It was so incredible easy to do & something I would never buy myself - so felt so special!

I was a little nervous to receive the dress after I read some reviews that the material was pretty worn in. I will say that you have to expect for it to be somewhat, and this type of fabric did make it a little more so than usual, but I felt like it was not noticeable unless you were verrrrrry close to the dress. So I was completely fine with it! Thought it fit great, and it felt so special for my close friend's wedding! People asked me where I got it all night....

I love this dress! I wore it for a wedding and got so many compliments. The color is beautiful and the cut is stunning. I wore it with Green Kendra Scott Danielle earrings which looked great. It would also look great with turquoise jewelry. Five stars!

Weird sizing - too small!
Size worn: None
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Wedding
I'm usually an 8, but this 8 wouldn't even zip! It was clearly strange, as another Lela Rose dress in a 10 was enormous. Not sure what was going on, but the dress was pretty in person.

Wedding in Arizona
Size worn: 4
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
This dress was perfect for a cool spring night wedding in Scottsdale. The color was great and the belt pattern was really interesting. It fit fine although it was a bit restricting in the arm and the lining kept showing when I sat down. The main problem was the draping seemed to be a little off due to too much wear and tear. The fabric was also very tattered in areas. I still wore it, but wished it was in better condition. Both my size and the back up size were similar in that respect.

i rented this for a wedding in march and absolutely loved it. the one shoulder does restrict how high you can raise your arms and but it stretch out a bit, by the end of the night it was falling off my shoulder.

Fall wedding
Size worn: 10
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
I wore this dress to a fall wedding and received tons of compliments. Color is beautiful. Only downside is that the one shoulder is very restrictive for dancing. I am a C cup and typically wear an 8 or 10 - wore the 10 as the 8 was too small in the bust. Overall a great experience with RTR.

Beautiful dress. I wore it to a wedding and received lots of compliments. I typically wear a 6/8, but the 10 in this dress fit like a glove. In regards to a previous comment, I will warn that this dress does indeed look a little 'used' to close inspection. The fabric was a bit picked, which can't be surprising considering that it's a delicate silk. Regardless, it's not something that someone else could tell, so it didn't really bother me. The sz. 10 I received was in better shape than the 8. All around, I recommend this dress...it is beautifully constructed, unique and a wonderful bright color.

This dress is a no no. Once upon a time it was a beutiful dress but now is horrible. It has shrink and it looks so work out like something you have put in the loundry hundreds of times. I order size 2 and 4. UGLY.

This dress was outstanding for an equestrian/country wedding this past weekend. The color is really beautiful and the shape is very modern with lots of angled tucks and darts, so it definitely stood out. It says a lot about this dress to have ended up so awesome considering there were some serious issues...I am normally a zero, but ended up taking the two so I could actually sit and eat. Unfortunately, only the zero belt came and the two's shoulder strap had broken off. Emergency? Well, thank god for fashion tape, and some industrious friends! I eventually tucked the shoulder piece into the bustier of the dress and it looked A-OK as a strapless edit. Another drawback was that the fabric was a little frayed (sensitive and perhaps from a lot of dry cleaning) but that does not show unless you get really close up. I looked great in the pictures and got lots of compliments, but I wish the dress had come in better condition.

I rented this dress in a size 8, which is my standard size for Lela Rose. The dress arrived damaged and appeared to have been shrunk by the dry cleaners - it was so tiny, almost child size. If you plan to rent the size 8 make sure it is a different dress than the damaged one. I wish it would have worked because I love this dress.

This dress is BEAUTIFUL. I wore it to my bridal shower and loved it. My only negative, though, is that the shoulder sleeve can be a bit restrictive when extending your arm out or up very far. I am normally a size 4, and it fit, but if my backup size 6 had been available its likely I would have worn that for more room in the ribcage and shoulder. Also, since I was sitting a lot, the extra room would have been nice so I didn't have to worry about the lining popping out of the bottom of the dress. However, since the liner is attached to the hem and orange in color, it wasn't a huge deal. Fun outfit that can be dressed up or down!

Absolutely fabulous dress! I wore this dress to a wedding and received tons of compliments! Definitely a "look at me" dress but in the best possible way. I am consistently a size 8 and a Dcup the 8 fit perfectly. I highly recommend this dress.
