Pleated Utility Shirt Dress

Great fit and high quality
This dress feels so nice on and looks very professional. The keyhole is a little revealing on me but, not enough to keep me from wearing it. I am a little thick around the middle so this shape is sometimes difficult for me to wear. But, this dress is cut nicely all over.

Sizing off
I love Parker and usually wear a 14 sometimes a 12. The14 was huge- and the 12 was tiny. So I couldn't wear either one.

breezy sophistication
I thought it ran a little big in the waist. Next time I will try a size down. I like the high low look as it wasn't too drastic from front to back but, was a flattering look. The top stays secure with a snap. Great for a summer day. I wore to work.

Great shape and material
Great cut and forgiving material. Is elegant but not over the top dressy. So perfect for daytime. I wore it to work since I'm not going any place else these days... comfortable all day. I will definitely rent this again.

Great for large busts
Front closure is a zipper. Back is pintuck stretchy material. Perfect for a wide range of sizes. No gaping or stretching material. Dress is light weight comfortable and conservative. I wore a sweater because thought the arm holes were a little on the big size. Not the most slimming dress but, something I could wear for many occasions.

Beautiful but, Too small
Pants are light weight crepe over a lining very flowy and full. Print is beautiful in person. I wanted to wear so badly but, was just too tight in the waist for me to be comfortable in. I'm a pretty consistent size 12. The pants were also too long even with heels. I'm 5'6" with shorter legs and I would have been tripping over the pants all day long. Wish they would have worked!!

Lovely print and layers
Loved this dress. Actually wore with tights and boots because it is still cold. But, I think I will hold on to it until we get some warm weather. Love the print and the cute layers on the skirt. Lightweight conservative dress perfect for work or a daytime party.

Cozy
Soft on the inside leather on the outside. Nice details. I could zip it but, was definitely snug. Looked good unzipped so didn't keep me from wearing it.

Favorite!!
Love this dress and I'm having trouble sending it back. I've worn it to 2 parties and to work. I get a ton of compliments every time I wear it. Fits perfectly and so comfortable. The print is cute but grown up and sophisticated. Love the lace detail in the sleeves. I might keep in until the weather warms up so I can wear it without tights. This is a favorite from my unlimited subscription.

So fun!
This was the longest I ever kept one item! I thought It was a bit boxy for me. But, that didn't matter- the print and material was so fun. Always got a ton of compliments and felt like a star even if I was just running errands!

Was on the small side and showed every bump. I didn't feel I could pull it off.

Loved the print
Fit was true to size. A bit tight in the bust for me- gapped a little between the button but, well camouflaged with the print and material. It is a really full skirt that is very outside my comfort zone. didn't actually look bad on but, I was self conscience that it makes me look bigger. Material is stiff but, well made. Zipper not easy to get up. Had to leave zipped to get it on. I am glad I tried it and may rent again when the weather is warmer.

Too much material
Maybe I should have sized down to a Medium. It just had no shape on me. More of a lightly structured sweater than a jacket.

I wanted to love it. The pattern is beautiful and it is a great material. I could no be out in public with it on - even with tights.

Get noticed
A great conservative dress with an amazing print. Love the detail at the neck line. Fit is very comfortable. I wore it to a casual meeting for the kids school before work and then to work. I received a bunch of compliments and probably convinced many to try RTR unlimited! I would rent again. Works in the winter with tights and would also be great in the warmer spring weather.

More than just a black dress.
Cute black dress with ruffles at the bottom for a little fun. A little too short for work but, with my polka dot tights I felt covered and it broke up all the black. This runs small but, the XL fit my size 12 perfectly. Material is thick, perfect for colder weather.

A bit awkward
Top is huge, skirt a little on the smaller size. Definitely not a favorite but, it was wearable with a tank under. Found it a little difficult to get the wrap adjusted properly, something about the cut is off. I have unlimited for work so I still wore it and it was festive for Valentines Day but, this was not very flattering on me.

Not quite my style
Fit well and was very true to size. The skirting was not exactly my style. I tend to feel that i look better in a straighter skirt- I felt the style was a little too young for me. I wore a tank under because it was too revealing for work. It would be a great shower or daytime party look. I have unlimited for work - since it fit nicely I wore it and it was comfortable all day. Overall it was nice but, better for someone else

Great top- just didn't work for me. This was really tight across the shoulders and back for me.

Comfortable and versatile for a winter day
This is a super soft cotton sweater dress. Really comfortable and it held it shape all day which is a concern for me with this type of material. It was a great weight for the cold weather here. I did wear it for drinks after work and got a little warm but, the dress is so comfortable it didn't matter. The dressy buttons set it apart from just a plain black dress. The ruffle in the front is also a cute touch but, one side flopped over a lot. I actually stapled it into place (fashion tape wouldn't stick) and you couldn't see the staple because of how it folded. I would probably rent this again. Great for a winter day or night, I wore with tights.

Casual/dressy
Worked perfect for an event that was both casual and dressy. Paired with jeans, I felt great and got a ton of compliments. I wore my own tank under because I didn't like how the one that came with it rode up (was small on me). The arms were tight but didn't bother me during the evening. I am usually between a 14 and a 16 with a large bust.

Get dress for many occasions.
I've learned this brand runs small. Normally a 16 I went up to the 20. This was the 2nd time I ordered this dress in a different color. I love it. Can be for work or a more formal event.
