Pretty in purple!

Size worn: M

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Wedding

Dress was extremely comfortable on and figure flattering. Does run a little small in the bust. I suggest going one size up.

I rented this for my sorority's formals and it was amazing! Very simple and classy.

Size worn: XS

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

The dress fit like a dream! The plastic boning did stick out and poke me at some parts during the night but other than that I never had to yank it up every time I moved around. The length was very good and never felt too short. The material is definitely more delicate and thin than it looks in the photos, but it was light and airy and very comfortable. Definitely going to try and get this in the red color next time :)

Perfect color, length and look for a wedding!

Size worn: S

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Wedding

The dress is beautiful - the color and fabric are absolutely gorgeous. The dress ran very small on top though...I am not exactly busty but I had to go a size up to S to get the dress to zip over my bust. While I loved the way the dress looked, as the night wore on the bones in the bodice stuck out and poked my body which was not especially pleasant. It could have been that particular dress though...overall I did really like the dress and got many compliments on the sleek, glamorous look of it.

Overall fit: True to Size

Loved the fit of the dress - it wasn't too tight, but it still had structure. The drape along the skirt was perfect, and the bodice was structured enough to stay up without me pulling at it all night.

Perfect little party dress

Size worn: XS

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

Loved this dress and the first time I wore something from Parker. I was worried about the fit being too small, but the XS fit great. I'm not that tall so I wanted something short and fun and this was perfect. The navy blue was a nice change from boring black and the rusching side detail/foldover was super flattering. If I could find the dress to purchase I would - it's that great. Definitely more of a girls night out than a formal dress. The only slightly negative side is that it's very "flimsy" - the material is silky and quite thin.

Funky and fun!

Size worn: XS

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

My backup dress for the company holiday party. Preferred my first choice, but this fit well and was a great fallback plan! The XS sat on me the same way it does on the model. I found it a touch short (!) but not at all inappropriate. Made my butt look super.

Cute, classy dress

Size worn: S

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

Cute dress, fit well. True to size. I'm giving it 4 stars, because my only complaint about the dress was that the one I received had some ripped threads where the layered fabric was over the right breast. So, I had to fix it myself before wearing it out. Overall, the way the fabric laid in this area looked weird. I wouldn't recommend this dress if you are large busted.

Great simple dress, super flattering on the waist!

Size worn: S

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

Actually rented the red version but it was out of stock, this one has a great fit however I am a 34 DD and the top was so tight I couldn't fit a starpless bra underneath. No stretch in this dress so I was actaully able to get away with no bra. Runs true to size I'm usually a small in fitted Parker dresses.

I received tons of complements on the dress and felt great all night!

Size worn: M

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

The dress fit really well and looked great. There were some wires in the dress that started to poke toward the end of the night, but this wasn't too big of an issue. The dress also tended to ride up in the back while dancing. Overall, I was very happy with the entire Rent the Runway experience and I plan to rent from them again very soon.

Size worn: XS

Overall fit: Large

Rented for: Formal Affair

I ordered the red version of this dress, but due to someone else returning it late, I got this purple color in it's place. I ended up wearing the red XS because it fit better, but the small purple one was pretty too, but it just ran a little large and it wasn't the original dress I wanted/ordered. It gave me a pretty hourglass when I tried it on though.

Way too short!

Size worn: None

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Party

I rented this dress for a holiday party and unfortunately had to return it. The dress was a pretty color and a flattering fit, but WAY too short to wear to my event. The picture definitely does not show how short the dress is in person. I don't think anyone 5'7 or above or with long legs could wear this dress to anything other than a bachelorette party in Vegas or similar.

Great color, flattering fit. Runs big if you're petite on top.

Size worn: XS

Overall fit: Large

Rented for: Wedding

I loved this dress! I got an XS and a S. The Small was way too big and the XS was fine. I was comfortable in the dress all night, but had to tug on the top often to keep it up. The draping was really flattering and the color was GORGEOUS. I liked it so much I would buy the dress.
