This dress was so beautiful, and the color is STUNNING. When I first tried it on, I noticed the fit was incredibly flattering for a woman with curves like me, but when it came time to pin the neckline (which is way too low), it sort of lost it's flattering shape and I felt a bit frumpy. I did get a ton of compliments, so maybe some of that was in my head... Oh! and it comes super, super wrinkled. Make sure you get it steamed before wearing.

I rented this as a rehearsal dinner dress for my wedding because it went great with the wedding theme's colors. The pics on the model don't do this dress's color justice-- it is a rich, emerald green with a shiny texture-- almost like a snakeskin. It's a stunningly beautiful material. 

Then we get to the fit-- I have large boobs, and there was no way that this is designed for a person who is a size 12. This dress has a weird belt/sash thing attached that seemed like it didn't quite fit the design and size. The bodice fit me around the rib cage, but then the neckline/cut went WAY below my boobs. I tried it with and without a bra-- there's no way I was wearing that for a classy event. 

The skirt length was long/tea length, which would have been really classy and pretty. Instead, the party-up-top cut with the classy skirt? Not so much. Oh well!



I carefully read reviews before renting this dress so wasn't surprised it was low cut. But the fit overall was very generous, wish the dress came in a petite size.
Pros: gorgeous, rich color and easy classic style. Fabric has a subtle, tone on tone flower print. Easy to wear, had some volume to the skirt and easy to move in. Cons: cut very generously and seems to long everywhere (overall length and length of torso especially). Have safety pins ready! 

I really enjoyed wearing this dress. I am 5'5" and it was a perfect "tea" length on me. I usually wear a size 4, but the 2 here was best. I did not have the same experience as some of the other women with the neckline, and I am a 32 DD (just make sure you have a good bra that doesn't add too much to your bust!). The biggest con was simply that it arrived extremely wrinkled and it took a few more passes with my steamer than other dresses I have worn before - so leave time to get it in shape before you plan to walk out the door. 

This dress looks best if the waist fits tightly, but it is cut for a bust much smaller than mine (32F). I used fashion tape but it didn't hold and I was tugging at the neckline all night to keep my bra tucked in. 

I did really love the dress, though, and I got zillions of compliments. The party for which I rented it was 50a themed so I wore a petticoat under the dress for extra pouf. It does have its own layer of tulle for structure as well. 

Size 4 (my usual size) would have been perfect on me - size 2 was tight in the body.  Skirt part has substantial fabric and lining - kept it’s shape. Has the clips to hold your bra strap at the shoulders. I wish I had gotten it a day earlier so I had time to iron it - you can see the wrinkles in my photo. 

This dress felt very luxe! I looooved the color and the tea length. I wore it for a fall wedding and it was perfect. My only issue (like other reviewers have said) is that it was a little low-cut. I used double-stick tape and seemed to be okay for most of the night. The material is a little on the heavier side, so I wouldn't suggest it for a summer event. Overall, it was a stunner!

Many reviews said it ran big but I thought it ran true to size or even slightly small. Dress was very low cut and I had to pin it. Texture was great and otherwise fit very well.

I positively loved this dress! This was my first time using RTR and after this event, I'd definitely do it again! I wore it to a September wedding and it was comfortable to sit, stand and dance. I'm glad I went a size down for my backup, because the 6 I usually wear was way to big. There was no need for a slip or any special undergarments. I wore a regular bra (there are clips in the dress to make sure the straps stay hidden). The v-neck is very deep, and I did need to use lingerie tape to keep from flashing everyone. Definitely meant for girls with bigger busts than mine. But all around, I loved it. The color is slightly more green in person than on the computer as well. 

Agree, what a gorgeous family you have! You look stunnin

This dress fit perfectly! It wasn't my first choice (the dress I ordered months ago was destroyed so RTR replaced it with this one). I must say that I love this dress and almost didn't return it!!! I think I could have gone with a 2 in this.

I wore this dress to a charity fundraiser that I chaired, so I knew I needed a dress that would photograph well and stay in place while I was lifting boxes, moving around auction items and making speeches.  This dress was perfect on all accounts.  I wore a traditional bra with the straps lengthened an extra few centimeters for the back and I felt confident all night.

I have worn Lela Rose before so I knew I should rent this dress in a small size since it had a loose bottom.  I am normally between a 4 and an 8 wore a 2 and I actually think a 0 might have been even better.  If you are very petite there may be other dresses that are better.  As you can see from my pictures this dress is tea length, which was perfect for the conservative event I attended but something to be aware of if that isn't the look you want.

The material looks expensive but it's polyester so I wasn't in love with the way it felt.  A woman spilled a glass of white wine on the front of me and it was gone in minutes though--so that was definitely a benefit compared to silk.

Overall I was thrilled with this rental--it fits very similarly to the Lela Rose Don't Mind if I Do dress, but even a little larger.  It would be perfect for a family wedding, holiday party or an event in early Spring or Fall.  I think the material would be hot for summer.
