Perfect combination of classy and sexy!
I wore this dress to an expensive scotch tasting event. I got so many compliments on how classy and sexy it was. The best part of the evening? My ex was also present at the event and he kept coming up to tell me how good I looked. Mwahahaha! It felt amazing!!
I wore the size 0 and a Nubra and it fit perfectly. My one warning about the dress though: the zipper on the top half comes off easily. I was able to fix it to make it work fortunately, but I worried about a potential wardrobe malfunction during the night.

Beautiful Dress!
I felt pretty and comfortable in this dress. I ordered the 0 and the 2, but decided to go with the 2 because the back wasn't as tight as the 0 so the fabric laid more smoothly. My only complaint was the arm holes were big on both sizes. I believe if I was a little taller I wouldn't have had this issue. Regardless, I would still rent this dress again!

I got so many compliments!
So I order this dress as a back up and ended up wearing it! I am 5ft and it was the perfect length! The color made such a statement. It fit me like a glove. And the back of the dress gave a sexy but classic look!
When it originally came in the mail and I tried it on I noticed the zipper was broken. I called rent the run way and they overnight shipped the same dress same size by the next day! #Angie and the rent the run way company has great customer service. I was very pleased!

Beautiful red color and great fit!
Fit very well and was comfortable although tight in the thighs and hard to walk quickly.

Beautiful and modern
True to size, but unforgiving. Consider sizing up! Great for a flatter chest.

Fun dress that still manages to look classy
Great for a fancy date night or semi-formal event. Thick fabric was figure flattering, and despite the cut-outs, the dress didn't feel revealing at all. Also longer than I expected - more like knee length on me. Ultimately felt too dressy for where I ended up going, but would definitely rent again for a different event.
Sizing: I'm typically between 2 and 4. I rented the 4 based on other reviews, and it fit perfectly!

Felt like a million bucks!
This dress was absolutely incredible. It was sexy yet classy and was a head turner for sure. I was so sad to send it back! The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was that the 4 fit better but the zipper was broken. At least I did have extra room for dinner with the 6 :-)

The dress is a thick material so it hides anything you are nervous about, even though it's tight. The cut outs are super fun!

Stunning red dress- loved wearing it
This dress ran true to size, but is definitely tight. If you are in between sized then size up. Loved the thick material and quality of the dress. Loved the red, stood out and made a statement and photographed well. I got so many compliments I would definitely wear it again and even buy it.

Great dress but runs small.
Great dress. I felt good in it and could dance all night long. The zipper came damaged and would not stay zipped, so my friends had to sew it together, effectively sewing me into the dress. Consequently, we were late to the event by over an hour. Once I was sewed in, however, it worked out great. I just wish RTR would quality-control their dresses a bit better. I contacted them that it was damaged and to take it out of circulation or get it fixed before renting it again but I doubt anyone did.

Classy but fierce
It was a beautiful dress but the back of it broke which was unfortunate because than I had to wear a blazer for the rest of the night. Luckily the party was at friends condo building in the party room so I was able to go to her place and get a blazer.
Besides the zipper breaking it was a beautiful dress fit really nice and elegant.

Loved it!!Great color
Everyone said to size up so I got the 4 and 6. I ended up wearing the 4 which is my normal size. The fit was amazing and sucked everything in. The only downside was that is smelled like cigarettes., which was a huge negative for me.

Wish the 8 was available, the 10 was a little big, but much better than the back up dress they sent.

Beautiful dress, runs larger than most E&J
I am a die hard Elizabeth & James fan since I know their dresses always fit me perfectly. Unfortunately, this one was the exception. It runs a bit big and has a little extra room in the hips. The color and cut is beautiful though; I just wish it had fit!

Fun dress
The dress was great but the straps to hang it were really long and could be seen through the dress. I had to constantly fix them because you could see the lines.

Cute, versatile dress with striking color
I rented this for a friend's birthday party in size 2. My usual size is 0, but Elizabeth & James tends to run a bit small. The dress fit very well, and was comfortable. But without a slit in the back and with the tight fit, walking was somewhat constrained. The fit was quite slimming. With a cardigan, the openings in the back would not be visible, and this could be even worn to work.

Smokin' hot red dress!
I am obsessed with this dress! It fits a little tightly, like a sheath. I usually wear a 2/4 and this one fits more like 4/6. I wore this to a fancy dinner in Cancun during vacation. My fiance couldn't stop staring all night!

This dress is begging for a night on the town!
So fun!! Lots of compliments. The color is super rich not an orange red. I went up a size just so that the back cut out didn't give me back fat.

Sexy dress
I wore this for a night out and it fit like a glove and had a cool sexy back. Good length. Normally in Elizabeth and James I need to go a size up but in this dress I was my usual size.

I loved this dress! Wore it for New Years Eve and got so many compliments. I've noticed Elizabeth and James runs a little small so I always order a size up and it fits perfectly. I will definitely be re ordering this dress.

Perfect date night dress
I wore this dress for New Year's Eve with my husband. I Loved it- this dress is a stunner! Based on previous reviews, I ordered a size small, but I'd say it's more true to size.
It's a great length- I'm pretty tall and it definitely wasn't too short. Since it's pretty tight and has a somewhat open back, I appreciated that the length wasn't too short.
I didn't wear one, but I'm pretty sure you could wear a normal bra with it, too! The zippers are a little tricky to get on, so be sure you have a buddy to help you get dressed. Overall a really awesome choice!

Darn, too small
I was super excited about this dress as my NYE party dress but I unfortunately ordered sizes too small. Both the 4 and 6 zipped up but were too snug around the back cut outs and were an unflattering fit for my body type, so I swapped these out for a different dress. Was really bummed they didn't have a size 8 which I bet would have fit me much better.

Flattering!
I rented this for a holiday party and it was a great choice. It's red and flattering, without making you feel over the top. Having rented several E&J dresses, I would say this runs larger than their others. I normally size up (from a 4 to a 6 for this brand), but could have easily worn my true size in this dress.

Little red dress with edge
Classic yet edgy! This red would look great with all skin tones. Cut outs were so sexy! Exposed industrial zipper nice touch. Higher neckline and lower hemline were a good contrast for form fitting figure flattering cut. Size 4 is true to size, maybe a touch small. Could probably finagle a bra with this but it kept peeking out so I went without. My first Elizabeth and James and was so impressed I just rented another! Rtr was great, the dress arrived stained and they promptly sent a replacement. Another winner.

Great dress!
I really liked wearing this dress. I'm 5'6" and about 115 pounds. The shape of it makes it very flattering, but I think it does run a tiny bit small. It's a great dress for a wedding. I got SO many compliments on it. Its beautiful.

Super sexy!! Perfect fit on my very curvy hourglass body.
I have wide hips, small waist, full bust. This dress fit perfectly in my usual size. Many compliments all night. Actually looked better without bra because the top was snug enough.

The color is amazing, it is a perfect red.
Perfect for a fall wedding! I am 5'6 and about 134 lbs. I have a longer torso in comparison to my legs and the dress fell just above my knee! It was overall a comfortable dress, however, I found it a little difficult to walk up and down stairs because the slit in the back wasn't very giving.

Favorite Elizabeth and James So far!
Loved the color of this dress. The fit was great and true to size. It was very comfortable to wear. I did not need to wear a bra with this dress. I've rented quite a few Elizabeth and James dresses in the past, and this one was my favorite so far!

This dress was very fun to wear! RTR is user friendly!
It was a little big around the waist. It still fit well, but it made the back opening larger.

Girls night out!
I thought this ran true to size, and I was not expecting the 0 to fit because the reviews all said runs small. It was an awesome dress, I would definitely rent it again! I'm 5'2" and 117 lbs. The 2 fit also, but it was bunchy and looser on the bottom by thighs. The dress is meant to be fitted, so don't be nervous to order your regular size!

Flattering, sexy yet tasteful
Great color, great material, perfect in every way. Size runs small so order a size up. I got lot of compliments. No need for a bra, the back is too open for that. But the material in the front is so thick that you can get away with it.

Classic, Love the color!
Got this as a back-up dress for a wedding. It was super comfortable, but I had to forgo underwear since it would show through. I loved the color and the back gives it a fun, flirty look without being too much for an event like a wedding.

I like the style and quality of the dress in general - the fabric has a nice feel and color.
I was a little concerned that the back would be too revealing, but the waist goes up high enough that it doesn't feel that bad. Also, the upper back portion was wide enough to fit a bra (I wore a bra). This dress would be great for a lot of events, but if you plan to dance a lot or be very active, it may not be the right choice, because it doesn't have a slit in the back, and it's fairly fitted on the bottom. Doesn't give you a full range of motion for dancing or walking on grass.
As far as the material goes, it's a medium-weight dress, fully-lined crepe, and feels high-quality. It would be good for many indoor and temperate outdoor occasions. Not great for really hot or humid conditions due to the weight and how fitted the bottom is.
