The fit and pattern of this dress are out of this world!

This dress is perfect! You can tell it is a well-made dress. The fabric and pattern are stunning. It is figure flattering without being revealing. The pockets add a bit of volume where I need it (not very hippy). I got compliments all night. I wore it to my husband’s work holiday party. I was worried it might be too summery (we live in MN) but it wasn’t! I had originally ordered a different dress that didn’t work and RTR sent me this one overnight! The service was amazing and both dresses were beautiful. The first one just didn’t fit right. I would recommend this dress to anyone for any event and I will recommend RTR to everyone.

Get ready for the Compliments

Not only is this dress just a magnificent combination of colors but the material is soft and lays perfectly, the pockets are fun and noticable without being puffy and you really can wear this dress anywhere. Length was great on me, when standing hit just above my knees. Compliments everywhere i went. would rent again or buy.

Such a flattering fit!

Wore this to my bridal shower, and got so many compliments. Just the right amount of cleavage to be classy but still flirty, and the pockets are great. It arrived a little wrinkly, but that's nothing that a quick ironing couldn't fix. Definitely my favorite rental!

Eye-catching dress!

This dress was recommended to me by Lindsey, a RTR stylist, and I am so glad that she did! The sizes that I usually wear (2 or 4) were not available, but Lindsey thought that I could wear a size 0. The dress fit like a glove and had great side pockets. Many people, especially the fashionable young women attending my niece's wedding, raved about this dress.One friend who is a designer stated that she normally doesn't like colorful print dresses but absolutely loved this one!

The fit of this dress really gave me a lot of confidence. I didnt have to mess with it once the night I wore it.

I want to own this dress, I'm obsessed! The fit could not have been better and the fabric was light and comfortable. The structure around the pockets and shoulders give it a strong shape and make it stand out (of course the great colors also get noticed!). Length was perfect on me, but could be long on those under 5'5".

I felt so sophisticated and beautiful, and the cool pattern gives it a trendy edge.

I would normally not see myself in this dress - the shape is longer/more ladylike than I would normally pick - but when you put it on, this dress is PERFECT. I felt so sophisticated and beautiful, and the cool pattern gives it a trendy edge. Will DEFINITELY wear it again!

Love this dress, looks so great on!

I felt absolutely chic and sophisticated in this dress, and adventurous at the same time with the fabulous print! This dress fits so well, it's extremely flattering, but it does run large, I'm typically a 4 and I wore a 0. Perfect for day to night!

This dress is SO flattering. I absolutely love it. I cannot wait to rent it again. It runs true to size, and is extremely comfortable.

LOVE color, certainly got compliments. Pockets are great!

I knew this would be long on a short gal like myself, but I still loved it. Appropriate for a fall wedding in an artistic city. Material was not as dressy as I hoped, (seemed a bit casual) but it still photographed well. (Arrived looking a bit worn, but still in good shape.) Comfortable, but the color made it playful.

I'm forever going to be a RTR advocate! Worked out perfectly.

This dress was even cuter in person. However I wore a size 10 and it got really loose by the end of the night. And as you see in the picture pretty wrinkled. Still loved it and everyone gave my compliments!

So comfortable (and pockets!)

I absolutely love dresses with pockets! The dress was a bit tight across my rib cage, but once I zipped it up it fit like a glove. The fabric was incredibly comfortable for an all evening wedding and fit the springtime decor nicely. Minus one star because the colors were not as vibrant as portrayed in the pictures.

Unique Dress

I love colorful dresses!!!! Wearing this made me feel like I was wearing a piece of art. Usually for weddings I usually wear soft silk or fancy looking material (AKA SHINY) so this was a bit different for me because this is cotton but the design, style, and fit of the dress makes it look fancy enough for a wedding. I received many compliments on this dress since it is different from the typical solid color garments. This looks better on the person than if you saw it on the rack. It is fitted around the waist and makes you looks skinnier which is awesome. It has pockets but I didn't really utilize them. The cons of having pockets IS if you are standing taking pics from the side view, it may pop out and gives you a look that you have a big tummy when you really don't. So I have to make sure I was standing with my body facing the camera for the dress to not show the pocket bump.

Gorgeous colors

I rented this dress for a convention event and I was looking for something conservative, but still eye-catching. The pattern and colors of this dress are gorgeous and I really felt like it made me stand out in the crowd. The pockets gave me more of an hourglass shape and the neckline was low-cut enough to be sexy in a demure way. The only reason I am giving it 4 out of 5 stars is that it was a little too long for my petite frame. It would be a knock-out on a taller woman.

Fun colors, but less than what I had hoped for

The colors were not as bright as I had hoped and the fit was a little large in the waist/chest area. Unfortunately, RTR only had the size 10 available for the weekend, so I wasn't able to try a smaller size. Since the dress was a little large, I ended up wearing it to the rehearsal/rehearsal dinner and instead wore one of my own dresses to the wedding. The dress was comfortable and he pockets were a nice plus! I probably would have really liked it if it didn't feel so baggy in the waist...

Super fun and colorful!

This dress fit well and accentuated my body type well (busty, broad shoulders & long-legged) and was great for a graduation banquet and ceremony. The only negative was that it clearly had been worn several times as it was starting to form those little fabric balls that let you know when it's almost time to retire one of your faves. But it was definitely comfortable and I received several compliments throughout the day. I wore big earrings, an ivory sweater, and silver shoes with it to the luncheon and black earrings/necklace bad black shoes to the ceremony and it freshened up the look.

The 2 fit true to size, it was very comfortable too. I'm 5'3" and the length hit right below my knee. This dress has pockets, so it was perfect for a dressy work event!

Wore this for a work convention where the vibe was casual/professional. Good choice for me.

I have a larger bust, but this fit really well for me. I wore spanx which improved the fit on my hips and thighs. It was a good choice for my work in a creative industry, it stood out, but was still somewhat modest. I would rent this again.

Surprising my mom by turning her 60th birthday party into a super classy affair!

The dress is pretty thick and structured, which makes it flattering. It actually seemed brighter/bolder in the photo and a little more on the pastel side in real life. It rode up a little bit but not a big deal. The pockets also stick out a little (at least on me), which gave it almost a slight peplum look. I got lots of compliments.

Gorgeous, flattering dress for daytime events

I rented this dress for a summer wedding with a church ceremony and reception elsewhere. The style was perfect for the event - classy for daytime but enough fun to fit in on the dance floor late at night. I ordered an 8 and 10 and the 8 fit super well; I'd say this is somewhere between "true to size" and "runs large" so if you're between sizes plan accordingly. Of note, the patterns on the 8 and the 10 were not the same, and the coloring on the 8 was prettier so I was glad that one fit!

This is a statement dress that I would love the opportunity to purchase. Lela Rose is a favorite designer of mine and this multi-colored extravaganza did not disappoint. As with many of my rentals, I added a belt of my own to cinch the waist further.

Lovely!

The dress is gorgeous in person with vibrant colors and a painterly pattern. It was the perfect choice for an art museum members event. The fabric has a bit of stretch and you can wear a normal bra underneath. The size 4 also fit just fine -- honestly the only reason I opted to wear the 6 was that it was brand new with the tags still on it. Didn't want to send it back!

What a fun dancing dress!

Great dress, great fit, but both dresses I received were pretty worn. Bright colors dulled and a hint of fuzz on the fabric. The 2 and 4 fit extremely similarly. I'm an A/B and there was a little gaping/exposure in the chest area, but not too bad if I kept my posture! Pretty good dress, just a little worn fabric

Perfect for art gallery wedding reception

I rented this dress for a wedding reception at an art space. I am 5'1 "/ 120lb and rented a size 2. It fit like a glove... the top gave me some help in the cleavage dept and the bottom A-line skirt was flattering to my hips. The length was perfect as well... hitting my knees. It's sexy without being too revealing and definitely age appropriate. I paired it with a pair of silver heels and a purple Rebecca Minkoff clutch (also from RTR).

I rented the 6 and 4, I guess my ribcage is wider than most, it was to snug. If the waist was lower

The background color is creamy not WHITE, it looked much brighter in pics. The material is more cottony. Pockets were cute. Bust was snug. I wear an easy 6 in Calvin Klein. Not as dressy as I thought it would be. Comfy fabric for the 10 minutes I had it on. Pockets helped cove small belly bulge.

Splashy. Comfortable. right note between dressy and dressed right!

Fits true to size. I can see the issue with the pockets- they do stick out a little. It's a fun, wonderfully colorful dress[ conservative but still makes a statement. Greta for a work party, class reunion or day wedding or party.

Beautiful colors and Great shape!!

I wore this dress for a wedding, outdoors in Park City. It was a beautiful dress, but definitely runs big. I usually am a 6, and wore the 4 with room. You want it to be a bit tighter too because the fabric definitely has give, which makes it very comfortable to wear. I considered putting a gold belt on it to help add definition, but didn't end up needing it. The colors say enough!! It also has pockets at the exact right spots, so gives you nice curves-- even if you already have them. Nice dress!

Fantastic dress!

Can be dressed up or down. I wore this for a black tie optional wedding in early August and it worked perfectly. The fit was flawless and was super comfortable so I could dance up a storm. The only reason it didn't get 5 stars is, because the dress is made of a cotton blend, there was some pilling and the colors were not as bright as expected.

Great dress to party with!

This was the first dress I ordered from RTR. I am from CA and the wedding was in FL. They shipped it to FL and everything turned out great. I did order 2 sizes just incase but the smaller one fit fine.
