Beautiful and slightly see through
I love the pattern on this dress and how casually beautiful it is. The only problem I had was that it is slightly see through. I would wear it at the beach, bet not necessarily anywhere else.

High quality and comfortable
I loved this dress! It's made from high quality material that stretches in just the right ways so that it's both flattering and comfortable. The length was also ideal for work. I highly recommend this dress.

Wonderful material, too tight around the arms and chest
This dress would be great for someone with slimmer arms. On me, the top felt too tight, especially around my shoulders/arms and looked too boxy.

Bright, Fun, and Stunning
I rented this dress for a casual beach wedding and it was a stunner! I received constant complements. I was also extremely comfortable the whole time, which is a great plus. One word of warning though, the side slit went much higher than I expected. In the wind, it will blow open and while walking, your leg can become completely bare. I wouldn't have felt as appropriate wearing this dress outside of a beach or casual context.

Gorgeous and professional.
I will definitely be renting this one again. The material is very comfortable, as is the fit. The color is beautiful. I generally wear a 4, and that would have likely been too big, so you might benefit from sizing down.

Probably requires a very specific body-type, and mine wasn't it.
I like the idea of this dress, but unfortunately, it didn't work for me. It was very hard to get on (though I recognize that you might not mind this, as it is meant to be a skin-tight dress after all) and bunched up in very odd places. This might be because I found the smaller size too constricting, though it may have fit better. In all, I recommend getting a backup dress, just in case this one doesn't work for you. But, the photos of other women wearing this dress were stunning, so your mileage may vary!

Classy
I've rented many dresses from RTR and this is my favorite, hands down! It was perfect for a panel I was on, as it helped me feel very confident being on stage when I was dressed so well. The pockets allowed me to carry things like my phone and business cards, the color was to die for, and the length allowed me to sit in front of people without any worry that anything would show. I highly recommend this dress.

Nice Stretchy Fabric - Perfect for Thanksgiving Dinner
My title basically says it all. I rented this for a Thanksgiving dinner and it was perfect. Not too dressy so fit into the homey feel of the party, but dressy enough to be complimented throughout the night. The fabric was very stretchy so I had no problem filling my stomach with delicious food. The one challenge I had was that the dress might have been too small for me. You can tell in the picture that the top bunched in places. Unfortunately I didn't have the size 4 to try, but I think you could easily order your usual size or size down and be a-okay. Final plus, pockets!

Femininity with an edge
At first glance, this looks like your typical little black dress, but upon closer look, the leather detail really pops. I wore it twice, once to a work event and once to a casual brunch with friends. I loved being able to pair this dress with a leather jacket for the latter. My one complaint is the dress felt a little itchy at the beginning before I got used to the fabric.

Fits tight but you'll love it
I looked incredible in this dress! I wore this to a work event, then straight to a dinner date after that. I received so many compliments. I felt glamorous and professional, all at once. The dress fit like a glove and I loved the modern look of the neckline. It was a nice length for a professional event -- a little below the knee, but not dowdy looking at all. One negative is that the zipper is really hard to work. Finally, the reviews aren't lying when they say it runs small. You might want to order one or even two sizes up.
