Luxurious Lela Rose
Size worn: 6
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
The dress is fitted through the waist and hips. Spanx and a strapless bra are necessities for the outfit. It is a very luxurious dress with the beaded, tulle cap sleeves. The material for the sheath is thick but would easily work year round as it is not too heavy. I paired the Pave Pyramid bracelet and Southern Plantation earrings with it for a little sparkle. I have rented a lot of dresses from RTR but this dress is potentially my favorite.

Wore this for a special night out at an exclusive restaurant. The fabric is thick and amazing--very figure flattering. Made me feel sexy, but I was plenty covered. Beautiful details. I wish I could have this in my closet. With a pair of pumps, the length was perfectly ladylike.

Being able to wear a beautiful dress to a beautiful wedding in New Orleans!
Size worn: 12
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
The dress fit beautifully. I am 6'1, and so I was worried about the length. It was perfect, and the beading was spectacular. However, there was a rip in the back of the dress when I got it. It was right about the split in a strange spot. I wore tights, so it didn't matter too much. However, I was disappointed, and if the tear would have been any higher, I wouldn't have been able to wear the dress.

Perfect chic LBD!
Size worn: 4
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Party
Other than my wedding dress, this was the best dress I ever had an opportunity to wear. It's classy, the quality of material is great and it fits really well. I wore it to my husband's xmas party and it was a great choice since this dress hits right above the knee and doesn't have a cleavage. It was very easy to accesorize too, since preety much any jewelry, any color shoes or clutch goes with it. To my suprise the top part had a very nice, black little beading all around that geometric pattern that I didn't notice when looking at pics online. I wore size 4 and it gave me just enough room left to squezze a good dinner and dessert without bursting the seams ;) The material is medium thick so it worked out well for a December weather. I would highly recommend this dress. I felt amazing whole night and am sad to give this back...

This was my second Lela Rose rental and I can't wait to rent another. I am fairly tall (5'11") with an hour glass shape and both Lela Rose dresses I have rented have fit like a glove. I rented this dress for an evening wedding and it was absolutely perfect. The geometric detailing along the chest makes the dress more interesting than most LBDs. It was a very classy dress with just a hint of sexy. I wish I owned this one.

My boyfriend's jaw dropped when he saw me in this dress, and I felt so confident wearing it. The beading on top is very pretty, and the fit is flattering.

GORGEOUS! just wish it had fit
Size worn: None
Overall fit: Small

This stunning dress was a back-up I had ordered for a film premier. When my first dress (also stunning but had issues with the boning) did not work out I turned to this beautifully constructed feminine dress. Alas, it runs small and even my suck me in hose and spanks could not keep the dress down where it needed to be. I needed the 6! Because my event was Saturday afternoon and this was Friday eve, the wonderful customer service rep called me back on her way home to check in with me. We both agreed it was impossible to ship another dress for my event and she graciously offered me a future rental as my primary dress could not be worn due to exposed boning in the bodice. This was the right thing to do--GREAT customer service and beautiful quality dresses for those of us who would rather rent for ecological and/or economical reasons. ps: I will rent this dress in the future in the correct size.

Rented this dress for a fancy birthday dinner with my parents. The beading detail at the top is amazing - the photos here don't do it justice. Really gave me a Mad Men sultry vibe - sophisticated and elegant. Great for showing off your curves - I wore some spanx underneath just to feel more streamlined because it was a bit body-hugging.

This dress, was comfortable and very elegant. Wore to black tie wedding. There was a few beads missing at the top of the zipper, and probably due to some difficulty with getting the zipper up and down. Was 1 hem length too long. I am 5'4"

I loved this dress so much I wanted to buy it after renting it. It is very flattering and has such a 40s vibe to it. I was complimented all night on it and was so happy I ordered it as a back up dress since my first choice dress was a dud.

This is a very classic dress with a twist. It is flattering, I would say it runs a little bit small. It is beautifully constructed, I'd love to by this. It's a staple LBD.

I ordered the Lela Rose Ombre dress for a dear friends wedding and because of the generous offer to rent 2nd dress from RTR at a great price I threw in this little number. I wore it to the rehearsal dinner and felt like a million bucks! Very Audrey Hepburn. Sexy in a very sophisticated way

This dress is dynamite. It exudes glamour and sexiness in a old Hollywood kind of way. You do have to wear a strapless with it and the fabric is clingy but it looks the best that way. I am usually a 4-6 and took a 4 in this. Awesome dress, would love to own it.
