Gorgeous dress, but a broken zipper made it impossible to wear.
This dress runs true to size. The 6R was the perfect fit and length for me to wear with 3" heels; however, the zipper kept getting stuck where the material is gathered around the waist. The zipper actually broke before my event. I called RTR and they sent me the 8R, which still would have worked size wise, but it was way too long... At least 3 inches too long with heels on. I tried to pin it around the waist, but ended up giving up and wearing my backup dress. If you rent the 6R make sure the zipper has been fixed!

This was my backup dress, but I ended up wearing it because the other dress broke!
The 6R was sooo short! I am not tall (5'4"), and I had to wear flats with this dress and it was still an inch or so short. The dress looked really casual because of the jersey material and the fact that I couldn't wear heels with it. I think it would be cute for a summer or beach wedding, but don't rent if you are looking for something that is strictly black tie.

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.

Melon Navajo Dress

This is a gorgeous dress, perfect for wedding and baby showers. The dress runs true to size, and in fact I had a little more room than I usually do in Lela Rose dresses of the same size. There is a bit of a sparkle to the dress and the belt snaps into the waist. I would definitely recommend this dress to others!

Beautiful Lela Rose dress; it runs true to size. The color is a little darker than appears in the photo and perfect for fall weddings and events. I will agree with the others that the plastic boning sticks out and pokes you in the armpits, but it was kind of worth it!

I rented the Medium size of this dress and it was damaged when I received it; there were holes down both sides where the seams had ripped. Make sure this is fixed before renting!
