Colors that pop
Beautiful colors and cut - I received a ton of compliments. The dress was really short though and I felt a bit uncomfortable wearing it at a board meeting. I tried wearing a blazer over it but it still looked short!

Chic and warm
Loved this chunky sweater - wore it as a tunic for work, wore it over a cocktail dress for a night out and wore it with skinny leather leggings for dinner with the hubby. Really versatile and got compliments every time I wore it.

Kind of matronly
Didn't love this dress - it made me look pear-shaped and made me feel matronly. Returned it right away.

70's glam
Wore this for a disco party and it was fabulous! I didn't wear a bra and think it would be difficult to.

Perfect for work event
I wore this to a press conference for work with a blazer over it. It was a nice weight which made it very appropriate for work and the cut is flattering. Received a few compliments from some of the reporters there!

Beautiful dress but didn't fit right
I usually love Parker dresses, but this one just fit me a bit weird and made me look a bit bigger in the hips than I am. (maybe it was the pouf?) I didn't end up wearing it and sent it back.

Perfect for an outdoor wedding
I wore this dress for an outdoor summer wedding. Love the print and the lime/yellow color. It is a very thick material, so the dress was a bit hot for the summer weather, but overall loved the way it moved.

Minimalist style
This dress ran large for me, but I loved the style which is so on trend this season. I called it my "Amish" dress, but received a lot of compliments (despite the fit).

Too baggy
I loved the colors, but I am two months post-baby and wanted to wear something forgiving. This was certainly forgiving but it also made me look like I was pregnant again. I ended up wearing an a-line dress from Hunter Bell.

Comfortable and classy
I'm 5 months pregnant so I wanted a dress that I could move in. This dress was a beautiful navy/cobalt blue and fit me well in spite of my bump. I loved the touches of lace.

I took this dress on a trip to Italy and it was perfect. Really easy to pack and wear, great fit, and very unique. Not something I would typically choose, but it was a great dress.

Color and ombre stands out
I've now rented this dress twice because I love it so much. It fits really well and has a flattering cut. The colors stand out from the crowd in a sea of black. This dress was a bit worn the second time i rented it, but still very cute.

Classic with a twist
Wore this for a work cocktail party and it fit perfectly. The black darts made the dress feel a bit more contemporary and also helped to accentuate my waist. Received a lot of compliments.

Beautiful lace detail
The dress was definitely a bit tight for me, but it's form fitting in a good way. I received a lot of compliments all night. Probably would have gone up one size.

Beautiful color, but runs very small
I usually wear a 2 or 4 and I ended up wearing the 6 and it was still small! I had to pull the skirt down all night and there was also a bleach stain or something on the back (which fortunately you couldn't see at a nighttime event). I would recommend this dress if you went up another size.

A little worn but pretty
It was too small for me in the bottom, and a little loose up top, so I didn't end up wearing it.

Love the detail, but the fit was off
The fit on this was awkward because the elastic didn't hit right at my waist. Beautiful dress though!

Terrible dress - the sheen makes it look very cheap and the padding in the dress was warped and made me look lumpy! Do not rent this dress - I had to return it.
