Not my favorite rental ever
I ordered the 0 and 2, but there was an issue on the RTR side and they could only send me the 0. I'm about 5'5" and 115lbs. While the 0 fit the arms were pretty tight and itchy and the way the dress was cut at the waist just wasn't as flattering as I thought it would be. I just didn't love this dress as much as I thought I would. I ended up changing between the ceremony and reception to wear something else to the reception. This was just okay.

Good, but very tight.
As usual, E&J is very form fitting. The small wasn't available so I had to rent the XS. While it fit, I think the small would have fit better. Because of the nature of the fabric, it tends to squish your girls down. Which, isnt the end of the world, but from the side can look kind of odd. Additionally, it was making my armpit fat (you know what I mean) hang over the edge the top, so I kept pulling it up all night to mitigate that. Id rent it again, but in a size small.

Great skirt, very flattering
I was surprised at how much shorter the size 0 skirt was, so I opted for the size 2. Very flattering and well made, as all E&J dresses are, very happy with it.

Great color - fit perfectly!
Me: 5'5", 110 pounds The 2R was too big for me in the waist, so I wore the 0R which fit perfectly, though it was very tight. The length was perfect for 3-4 inch heels. My biggest complaint was how tight the dress was in the thighs, it made it impossible to dance in. I also had trouble getting up the steps of the bus to go to the wedding because I couldn't take big strides. That being said, it was a great dress and Id probably rent it again, though not for a wedding where one wants to actually move in it. Got a lot of compliments and was really happy with it overall.

Really different dress!
This dress fit really well. As other reviewers noted, the fabric is thick and holds you in. The design is something different and I received lots of compliments. I liked that there was no need to wear a bra because of how well the dress was made and the thick fabric. Overall, a great dress that Id rent again.

Something different and unique!
I rented this for NYE and it was perfect! I'm about 5'5 and 111 pounds. I could have worn the zero, but the sleeves were pretty tight and I wanted to be able to dance. The size two fit well, but I found it to be a tad big in the waist area, but nothing very noticeable so that's what I went with. I would rent this again!

Perfect dress
This dress is a great color and its super flattering. Be ware, as other reviewers have stated, its quite short. I could have worn a zero, but just didnt feel like it was an appropriate length. Additionally, when dancing, the skirt does come up a bit if youre spinning. I feel like the awesome fit, comfortability and color still make it one of my favorite rentals ever.

Simple, classic dress.
I rented this to wear to a bridal shower, but didnt end up wearing either size I rented. The dress is nice, but I wasn't wowed by it. The zero fit everywhere, but was a bit tight in the bust. Because there wasn't a lot of give in the fabric it ended up smushing my chest down, which is why I didnt wear it. If I had gone up a size and worn the size 2, it would have been loose everywhere else. Additionally, the dress is a bit more formal than I thought it would be, probably best for a professional event or similar. I'm 5'5" and I liked the length, it was just past the knees which made it a bit different than most dresses.

Perfect little black dress!
Wore this to my rehearsal dinner with nude heels and a pony and it worked out perfectly. Wore a delicate gold necklace of my own, as well. I was really happy with this selection, it was exactly as pictured and worked out perfectly.

The dress is gorgeous in person, a real show stopper!
The color is great and so much better than I thought it would be. I wish other reviewers had been as explicit as Im about to be - the regular lengths are SHORT. I do not recommend the regular length for anyone over 5'2". Im 5'4" and there was barely any fabric on the ground when I was wearing my dress which meant as soon as I put a shoe on, you could see my toes. I really would have preferred the long length.

Very eye catching dress!
I loved the color and fit of this dress. It really caught people's attention. I dont think I would rent it again due to the tightness around the thigh area. I could barely walk up steps, let alone dance. Since I wore it to a wedding, the not being able to dance part was kind of a deal breaker for me. Again, it looks great, but getting into and out of cars, walking up stairs, etc. was not easy and slightly embarrassing if anyone was around and watching.

Flattering dress, great color, fit was okay.
Overall, I liked this dress. I'm not sure if I would rent it again though. As others noted, the fabric rarely laid completely flat and I often had to pull the dress down after sitting because the fabric would bunch up. It didn't seem to matter what I did, it continued to bunch in the middle and wouldn't stay flat for very long. I did like how thick the fabric was and it seemed to hold me in well and was flattering.

Perfect for Vegas!
Dress fit great and I received a lot of compliments! It's actually nicer in person than it photographs- the fabric is thick and the blue material is actually raised, so it gives the dress some dimension. Though its tight, the fact that the material is thick means it actually helps hold you in. I ordered both the XS and S sizes and ended up wearing the small, I'm typically a size 2. Because the dress is so tight its very difficult to get on and off so I couldn't imagine trying to squeeze into the XS. I'd highly recommend and would definitely use rent the runway again.
