Glam and Chic + Big Pockets and Belly Room!
I was a little bigger than normal when I rented this dress (more of a 6/8 than a 4), so I what I loved was how this dress made my waist look small, while still giving me plenty of room around the hips area. The pockets are HUGE -- I had my phone and lip gloss in one, and I had a water bottle and comb in the other. The hint of sparkle on top and the silhouette of the skirt made me stand out from the crowd, without being too loud or distracting. It was also the perfect day-to-night transition piece. I would definitely wear this again.

Flattering Fabric ; Perfect Hourglass
When I rented this dress, I was a little larger than normal (more of a 6/8), so I rented a medium (otherwise I probably would've gotten a small). This dress kept me warm, but was light enough for me to dance the night away! Per usual from the Parker brand, this dress was so flattering and hugged me (and sucked me in) in all the right places to create the illusion of a flat tummy and a perfect hourglass shape -- what woman doesn't love that??? Never once did I have to stop to pull down the dress, as most tight dresses tend to ride up your rear. I felt covered, but I still felt sexy. I took this dress from a business event, during the day, to an upscale dinner to the club. I hope Parker (and RTR) release more dresses, like this.

Business AND Party
So, let me begin by saying that I was NOT my usual size when I rented this dress. I was closer to a 6/8 than my usual 4/6, and the romper STILL RAN BIG. I would've probably rented a small, if they would've had one in stock. However, even though it was a little baggy, it fell so beautifully and was so slenderizing, even though I definitely had a food-baby bump going on. The front is quite low, and I'm rather busty, so I used a small safety pin to adjust it. The cutouts are not as sheer as they look, so this was appropriate for me to wear to a nice dinner and then out to the club afterwards. I had a little bit of a hard time getting the bottom half on and off -- I've got a butt -- but once it was on, it was super flattering and comfortable (no camel toe, lots of vagina room) and offered full booty coverage.The zip pockets were big enough for my phone, lip gloss and credit cards, which was FAB. I wish I had this in my closet all the time.

Subtle pop of color and sparkle
I loved these earrings so much. I have tiny ears and already had a sparkly (black) dress on, so these were the perfect size and just the right amount of contrast and bling. I wish I could have these in my jewelry box always.

Sucks you into an hourglass!
This dress was magic. I felt like I was wearing a scuba suit, which was both magical and slightly uncomfortable -- particularly around the armpit fat region, if you know what I mean. I do feel like the pattern made me look curvier than I am, which some people might not like, but I loved it.

AWESOME COLOR
This dress was cute, the color is fantastic, BUT it definitely looks and feels like more of a costume than an everyday dress. The color is more of a NEON ORANGE than coral, by the way. Lucky for me, I just needed this for a television appearance, in which you could only see from the chest up, but it looked fab like that.

Super CHIC - Wear TAPE!!!
I love this dress -- the style, the color, the designer, EVERYTHING! But... my one complaint is that the straps kept falling down, which especially was not great because a bra is not necessary with this one. Bad news bears. The rest of the dress kept me sucked in, but the straps were stretched out, so make sure you pack some tape or safety pin them tighter.

Sexy GLAM
Gives you the perfect hourglass shape by sucking in and accentuating all the right places! Wear a strapless bra to keep your boobs perky and curvy. No need to suck in, as the dress will do it for you, regardless of what you eat for dinner. A nice tan will keep you from getting washed out.

Great dress for going out, Vegas, New Year's Eve -- HOT MAMA!
I LOVED this dress. This was definitely one of my favorite items from RTR -- and I've rented a lot! It does run a little bit long, but the tight bandage pattern makes it easy to fold the hem underneath and/or pull up the middle bands. For dinner, I wore a black mink shawl over my shoulders, then I threw it off for dancing. Happy New Year to meee!

My favorite party dress I've EVER worn. This is a BOMBSHELL dress!
This dress squeezes you in all the right places. The middle bandages definitely trim the waistline and transform any body into the perfect hourglass. The size and length were perfect -- not too long, not too short, not too tight. I got the dress in the yellow/green/grey/ivory combo, and I wish I could have kept it.

This dress was sexy and fun. The perfect birthday dress, without over-the-top glitter and sequins.
I love this fit. It definitely sucks you in, and the pattern is super flattering. Busty girls, beware of the potential for some armpit cleavage and/or sideboob; try to wear a bra if you can to hold your shape. Be gentle with the spaghetti straps -- one of mine popped off -- but it's not a huge deal, because the rest of the dress is so tight, it definitely won't fall down.

Loved this dress on a friend, but it ran small on me :( Definitely not for the busty gal as it runs tight around the rib cage. Rock it with crazy jewelry, because it truly is just a little black dress despite the cut-outs. Nothing spectacular unless you can rock it

OBSESSED with this dress. At times I got a little irritated because the shoulders wouldn't stay in place, but other than that this dress was PERFECTION. It sucked me in where I needed it, while emphasizing the places that deserve the attention. LOVE HERVE.
