The fit of this dress is perfect for my body shape - pear shaped with not a lot of chest. It's long, so if you're under 5'7", expect it to graze your ankle. The fabric is beautiful, the lining is soft and comfy and not hot. I got many rave reviews! If I could buy it today, I would. Will definitely rent again! 

Perfect dress for a summer work party. I added a belt to help define the waist. Fit like a glove. Very light and flowy fabric and not see through at all. I received tons of compliments.

I wore this multiple times for work/ drinks etc. it definitely needs a belt. I’m short and it hit at the ankle. Looks better with a little heel. 

It is criminal for a shirt dress to not have pockets, but the dress is so good I bought it anyway.  

The sleeves, the pattern, the buttons (please- other designers take note- this is how you space them for women's chests), the length, the fabric.  Doesn't wrinkle, didn't need any adjustments. Looks great with or without a belt.  

I wore this with a cute little belt and I loved it. So comfortable and so many compliments!

I just love this dress. Ended up buying it. 
Fit like a glove, for my size 16 body. Does require some good spanx for me to smooth it out. The buttons with their fabric and pattern even when they do gap open like with sitting, are not noticeable. I’m tall and this hangs well and I just can’t say enough good things about it. 

Wore to a rehearsal dinner in Cancun. Easy fit, lightweight and fun print. Paired with chunky pink earrings!

I really enjoyed this dress, I felt very tropical regal in this.  It was a great fit and can take on a lot of accessories, which I love.  I would definitely rent this again and again. 


Wore this multiple times and received lots of compliments that I ended up purchasing it. Very flattering fit. Love the sleeves. Do not need to wear anything under because buttons are perfectly placed. Paired with a small waist belt. Wore with flat boots, perfect length. Light material, but perfect for fall weather. Runs TTS. Highly recommend. 

Wore it to work and got lots of compliments! 

I totally underestimated this dress! I got it for a recent vacation. It’s absolutely perfect for travel day—in fact, I wore it going and coming back on the plane. Zero wrinkles, totally comfortable. Tons of compliments from flight attendants and other travelers. I thought it would look a little boring or even matronly, but it was actually so fun and fresh. Fits TTS!

I'm obsessed with this dress! I went to three cities in Hawaii and wore it once per location. It's the perfect Hawaii dress! I love that you can make the slit in front higher or lower, depending on the buttons. It has an amazing flow as you walk. I was VERY close to keeping it and may re-rent and buy in the future. I'm usually a 10-12, depending on designer and the 10 was a great fit.

Was a little doubtful to wear this dress - I don't like anything that shows my shape - but when I walked in the door at work - I got three compliments right away!

Adorable dress, fully lined and a very nice cut/fit. I'm normally a 6 and the 4 fit perfectly and wasn't right, so you may want to size down. Loved the fun print and felt great all day!

I loved this dress! It was comfortable and fit perfectly.  Very high quality fabric and design. I am 5ft. 8in. 145 lbs and wore a size 8. This dress is probably not for shorter gals. Got many compliments and would definitely rent it again.  Love RTR!

Buttons didn't gap, the sleeves and length were perfect. So comfy. Loved it. Will rent again. 

Fun print, great overall fit and length. I felt it needed something of interest around the waist, so added a thin gold belt. Very well made dress, super comfortable to wear.

This dress was easy and fun to wear. Even with my large bust, the buttons did not gape at the chest. I did order a size up to help prevent this happening and think it helped. The safari/jungle print is nice. Would rent again.

Absolutely in love with this dress you can accessorize it up with nudes and funky blush pink and greens! I will definitely rent it again

It fit really well, and that's coming from a woman who can't wear button down anything. No gaps, no tape needed. I'm  41-37-47 for reference. I would have bought it but not for $400. 

Considering buying this because I just love it so much. Also, because it truly does not wrinkle!
I wore with a belt and boots to dress it up for an early spring day at work. 

I loved the print and the material, it flowed beautifully and was perfect was summer, and appropriate for my pretty casual workplace. It was longer on me than pictured (which I typically expect as I'm not very tall) and I believe was meant for a longer torso, but I added a skinny belt and loved the way it looked! Would definitely rent again. 

This dress is buttery, lined, and hits and fits in all the right places without hugging and accentuating. I think this would be perfect for a summer wedding, someone trying to hide a small baby bump since the dress doesn't try to squeeze you out of it, even for a date night because it's so flattering, or just for everyday. If your busty /curvy, stay true to size, if you want it more fitted go a size down. 

Lined. Made it a wee bit too hot on a summer's day. Fit great. 

Great pattern and delicious fabric. However, it lacked shape, which I fixed by adding a belt.

Definitely requires belt and could probably have sized down 2 sizes. Best for more conservative event but would rent again 

Not overly flattering 
But wrinkle resistant and conservative 
Great for work 

Lovely dress, flowy and fun!  Lots of compliments!

This fit me so well! It was super comfortable and easy to style.

Tigers, leopards, macaws, palms...love the print. 

I'm usually a 6-8 or M and the 6 was on the loose side. Nearly to the ground 5ft 7. 

Easy to wear and well made. 

Adorable print and cool buttons. Great animals jungle subtle print with pops of pink/green.  Fun safari vibe. Baggy at the waist on me and needed a belt. So long it felt dowdy (came almost to my ankles and I  am 5'9" and usually a size 6-8).  Would have loved this if 4 inches shorter and had pockets. To make a shirt dress these days with no pockets should be illegal.


Besides feeling like a bag of potatoes this dress is literally dragging in the floor because I could not find a belt that would look good with it. I don't think I will be renting this dress again. I'm also not a fan of the print

I wore this for our son's pre-prom party. The print is cute but the fit is very unflattering. For reference, I'm 5'9", 127lbs and usually wear a size 4 and 26 jean. Some people did mention the fit being a bit loose but the 2 wasn't available, although I think a 2 still would have been quite loose. Without a belt, it felt very frumpy and even with one, too much fabric left me with renter's remorse.  The fabric is a bit heavy so I wouldn't recommend for summer days. 

This dress is super pretty and the print was so beautiful. Despite the retro Hawaiian name, the pattern actually has tigers, palm leaves, birds and lemons on it. Very unique! I am normally between sizes (4 or 6) and went with a 4.  This dress fit comfortably but was quite loose in the waist and through the hips. But could have easily gone down to a size 2.  Recommend sizing down at least 1 or 2 sizes from your normal dress size. Would definitely rent again! 

Great print dress! I can see myself wearing in while on vacay or just out for stroll around town. Fits TTS and very roomy.

Wore to the French Open and around Paris with sneakers. It was lightweight and easy to throw in a bag of travel

Fit perfectly, dressed up for laui and down for the airport. Got several compliments on the pattern. I felt classy and stylish.
