OK but not quite right
I liked this, but there were a few things that were just a little off and I didn't end up wearing it. Because of the very open back, the armpits of the sleeves were loose/baggy. It wasn't incredibly noticeable, but I think if I'd worn it out I would've been adjusting things frequently. It fit over my hips, but was a little tight. I think it might have had to pull it down on occasion from bunching at my waist if I'd worn it. Lastly I liked the shape and the stripes, but I think the blue/black colors were just a little bit too similar in my opinion.

Obsessed
This jumpsuit was a huge hit. It gives you a really beautifully defined waist and legs for days. I have a long torso, but it fit me just right. I got the L because the R wasn't available. It was a perfect length for my 4" heels and still worked with 3" just barely touching the floor. I'm am hanging on to this and will be seriously considering purchasing.

Runs VERY small, did not wear
Admittedly I have large hips for my frame, but I think I would've needed a 12 to fit them in this dress. I'm anywhere between a 4 to an 8 normally depending on the dress shape. Not only did this not come close to going over my hips, it was almost to tight to zip/fit my upper body. This has little to no stretch. If you have curves, I recommend sizing at least 2 sizes up from your normal. I think it would've been stunning if it had fit. The quality is good and the color is a show stopper.

Just fine
This was a little boring and on the large size. I got a Medium which is a pretty typical size for me and it was VERY roomy. Since it's stretchy it wasn't super visually noticeable, but it just felt way too big so I didn't end up wearing it. Quality was good, pretty color and pattern, fabric was soft, just fit funny.

Simple but stunning
I'm in love with this. It is so comfortable and the perfect amount of form fitting. The fabric is incredibly soft and rich. I'm extremely tempted to keep it. I wore this all day at work and then after hours for a special event we hosted. I received plenty of compliments and felt like a million bucks!

So fun and sexy!
Rented for a girls night out in Vegas! One of my favorite rentals ever. So sexy and very comfortable. Fabric is soft and stretchy. Even my AA cups needed some tape to avoid a nip slip hut that slight extra work was more than worth it. Want to find a reason to rent again!!

Vibrant Colored Dress
I am usually a size 4 and likely, due to being smaller on top, could've done a 2. Other reviewers commented on the length of the straps and I would agree they are a bit long (especially with little bust to help fill it out). I think it would've fit solidly if the straps were a little shorter. Overall, aside from it coming down a bit much in the front on the sides for my taste it was a nice dress. I loved the bright blue color and the thicker fabric. Not my favorite rental but cute!

Classy with a fun twist back!
This was a back up dress when my original wasn't available. Per usual with E&J, I had to go up a bit in the sizing for this dress. I'm usually a 6 in their dresses but knew that with the bottom not having a slit I'd likely need to go up even more. I have full hips/thighs. While the top had quite a bit of room to spare, it was not noticeable or bothersome. The cut as with all E&J dresses I've tried was incredibly flattering. Loved it!

Flattering and comfy
I rented this dress to wear for my birthday and it was the perfect combination of dressy and casual for what I had planned. It was very comfortable and super cute. I could've wore either the XS or S and been fine. Went with the XS for a more fitted top. The cut out back is a fun detail. The length was also perfectly mid-thigh.

Sassy yet sophisticated!
Rented this dress for my office holiday party. The mesh cutouts made it fun but the length kept it classy. Just the right balance for the occasion. I'd say it's very true to size. I'm small on top and hippy on bottom. As expected the 4 was snug around the hips and it would ride up a bit. The 6 however was big enough in the waist to be less flattering. This is always my issue so I wasn't bothered. I went with the 4 to get the better overall shape and tugged the bottom down from time to time. Overall it was a huge hit! I was worried the mesh might be scratchy but it was not and the lining was silky smooth for a very comfortable wearing experience.

Knockout!
Definitely glad I heeded advice of reviewers as this dress does run small (particularly in the hip/thigh region). I had to size up from my normal size and it was still a bit tighter in the thighs than ideal. As in I could've likely been happy two sizes up from normal. Regardless this is my favorite dress rental to date! I felt incredible in this dress; the fabric was thick and soft. I loved the shape and the color. I got compliments all night! I would rent this again in a heartbeat and am even tempted to buy it!

Attention grabbing!
I rented both the size S & M, expecting to wear the S. The S fit but was tight to the point of being uncomfortable, especially on top and in the arms (where I'm fairly small). Thankfully, the M fit like a glove! One thing I didn't realize about the dress from glancing at pictures (but should have) is that the gold parts of this dress are tiny individual sequins. They weren't too bothersome, but I mention them since it's good to know going in that they are there. Now for the good bits. The fabric is thick and soft so it was comfortable to wear all night. It's very figure hugging and flattering. I felt amazing in this dress! I wore it to a concert and was certainly overdressed, but I loved it so much I didn't mind. I had several ladies go out of their way to tell me how much they loved my dress and how great I looked in it. I would certainly rent it again!

Gorgeous color!
Fit wonderfully! Cut outs always make me worried that they'll pinch my skin and bother me all night but these felt fine. The cut and color were what won me over the most so fun and flirty with the cut outs giving it a little bit of sexy.

Great color, odd fit
I have a very small chest and wider hips and therefore usually worry most about the skirts of dresses being too tight. With this dress the top was almost unable to be zipped it was so tight and there was extra room in the hips. It was bizarre for me. I'm a 32A and the top was so tight I had bright red marks after wearing it for 3 hours. In hindsight I would've been better off with a 4, but then the hips would have fit even worse. I had to pull it down constantly as it liked to bunch up. And the fabric is thick but shows everything thru it. I got complimented on it and did really like the color but overall not my favorite.

Flattering and oh so comfortable!
This was the most amazing dress I've ever worn! I was nervous about the arms/shoulders being too tight (a common problem for me) but they fit perfectly and weren't too short. The lining of the dress feels like heaven. This dress was extremely comfortable and looked amazing! So many compliments. The fabric was thick and warm. I would rent this dress again in a heartbeat. It was hard to send it back. My only minor issue was that I couldn't wear a normal bra as when I did the zipper would unzip to below the bra very easily. Not a deal breaker for me but something to test out before leaving the house.

Awesome fit, fabric and shape!
I loved this dress! I got so many compliments from strangers and friends at my event. I typically wear a size 4 and it fit very comfortably. Not too tight and it never moved all night. My only complaint is that the plastic boning in the bodice was very misshapen upon arrival. It took a bit of work to get them straightened back out to not be bubbling out in weird directions. But this dress was such a showstopper it was well worth it! Would definitely rent this dress again. Wonderful first pick with RtR.
