Great Gatsby Glam
Love this style of the Parker designs. I wore the silver/black version of this dress for NYE a year ago and knew I had to find a way to rent it in gold. The dress is true to size and not itchy (as some sequin dresses can be). For me the dress runs a bit short (I am 5'7") so pairing it with a pair of sheer black tights helped me to feel a bit more modest. The color is a bit more brown than gold, but still beautiful. Def rent this one!

Great Fall Color!
Great color. Form fitting. V-neck is not as dramatic as it appears on the model. Fabric is very lightweight. Dress is less structured than I imagined.

One of my favorites from RTR!
Definitely rent this dress! It was absolutely perfect for NYE. Lots of sparkles and I loved the cut for the top of the dress. Very flattering especially if you have larger shoulders like myself. I plan to rent the gold version of this dress for a different occasion later in the year. Pros: -The dress was not very heavy for how many sequins were on it. -The dress did not itch. -The dress fit to your body without suctioning to your skin. Cons: -A little on the short side. (I am 5'7")

Perfect dress for the family holiday party!
The dress was beautiful and very flattering for all body types. For me it was a tad loose in the waist and I probably would have worn a size 0 if it had been available. It's hard to see, but there are silver accents in the dress that really make it stand out. Loved it.

BEST dress I have rented from RTR! Obsessed!
This dress is stunning! Pictures alone cannot serve it justice. I HIGHLY recommend renting this dress. It is worth the price. The color is a bold yellow. The neckline is pretty dramatic, but I have a smaller chest and did not find this to be an issue. The length was perfect - it hit just above my knee and I am 5'7". The sleeves did not fall off on me, but I have larger shoulders than most. Overall, a perfect dress to celebrate the marriage of a beautiful couple! Thanks RTR!

Great colors, but not my favorite rental.
The colors on the dress are beautiful, but the fit of the dress wasn't great. I have rented from the same designer in the gold version of this dress and it appeared to be more structured than this one. I ended up having to belt the dress just to give it some shape.

Amazing Colors!!
This dress was perfect for a wedding. Very classy (including the bare back) and it had great colors. I have a longer torso than most so the dress did not sit exactly where it should on my waist, but other than that I loved it.

Classy. Perfect for a shower or graduation.
The top of this dress has a dramatic neckline that I found to be amazing. The bottom portion did not fit as well (slightly big on the hips and a little too long), but this could be do to the fact that I ordered a size up. Overall, a very classy dress.

Simple and elegant
This dress is stunning and I definitely plan to rent it again. Unfortunately, the size 0L was not available for my rental dates, but that is the size I would have chosen to wear. I am 5'7" and the long was perfect with a pair of 3-4" heels. This dress is extremely lightweight and as with any dress containing sequins, the zipper can sometimes be a little difficult to get up and down. I personally felt that the dress did not need the cord around the waist.

Old Hollywood Glam - Best Dressed!
This dress is stunning and fits perfectly! Base sizing off of your height and chest. Hips are obviously not an issue. I am 5'7" and wore three inch heels with the 0L and the dress was skimming the floor. The zipper was a little difficult (as expected with sequin fabric); make sure to have someone to help you into the dress. Overall, this dress was the talk of the party. Everyone loved it and it was perfect for the theme "Old Hollywood."

Great way to bring in the new year!
This dress was perfect for NYE. The high neck and cap sleeves make it very classy while the sequins add that pop that makes you stand out. If you are tall I would suggest sizing up. The dress tends to run a tad short, but shows off long legs quite nicely.

It was a perfect dress to celebrate a friend's birthday! Everyone asked where I got my dress.
This dress is stunning and perfect for a summer event. It's lightweight and extremely comfortable. The open back adds a sense of sexy while the front keeps the dress modest and classy. If you are curvy, I did find that the dress can be a tad snug on your hips, but overall the dress runs true to size.

Beautiful, but unworn
The dress is stunning, however I would have to agree with other reviews in that the top is not as structured as I would have hoped. I have a small bust and even I was having difficulty keeping it up without it looking like I was falling out of it. I ended up not wearing the dress, but the colors are stunning. The hint of blue adds to the overall effect. I just wish my body was meant to wear it. Luckily, RTR has wonderful customer service and I was credited for future rentals!

I loved this dress. It is very elegant and fits like a glove. The only thing to watch out for is the length. I am 5'7" and I had to be careful not to bend over too far throughout the night.

Received tons of compliments in this dress all night! Loved it.
This dress looks amazing on, but as previous reviews have stated, make sure you buy doubled sided fashion tape to keep the top portion up. The color was amazing and the dress didn't itch or leave marks under my arms from the sequins.

I had such a great night!
This dress was a great attention grabber and would be perfect for NYE. However, the extra small was a tad too big for me. This dress may be better for more curvy women.
