I was so excited to get this dress for a wedding. And it did not disappoint! 

I got the 8 and the 10 just in case but no matter. The 8 fit like a glove. I got compliments all night! I was counting on the empire waist being a little tighter due to the other reviews and they were right. But I'm also tall with a long torso so it worked out. I also found that you really do not need to wear a bra with this if you're a B cup or up.If I did, the goods would have been pushed up to my chin!

I was so sad to send it back. I have been searching for the dress to purchase ever since! Love this dress and can't speak highly enough about it. 

So there was only a size 0 left for the weekend I wanted this dress and I wore it.  I would have preferred a size 2 to have a little more room all around.  But it was too pretty not to wear!  

Loved how great I felt in this dress.  

You look stunning!!  What color shoe do you recommend?? 

Hi! With this dress we recommend a nude shoe or even a metallic could be nice depending on the time of day!

You look amazing! Thanks for all your styling info. :)

The arrival and fit: I was pleasantly surprised when my dressed arrive in its RTR garment bag. I would normally wear a size 6, but that size was not available, and I am so happy I ordered the 8. The dress fit like a glove. 

Accessories: The dress has such beautiful color, so I really wanted these details and pops of color to stand out. I styled the dress with pewter toned shoes and bag. Then I thought to make this a bit more glam, and I accessorized it with a glass, gold and pewter necklace. I love to mix metals! I kept my arms bare and wore a gold and pewter cocktail ring.

I kept my make up simple and rocked a fuchsia/red gloss to bring a pop of color to my face. My polish was a fun pink to bring out the colors in the dress: Strawberry Margherita by OPI.

Pros: BEAUTIFUL dress that was absolutely perfect for the occasion - an outdoor rustic chic soiree. I received tons of compliments on the dress. I was super comfortable and loved to strut my stuff and party in this gorgeous work of art. I loved it so much I had to give it a twirl!!!

Cons: I only have one con and that is that the dress/fabric had a musty scent. 

Love this dress! I wore it to a charity fashion show that I put together. I got tons of compliments! It fit pretty true to size. The top was a bit big on me, but it was was easy enough to tack up on the shoulders. I would definitely recommend it!

I needed a dress for my daughters first communion.  This dress was perfect!  The reception was at a country club.  I wore a sweater for the church to cover my shoulders (our parish is strict with that) and it worked well with it.  I had spotted this dress early in my search but, put my computer aside and went to the mall.  I brought home a bunch of great dresses but, none were really feeling right.  (to judge sizes... i fit into 2 or 0) I remembered rent the runway on the Wednesday before the event.  I called and spoke to a stylist (Talia). We had so much fun shopping around and when we saw that this dress was available, I snagged it!  It was now Thursday.  I needed to rush my order but, had it the next day.  I probably could have used the zero but it was unavailable.  The neckline was a little gappy and the smaller size may have been more snug.... A better fit.    I have a small bust line and my chest and torso are rather small and narrow. i wear xs in tops and zero in jeans. I used fashion tape to the neckline and felt more comfortable as I didn't have to readjust my dress all day.  The bottom flares and has some puff to it.  There is a layer of toole in the skirt.   This dress had people in awe. It is amazing and I would love to have a reason to wear it again.  I wish there were more pictures of me in it but, I'm usually behind the camera. ... And it was my daughter's day anyway.  If you like this dress on your computer screen... You will LOVE LOVE LOVE it in person and feel so special wearing it!! 

This dress was my absolute fav! It was so beautiful, feminine, light, romantic...I could go on with the adjectives! Great fit, if you don't have a large chest, no need for a bra! The only one thing I could see people having issue with is that the bottom of the dress, is really puffy so it might make your hips a bit bigger. 

This is the perfect spring dress.  I wore it to church and my birthday brunch after.  It does have a deep neckline, but it was not inappropriate at all.  I just covered it with a lavender cardigan.  This dress is feminine, sexy, and so comfortable.  I didn't want to take it off! 

I tried this dress on at Saks 5th Avenue on a whim last year. I didn't have an occasion to buy it for at the time, but then I got engaged and boom - I needed the perfect bridal shower dress! I couldn't believe I found it on Rent The Runway! It was meant to be. The 8 fit perfectly, but I felt the bust was too low cut for the event. The size 10 gave me the extra room in the bust that I needed! It arrived in perfect condition and the return process was so simple. Definitely looking into RTR dresses for my rehearsal dinner and wedding brunch! Enjoy!

I wore this to a tea for a women's organization where I was giving a speech.  Loved the fit, I wore a 4 but could have done with a 2 I think.  Great full skirt for a pear and a little cleavage which would make it fun for a wedding as well.  Can't wait to rent Lela Rose again.

As I mentioned, this was absolutely beautiful, like a piece of artwork; the photo does not do it justice, it looks like it has been painted in watercolor. The uneven hem is flattering and unique and the waistline is also flattering. The only con for me was that I had to wear a wrap over it because the bodice wasn't big enough for my chest- I looked WAY too busty. I wore it with a gray wrap and nude pumps.

It was a little longer than I had anticipated, and it has pockets, which were perfect!

This dress is so beautiful! I felt like a Mad Men femme fatale in the gorgeous floral watercolor print and full skirt. The skirt actually has a crinoline under layer which made it feel very foofy and festive and girly and utterly delightful! The very fitted bodice maybe ran a little small, but we got it zipped...just barely!

Those purple shoes really bring out the colors of the dress too!

I loved this dress! It was the one rental I wish I could have kept. I went with the 4 even though the bust was a little snug. It was much more flattering than the 6, giving me that throwback hourglass shape. The skirt was full and the colors were perfect. 

I wore this dress to an outdoor wedding in RI August 2012. I felt gorgeous from the second I put it on. From the beautiful colors, to the soft lining, to the touchable exterior fabric...oh, and the twirling and swishing of the dress wasn't too shabby either... this dress redefined perfection.

I have very few bad things to say about this dress. Here are some things to consider. While I am usually an 8 dress, I had to wear a 10 because my boobs would not have been covered. Also, the waist is alot more fitted than you'd expect. So if you are like me and have a larger rib cage, size up.I have DD boobs and I found it a little more revealing than I normally like; so bigger boobed ladies, take this into account! If you are anywhere hot, this dress can get uncomfortable fast. My only complaint was how poorly the dress breathed, but what do you expect with layers of crinoline?

People were stopping me all night to compliment this dress. I was sad to return it! I wore it for 8 hours and it never looked crushed or anything. You probably don't need a bra with this dress, and as a funny note, when I attempted to wear spanx with this dress, it fit really poorly. When it was all said and done, this dress made me feel like a million bucks; total confidence booster. 

For those of you who haven't used RTR before- The process was super easy, no hassles. I had the dressed shipped to our hotel and then the morning after the event, put both sizes in a USPS envelope they sent, and left it with the hotel to ship. Super easy! I was REALLY happy with how easy they made the process. The dress didn't need any steaming or prep! 

Rent it. Feel like a goddess. Even the bride was jealous :P!

This is the perfect dress for ladies with any height and any bust to show it off in the most ladylike way. I felt so fashionable and sophisticated wearing this dress. The fit was gorgeous - there was crinkly material underneath the skirt to give it some extra poof - perfect for twirling:)
