This dress is amazing!
I was really unsure about renting a high-low dress because I'm only 5'3" and I didn't now if the front would be too long. After looking at reviews I decided to rent and hope for the best. I love, loved this dress and got so many compliments on it all night (and of course gave credit to RTR!). I wore the size 0 and overall it fit well but the back straps were loose. It didn't really impact the dress too much but it definitely could have been tighter. You will need to wear a sticky bra or no bra at all because straps can be seen in the front. This dress is amazing.

Very flattering!
This wasn't the dress I originally picked out. I had rented another dress but I got a message saying the 0 couldn't be shipped. So, I was able to pick two additional dresses in size 0 to replace it. This was one of the options I selected and I'm glad I did. I received lots of compliments on it. It's a little snug in the stomach area but overall it is really comfortable. I have a pretty small chest and it fit well in the dress. If you have a large chest, be prepared to have a lot of cleavage!

Slits in the side are super cute!
My best advice is size up! I've rented Elizabeth and James before and wore a size 0 but in this dress I had to wear the 4! I'm so glad I considered all of the reviews instead of assuming I'd also be a 0 in this dress too. The dress is comfy and you can wear a regular bra! I also really liked the color.

LOVE.
This dress was super comfy for a formal gown. I wore a strapless bra, silver jewelry, and black 4inch heels. I was really hesitant to rent a long gown since I am 5'2 but it was the perfect length (0R). I received the dress with a hole in the bottom (which was obviously from a high heel previously worn) but once the dress was on it wasn't noticed. Got lots of compliments and it was a great rental!

Different Style!
I rented this dress because I searched and searched and just didn't know what to pick. I wasn't a huge fan of the shoulders but decided to go with it anyway. It was a little restricting but as long as you don't plan to raise your arms in the air dancing all night, you're all good. It's a great length (esp for taller girls- it was pretty long on me) and you can wear a normal bra.

Really cute lace cut outs!
This dress is super cute once you get it situated. When I first put the dress on the bottom layer was hanging below the lace in the front and the back (bottom layer is sewn to the lace and not meant to show). I had to take the top half off and pull up the inside and down on the lace until it was situated. Once I had it good to go and on I didn't have a problem at all for the rest of the night. The other slight issue is it didn't lay completely flat in the back above the butt because of the zipper. I kept pulling it down so it didn't look like a small lump there. Loved the lace cut outs! I'd plan to wear a strapless bra unless you don't mind bra straps shown through the back lace at the top.

Great summer wedding dress!
I rented this for my cousin's wedding in August. You can probably dress it up more with a necklace but the wedding was pretty casual. The dress is short but still appropriate. Bending over would not be the best idea. :) Plan to wear a strapless bra. Wasn't sure how I'd feel about the yellow but I absolutely loved it!!

Loved it!
I really loved this dress! It was perfect for an outdoor summer wedding. Tight at the top and flared out above the hips. I received lots of compliments on the color. Beware- this dress is short! Not too short that it's inappropriate but don't plan on bending over...or going/being outside if it's windy.

Winter wedding
I loved this dress and I typically steer clear of red. I rented this dress because I was attending a wedding the week before Christmas. :) The dress is very tight and form fitting, especially in the upper arm. The loved the zipper back but it did not lay completely flat- it waved toward the bottom. If you plan to socialize and mingle, this is a great dress. If you plan to dance the night away, you may want to go with another option.

Loved the colors!
I really liked this dress A LOT so I ordered it for my husband's coworker's wedding. I got an email the night before shipping saying the size 0 was either late or two damaged to ship out so they provided two other dress options, along with my size 2 back up. I'm SO glad the 2 fit because I wasn't really a fan of the options they sent. The 0 definitely would have fit better but the 2 fit well enough to wear! Perfect for a summer, outdoor wedding. Overall, great rental and great RTR customer service!

Always receive lots of compliments when I wear at RTR dress!
I originally rented this dress in a size 0 and 2 last minute when I found out a friend's wedding ceremony was outdoors and it was supposed to be chilly. I received an email two days before I was supposed to receive it saying the 0 had been damaged and could not be sent out. I contacted RTR and worked with them to choose another back up dress in size 0 and they still sent the size 2 in this dress. I am SO glad it fit because I didn't like the other dress as much (Alice Dress). I feel like I probably could have worn the 0 but I think the 2 fit nicely, especially since the dress runs pretty short and I wasn't going for that. The sides and length were great. The arms fit as well, but I will say that it is a little hard bending your arm because the material isn't that stretchy. This definitely wouldn't be a deal breaker though. :) I also want to add the RTR has THE BEST costumer service. I have only rented 3 dresses but I plan to rent many more. They respond really quick and make sure that your experience with them is a great one.

Very comfortable, thick material!
I loved wearing this dress and I received lots of compliments! I had rented it to wear to a friend's wedding in June. After reading reviews I noticed many said that it wouldn't be good to wear for a summer wedding due to the thick material. I decided to go for it anyway since it was sleeveless. The ceremony was outside and it was rather warm but I definitely wasn't too hot. You could wear this dress with a strapless or regular bra as long as you cross the straps. This is the second Parker dress I've rented and I think the overall fit is great! I would definitely recommend!

Lots of compliments!
I decided to use RTR for the first time after many hours of online shopping with no luck! I am very happy with my experience and I will definitely be renting again! I ended up wearing the XS that I ordered but the small also fit. I planned to wear a normal bra and clip the straps together in the back since it was a razorback dress but that wouldn't work because you could see the straps in the front. Definitely plan on wearing a strapless bra or no bra (if that works for you). I received a TON of compliments on the dress, especially about the bright colors. I would absolutely wear this dress again! I have already rented a dress by the same designer for a wedding I attend in June!
