Funky fun!
I wore this to the theatre at Christmastime. The textures are fun and funky. I love the velvet. It was appropriate for a family event and still fun. Runs true to size and is appropriate length.

Fun!
The intricate lace on this dress is show stopping! It's gorgeous! The stop runs large but beware this dress is SHORT and I am only 5'0. It was great for NYE because of the sleeves! I absolutely loved this and would rent again! I wish I owned it!

classic
The dress is subtle but slimming! I love it! It's classic and the stripes are flattering in all the right places! This dress is perfect when you want to look beautiful without being the center of attention. Dress is well made and structured. It is tighter on top and forgiving for pear shapes!! Definitely wear with a statement necklace.

Classic Hepburn
I wore this to my husband's work holiday party. It was classic! Several people mentioned it was very Audrey Hepburn! I loved it! I highly recommend a strapless bra with this but other than that its true to size and perfect for business events!

Perfection!
This was not my first choice dress I received it because the dress I wanted to wear was to damaged to be rented out. However, I loved this dress. I was flawless and I loved it! Things you should know about it. This is my second Elizabeth and James dress and they do run extremely small compared to other RTR brands so size up! I wore and 8 and I almost always wear a 4 or 6. This dress fit me perfectly. It showed off my curves and still looked classy. The cutouts are trendy but can be worn with nude underwear and a strapless bra. This dress is perfection! The only thing I would be aware of is that it is a very very pale pink almost cream so if its a super traditional wedding I would avoid it! I cannot say enough good things about this dress. I love Elizabeth and James!

Great for a networking event
My husband had to attend a local wine tasting charity event for work and this dress was perfect! It's artsy and modern! It's also appropriate for work. It not to strappy and knee length on me. I loved it! This dress is super flattering and amazing! I loved it!

Tight and glittery
This dress is awful! It is very tight and unforgiving. I sized up due to reviews and was still very uncomfortable. I hated how glittery it was in person. Its way to much and not at all my taste. Unimpressed. I wore it because I didn't have a back up plan but I was insecure.

NEVER UPSTAGE THE BRIDE
This is perfect for a rehearsal dinner. Its subtle and its a statement all at the same time. The color is amazing. Its a rich berry color. I chose to pari it with a bright necklace because its summer. This a truly high quality dress. It felt great. It looked amazing. I got a ton of compliments without looking like I was trying way to hard. That being said this dress runs really small. I am pear shaped so I sized up to account for that but even the arms were super tight. Spanx made it bearable and no one noticed but I could have used an 8 (which is weird because I use RTR a lot and almost always wear a 4). I wish I owned this dress. Its my favorite color and it would work well for so many occasions but size up! You'll need to!

This dress is a showstopper!
This dress is a statement! Its shorter and brighter than the picture. I'm only 5'0 so I wasn't worried about the length but its SHORT and questionably wedding appropriate. That being said I don't mind making a statement and I loved the color. It was tight on my hips and butt which was expected because I am more pear shaped. Also if your petite the shoulder pads are serious. This dress isn't average, its not quiet, it doesn't blend in. If you like that this dress is a major showstopper!

I loved this print!
I got tons of compliments on this dress! I found that I wore my regular size but have small bust anyway so not a problem for me. I loved the print! I wore it for my sister's graduation and party. It was conservative enough for a family event and the print still stood out! Its bright a summery. Loved it! It is more green than the picture but its beautiful. I was sad to send it back.

Perfect for NYE
Perfect for NYE we attended an upscale "black tie BBQ" waterfront. This dress was more gray than I thought it would be but I loved it . It did run small on the mid section but I added Spanx and wore the larger size. I loved the sleeve.

Fun and Flirty
I got so many compliments on this dress. I loved the fit. The cutouts on the side make in sexy and flirty but the mid thigh length makes it dressy enough for a wedding. I wore this with a strapless bra
