I rented this for an awards gala themed "Island Chic".  It was perfect!  The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it doesn't have a slit and that made it a bit difficult to dance.  Other than that the dress is super comfortable and well made.  I ordered a 2R and a 4R and though the 2 would have been better length wise (I'm only 5"1 1/2) the 4 was more comfortable across the top.  This was my first RTR experience and I loved it!! Super convenient, super fast and super organized...dress arrived in a garment type bag along with my clutch that you can easily travel with.  I'll be back for sure!  Thanks RTR!

The lining is tight on this and doesn't really have any give. I would size up so that you have enough length in the dress to walk comfortably.

The dress code was aloha wear. I nailed it in this dress. The size 2 fit great on me. Im usually a size 4. I'm short and the length was perfection. Loved that I didn't have to wear a bra, the top of the dress was lined and provided security. No pulling up this dress, it stay put all night. My one and only issue was that I couldn't take big steps in the dress. I wish it had a slit. Overall, this rental was a great success. 


Got this for myself, size 8 usually fits just a bit tight. But this didn't fit at all so my sister who is a size 4-6 wore it and it was snug in her. As you can see in picture it's not really flattering. Maybe would be better on someone tall and skinny.

The dress fit great and was in excellent condition on arrival. I was really happy that I chose it for my tiki-themed 30th birthday party. It fit really well and seems like it would be flattering for most body types. The lining/satiny portion is a bit clingy, but the sheer printed outer layer of the dress is very forgiving. The last picture might be the best shot of the dress (though I have a sourpuss face).

Overall I had a positive experience with RTR and this dress!  The dress fit perfect and I received a lot of compliments.  The only thing I will say is the lining underneath was thicker than I thought and so for a beach wedding and outside reception, I was a little warm.  Other than that, I LOVED this dress!

This dress was very comfortable to wear for 8 hours straight. I suggest wearing a belt if you don't care for the straight and relaxed look. 

Pros: This dress fits perfectly, I usually avoid wearing strapless but this one fits perfectly at chest. It also has a build-in support structure at chest area so there's no need to wear a bra. It's super easy to wear too.
Cons: The length is good for me without any heels on (I'm 5'3, but it's to the ankle area not like the way it's on the model), although the bottom part doesn't have a wide opening so you can't walk too fast, the good thing is that the colorful part is a separate layer from the dark slit so I used 2 pins to shorten the dark slit inside, to make the length shorter, and walking is much easier.

Overall it's a great and casual looking dress, it's perfect for vacation.

The colors of this dress are outstandingly vibrant and the dress has the perfect flowy laid back vibe. Unfortunately, this dress at least in my normal sizes (0,2) is too small. Made more for some stick thin, smaller boobs and about 5'7 " not 5'1". Which is okay, I knew I was taking a risk here. It is the inner lining of the dress that did it in for me though. Since it clearly is not made for someone a with a bust or butt. That is wear the lining hugged (more like squeezed) the most and at My bust I couldnt even get it to clasp around me, let alone zip! With that being said I still LOVE Trina Turk's dresses and would recommend this to those ladies who fit the body type for it. 

When I came out dressed my husband said wow.  I' m only 5'4 and paired it with cute flip flops for an island pool party.  If your tall it will hit you where the model photo does. I found it a little tight fit up top but I liked that cause I didn't have to keep pulling it up.  Can be slow to walk in as the blue under lining is slim fitting as some of the other reviews stated.  Nice quality & I would wear again. 

The fit was great on the bust and a little snug towards my legs, but the overlay fabric makes it nice and flowy. I decided to belt it, to give it some shape. It's a great dress for any vacation or tropical themed party!

I wore this dress to a wine event on a golf course.  My husband sponsored the event for one of his clients, so I felt like I couldn't be too sexy or casual.  This dress had the perfect mix of glamour, ease, and summer.  This dress worked wonderful in that we were standing all night.  If it had been a sit down event I think the dress would have been quite troublesome as the grip in the back rolled every time I sat down.  It also was not a dress that I could have danced in.  The bottom was quite narrow.  It didn't bother me for socializing but while hurrying to the event it was quite difficult to move quickly.  The dress was beautiful, so worth my husband watching the back and slowing our pace.  I also resisted the urge to belt it.  It is flowy but fitted enough that it still gives you shape.  When I belted it, it instantly made it much more casual.  If you wanted to wear this to something less formal, belting it definitely gave it that spin.  Overall it made me feel beautiful.

Really liked the look of this dress.  I wore the 4 because it was the best fit overall, but really could have used a 6 in the hips (I typically wear 2 or 4).  I'd recommend this for women have very proportional bodies.

I am short and have double D's. I fit in an 8 body but needed a 10 or 12 for the chest. I went with the 10. I recommend belting it for more of a flattering silhouette. Perfect for so many occasions. I wore it to a 1970's themed huge party, a baby shower, and a dinner date. It's GORGEOUS. Turned so many heads and I got compliments all night long. I had to wear very high shoes and it was still a tad long, but it didn't stop me from dancing.
