Cute summer dress
I chose this dress for a somewhat fancy Saturday lunch in NYC. It paired well with flats for walking, but could be dressed up with heels and jewelry. Runs pretty true to size, if not big (it's forgiving through the torso and hips/thighs). Very pretty print- purples with coral accents. Showed a bit of cleavage on me, but I've got 36DD and can't seem to avoid cleavage.

Hot blue number!
I love this dress and am researching buying it! The material is thick but has some stretch- it really holds you in. Very flattering! The straps were a bit long; I wore the smaller size because the straps were less annoying on the smaller size. I went without a bra because it was tight enough, but a strapless bra with a deep plunge would be necessary. Lots of cleavage- very sexy!

Not the dress for big busted ladies!
I rented this dress for vacation because I was in love with the print and colors. It is so low cut in both the front and back! I'm a 36DD, size 12 and it fit like a 12 but was just so low cut. Thankfully, I had a girlfriend who helped me pin it- and it still looked terrible! Made me look much wider than I am. Strapless bra showed in the back. I had to wear it because I didn't have other options, but the fit was not a good look on me. I'm 5'7" and wore flats with the regular length- length was perfect

Looks real!
I loved this necklace so much that I asked for one for Christmas. Every time I wear it, people think its real diamonds. Its really sparkly and gorgeous. When people compliment, I just say thank you and don't tell them my secret ;) They usually compliment my husband on it too! At least he can say that he gave it to me

Perfect for 20s themed NYE!
This necklace is nice and chunky- perfect for a 20s themed event. I liked that the strands were a little mixed up and not too perfect.

Great shape and color
I rented this dress for a fundraiser for domestic violence prevention, so the purple color was perfect (purple is the color of dv prevention). I think a peplum is very flattering on me, and this dress looked great from the front and the back. The fabric was a bit thin, unfortunately, and it felt delicate, which is probably why the rental price is a little less than her other dresses. Actually, there was a tear on the left side of the peplum at the seam that I fixed with hem tape. Lela Rose usually runs small on me, but this dress was forgiving in the stomach and hips. I probably could have worn the 10 if my chest was smaller. I paired it with the Crislu tennis necklace (that I've previously rented but have since purchased) and it looked great! (Everyone thinks its real !)

Runs large- very full in the belly.
This was my backup dress and I didn't need to wear it. The color is amazing in person. A 10 would have been better for me- it was very large through the belly (and I have a bit of a belly!). I wanted a purple dress, but this was probably too casual for my formal fundraiser.

Fitted but forgiving.
The dress was beautiful in person. I wore it to a fundraising event to prevent domestic violence (so the purple color was very appropriate). The fabric is stretchy, so would fit many body types- maybe even early pregnancy. I wore spanx to minimize my belly but it showed a bit anyway. I found that the Long was way too long- the Regular length was perfect for me with 4" heels. The boning was poking through the front, although it wasn't visible and didn't poke me. The lace at the top of the dress looked a bit frayed- the dress has clearly been worn quite a bit. Overall, a beautiful dress!

Red hot!
Zac Posen is great! I wish I could afford to purchase his dresses- thank goodness for RTR. This was my backup dress, and I didn't need to wear it, but will rent it again- maybe for a Xmas party. Fitted design is waist cinching without being too tight. I could zip up the 10, but the 12 looked better on my curvy figure. The fabric is thick but a little stretchy. It would be great for travel, as it won't wrinkle. Panels and seaming are very flattering.

Great party dress!
This dress was a backup because my original choice was damaged. Zac Posen really knows how to dress a woman! It was really great construction. The fabric is nice and thick, so no bulges showed. It would be a great travel dress, as it won't wrinkle. My bust is big, so there was a lot of cleavage, but it worked for a night on the town! And it wasn't too short- just above the knee on me (5' 7").

Pretty dress, but not for me.
I loved the color and thought the drape would work well to cover my belly, but I was unable to wear this dress to my dinner. The fit was snug and it was far shorter on me than on the model (I'm 5' 7", so probably shorter than the model). The dealbreaker: the lining was hanging down on the front of the dress and very visible. It also had a very deep neckline and had evident of pin holes where previous renters had pinned it. Pretty in pictures, but I would not rent again :(

Great dress, but lots of cleavage!
I rented this dress for a trip to NYC. It's sheath style was very flattering and the color was gorgeous, but the neckline is cut very low. I have a large chest and was pretty self conscious about the amount of cleavage showing. I also rented the necklace shown and it looked great! I would definitely rent another Rachel Roy dress, but probably not this one.
