The material is very heavy, like a thick canvas. and has zero stretch. It has lovely colors and presents well, but overall wasn't my favorite. Runs small. 

I love a high hemline but this is short even for me. Tight in the bust (I wear a 38C and am usually a 12). Doesn't come in an XL, so I'm SOL. Really flattering and great color, however. I'll wear it to work and see if it makes it out to dinner. 

I could wear this dress all day, it was super comfortable and I received a lot of compliments. It was a little on the shorter side especially when you sit down but otherwise standing up, super pretty.

Loved the thick Fabric, the cut and the fun colors but this dress was WAY too short to wear out of the house. 

Loved the thick material! This was for an outdoor lobster boil in Galveston, TX in August. So it was hot and the dress help up very well! I wanted to wear wedges but the dress was too short. So I wore my Tory's but got a lot of complements! 

I really liked this dress. However, it was super short. I generally like short dresses. I'm short (5'2") and a mini-length is almost always the most flattering length on me. But this was a tunic, not a dress. I had to grab the bottom hem every time I sat down so I could make sure I was actually sitting on the dress and not bare-assed on the chair. I wore it for a casual work function for my husbands job and was a bit uncomfortable. You could try and size up for length, but I don't think it will help much. Fabric is great- thicker and stretchy. So at least it wasn't short and sheer. Just short. 

   I apologize for the picture here, I know it does not give a great view of the dress but wanted to at least post something...I wore this dress just out in the hamptons to walk around and shop with my boyfriend and our friends, late afternoon to early evening.   
   Luckily it wasn't super hot out because the material was noticeably heavy. When you moved a certain way, it would create a pouch (that you can sort of see above) and I do think that happens with tunic dresses in general but I think it was more prevalent because of the material.
    It also came in the mail wrinkled and i had to iron it for a solid 10mins or more and as soon as I put it on it was wrinkled again. I think I noticed the wrinkles more than other people but that was a big downside for me.
   All that being said however, the dress has beautiful colors - i was worried they would be neon, but they were more like bright pastels. I think it was definitely true to size, sometimes tunics can make you look frumpy but the way it was made, you zip up the side and it instantly gives you a shape. And although the material was heavy, it was not too much material that when I stood to the side it looked to big or wide.  


I wore to a baby shower. Loved the color! I ordered a small and extra small. The small made would've worked, but it made me look a hit boxie. I went the x-small. Only con was that it seemed to be shorter than the other size in me. Also, the dress is easy to wrinkle. I was pleased with this order, but wouldn't rent again.

I rented this to wear for general summer activities and it is great for just that.  Lovely colors, fabric is very heavy so it feels hot.   

Fun colors. Loved the structure of this dress, but it's stiff and heavy like a sailcloth so might not be great for an outside event.  Runs short, don't bend over. 

I rented this dress for a Kentucky Derby themed bridal shower. The colors are bold and bright just like the screen. I got a S and M and wore the small. I'm 5'8'' and the S was shorter than I normally wear but because it wasn't for an all day event or something with a lot dancing I was comfortable with it. The medium also fit but it was not as form fitting so I didn't like it as much. Its super comfy because of the cut which I liked. Cons for me was that it was hard to get over my head and it wrinkled easily.  It has a side zipper that doesn't even go all the way to the top. The medium was much easier to get on though. Just be careful not to do your make up first. And yes, other reviews said it wrinkled easily and they are right. I steamed it before the event but it wrinkled during the drive. Overall, I felt good and would recommend. 

Perfect colors for vacation!! I had rented the blue and white version of this in a medium but it was a bit tight in the chest and a little short (wore it anyway) so I went with the large with this one. Was a little too boxy for my taste but the extra room came in handy after a vacation of eating and cocktailing! Custom agent even commented on it:)

Ordered this for brewery hopping on my birthday with friends. The colors are super cute and I like the shift cut. It is a tad on the short side, but I am glad I did not size up because it would have been too baggy and unflattering around the waist in a larger size. The fabric is very canvassy and a little rough. I read a lot of reviews about wrinkles, but I didn't have much of an issue. Solid day dress. Will consider renting again for sure. 

Wore to dinner for my birthday, looks good, cute for a dinner out, forgiving in the stomach which is always a good thing when out for dinner. Did notice wrinkles after sitting down at dinner for about 2 hours. Other than that I really like it.

Did wrinkle a bit as others pointed out but I loved the look.  Neck is gorgeous 

So happy RTR offered this dress!! Love the collar/neckline. Felt like it fit perfectly. Great for a casual night by the ocean! 

I got so many compliments on this sweet little dress!  It runs a little short, so while it was a tad big for a medium
I'm not sure the small would have been safe for me to wear without flashing things I would prefer not to! Only drawback is that the fabric wrinkles SUPER easily and fast!

Pros: The fit is TTS, and the colors are bright and vivid which is really fantastic on a bright day and in pictures. The color blocking and neck are very flattering and comfortable! 
The material is a very thick cotton -- for sweaty girls (like me) you may want to avoid this one for hotter months. 
Cons: Tall girls be warned; this is a short dress and a half inch shy of being a tunic (same length on the M)! Curvy ladies might have some issues with the fit as the material has no stretch and despite the tailoring through the waist, there was not much flare on the bottom. The dress should be considered a true shift -- while the M was better for me on the bottom, the top was way too big, so just wore the S and was careful sitting down!

Great colors and lots of compliments.  Wrinkles easily and is a little shorter than I realized when I sit or walk.

I rented this dress for a friends bridal shower. The picture doesn't do it justice! It fit well, I usually have difficulty with shift dresses due to my larger chest but this dress looked great! I received tons of compliments. I also stayed relatively comfortable on a very hot humid day (hence the hair!). My only complaint would be that it wrinkles very easily.

This dress was lightweight and the colors were great. It wrinkles super easily which is a bummer, but other than that it's a fun, easy to wear dress!

Love this dress and its 70's vibes! Super cute for everyday wear. This runs true to size, but is a bit looser in the midsection. Since there is no stretch in the fabric, we recommend that curvier women size up. This may be worn wit a standard bra! Pair this with a gold cuff!

Loved the color and cut of this dress but it wrinkled SUPER easily. I steamed it before work and it was so wrinkled in just the ride from my apartment to work :( Bummer because it's a great dress,especially with a tan but would not rent again for the wrinkle factor!
