery at all.   It also ran a little small in the waist (the only place the sizing matters on such a full skirt).

Skirt was full and the pleats weren't flattering on me. I know this is the nature of the skirt, but felt to "Housewife" in it. 

The top was a big long on me. I pinned it up a big because I did want part of my midriff to show.

Skirt waist ran small, but it looked good snug.  Top ran true to size.

Loved this top and bottom combo! Perfect for a Texas wedding.  The skirt runs pretty true to size and the top ran slightly large (see my review for the top separately).  The skirt had a layer of fabric (so it wasn't see through - added bonus) and tulle underneath which did wear a little warm in humidity.

This fit super tight in the waist. Was a very cute look though with the matching crop top, but sadly I couldn't wear it. Customer service was amazing. When we couldn't find something to replace it, they gave me an RTR credit, which I will definitely use!

I ordered a two and really should have been a 4.  However, the skirt was still quite comfortable and I got tons of compliments!  The pockets are also a blast.

It fit really nicely and was super comfortable.  I rented it with the matching top but because I am short it was too much and I substituted a white tshirt instead.

This two-piece was a nice change from the usual short cocktail dress. The fabric was super silky and thick, but not stiff at all. I'm normally a 4 in dresses, and I was in between the 2 and 4 in this skirt. I ended up going with the 2 because it was a bit shorter and sat higher up, so it didn't look as poofy (though it was less comfortable after dinner). There is a single layer of tulle and a thin lining underneath, so the skirt swishes around nicely, but it also makes it a little poofier than the model photo. The gathering on the size 2 was uneven around the waist, so I ended up twisting it until it was less noticeable. No biggie, just couldn't stand around with my hands in my pockets :)

It was not too white to wear to a wedding, there's enough black in the flowers that it was totally fine. The crop top is pretty minimal, the top is long enough that you don't always notice it. The main problem I had with this dress was just the length was not flattering. I was thinking a crop top dress would be kind of risque and show off my figure and this was kind of the opposite, I felt a little frumpy. I usually wear an 8 but based on how the 4 fit in the store (and that so many brands do vanity sizing, and I like things tight!) I chose to order a size 6, It was a little tight in the waist, so I should have gone with the 8. 

The skirt fit perfectly around the waist, but it hit me on the mid to lower shin and made me look shorter.  This skirt is more appropriate for a taller person.

While this skirt is beautiful, even the 12 ran exceedingly small in the waist. I can generally wear a 10 or 12, and I have an hourglass shape that makes it easy to go between the two, especially in skirts. But the band on this skirt was either improperly sized or not sized for an actual 12. So, even if you wear a size 10, I wouldn't recommend this skirt. I also wouldn't recommend it for petite women. But, if you are over 5' 3" and under a size 10, this is a good piece for a lunch event, work, wedding, or nice event. The pockets are generous and the flare of the large skirt feels very retro.
