Just okay
I wanted to love this skirt but it was just "eh" at best. The size 6 (my usual size) fit but somehow I still looked stuffed into it and there was something unflattering about the fit and the way it looked. Maybe it was how the seams are positioned. It did not look relaxed and easy like the photo of the model; instead, it looked fussy and uncomfortable. Also, it wrinkles very easily. Once you sit down in it, it's kind of a mess for the rest of the day.

Enormous
I was swimming in a medium in this dress, which is my usual size (6-8). It looked like yards of fabric had been added to widen this dress. It took "baggy" to a whole new level. Size down at least one size--two would probably be better. Also, the fabric is very shiny.

Sophisticated prairie dress
This dress was so much fun to wear. The top has wonderful detail around the neck and the lace-up allows for some adjusting to get the right fit. The skirt is very full and has great movement. I wanted to twirl around in it. I received many compliments and would love to rent it again.

Beautiful and unique
I received compliments galore for the evil eye dress! The stitching that creates the eyes is beautifully detailed with rich, vibrant colors. The rest of the dress is thickly-lined and well made. I'm usually a size M/6/8 in dresses, and the M size in this dress gave me a roomy fit. I could have sized down, but I liked how the M allowed for a boxy look. And, it was very comfortable to wear all day. I paired it with tights and velvet booties (both in a wine color), and loved the entire look. Highly recommend this dress for work, parties, dinner, whatever. It will look great anywhere.

Runs crazy small
I'm usually a US size 4 or 6 in pants/skirts, but this skirt in a size 2 (US 6-8) didn't come close to fitting. I was busting out of it. Size up 1-2 sizes at least.

Adorable, but small.
The tight fit of this dress is exacerbated by the fact that it's denim so there is absolutely no stretch or give in the fabric. It was also very, very short on me (I'm 5'7"). I really wanted to love it but I was uncomfortable in it.

Runs ridiculously small
Total waste of time renting this item. I am usually a 6 or even a 4, and this romper didn't come close to fitting me. I probably needed a 12. Annoying.

Cute but very small
I was disappointed that this dress runs very small all over, especially in the waist. It fit but it was too tight.

Insanely small on top
I usually fit comfortably into size 8 dresses (sometimes 6), but this size 8 dress did not come even close to fitting me. It zipped up fine around my waist but I needed many inches of fabric added up top in order to have been able to zip it up. If you have a cup size above an A and/or are not extremely petite in the shoulders/back area, then you don't stand a chance of fitting into this dress unless you size up significantly. Think 2-3 sizes up at least. Just a super weird cut and fit.

Light, easy fabric with a beautiful print.
I love the way this dress feels when it's on. It's very comfortable and flow-y. The tie at the neckline is a great detail. I found the shorter part of the dress (in the front) to be a little too short for work (I'm 5'6"). I would've loved just another half inch or so in that area Other than that, this is a great garment for the daytime.

Elegant, unique and whimsical
The gorgeous color, design and fit of this dress will make you stand out in all the right ways at your event. The deep jewel-tone fabric with just the right amount of sheen took my breath away the moment I unzipped my RTR bag after it arrived. I'm 5'7" and usually a size 6 or 8; with 4 inch heels the 8R fit like a glove and hung perfectly. I love the little bit of trumpet flare in the skirt. As other reviewers have noted, there are cut-outs on the side covered by flesh-colored mesh. I found this detail to be just that bit of sexy that the dress needed, yet still very tasteful (they don't create a side-boob situation). They do make a regular strapless bra impossible though (I wore a strapless/backless Nubra). This dress was also very comfortable to wear. I can't recommend it enough. If you want to fully embrace color, I recommend pairing this dress with the Kate Spade Garden Party Statement earrings, which are also available on RTR. They go together beautifully.

Fantastic, flattering fit
This dress hugs in all of the right ways and in all of the right places. I felt very sexy and slim in it. The neckline is also very flattering. I am 5'7" and rented the long size and with heels that was about right (maybe a smidge too long but I preferred that over too short with the regular size). This is just a very well-made dress. Highly recommend.

Gorgeous print
The mixed, vibrant print of this dress is beautiful, especially for spring. I appreciated how it is more of a variation of the famous DVF wrap dress by having a baggier fit. The sleeves are long but I liked how that looked and felt. My only criticism is that it is more low-cut in the front than it appears on the model. I had to wear a camisole underneath it to hide cleavage in order for it to be appropriate for work.

Beautiful, elegant, and unique. A great new take on a classic silhouette.
I adored this dress. My pic doesn't do it justice. I was named best-dressed at the wedding I wore it to (be prepared to upstage the bride) and people stopped me to compliment it constantly. The beautiful blush pink was perfect for the spring wedding I attended. The material is thick and the dress is very structured. The fabric does not give at all so I recommend sizing up. I actually tried this dress on at a Halston Heritage store before I rented it and the salesperson there said that all of her customers had to go up at least one size with this dress. I have a wide back and somewhat of a bust (C cup) so it was much more snug on top than in the waist. I usually wear a 6 or an 8 but ordered an 8 and a 10. The 10 fit a little more comfortably but I'm glad I went with the 8 because the snug fit gave me a nice shape. I wore a Nu Bra underneath but probably could have gone without because of the thick, form-fitting material. Not all reviewers here seemed to love the tulip skirt but I adored it. There is a kind of light wiring that runs throughout the skirt to give it its usual shape. It puckers in places and I believe that's what it's supposed to do (that's how it was at the Halston Heritage store) so don't expect it to look quite like the official RTR photo. Overall, this dress is a dream. Highly recommend.
