Elizabeth and James

I couldn't wait for it to be warm enough to wear this. The material almost feels like a thinner scuba material. It's cut deep into the chest, so I had to wear it with a strapless bra. A little detail, but it has a fabric pull on the zipper so you don't need help getting in and out of it. I wore it to work with a blazer and adored it.

Like other dresses of this brand fits well, high quality material. The lighter material showed some lumps and bumps and it was a little small for me but once I got it zipped up I liked how it fit overall.

This dress was perfect for a spring wedding. The ruffle adds a nice, fun touch, and the drrss also has a slight slit which adds a hint of sexiness. The shade of blue is really pretty and flattering. The fit is true to size, snug throughout, and the fabric is supportive without being binding. I was able to go braless and just wear pasties. I always feel like a dress is a good pick when the bride tells you they love your outfit 😉

Great dress! I normally don't wear color but this was a fun spring dress I wore to a charity event.

I went with the larger size of the two I selected. It is a little tighter around the waist, so I chose the larger size for more wiggle room, because when you go to a southern wedding, you need to make room for delicious food and drink! I'm a sweater and the wedding and reception was outside in 85 degree Charleston weather and not a drop showed through on the dress- score! It was comfortable, fun to dance in, and shielded the buckets of sweat (because girls glisten right?) I'm 5'7, athletic build, wide shoulders, small waist, size 8. This dress was a winner!

Beautiful dress but too snug for comfort and did not wear.

The color and fabric of this are both great. I sized up as reviews suggested and was glad I did. While, flattering this fabric is not forgiving. If you are self conscious about your stomach this may not be the dress for you. I also needed a racer back bra, a standard's straps showed far too much

I wore this for a bridal shower. It was a fantastic color and very comfortable, but the sort of wing in the side made the dress feel a bit dated and less flattering. To add to that, the back zipper had a weird stringy tie that was made to be seen, but I thought it was tacky so I hid it in the dress. It runs pretty true to size and feels very well made.

Didn't end up wearing this out because I'm a 36 DD and strapless bras are only comfortable for so long. Also, it's tight through the midsection so any belly bloat shows. That said, it's striking and sexy and pairs wonderfully with a statement necklace.

Fits very tight for large busy ladies. Great length to show off some leg while still being tasteful. I paired with a fun shoe since it is a solid color. Fantastic color!

Great rental for a friend's summer wedding. Color is amazing. It runs small- definitely order a size up. Received many compliments- comfortable dress thicker fabric.

Definitely runs small

Very fun dress. Nice material, fun zipper in the back. Loved the side ruffle! I got a ridiculous amount of compliments on this dress! Snug in the tummy area, material also isn't forgiving. Love love love this dress.

I loved the color and shape of this dress and it was great for work as the slit wasn't too high. Following other reviews, I ordered one size up and was happy I did since I wouldn't have wanted the waist any tighter. However, the shoulder area was then a little loose and the armholes were gaping a bit. This wasn't too obvious and I still enjoyed wearing it, but I probably wouldn't rent it again.

The fabric and color were awesome. It's figure flattering and super comfortable. Paired it with light cold sandals and light pink beaded tassel earrings.

This dress is a stunning color and amazing when on, but you definitely will need a size up. The size 4 fit fine, but was very tight around the chest for me and made it uncomfortable. I emergency shipped the size 6 out (THANK YOU so much RTR for that!) and it fit like a glove. I got shaping spanx to wear underneath to make everything look smooth and I fell in love with it. I felt so comfortable and beautiful at the wedding and had fun dancing the entire night. I am typically a 2 or 4, 34D or 36C bust, 26 waist and 36 hips, and the size 6 was perfect for me.

This dress was pretty and great for a hot, daytime wedding in southern California. It definitely runs small so order at least one size up. My only complaint is it creases easily.

This was my first time wearing a RTR dress, & I have to say I'll definitely do it again! This dress was great - good thick but still stretchy material & it fit well in all the right places & hid my high thigh which I'm often self conscious about. I will say that based off the model photo I wasn't expecting for it to be fitted all the way down to the ruffle, & Elizabeth & James runs SMALL. I've been a 6-8 as of late & the 10 was what I wore. Overall though awesome dress for a Sept beach wedding & would definitely recommend for a wedding or formal event!

Beautiful, simple dress. Loved the color and cut. I ordered a 4 and 6 and even the 6 was too small. I could have worn it, but would have been very uncomfortable.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this dress!! Beautiful blue and so easy to wear. Very comfortable. Does run small so size up but that's the brand. I wore this to my sons baptism- easy to dress up or down. Will absolutely rent again.

Loved the dress. Fit is small, I had to go up one size. Great for day event.

Great fit loved dancing in this and felt young and light!

This is a pretty dress that I wore for a daytime bat mitzvah (with a cardigan) and reception. Since other reviewers said it ran small, I ordered both a 4 and 6 (usual size 2). The 4 was snug across the midsection. While the 6 had more room across the stomach and rib cage, it was too large in the chest and the arm holes gaped. I ended up wearing the 4. It wasn't very comfortable, but it looked fine. (It tended to show everything, including underwear and bra lines, so you may need a body shaper underneath.) I think if you have an hourglass figure--small waist and larger chest--this dress would be perfect. For more athletic/straight figures, the fit just isn't right.

Cute dress unfortunately it runs a little small. It fits like a glove and I would recommend going a size up if you have curves.

Runs small!

It was the perfect fit, beautiful color and was able to wear multiple times. Received lots of compliments.

I wore this for my sister's bridal shower. It had a nice shape / fit to it and I absolutely loved the color. I got a lot of compliments. It does run a little small though. I usually wear a 6 but I wore an 8 and it was snug around the bust and rib cage. Rocked it!!

Got this with the tags still on it which always feels like winning the lottery. The color was beautiful and you can tell the fabric s a nice high quality. Unfortunately this runs smaller/tighter than I expected and even though it "fit" and zipped easily, you could see my belly button through the material it was so tight.... not a good look. I didn't end up wearing it because of that. I'm not sure if sizing up would have helped, but wearing spanx probably would have (or if you just have a tight flat tummy of course).

Fits a bit on the smaller side

I ordered this dress and another for a wedding. I am a true 2. I never have to size up, if anything I size down. This 2 was TINY. I did get in it and it zipped just fine, but it was very, very tight. If I went for that "too tight" look I guess I could have pulled it off, but I do like to leave something to the imagination at times. Additionally, while the dress was really cute (or would have been had it fit better), the material was not quite nice enough for a wedding. This would be a really fun dress for a night out though. DEFINITELY go up one size.

Great dress! I wore 2 inch heels and I'm 5'2 and the dress length was perfect. The dress as a whole doesn't have a ton of stretch and the 2 was too tight on me (it was my backup). I'm super excited about renting the 4 for another wedding this summer. The racer back allowed you to show of your shoulders, the left side has a 2-3 in slit you can't see in the photos, and the right side flowly detail is super cute. Pros: general cuts and details of the dress, thicker fabric so you can wear a bra (racer back needed). Cons: tighter dress, not forgiving in the stomach area, I'd avoid sizing down even if its the only dress in stock.

I was a little nervous about ordering from this brand because though I love the look, it looked like their styles were all very form fitting and I was worried about being uncomfortable. I normally wear an 8, but I decided to order a 10 and a 12. I'm so glad I did! The 10 fit but was way tighter than I was comfortable wearing to a family wedding. The 12 fit great from the waist down, but I was a little disappointed because the 10 was so tight that I would have gone braless, but the 12 was really loose up top, even when wearing a push-up bra. I tried using fashion tape to minimize the gapping on the sides, but it was a crazy hot day and with sweating you can imagine how long that lasted (I will say that the fabric is great for hot weather!) I think I was the only one who really noticed, because even though this was probably the worst fit of any of the RTR dresses I've rented, I probably got the most compliments on this one. It's a really beautiful dress! My mom said "that dress is sexy and conservative all at the same time!" I would definitely try this brand again, just size up!

This dress runs small which is typical of this brand. I typically wear a size 6 in dresses and wore an 8 in this, though it was tight and I probably would have been more comfortable in a 10. The color is beautiful and much more vibrant than online, and it has a more defined waist than it appears to which I appreciated. One thing to note is if you are pear shaped you will find this dress hard to fit, I have a 34B chest and wider hips and though it was tight through the bottom it was loose on top, I needed to wear a heavily padded strapless bra (Victoria's Secret bombshell) for it to fit right, and I imagine the 10 would have been worse. I would recommend for anyone not pear shaped!

I ordered a size bigger because the reviews said it ran small. I think I could have gone with a size four but overall the 6 looked good. I paired it with a cream sweater because it was very hard to wear without my bra showing. The cut on the bottom was cute and fun. It was nice for a birthday dinner party.

I sent this back right away. It didn't fit well anywhere. It was tight across the tummy and bust, but as you can see in the picture, very loose in the arm. I was wearing a dark blue bra in this picture. It also had a tail on the zipper to help zip it up but it wouldn't pull when I did that.

I thought this color was amazing for a spring wedding. However, the fabric is a little heavy and we were outside for the reception/cocktail hours which was a little brutal. The dress is on the conservative side so I paired with silver heels and a big necklace. I would rent this again

Nice understated dress for a summer wedding. Super comfortable and easy to dance in; got lots of compliments all night. Never tried on the 0, but since I normally wear a 0 and thought the 2 was a good fit, then it might run small. Hit just at the knees. Would definitely rent again!

I ended up wearing this dress to an event for many more hours than anticipated (about 12 all tolled), and it definitely held up. It didn't wrinkle for a long time, despite much sitting, standing, and dancing. The dress does run small, so I went with size 4, which was more comfortable. I definitely suggest undergarments, as it does show lines and curves. Overall, a great dress for a spring or summer event.

I'm usually a size 8/10 and after reading reviews I decided to order 10 and 12 and ended up wearing the 12 bc it was more confortable with room to breath. Its thick material and a beautiful color but it is form fitting and shows everything. I did get lots of compliments tho and would order again.

This dress looks amazing on-- the color is beautiful and it was very flattering.. It runs a little on the small side, and I would recommend a sticky bra if you can get away with one (racer back shows bra straps). I'm about 5'10" and the dress was long enough so that I was comfortable wearing it to my grad school graduation ceremony. When putting the dress on, I would recommend having someone help to zip it up. There is a flap of fabric along the zipper inside the dress, and it is really easy to jam the zipper on that strip of fabric. Other than that detail, I loved this dress!
