Very figure flattering.
The fit runs true to size. If you are between sizes, go up one size. I am tall (5'10'') and the length was perfect. This is a great dress for a wedding or rehearsal dinner. You will need somebody to help you zip up the back. You may want to wear spanx, as it does show your underwear.

Stay Classy & Sexy
Loved this dress, definitely skin tight so be ready for compliments all night. Backless could go without bra but wore the chicken cutlet things you can get at target to give me just a little more curves as the top is so tight
Perfect for a fun night out on town

Amazing color, didn't quite fit
I LOVED the color of this dress. From the front, it looked perfect. However, it was too big in the waist and so from the back, it looked terrible. The waist hung down. I don't think I could have sized down because the hips and chest fit perfectly.

back is not the same as the picture
from the photo i expected the back to a rather thin strap with a hook, but instead the top back portion was thick with a zipper. the front of the dress was the same, though. i rented the dress because of the back detail and the thicker strap made it look clunky and not as sexy. because it's thicker is also made the lower back cutout smaller. i'm typically btwn a 2 and 4 but always a 6 in e&j since it runs small. i can wear the 4, but i have a preference for clothing not to look tight on me. this dress didn't do it for me.

Fun night in Savannah
The dress fit perfectly. B/c of the top zipper and the cut of the back, no bra was necessary. I got compliments from random strangers. Can not wait to order this dress again! It was sexy!!!

I want to wear this dress everyday.
I rented this dress for my divorce hearing wanted something that he would think about and regret cheating-success. It so very figure flattering and comfortable I did wear a backless bra with it although some strapless would have probably worked.

Didn't wear it
Very cute, I liked the cut but material was a little thin which wasn't flattering on some problem areas. I ended up choosing another dress.

Gorgeous dress - needed a different size
This dress was only available in a size zero which I knew was super risky for this designer. I could zip the bottom part up but there was like five inches of spec between the top zipper and there was no way that thing was going to zip. Length was perfect on me (I'm tall) but reality is I need a 6 in the bust and a 2 everywhere else. Great for straight and narrow and size up!

Wore this for a rehearsal dinner and received so many compliments!
The material on this dress is amazing. It is so thick, and forgiving. I rented the size 4 & 6 but ended up wearing the 6 because the fabric looked nicer when it laid perfectly smooth. The color is a gorgeous bright red. I was nervous about the open back and not wearing a bra, but again since the fabric is so thick a bra was not necessary at all. Also, the darting in the chest gives a really nice shape. Love the longer knee length styling. Super cute. Will definitely rent another Elizabeth & James style after getting this dress!

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.

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.

Sexy and classy!
I absolutely loved wearing this dress for my Bachelorette Party! I had the dress on all day and night and it was extremely comfortable. I got tons of compliments that it was a sexy dress, yet classy and showed just the right amount of skin. Great dress!

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.

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!

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.

Stunning color and dress. I wore a size 4 because it's very form fitting. Definitely need to be in great shape to wear it. Loved the dress and will be ordering again!

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!

Beautiful dress, lots of compliments! I normally wear a size 2 but I wore a size 4 in this dress and it fit like a glove.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Lady in red
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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
