Feminine and Stunning

This dress was just as stunning in real as it was online! I received so many compliments and "Are you a model?" questions. This dress fitted true to size and I was initially anxious that it would not fit as I did not get a backup size. Thankfully, I got the zip on the side up without strapless bra. The kicker was using the rest room in this dress. Also, if attending a wedding don't try catching the bouquet...I had an incident that resulted in a wardrobe malfunction. But thanks to RTR insurance I was covered. Overall, I loved this dress and I will definitely rent more dresses from Lela Rose as she adds that sophisticated and feminine touch I like in a dress.

Stunning

I rented this dress for a wedding rehearsal dinner at a winery in Napa. I love this dress. It is so flattering and cool. Its feminine but edgy. I want to buy this dress. I will definitely rent this dress again for another event. Best rental so far! (When I rented this, I was a size larger. Now I think I would need an 8, my stangard size now).

Absolutely gorgeous!

I just adored this dress! I've rented a Lela Rose dress before and loved the fit, and this one did not disappoint. I received many compliments and it worked well for a California wedding. The zipper was a tricky one so I did need help with it, but otherwise it was fabulous!

Unique design with a classic fit!

The 6 was a little baggy fitting, but I couldn't get the zipper up my back on the size 4. This dress was so unique and classic at the same time. I loved the fit and received many compliments! It was very worn looking and had a small tear in the armpit, but it went unnoticed.

Stunning dress

I LOVE this dress. I received so many compliments. The fabric and design are so unique and beautiful. I will be renting this dress again. - The top was a little loose (i have a smaller rib cage but larger bust) but a strapless bra helped with this. - Little tight through hip area, but able to walk and sit.

Perfect for a summer Soiree!

This dress impeccably tailored, nipping in at the waist and contoured/shaped my figure nicely. Slight gathering at the natural waist was also very flattering, and allowed for movement and eating. The fabric was beautiful, the abstract floral print over the bright pink had a subtle sheen to it and a great weight. The length hit just at the knee, giving the dress a more demure feel. I felt great in this dress, unique but not overdone!

Flattering and fabulous!

I wore this dress to a black-tie optional fundraiser gala in New Orleans. This little number was very figure-flattering and I loved the length. The dress was really comfortable and I was able to wear a regular strapless bra. I had an amazing time at the event, felt fantastic, and received many compliments throughout the evening.

Endless strangers coming up to me!!

This is definitely one of my favorite dresses from Rent the Runway. I have had my eye on this dress for awhile, mainly because I truly believe every woman in the reviews section looks gorgeous. The color is to die for, the fit is fantastic and the compliments are endless. One note: I'm small on top so did use a piece of fashion tape to prevent any gaps. Hurry and book this dress!

It was such a cute dress and very flattering on all body types.

Runs a bit on the small side, but it definitely is worth the trouble of squeezing into it.

This was a last minute swapped dress that worked out wonderfully.

The color, print and fit is stunning on this dress. I'm a petite size 0 or 2 with an hourglass shape. Because of my bust (30C) and hips (36) , the 2 fits better. And because of my height, 5'2', the length fell just below the largest part of my calf which was flattering. For those that with smaller bust size, I would advise to go with the smaller size assuming that your hips are smaller than 36". For the event I went to, 56th Annual Grammys, most wear dressed in evening attire and the typical long gown. I wanted to bring a pop of color and this dress worked perfectly.

The color on is just FAB!

This dress was a big shocker in terms of what it looks like on the hanger vs. when you put it on! Normally I probably would not have gravitated toward this dress, but after a suggestion from a friend I agreed to give it a try! When I put it on and looked in the mirror I felt amazing! The color was so bright and I feel it worked great with my skin tone! The cap sleeve was so cute, a little tight and awkward when trying to reach for things, but felt it gave the dress a unique feel. I would definitely recommend this dress to anyone wanting to stand out, or just look FAB at your next event!

This dress was fun and unique. The 80's should wasn't as extreme and I was expecting which was actually a good thing. A little tight around the hips but still was able to fit into my normal size.

Gorgeous color and structured shape.

The details are perfect for a feminine look with some modern pop. Color is more coral in person. The waist was a little tighter then I anticipated, but it held nicely. Great color and pattern, worn for our engagement party! Of course I wanted to stand out a bit.

Lela Rose perfection

I fell in love with this dress from the moment I saw it and it did not disappoint. I'm usually a 2, but Lela Rose usually runs big and I often wear a 0. It pulled a little around the hips, but definitely fit better than the size 2. The fabric is gorgeous and I loved the entire outfit from bag to bracelet as well.

Perfect for a spring charity event. The color was perfect and it fit perfectly!

The dress is beautiful and the only reason for 4 stars is because the hem wasn't pressed on the natural fold but it wasn't very noticeable because of the fabric.

Wedding celebration!!

This dress was gorgeous! The color was amazing and though it ran small and I went up a size, it fit well! It does wrinkle easily, so if you are going to travel with it or sit for a long time, be prepared for a few wrinkles, but otherwise, it was a fantastic spring wedding option. The one shoulder was a beautiful and sophisticated classic look! I would

LOTS of compliments

Chose this dress for a wedding. Dress is made of quality, elegant silk fabric. I thought it ran a bit big (hit a bit below knees and not as snug fitting in chest and waist area as I would have wanted) but since RTR didn't have my backup size 4 I just went with it. Needed some double stick tape for the top by my breast area but overall, it fit very elegantly and is different than other typical dresses. The color is gorgeous. Also, in a way, it was better that the fit was forgiving because after several drinks and appetizers it was nice to not feel to tight in the dress. So I felt comfortable all night and got up to dance and so many random people kept complimenting me on the dress. It's a dress I would definitely would want to keep. My husband loved the dress and I loved the earrings I chose as well.

Such a pretty dress! Very feminine and demure, but still fun.

Fit was true to size - I'm pretty much always a 2 in dresses. There seemed to be extra room in the stomach area, which was a little weird - it poufed out, which was not the most flattering, but that's my only complaint. I'm short - 5'2 - and the dress hit at the knee, so I might not recommend it for someone shorter than me. I love the cap sleeve and the top fits perfectly (although, as others have said, the sleeve is a little restricting, but I danced just fine!). Definitely recommend.

From the one-shoulder cut to the unique design, this dress turned heads all night!

I wore this for an evening cocktail party wedding reception. The attire was "summer cocktail" and this dress fit the bill perfectly. The color is a lot deeper pink - even more of a coral color - than is shown on the model, but it is still really beautiful in person. The fit was true to size. Although there is no give in the fabric, there is a little room in the torso area so it hid my tummy area very well. I had enough room in the thigh area to dance, but the pencil skirt did make going up and down stairs a little challenging. The only reason I didn't give this five stars was because the exposed shoulder side of the dress came a little too low and exposed some of my strapless bra throughout the night. Despite using some fashion tape to secure the dress, it did come loose while I was on the dance floor, so I found myself adjusting the dress pretty often. Overall, though, this is the PERFECT dress for a summer cocktail party.

Can't wait to rent again! Fabulous!

The dress was lovely. It was perfect for both the church and wedding reception later that evening. I wore the size four and received many compliments. The only cons to the dress are things that shouldn't really deter you from renting it, but rather you should just want to be aware of. Since the dress was fitted (and I'm not used to dresses that are a-line), it was restrictive in leg movement. I "struggled" to get in and out of the car because I wasn't used to this type of garment, and I also couldn't raise the arm with the sleeve above shoulder height. Aside from those idiosyncrasies, it was a wonderful dress.

Gorgeous print dress

Had to attend a black tie optional wedding at a vineyard and wanted something that would work for summer but still look nice and formal. This was a great dress, the dress is very lightweight and breathable for the summer. With accessories it really made the dress more formal and the color and cut were so different, I got some really nice compliments during the evening. My only complaint was I ordered one size too large, unfortunately RTR didn't have this dress in a size 8. But with some double sided tape it worked.

Sleek, Sophisticated and Fun

This is a shockingly beautifully crafted dress. The fabric and structure is really well suited to providing a lovely silhouette. Unfortunately, I was approximately a size too large to wear this dress which, I discovered upon its arrival. To say I was bummed not to wear it is an understatement. I would happily rent this again to actually wear!

I loved this dress! Elegant and hard not to notice with all of that pink!

The two was unavailable, so I had to squeeze into the zero. (I would never have been able to get into it without the help of my husband's zipping skills.) Because it was admittedly a tight fit, the back seam kept inching toward one side and I was constantly correcting it. Other than that, no complaints!

Amazing!

I wore the size 4 and it fit perfectly. I am 5'10 and the dress came right to the top of my knee (like the model in the picture) so if you're not as tall, this dress will more than likely fall below your knee. The color and the fabric of this dress are phenomenal and look incredibly luxe in person. I received so many compliments on this dress - it is just absolutely stunning and I wish I owned it in real life!

Lovely fabric and cut

This Lela Rose is magnificent. The cut is very flattering. The waist is nicely tailored, the neckline draws attention to the collarbone (without being at all revealing!), and the single cap sleeve slims the arm. Also the fabric is beyond gorgeous and definitely takes the dress visibly to the "premier designer" level. Colors are vibrant. I would say the dress runs approximately true to size, but maybe a little large in the hips and a little small in the bust. Also, note that the fabric does not have much give and is knee length, so a little tough to get to wild on the dance floor.

Nice dress

I thought this would be my first choice for a rehearsal dinner. However I found the color of this dress seemed more muted in person. It was also a weird length that isn't great for dancing. Luckily I loved my backup. Fit was nice, just not the wow factor I was going for.
