Longer than it looks like but sharp!
I wore it to work w/ a blazer and ankle black booties and it was so slimming and beautiful! the dress is stretchy and it hugs the figure just right, but undergaments are a must to smooth all the bumps (if you are so inclined) The ruffles are really interesting detail

All about the back
Very elegant- but the entire back is on display! Oh yah, just being real ladies :) if you got few rolls back there - it will show them all off. If that is OK by you, then rock it; if not, just stating the fact, not an opinion, without any subjective connotation. The length is just skimming the floor and the slit in the front creates the accent without showing the entire business to the world (let's keep it classy right?!). The lattice work around the neck and on the back makes the dress - dress is the statement even without any jewelry.

Sequin Elegance
I'm not a sequin fan, so this dress was a dare, and it actually performed much better in reality than it presented in pictures. The sequins are tiny and make the dress slightly heavy but that gives its armor look, not the 80's-prom-gone-wrong impression. The back with the strategic straps allows for a bra - very clever! This is a strong, gorgeous woman dress- not a fluffy buttercup, no sireee! The sequins are not forgiving so be prepared to spanx it out!!! Yep, it won't be a comfortable night, but you will rule! Also, it comes with the territory, but the sequins will be scratchy in the underarms area - nothing to be done about that.... Just keep dancing like it's 1999! Looking gorgeous has its price :)

Exquisite design but runs small
the fabric is thick which gives it the flow - that's one of the things that instantly makes a designer piece stand our (RTR you evil thing you, once you get a taste, with unlimited RTR, it's impossible to not to) but my problem is (always) small top - and this one was again a fail in this department - didn't zip - too small - perfect in the waist but not for the ta-tas :(

If you go for square glamour - then these are it!
Very elegant! the temples (the "arms" of the glasses) are delicately thin, so you have big glamorous square lenses (which are quite dark) and the golden temples. Instant glamour even if you are wearing sweatpants (but please don't)! These glasses say "I'm know style darlin'!"

Excellent choice for the office
Disappointing b/c the top was too tight (my often-encountered problem when you have natural "assets":) Would have loved to wear it b/c it fit perfectly at the waist and zipped it up half-way- too sad too many designers do not allow for us girls that have ta-tas to wear pretty dresses. This was yet another one :) I liked the dress itself- would have been a perfect work outfit w/ smart pumps of fun high-heel sandals.

Slim, trim, lovely!
I thought i lost 10lb wearing this dress - it fit my waist and torso like a glove. I did wear light shareware under because the dress is not that substantial. It was so comfortable and just plain beautiful! Such a good find

Fluttery boho!
The best part is the fabric - delicate, flowing, and fully lined without being bulky and it's very breathable so you are not sweating like a piglet! I liked the delicate pattern on yellow background and the long flowing length. Off the shoulder is gorgeous too.

Flattering fit
Flattering fit with interesting detail of a bias front panel to make it stand out from all the boring pencil skirts out there. Length very appropriate for work and fabric is stretchy so it's comfortable but not flimsy like the cheap version of jersey stretchy skirts.

Jumper convert!
Thank you to all the ladies who provided their reviews before since it is exactly as described. I loved. loved, loved this jumper! It is as you expect modern jumper to be - simple lines, flattering but not tugging in all the wrong places. I wore it with cage wedge booties and it rocked! It was roomy without being baggy or tight. the satin edging around the neck and down the middle of the sleeves does not show in the photos, but it really adds a finishing touch and makes the garment looked polished. Whoever thought i could wear pleats, whoa! Happy customer here!

English rose garden party ready (or just to work)!
E. Fetherson is one of my favorite designers on RTR b/c her dresses never fail. This one was no exception. It is just a sweet little number - full skirt is so flattering to show off the legs and the fitted bodice is forgiving but form fitting. I love the flower pattern, I rented similar dress from EF in black in midi length, always a good choice.

Twirl!!
I will be renting this dress again! the full skirt the midi length - so ladylike, but not your mustache auntie idea of lady-like! I wore it with purple heels and thin studded forest green belt for a tiny bit of edge - it is as beautiful as it it comfortable. The fabric is "foamy" (sorry best way i can describe it) but it is on the thinner side, it is not scuba-like but at the same time it holds the gorgeous shape and it moves and stretches where it needs to on the top, so there is no pulling or constricting. I am a fan of this silhouette and wore the other dresses from this designer - never a miss!

Comfy, yet so stylish
It is short, so be careful not to show off your spanx! What a dress, wow!!! It is so fun! I wore it with a moto jacket and wedge booties. It's comfy yet edgy. So fun. Can't go wrong! The fabric is substantial so it holds its shape and that was the main thing I liked about it, actually the best feature of DVF roomy designs of RTR, i love them all! Another thing, it's not just for super skinny among us - i'm not and it actually looked slim and trim with higher shoe, contrary to what you may expect. Don't go too baggy though. I usually wear Size 8 and rented size S which was too big, will do XS next time (wow, that will not be the case for any other designer, but thank you DVF for indulging my fantasy!!)

European edge - not for wilting violets
This dress turns heads! It is super luxe and comfortable too. I loved it so much, RTR came through yet again!! it is fully lined inside with pale pink fabric. The quality is really there as well as the design. I loved the little red heart on the left side - very subtle but interesting detail. If you want to stir up some trouble, wear this dress :) It will fit any body type probably, curvy as well as tall and boyish. I'm pretty busty and size 10 was just fine. I've had many, many really terrific finds on RTR, but this one is one of the TOPS!!!

Great fabric, but does not gave give in the bust
I am partial to fit and flare but this dress did not have any give in the bust and I could not zip it all the way through the rip cage while the waist was fine. Those are the problems of us bigger chested ladies :) The fabric is heavy and holds its own shape very nicely. I was disappointed I could not wear it.

It was great for work but did not do anything for the waist. The dress is straight so my waist disappeared.

my favorite
I do not wear small and next time I rent, I will go for XS b/c this runs very very large. It is one of my favorites of all times on RTR. The fabric has substance to it to give this shirt a structure instead having it hanging like a potato sack and the color is vibrant. This is so comfortable, it almost feels that a stylish thing like that should not be so comfortable and still look so good! This is an awesome, awesome top!!!

Breezy
Rented medium but it was too small at the top - too much fabric at the bottom. Although I could put a cami under and still wear it, it just did not feel comfortable, since I would tug at the front constantly. I really loved the flowy layers of the skirt and the high-low cut. I have broad shoulders and bigger bust so it's always my demise, and Parker does seem small in comparison to other designers. But I will go for L and see how it works out. Like the dress.

Good but not great
Everyone is raving about it, and the top is nice with a satin touch, but I ended up buying my own by Tom Ford - very similar one but a bit thicker that gave me more structure and was not shiny. This top was nice but it was OK, not as "all that" as I expected. For a bigger busted girl like me, shiny top is not exactly a great thing. The fit was great.

cutting edge
Spiky! Obvious choice of words, but these beauties are edgy especially if you have short hair like I do. I don't mind that kind of look so I liked them. In real life, they are actually longer then they appear in the picture.
