Beautiful photo! What color/kind of shoes did you choose?

Rented this dress for my high school graduation and I was sooo happy with it! I'm usually a size 0 but it was a little tight so I wore the 2. It was the perfect dress for this occasion 

I ordered this dress to wear out for my birthday. The size 4 was too tight so I'm glad I had the 6. The material is on the thicker side and not see through. The cutouts are sexy and the dress shoes off your curves.

This dress is very fitted, but absolutely amazing.  I dressed it down with a leather body harness - which gave it some edge.  Exactly what I was looking for.  I would not hesitate to rent this.  I typically get a 2....I'm curvy but smaller framed, but got a 4 based on the reviews.  No way the 2 would've fit.  The 4 fit like a glove.

This dress was an absolute hit. I received a ton of compliments and felt amazing. The dress is very form fitting and it does run a bit small (I am generally a size 8, but wore the 10 to feel comfortable). The material is great and it was easy to move around it. Would definitely rent again! 

A little big on the sides but it is a beautiful dress. I am just really small 

I wore this to a Derby party and was worried when it arrived that it would be too plain. I'm so glad I was wrong. The dress certainly is not forgiving but it also shows off all of the right things. The cutouts make it interesting and the white makes it a show stopper.

 It does run a little small. If I had read the reviews a bit more carefully, I would have ordered the 4 as a backup (and probably worn it). The 2 fit but by the end of the day, I was really tired of sucking in and the neck rubbed a little bit.

This dress is classy and appropriate but more than that - it's memorable!

I wore this dress to a charity event. I typically wear a size 2-4 in dresses but I wore a 6 in this and it was VERY tight. It looked great, but it runs a bit small. It also requires a special bra. It cuts in pretty far in at the chest so if you wear a normal bra it will show. Overall the dress is very high quality, thick material, hugs in all the right places. Absolutely gorgeous!

I wore this for my Bachelorette party.  The dress is a snug fit, but it was flattering and comfortable all night.  

Wore this dress to a black and white fundraiser. It was a hit! Both 0 and 2 fit, but the 2 was a little more comfortable. It is not a very forgiving dress and shows all undergarments, so would recommend breast petals or something similar. Overall, loved it and would definitely recommend it!

The dress is flattering & feminine. I received compliments throughout the evening. 

The cut around the shoulders is amazing. It cups your butt perfectly. I'm a model who works out 6 days a week- I don't recommend this dress for anyone who isn't in tip top shape. 

Tight, sexy, an unforgettable dress. Heads were turning as I walked by in this dress. I felt so beautiful, sexy and confident. You show just the right amount of skin! 

The material is amazing - holds in all the right places. Super classy! Don't want to send it back!

I wore this dress for my rehearsal dinner and it was fun and the cut outs are cute but not over the top. I usually wear a 6 but wore the 8 since this dress is really tight and shows everything! I got lots of compliments and the dress was a fun choice! Only downfall was that it arrived a day late and only 10 minutes before I left for my event. 

My ONLY complaint about this dress is that it strangles you when you sit down. The high neck is really uncomfortable when you are seated. If you go up a size surely it won't fit as nicely so not advised to make the neckline more comfortable. The 6 fit my body perfectly and I am 5'7" 135 pounds with a small waist and bigger hips/small bust.

This dress is sexy AND classy - it was perfect for my bachelorette party. The only cons were that the neckline was high enough to be a little uncomfortable when sitting, and I didn't like the way it was cut around the shoulders (which didn't matter since I wore my hair down, but it didn't look good with my hair up). It definitely runs small - I could have worn the 0 (my usual size in nearly everything), but the 2 was much more flattering.

The style of this dress was perfect for a classy but edgy look. The cutouts are my favorite part about this dress.
For being shorter, the dress was a nice conservative length falling just above my knee. 
Knocked it down one star because it gapped on the sides a little where the cutouts were. 
Also worth noting you really can't wear a bra with this dress. 

Wore this for my birthday party and got compliment after compliment! Snug at the hips, though and wore the backup size 4, wherein I usually wear a 0/2. The shoulders fit beautifully and the cut outs were subtle but had an impact. So happy with this rental! I may have to invest in this dress! 

 I fell in love with this dress after renting it for our engagement party, so I rented it again to be used as my "getaway" dress on our wedding day itself. Flattering, comfortable, and elegant, this dress is an excellent choice for a bride's wedding reception and/or getaway garb (it is much easier to get around and dance in this dress than most wedding gowns! ;-) 5 stars-you won't regret renting this one! 

Wore this for a friend's birthday night out at a casino.  I don't think I've ever gotten as much attention as I did in this dress!  I paired it with black, white and nude heels and a brown leather moto jacket to make it more casual.  It's very body conscious and fortunately the white fabric was opaque.  I wore an adhesive nubra, mine is black and thankfully you couldn't see it through the dress.

Wore this to my double-bachelorette party in Vegas. Very easy to wear (silicone nipple covers and no bra) and stretchy for dancing!

Sexy yet classy at the same time; great fit for my petite yet athletic body type. Only wish was for it to be a tad shorter but otherwise fit was perfect.

I wore this to my high school graduation and I absolutely love it! 

I wore this dress as my wedding after party dress. It fit like a glove and was a great contrast to my formal wedding gown. It is thick, body contouring fabric and did not require spanx. Also the spanx I have showed in the back of the dress where the slit is FYI. It is a little see through bc it's white so I wore pasties which were enough support and did not show through. The dress is tight! I would rec sizing up of you have more in the hips/booty area. Overall loved loved loved this dress! It made me feel feminine and sexy and I received tons of compliments!

I wore this dress for a fraternity formal. It was simple but still cute with the side cut outs. E&J dresses are made of a thicker material so they feel form fitting but not suffocatingly tight. Perfect for a dinner/dancing night. 

I wore this for my bachelorette party and it was perfect! Hugs your curves nicely but wasn't too sexy since it went a bit longer on my 5'1 frame. Wore it with with fun big earrings and it was perfect for a girls night out!

The dress fit wonderful. Snug enough to show off your shape but not too tight. Comfortable to walk dance and move around. Length was comfortable as well, not too short. Was able to wear a standard strapless bra. I'd recommend this dress! Also, not see through!!


Perfect for my bachelorette party! It's backless and fitted but long enough so it's still tasteful. Definitely enjoyed it!

It runs tight in the chest but perfect fit overall. 

I sized up so that the dress could fit my chest. It was a fantastic dress and worked perfectly for our low-key wedding at the local courthouse. The dress was comfortable and sturdy enough that I didn't feel like it was see-through. Loved it!!

This dress is goooorgeous, super super flattering. I ordered in a 4 and 8 since the 6 was unavailable. I had read that it ran small so I was hoping that the 8 would fit like a 6, but it was way too big up top (itty bitty titty committee haaayyyyy). The 4 ended up being almost perfect, it was a hair too tight but looked great. Perfect bachelorette party dress, definitely recommend!

I typically wear a size 4 in dresses, however, I ended up wearing a size 6 in this dress because it runs small. I received so many compliments about the dress and I was very happy with it! The only problem I encountered was the tight neckline and finding the right bra to wear with it. Otherwise, the dress was absolutely stunning and I would most definitely rent it again.

I'm a size 4 and I typically wear a 6 in this brand. I got both the 6 and 8 and ended up wearing the 8. 

I wore this dress for my bachelorette and got so many compliments! It was such a fun dress and tight but not too tight. The cut outs on the sides are awesome and I didn't have to wear a bra because of how it fit on top! This is super unusual for me. Highly recommended for a bachelorette or party where you have to wear white!

I didn't wear a bra because it would have been too tight (32DDD) but I could have because the dress covers the band. The dress is tight in ALL the right places and I love the flattering neck line. 

I wore this dress for my bachelorette party. Be sure to order a size up; I normally wear a 2 and the 4 fit perfectly. 

Fit true to size. It was a little difficult to walk much in because of how tight it was around the legs but still worth renting.

Beautiful dress, lots of compliments !  The only drawback to this dress is a bra- I ended up using petals from VS, you can see lines from everything else.  

I wore this during my bachelorette party. The material was comfortable, however it was night around my stomach. The cutouts looked great, and I got a ton of compliments. This dress is great for women with small chests, but does not hide anything in the midsection. 

This dress was great for my bridal shower; however, I should have sized up. I am normally a 4 or 6, but 4 was the only available size. I managed to 'comfortably' squeeze in the dress, but I definitely could not eat much. Either way, I received many compliments and the material was thick and somewhat stretchy.

This dress was very pretty. I rented a 6 and an 8 as backup since many said it runs small. It was pretty tight on top but the hip area fit perfect in the 6. The 8 had too much gapping it wasn't flattering on me. You can not wear a bra with this dress. And no high shapewear due to the cutouts. Also prepare to have skin come out of the cutouts when you sit down. All in all it's beautiful. 

I think Elizabeth and James dresses are just not for me due to their sizing. I am on the skinny side, but the 6 was just too tight for comfort and the 8 too baggy. The dress wrinkled easily and there were too many stretch marks. I also had to keep pulling the dress down. For reference, I am 5'9, 140lb, 34c. 

I rented this dress for my bachelorette party. As I'm petite I find Elizabeth and James dresses typically fit my frame perfectly. Overall I liked the fit, but it was just a slight bit long in my torso area, which caused the cut out sides to stick out a bit funny. Not a big deal though still really loved the dress and would recommend. 

This dress is classy and sexy. While it fits true to size, it is very tight on your body as it is meant to be. Nothing left  to the imagination. I felt great in the dress until I had dinner and drinks at which point I wished it wasn't so form fitting..

Definitely had to size up! It was very fitted...it was very classy and elegant with a side of sassy and sexy! It was a fun dress for pics! I would recommend! 

Rented for an Anniversary weekend in Vegas. Sexy, fun, a bit unforgiving, but does have a little stretch--no dessert w this dress. I would rent again! 

I wore this for my bachelorette party, and it fit super tight for a 4 but was really flattering at the neckline and really showed off my shoulders. Would recommend for anyone wanting to show off their curves!

This dress was perfect for my bachelorette party in New Orleans! I wore a 12 and usually wear an 8-10, so it definitely runs small. Thought it was very flattering and fashionable! You need to buy a special "no strap" bra to wear - a strapless bra won't cut it bc of the cute cutouts on the side. This dress didn't make it in time for my trip, due to a severe storm, so RTR over-nighted it to our rental in New Orleans for free. Never disappointed in RTR's amazing customer service!  (Rented this necklace as well and thought it really added a great pop of color to the dress.) 

I rented this for my bachelorette party. I've rented other dresses by this designer so I know that their dresses usually run small. It was a bit tight but I was okay with that. The cutout part sometimes looked baggy depending on how straight I was standing/ sitting so that was a little annoying. Also , this dress was not very comfortable, but I guess thats what you get for a tight sexy dress! All in all, I was happy with this dress but I probably would not rent it again.

The dress was long for my height so I had to slip stitch the bottom to make it short, but after I did that it was a perfect height! I got many compliments on my dress as well. I used the smaller size out of the 2 dresses and it fit me nicely in all the good places.

Runs small overall, more so on the bottom. Fun and sexy but not over the top! 

Wish I had a better picture from the event--I knew the dress would be a tad long since I'm pretty short (around my knees, maybe even past when pulled all the way down) But I really liked the fit! Not skin tight but still form fitting, feminine and classy. I loved the cut out on the side too!

This dress is adorable - I wore it for my bachelorette party and it was amazing! It definitely runs on the small side - I usually wear a size 0 and I wore a 4 in this dress.  It is also a bit tight in the neck area, but nothing too bothersome. 

Fit like a glove. Got so many compliments!

I wore this to a club in Miami for my bachelorette. I would say the dress runs true to size/small. I am normally between a 6 and 8 and debated between the 8 and 10 for the night. I am a 36DD and it definitely fits tight for a larger chest but still looks good. You cannot wear a bra because of the side cutouts. Form fitting!
