LOVED

I loved this dress so much. Rented it for a fall wedding and it was perfect. Very form fitting, quality fabric, great color. FYI the color is more of a dark greenish teal than the product photo. Would (and probably will) rent again.

Perfect for headshots

I wore this dress for new business headshots. The color and style were perfect. Like all E&J dresses, order one size up. I'm a 2 in most brands, but a 4 in E&J. The 4 fit perfectly.

Simple but sweet!

Love this dress! Material and fit were very flattering. Snug fit but enough give that I could breathe. The color was a lot more vibrant than in the picture. It was the most comfortable dress I've rented probably ever. Would rent 100x and in any color!

Beautiful Color, Runs Small

Echoing other reviews, this dress definitely runs small - I am between a 2/4 and ordered a 4 and the 6. Unfortunately, the 6 was unable to be delivered and I wore the 4. It was very tight and I think the size up would've been the perfect fit. The color is stunning and was the perfect, simple dress for a spring wedding!

Gorgeous green dress

It's tight in the waist and tip across the chest. Better for smaller chested girls. Beautiful color!

Runs Small, but looks great!

This dress is SO flattering and classy, I just loved it! It does run quite small, and there's not a lot of stretch in the fabric, so size up for sure! The next size up wasn't available for me, and the 0 was really pushing it. I did wear it, but only to the ceremony of the wedding I was attending- it was so tight I actually changed into my backup dress before the reception! That wasn't the dress's fault though, and it really is a beauty. The color is a little deeper than it looks online, but it's totally gorgeous! The length is quite flattering for a petite frame. Just be sure to get a larger size as backup, and you'll be golden!

Simple but cute

This dress wasn't as unique as the dresses I usually rent from RTR but it still was high quality and fit great and I l loved the color. I ended up wearing the 2 though I am usually a 0. I wore a strapless bra. Not the best dress for dancing but overall a great dress!

Loved this dress

This dress was super fitted but the fabric was stretchy. Fit great and I loved it. Would definitely rent it again. Biggest downside was that I couldn't reach the zipper by myself so putting it on and taking it off was a challenge.

Vibrant, comfortable dress

I wore this for my engagement photos and loved it. It's very comfortable and easy to move around in. The silhouette is flattering for an athletic figure. Usually Elizabeth and James dresses run small so I rented the 6 and the 8 (I'm usually a 6 and very rarely a 4). I went with the 6, which was a little form fitting, because the 8 was too big in the torso -- just something for my fellow short torso-ed ladies to keep in mind.

The people I spent time with!

This dress was perfect for the La Jolla wedding I attended. Body hugging, the color was fabulous and I got lots of compliments on it. I ordered the 2 and the 4 as an option and went with the 4 just for a little more wiggle room but both were great fits with nice lining as well. Would rent this dress over and over again!

A staple I would love to have in my wardrobe!

Elizabeth and James run pretty tight but I stayed with my normal size. Love the fit and cut of the neck. Was perfect for the event and I was comfortable ALL night. Highly recommend for a very chic and structured look!

This dress is fabulous

As with all E&J dresses, this too, ran small. I read the reviews and followed other renters leads and sized up like I would've anyway due to history with Elizabeth and James. I am normally a 2 or can wear a 4....so i ordered a 4 and a 6. Both fit great but I chose to wear the 6, since it had more room as I would be seated for a good amount of time. I also have 34 DD chest and didn't need a bra. This dress was amazing. It's a little darker and a slight teal undertone, not a true teal in color, but still gorgeous. You won't be sorry. Rent this dress but size up!

Felt amazing in the dress!

I normally wear a size 10 and this dress fit perfectly. It was a little snug but I wouldn't say it was small. I felt amazing and got so many compliments! I would absolutely wear this dress again.

Form Fitting Stunner

Loved the look of this dress, but it definitely fits like a glove. I'm typically a 4 in most styles, & order a 6 as my backup size. The 4 fit well when I was standing but was a bit uncomfortable to sit in for dinner, RTR didn't have the 6 available to ship for my order. Would be curious to try on the 6 to compare. Overall, I think this dress is great if you're looking for an hourglass shape!

This dress was an absolute stunner. I would rent again or even buy! I felt gorgeous in this dress.

Very figure flattering- I got compliments all night! The color was also a nice change from my standard black. It is definitely a tight dress, I had to be careful sitting down, but I had no problems dancing! I typically wear a 0-2 and did size up to a 4 in this dress. The 2 did fit, but the 4 was much more comfortable for the night.

Felt great, looked great!

Loved the color! Wore this to a friend's wedding in May and got tons of compliments. It was the perfect style/color combo for the warm weather during the ceremony and breezy outdoor reception at night (brought a shawl to keep warm). Dress wasn't completely fitted in the legs/body so occasionally the material would ride up and gather around my waist - I found myself pulling it down a lot. Chest was tighter (than the bottom of the dress) but nothing that should deter anyone from renting. Didn't need to wear a bra and was very comfortable to wear. Would rent again!

Fit like it was made for me

I love this dress! I felt amazing in it. The fabric was thick enough to feel very supportive but not too hot. Both the 4 and the 6 fit but the 6 gave me a little more room so I went with that one. Would absolutely recommend!

I have a pretty straight body (no hips) and I love that this dress gave me shape! Runs small, I'm normally a 2. It was easier to breathe in the Size 6 but it looked loose on me.

This dress was a hit and I could even eat the donuts!

I typically wear a size 4 and it fit and zipped up just fine but I knew that I wouldn't have felt comfortable in it for the whole night so I went ahead and wore the size 6. It's a great length and the color was a deep teal color. This was my first experience with RTR and I am definitely recommending it to friends and will be renting in the future.

Amazing! Great color, perfect for a summer wedding.

This dress was amazing - would definitely rent again. I have even been getting requests for where I got it from a year after I wore it! The color is amazing (especially with a summer glow), and is also appropriate for a summer, evening wedding. I usually wear size 0-2, and both fit, but I decided to go with the 2 because it was less snug and more appropriate for a formal occasion. I am almost 5'2, so I was worried that it would be too long, but it hit me right below the knee and was incredibly flattering - not too long considering it is very form fitting. This line tends to run small so would recommend sizing up on the backup size. SO flattering and a great rental!

Absolutely fell in love, would even buy!

I went to a late June wedding in this dress and I've been looking for any excuse to order it again for an event! Never stretched out and fit perfect on my body. Light material and comfortable material. Hugged in all the right place. May run a little small, I had to wear my back up size! Highly Recommend!!

Great dress, universally flattering!

The reviews say this dress runs a bit small so I got the 4-6 instead of my usual 2-4 and I found it to be true. I think this dress would be so flattering on every body type. Really elegant. It holds you in without needing any spanx. The only thing is that the color in person reads a little greener than the pictures online.
