LOVE ELIZABETH&JAMES
Awesome dress, amazing material, cool cut outs, and beautiful color. Rented a size 8 and wore the back up. This dress is super tight and definitely ran smaller than other designers I've rented.

Perfect engagement photo dress!
I've gotten more compliments on this dress than any other I've rented, by far. It was super flattering and chic, but does run small (both dresses I've worn from this line have run small). It was easy to move in and a great shape and material. Absolutely adored it!

I wore this dress to my high school homecoming.
The dress stood out and was comfortable and a beautiful color.

Absolutely gorgeous dress! Entire experience was beyond my expectations!
This was my first experience with Rent the Runway and I could not be more satisfied! The dress was absolutely beautiful. I wore it to my best friend's wedding and I've never received so many compliments in my life. The color is an awesome bright coral, much more bright in person. From the front, the dress seems quite formal, but the side and back cutouts make it super fun and very sexy! I typically wear between a 0 and 2, but reading the reviews I decided to go up a size and ordered the 2 and 4. Both sizes fit, but I'm glad I went with the larger as I was running around all day long. It was incredibly comfortable, made with a very thick and high quality fabric. I could've kept this dress, it was extremely hard to send back!

I wore this dress to a wedding. From the color to the cut, it was extremely flattering.
I ordered the size 0 and the size 2. I am almost always a size 0, but I'm so glad I got the 2. because the 0 was very tight! It wouldn't have been comfortable to wear all day/night for a wedding. I loved the cut outs and back. It wasn't too much skin. I wore a black blazer over the dress during the wedding ceremony, it was in a church, and took the blazer off for the reception. The color was absolutely beautiful. And I LOVED the tulip hemline!

Beautiful dress for a late summer wedding!
I wore this dress for a wedding and absolutely loved it! Like other readers I agree that the dress runs small. I usually wear a 2 but the 4 fit perfectly if not a bit tight. I got so many complements on this dress and the color is stunning. The only negative is that it does tend to ride up a bit but it really didn't bother me. I would rent this dress again!

I love the color of this dress and the way it made me feel! Sexy and classy at the same time!
Make sure you order a size up and a backup in your usual size since every body type is different, your true size might fit. The length was perfect and I didn't have to constantly shimmy the skirt down. The photos make it look like it has a stretch but it doesn't have a lot of give.

This dress is by far my favorite RTR! Absolutely perfect for a class reunion! I typically wear a zero and I fit into the zero but decided to wear the 2 because it fit a bit better. Perfect length as it didn't feel to short or to long. I really want to buy this dress now!

Great color, fits perfectly if you size up. Flattering cut outs.
The dress color was a little brighter than pictured, but it's perfect for Summer especially with a tan. I had to size up, I would highly recommend getting a larger size. The larger size fit perfectly, though.

So many compliments on this dress!
The dress definitely runs small and doesn't have much give to it, so as all the other girls have said size up. I would honestly take the larger size of the two sizes your considering and order that size and a size larger. I usually wear a 6 and wore the 8, I would have been curious to see how the 10 fit! Regardless a fab dress! And you can wear a regular bra which is an added bonus! The dress is also a bit brighter pink than it looks in the pics, but very pretty! I would highly recommend!

Beautiful color and quality. Cut outs are fun detail.
My daughter wore this to a reception after winning America's National Teenager Scholarship Pageant. She's 5'6" and wears a 4 or 6 normally. The reviews said it ran small so we rented a 6 and an 8. The 6 was perfect. The dress was perfect on a perfect evening! Once again RTR gets kudos!

Perfect for a night out with great friends!
This dress is so comfortable and fun to wear! I loved the cutouts on the sides and back. Elizabeth and James typically runs small, so the 6 fit perfectly! The hot pink color and unique, asymmetrical hemline were all factors in making this a standout dress!

Received a lot of compliments!
It ran a little small, and was shorter than I expected. The color is great, but it is much brighter in person.. I would say hot/electric coral is more accurate. Overall, it was great and I would rent it again.

Love this dress!
This dress is a lot brighter in person than it appears in the picture. I usually wear a size 4 but since my legs and butt are athletic, it was a tight squeeze so I sized up. I love this dress and I got a lot of compliments on it! It was the perfect length!

Amazing dress!!
Seeeeriously amazing dress! I wore this dress during my bachelorett weekend in San Diego, and I absolutely loved it. The color is more vibrant in the photo, which was a nice surprise for me! The material is nice and thick, so, while tight, it really pulls you in and smooths out any potential bumps. It hit me at mid-thigh and didn't really ride up at all, even though I had a big meal and then went dancing afterwards. Very sexy in a fun, subtle way. I highly recommend this dress!

Perfect dress for a special night out
Absolutely loved this dress! Super figure flattering and the fabric has a nice thickness to it and just the right amount of give. Two call-outs: it is pretty short (for reference, I am 5'8") and the color is brighter in person.

Perfect color!!!
Yet another rental I wanted to keep! I'm glad I sized up for my backup, I didn't even try the 4 on because the 6 was perfect. It was the perfect color, length, and just enough of something extra with the cutouts. The only downfall is trying to find the right undergarments because anything non-smooth will show thru. Would totally rent again!

Stylist Review!
With a stunning fit and the perfect mix of clean and edgy, this Elizabeth and James sheath will be your go to for a fancy night out. The slightly stretchy material hugs nicely to your curves and allows you to go with or without a bra! This dress does run quite small, so I'd definitely size up one size and maybe even two if you're more curvy. At 5'7" it hit at about my mid-thigh. Pair it with a bib necklace and chic rings to finish off your look!

Runs small. vibrant color. a touch of flirty
I loved this dress! I typically wear dresses around 2/4 and renting the dress at a 6 was perfect. The color was adorable, comfortable, except that the sides bunched a bit. My sisters and I were not a part of the bridal party but still in the wedding so it didn't take away from the bride but still was a highly complimented dress! Classy with a wink

Wore this to an all women's tea. At first was a little worried it was too edgy but it worked perfect
Be careful with wearing a bra - definitely put it on the loosest hook to eliminate back fat where the slits are!

I loved the color and sexy side slits!!
This dress was really comfortable and perfect for the outdoor bridal shower I wore it to. It was a little tight in the bust and the back zipper bunched up because I have a small torso but overall it fit well and I didn't need the extra size up. I would wear this again for sure!

It does run small. The color was to die for. When you have a larger chest you have to be careful with a dress that is cut high so that's the only thing I didn't like in some pictures I saw of myself.

Loved this dress! Very cute style.
Loved the dress! I got compliments all night. One thing I didn't like about it was I felt the top was a little baggy, not very tight up top as it was below. The material has a little stretch to it. The color is a brighter pink than what the model showed, but it's very pretty and perfect for a summer wedding!

Love this color!!
The color of this dress is much more bright than the photo but it's incredible for a summer wedding. I would definitely suggest getting a larger size than you typically wear because it runs very small. I usually wear a 6 and ended up wearing an 8. To be honest I could have even morn a 10! Overall I loved this dress and would recommend it to everyone!!!

Easy system!
I am so glad I read reviews and ordered a size up. The shoulders in this dress were really tight so instead of wearing my usual 4 I wore the 6. Comfy fabric, fun back and great for a wedding. The pink color is a little bit more neon than the photos show!

Runs small, very tight!
My original choice dress was unavailable so this and another dress were the ones that came in. Thank god I had the other dress because this one did not fit right. I normally wear a size 6. I've rented before and never had an issue. I got the 6 and an 8 and the 8 was still too tight. It cut into my sides. It's a beautiful dress but it's made small. I had my sister who is normally a size 4 try on the six and that fit her. So if you are thinking about renting size up for sure! Also this dress is not a great choice for a formal wedding. It's very short! And the cut outs come pretty far forward. It's a nice dress just too tight and short. I wouldn't rent this again.

It's a beautiful dress. I loved the color.
BUT... there was no latch at the top and the zipper kept coming down. I'm not sure whether it was just the dress that I received, but it posed a major issue for me (thank goodness for great girlfriends who kept zipping me up all night). For tall women, this dress will be pretty short.

Great, thankful for two sizes.
Runs very small! Size up at least one size. I usually wear a 6, sometimes a 4 in dresses. This one, the 8 was tight but still wearable.

Just OK... Fit was very weird
I normally am a 0 or 2 in dresses, but had to wear the 4 because the sizing was so off. The 2 was just a little big at the top, but very tight around the stomach and hips. I am petite but curvy, and have a smaller waist with larger hips. I felt so uncomfortable in the stomach area, and knew that if I ate anything at the wedding it would be seen through my dress. I opted to wear the 4, which was too big all over, but I didn't have any other choice. The cut and color were really nice, but I would not recommend this dress.
