I am in LOVE with the dress! I'm even considering buying it. The burnt color is gorgeous, perfect for fall. Definitely size up; I'm a 4, sometimes 6, and the 6 hugged me (everywhere!) perfectly. Classy but sexy because of the fit and slit. I wore it out to dinner with my husband's clients but it would be great for a wedding or other formal event. 

This fit very snug but looked great on. Dress seems basic but made me look smoking hot! I wore it for my anniversary celebration which was a ringside boxing match with friends. Got compliments all night!

The material is thick enough that I opted to not use a bra. I usually wear a size 6 so I thought the size was spot on. The fit of the dress is tight so size up if you’re wanting more room. 

Comfortable and classy! Had lots of compliments on this one. 

It runs small, but I wasn't able to select that option. I got a a size 2 and I'm typically a size 0. The fabric is fantastic and the color is lovely.

Loved this dress for a fall wedding. Great fit, hugged my body. The slit on the side was perfect! Got lots of compliments and felt amazing! The color was absolutely beautiful. 

This dress fit like a glove but it has stretch so it is super comfy. I was able to dance and sit with no issues.  The fabric is thick and not see through. It runs small. I wore the bigger size but still had no room left in the bust. I am a DDD so it is prob not an issue with a smaller chest. Received so many compliments! 

Fit like a glove and loved how classy yet sexy the dress is. Would absolutely rent again. It really hugs your curves and the material is well made. Can move in it for dancing too! 

This was my second option dress for a friend's wedding. It was really hard to pick between this dress and the other. I ended up going with the other because this dress was slightly on the smaller side and it was an outdoor afternoon wedding with the day's temperature was near 90 degrees. I didn't want pictures with potential sweat marks all day long. 

This dress has been on my list of ones to try renting and I am so glad I did! The color is so rich, gorgeous and unique, perfect for the start of fall! So many compliments, very flattering hugging the curves, only downfall is the waist was a bit tight when it came to dinner! Comfortable for walking and dancing, but size up! The 2 fit like a 0 for me, wish I got a backup in a 4!
Overall, HIGHLY recommend for its unique factor!

The dress ran small as many of the reviews mention. I’m normally a 6 and wore an 8 but it was very comfy and I was able to dance in it. The only uncomfortable part was having to wear a strapless bra. Overall I felt really good in it and received a lot of compliments on it! Perfect for fall. 

Absolutely loved this dress! It was tight but the thick fabric smooths everything out. Probably could have worn a 2 but I have no hips so I appreciated how the 0 held the very minimal curves I do have. Comfortable considering the snug fit and the slit made for easy walking without revealing anything when sitting down. Would 100% rent again!

Beautiful dress - great fabric - flattering and approved for tall women! But does run quite small as stated in previous reviews. I had to return the size 8 and size up. Highly recommend.

The dress was a bit long for me but didn't look odd. Very stretchy and flattering -I have some muscles so I need the stretch. I wore the 6 although I'm usually a 2 or maybe 4. My broader back and booty probably contributed to that. 

I love this dress and felt so comfortable in it. It does run on the small side so I ordered a size up and it fit perfectly. I would definitely rent this dress again. 

I rented this for my graduation but it was definitely tight on my chest but it fit beautifully and I got a million compliments! Would def rent again!

Definitely go a size up like others say. This dress is perfect for hourglass/athletic shape. The cut around the neck didn't make my arms look giant. The fabric was perfect weight and comfortable. I had to do a lot of running around in this dress, and I had no issue there either.

Loved the look and fit of this dress. Definitely does run small so I would size up. Elizabeth & James knows what they're doing! This dress made me feel great and I received a ton of compliments. Would 100% recommend!

It's a tight fit but comfortable fabric and moved with ease. I received LOADS of compliments and felt all night gorgeous. I wore it to a work party and felt appropriate in that setting. Highly recommended. 

This dress fits like a glove with nice thick material. My husband loved it! 

So flattering and sexy without being too much. Loved this. 

Slightly snug - perhaps size up if you don't want to show your figure as much. Loved the color and style!

Great dress-- love this brand, love the cut, love the color, LOVE LOVE LOVE

Looked as flattering as it felt. Definitely worth ordering the back up size and deciding between the two. I cannot wait to rent this again. 

I am glad I got a size 8 because I got a little thick. I consider myself an athletic build. It was comfortable and pretty. 

Loved the color and small slit. Ran very small and was snug around the waist. 

It ran small. It's a fitting dress and the fabric does not stretch. Great fit though once I wore the size 10. I usually wear 6 so I definitely got lucky that was the only backup size they had. I would rent this dress again though!

A very cute dress would recommend wearing Spanx or some type of shapewear because it is clingy but it does stretch. It was quite comfortable to wear and I got a lot of compliments.  I ordered a 4 and a 6 and the 6 was a little loose in the wrong areas. 

I'm 5'3 107 lbs I rented size 0 and size 2 for a backup. The 2 is a little loose in the back for me, the 0 fits perfectly. I would recommend these dress for a small frame figure, as it runs small and tight. The dress is sophisticated, classy with a touch of fun. It's absolutely gorgeous !!

Tight fit, I ordered an 8 and 10...could've worn the 8, but the 10 fit nice a snug with a tad more breathing room. 36C bust, I was able to go braless since the dress was so fitted in the bust! Loved this dress, got lots of compliments on the Las Vegas strip!

I wore the zero and the material was tight to make it slimming, yet stretchy enough to keep it very comfortable. Easy to dance in! The color was a bit different than the photo, in my opinion. It also cut on my upper arms creating a "bra fat" look that was a bit unflattering. Otherwise, comfortable and photographed great!

I wore this to a bachelorette party in NYC. The fit was small so I went with the 8, but it was the perfect length with just a small slit and hugs your curves. I MISS THIS DRESS lol 

I ordered this dress in a 10 and an 8- I would have preferred to wear the 10 but it had 2 holes in it and my replacement didn't arrive in time. The 8 fit but was a bit tight for my taste- I had to ask a few friends if I looked slutty (I'm not sure how honest they were!) I did wear some spanx with it to make sure everything was in its place! It worked out fine and I think it looks nice in the pictures. I didn't feel restricted dancing which is a plus as I really shine on the dance floor!! ;) 

This dress was perfect for a night out with friends. I usually wear a size 2 and ordered a backup size 4 since the reviews said the dress runs small. I opted to wear the size 2 since it fit me nicely and paired it with some beige pumps. I got so many compliments and felt amazing in it!

I got this dress for a wedding rehearsal dinner (I'm on the far right in picture). I got both size 2 and 0. I am 5'4 108 pounds and the size 0 was way to tight. The 2 fit a lot better. Very pretty cut and color! Is tight up top near chest area and mid section. Great for a formal fall event!

I rented this as my backup dress for a fall wedding. I had a tough time deciding between this and my first choice but ended up going with my original. I'm consistently a 4P in Banana/J. Crew and I rented the 4. It was a bit snug in the waist and I'd probably size up if renting again (more hope for eating/dancing). Even though I'm short, I thought the length was appropriate on me. You can't wear a bra with straps because of the cut of the neckline--so strapless of braless is the way to go. You could wear shapewear if desired but nothing with longer shorts because of the slit. The material is thick with a little give. Overall great simple on-trend dress in the perfect fall color.  

Beautiful dress form fitting yet comfortable 

Dress was suuuuuper tight, so size up. I'm usually a 4 and a had to squeeze into a 6. Would've been more comfortable in an 8. If you got a booty, definitely size up 2x. However, the tight fit made me feel slim.

We all know Elizabeth and James dressed run small. I typically wear a dress size 4, but the size 6 was more comfortable in my shoulders. This was a beautiful dress and I received many compliments. It is figure-flattering, but without being too show-y for a wedding.
