I wear the 0 which is my size, im 5ft ,and 100lbs

I wore this dress for an evening wedding. The dress is very form-fitted and run a bit small. I ordered a size 2 for that reason and it was perfect. I'm 4'11" so the sides of the dress were bit big but the rest fitted nicely. I'm 32DD and i was worried it was not going to fit but it did, i wore strapless bra but you don't really need it. Overall, i loved the dress.  

Long enough for a formal occasion. It is tight fitting though, I probably would have been better off in a size 8. I am usually a 6. Definitely keep that in mind if you get this dress. Other than that it was great!! I'd get it again! 

This dress is beautiful, but runs small. I am a size 6, and have some jeans in size 4... and for this dress the 8 was snug! The material is nice though so I did not feel self conscious about the fit. Got lots of compliments and would rent again!!

Runs small, but did size up and it fit perfectly. 

Definitely runs small so I sized up a full size. It holds everything in and is flattering. Not my favorite I've rented just because it was so body hugging. Wore it to a charity event. 

Even the size up was a bit tight but it was very flattering. A perfect alternative to a boring black cocktail dress.

I absolutely fell in love with this dress!! Super flattering and fit perfectly! I hope to rent it again.

Absolutely loved this dress. Felt the 4 was a little tight on my lower half but the 6 fit great. This is a very figure flattering dress and I received many compliments throughout the evening. 

Initially I wore a size 4 (first 2 pictures), and then switched to the size 2. The size 2 fit a little snug, but looked better in the photos and felt better overall.

Not the best photo, but posting for those of you who'd like to see the length. Loved this dress! Wore it after the Miss Virginia USA Pageant for visitation with family and friends!

For dresses I am usually a size 4 but I could barely zip it. The 6 fit much better and was longer which is better for my height. I was easily able to wear a strapless bra and the length was long enough for a winter wedding. 

This was actually my back up dress, and only one of my sizes (4) was available so I took the gamble. It ended up working much better than my first choice!! E&J dresses tend to run a bit small. I am typically between a 4 and a 6 in them. I am also a size 25 in jeans, and am a 32DD for reference. The top was a little tight but once I got it zipped I was locked in for the night. The material is thick and helps suck everything in making it really flattering. I got compliments all night! Overall  a great choice for a wedding or cocktail affair! 
PS- You won't regret sizing up for your backup.

Lovedddd this dress! It was a little more fitted in the butt than I had expected but still worked great! The back is awesome too and I didn't need to wear a bra and I'm a 34 ddd. Will definitely rent again!

Stunning dress on but is very tight. I'm a true size 4 but I could have gone up a size I think. Had to wear spanx because it is very form fitting. Overall loved the dress though

Unlike most Elizabeth and James dresses, this one runs true to size. I rented a 2 thinking the dress ran small but it was big in the ribs and chest. This is a very flattering and comfortable dress. Would recommend for a semi formal event. 

I wore this dress to my friend's wedding and received so many compliments!  It fit perfectly and was so comfortable.  I'm short so it didn't fit like a mini and was the perfect length.  Will definitely rent again!

The fabric is thicker, but not heavy, and structured, making this a flattering dress. The back is cool and works just fine with a regular strapless bra. No need to find a special bra for this. 

I wore this dress for a dressier cocktail wedding. I normally wear a 4/6 but definitely needed an 8 for this style. There is a little bit of stretch and I had extra space in the chest are (but still didn't need a bra). You can dance and move around easily in this dress and I highly recommend it for a wedding or formal affairs.

I loved this dress. Fit like a glove and was so sexy. The back zipper was tricky so you may need a friend or SO to help! I went braless and felt comfortable all night. Didn't think I'd squeeze into a 4 but I did and had room to spare! Felt amazing!!! 

I loved this dress and got lots of compliments! It definitely runs on the small side. I ordered my usual size and sized up one size, thank goodness for the second size!! I could not even get the smaller one on! It still felt smaller than I would have preferred. I also wish I had noticed the side zipper when I first tried it on. I normally step into dresses, but this one required putting it on over your head. 

Fit like a glove! I wore this dress for my big "50"  Very comfortable.  I will rent it again. Runs true to size. Small through the bust.  I an a very small 32A-B.

Overall i loved the dress. Great lbd with a pretty back! The dress ran small. Im usually a size 4 and i wore the 6. Overall i loved the fit, but the dress arrived with a tear on the zipper seam so i had to use a safety pin to keep it closed and make sure it wouldnt continue to tear. Unfortunately there wouldnt have been enough time to ship it back and get a replacement. Altho, if the 4 had fit it would have been perfect, as that dress waa in mint condition. I rated a 4 bc i was disapointed about this issue. 

Super comfortable and loved the detail in the back. 

The fit was close to true to size. I will admit it looled much better afyer adding a strapless bra and some spanx :) The dress was beautiful on and I received alot of compliments! Thank you RTR!

This was a back up dress when my original wasn't available. Per usual with E&J, I had to go up a bit in the sizing for this dress. I'm usually a 6 in their dresses but knew that with the bottom not having a slit I'd likely need to go up even more. I have full hips/thighs. While the top had quite a bit of room to spare, it was not noticeable or bothersome. The cut as with all E&J dresses I've tried was incredibly flattering. Loved it!

This dress was such a great choice!! Although the material didn't give/stretch as much as I had anticipated, it still made for a nice look for my senior homecoming. Would definitely rent again!! 

I loved this dress! Runs small similar to all E&J dresses, so rent 1-2 sizes up. The thick fabric is perfect - no need to wear a bra with the unique neck line. Perfect for a wedding! 

Bust: 32DD
Height: 4 11

I usually stay away from dress that are tight on the body because I have a gut but this fit my hour glass shape so well ! Thank you RTR. You saved the day !


I usually wear a regular size 0, petite 2. I knew this dress ran small from the other reviews so I took a chance and did not order the 0, but ordered the 2 and 4.  Ended up wearing the 2. The 4 fit me better in the hips but it was too loose in the bust so I squeezed in the 2 which ended up working out perfectly fine. I was also concerned about the dress maybe being too long because it is not a petite but the length ended up being perfect even though I am only 5'1". 

This dress was flattering and comfortable.  The material has give so it was easy to dance in it.  I received many compliments.  Great for a formal affair!

This dress made me feel like a million bucks. I would like to reiterate that it runs small. I normally wear a 4 or a 6, ordered the 6 and 8 and the 8 was a squeeze. The thickness and well made quality and material of the dress made it wearable. I would rent again.

I rented this for a formal dinner and was very pleased with how it fit! I didn't notice the side zipper though which would have made it much easier to get on :) I did need help with the back zipper also but it fit like a glove. I opted for the size 6 over the 4 as it fit snugly and I wasn't sure how sitting would be, but it worked perfectly. I did not need to wear a bra but did use double sided tape just to make sure there were no side boob malfunctions. My lower back tattoo did show a couple times as it is cut low in back (just in case u are looking to avoid that) but it wasn't a problem for me or my event. I got lots of compliments! Overall a great dress I will definitely rent again!

Was definitely nervous about the fit being too snug. The fabric is nice and thick, though, so it was forgiving. I typically wear a 6 and the 8 was more comfortable (5'8" 145lbs athletic build). So glad RTR was able to send a back up size!

This is my 4th RTR dress and unfortunately my least favorite so far. The fit was very strange for me. I could not even zip the 4, because my boobs were to big. The 6 fit in the boobs but they were squished, but the waist was to big and bunched in places. It is also very form fitting in not a good way. 

This dress definitely runs small, however, I am 4' 11" and have a shorter torso, so the material bunched up a little around my waistline, I attached some fashion tape to lessen this. The dress material is thick but not too thick. Overall, great dress experience!
