Delightful summer party dress
I wore this to a daytime birthday party held at a restaurant on the river, so I loved the nautical feel this dress added to the occasion. The comfortable cotton fabric and warm vibrant color added to the pleasure of wearing this dress. I've got broad shoulders, so the upper back was a little tight. If I rent again, I'll go with the 8, since the fitting the hip is irrelevant (full skirt) and the waist can be adjusted a little bit with the sewn-in belt. Length fell to 2-3" above my knees.

Fun but a tad too short for dancing
This dress was rented as a back-up and I wanted a chance to try it for possible use on another date. Fit was excellent (bust, waist, hips) EXCEPT, uncomfortably narrow across the shoulders, front and back. FYI - bust was fine, the confined fit was just across the shoulders. Fabric, design and color are substantial (don't wear this in the summer heat), fun (and artistic), and rich (love the pop of pink). Dress is short - I am almost 5'4" and it ended 4" above my knees. Glad I got to try it.

Perfectly complimented the Helmut Lang dress worn to a wedding
Shiny, textural, heavy. Recommended by RTR when I rented the dress and it definitely hit the mark. Almost sorry I don't own it since I could imagine it punching up a staid predictable suit right in the middle of the work week.

Even the bride said I looked good!
Comfortable and sophisticated. The 8 fit fine, though a 6 would have been better, but the general shape of the dress and the abstract print camouflaged these (and my!) tiny imperfections. Received many compliments and queries - Don't worry RTR, I gave you all the credit and sent them your way!

Fun & Flirty but a little too informal for event
Loved the dress and the way it fit; very comfortable even across my broad shoulders. IMO the pique fabric gave it a more informal feel than I wanted for the evening wedding. Must say I was looking forward to dancing in it though...
