Lovely, sophisticated, perfect
I wish I took a photo but you'll have to trust my review. Wore this to a lobster bake and it was comfortable enough to stand-up, sit-down, and dive into cracking lobsters, but I received compliments all evening on how beautiful the dress was (my husband wanted to buy it he liked it so much!). It has a good amount of stretch and while I usually wear a size 4 and wore an XS. It was just tight enough, but the material made it appropriate for a 45-year-old to wear.

Great color. Runs small.
I was so happy with the color but I could not close the back. I am a size 4 usually and if I sized up I think it would have fit and I may never have returned it! Really wish it fit since it was gorgeous.

Perfect.
I rented this for work and got compliments all day. It is an incredible fit and the material makes it hug your curves perfectly. I may rent again when the weather gets a bit cooler and wear with a navy blazer. Love, love, love this dress!!!

Pretty dress but tight on top, big on bottom
This is an attractive dress but just was not the right fit for me. I am not that big on top (34A) but it was just too tight and uncomfortable on top to wear in public. If I ordered it bigger it would have been giant in the waist. It would probably be perfect for a less athletic body type.

Amazing dress. Great material, perfect fit.
I loved this dress. Lovely pattern and it fits absolutely perfectly. It was short enough to be attractive but not too revealing to be inappropriate. I would rent again (or buy) this in a heartbeat!

Great material, perfect for a conservative event
I wore this for a casual happy hour political fundraiser. There is a lot of material so I probably should have ordered a size smaller. The fabric in the pleat is a very nice touch. Not sexy or for a date, but perfect for work or a conservative summer party.

GORGEOUS Color. Perfect for summer!!!
This is a stunning summer dress. It fits perfectly, the color was incredible, and could be dressed up or down, depending on the occasion. I did not realize the detail on the back when I ordered it and we pleasantly surprised - it has a similar cut out as the front does and is an eye catcher. The front is a bit low, like others have mentioned, but I put a lightweight summer scarf and it was fine to go out for lunch with my in-laws and then later on a date with my husband I just wore it with a pendant and it was fine. If you are larger chested it may be a bigger issue. I absolutely loved this dress and will probably consider buying it if I rent it again.

Who knew olive green could look so great?
I wore this to work, and I wanted to wear it again and again. It fits your body perfectly - not too tight, not too loose. Love the material. The color may seem a bit drab, but pair it with some bling and great shoes and it is an amazing casual work/weekend dress.

Great material and fun to wear.
We ended up having cooler weather than expected after I ordered this with my unlimited shipment, so paired this with black boots and a button up shirt for the office. The skorts/skirt has a bit more flair than the picture, but the waist fits perfectly. Definately pair it with a tighter shirt to balance it out. Very high quality piece!

Nice casual dress for the office or day time
This was from my unlimited shipment and I planned on wearing it over a weekend, but the weather changed. I ended up wearing it with a grey long sleeve cotton shirt underneath to work and it was great for a casual workplace. I tried it on with out the shirt and the arms were a bit tight, but I have a swimmers body, so my shoulders and arms are a bit bigger than the rest of me. Great dress, looks better in person than on the model.

Drop dead gorgeous!
The color, fabric and fit were incredible. I agree with the comments that the neck was a bit tight when I sat down, but since I wore may hair down I could undo the zipper 1/2 an inch and it was just fine. I live in casual Colorado so dressed this down with fun casual sandals, but it could easily be dressed up as well. Beautiful!

Perfect all around dress.
I received this as part of my unlimited shipment and wore it a few times. The material is stretchy but not tight, making it the perfect dress for a stay-cation around NYC. The material is perfect for cooler months, and the white pattern adds something interesting to the normal black dress. Very flattering cut.

Cool dress, but not me.
This dress is an interesting one, but I ended up not wearing it. I tried - I tried it with jeans, leggings, and a mini, and then the weather got too hot to use it without some type of bottoms (maybe someone in the 20's could, but as a 40 something professional I just could not pull that off). The material was a bit scratchy even with a light long sleeve t-shirt under it. I imagine a very hip 20 something could wear this well with killer boots or heels, but it was just not me. Ended up returning it unworn with the rest of my unlimited shipment. The material looks much more sparkly in person than in the photo. And yes, SIZE DOWN as much as you can. It was very very big on me.

Lovely jacket, just not much of wow.
This was a jacket I received in my unlimited shipment and was happy wearing it for a while. The dress is true to the Elizabeth and James line - nice fit, nothing too form fitting, but beautiful color that makes people turn their heads. Nice jacket for early fall or perhaps winter in more southern climates. The color in the photo does not do the jacket justice - it is far more striking in person.

Wow. Amazing color, perfect fit.
I can't give this dress enough compliments. Wore it to a Broadway show on a cool night to celebrate a friend's 50th birthday - it was incredible. The fit may run a bit big, but the material has give so the sizing is forgiving. I wore the 42, but probably could have loved the size 40 as well. The color is a perfect red and the length was just at the knee. I am in my 40's and this dress was the perfect sexy and sophisticated blend. I would highly recommend for a corporate party, winter wedding, or just vacuuming around the house - I love this dress and did not want to send it back!!

Lovely, modest dress
I wore this dress for a work event and it was entirely appropriate. Did not show too much, but fit enough to make me fee beautiful. It is longer than the image - I am 5'8 and it hit a bit lower below the knee. If you are looking too just give your work wardrobe a kick or attend a more modest event, this dress is it. The material is amazing and incredibly high quality.

I received this jacket as part of my unlimited shipment and wow, was I impressed. Perfect jacket for fall and I received compliments non-stop! I am so tempted to buy it! The colors are a beautiful shades of pink and beige.

Lovely color. With a smaller top frame, I ended up tying the top in back (not using buttons).
Seems to run a bit big, but there is give to the material, so a size up or a size down probably won't matter too much. Rent for your waist size, everything else is flexible.

Wore this during the Mrs. International finals dress rehearsals.
I LOVE this dress. I was to buy this dress. This is the most perfect dress out there. As Mrs. Colorado I was so excited to show off my daily wardrobe at the Mrs. International Finals last year. I swear this dress helped me place in the top 10 amongst women half my age. It fits perfectly, flows perfectly, and is, well, you guessed it -absolutely perfect. Trying to find one to buy for my closet :)

Wore it for an office event
I love Kate Spade shoes and purses, and thought I would try her dresses. But, for long torso women, she just misses the bill. The dress was super cute and if I was a bit shorter or has a shorter waist I would have loved it. Perfect for spring or summer office event.

Perfect for an office event
I wore this for a talk I was presenting. I was a bit bored with my wardrobe and was not in the mood to shop, so this was a perfect answer. The dress is a bit scratch but fit true to size and was perfect for an after work happy hour or work event. Neat pattern and material got rave reviews.

Wore it for a Arabian Nights fundraiser for our kids school, this this dress was a perfect match!
Lovely dress, not too form fitting. It was appropriate for my kids fundraiser for their elementary school, but a bit too big in the waist to make it perfect for a date. Got a ton of compliments and if you are wanting to be attractive and eye-catching without being too sexy, this is the dress. I got 3 other mom's hooked on rent-the-runway with this dress!
