Fabulous dress! Many compliments!

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!

Beautiful and elegant!

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.

Easy to wear, dress up or down

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.

Almost perfect

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.

Absolute Love

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.

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.

Loved so much I bought it

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.

Perfect for travel day!

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!

Hawaiian stunner

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.

Adorable!! Wore for a casual work event

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!

Perfect summer wedding dress!

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!

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.

Really cute

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.

Brunch-able

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.

Wrinkle-free love

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.

Great summer dress

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.

Elegant, Sophisticated Fit

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.

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.

Close but not quite there.

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.

Longest dress I've ever worn

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

Very average

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.

Pretty dress but size down!

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!
