Perfect fall dress
My second size became unavailable a week before my dress was set to deliver (shout out to RTR customer service for getting me a second option) so I can’t say if the LR would’ve fit but the medium worked well. A smidge tight where it zipped but overall was great. As other reviews noted, fashion tape is a must. This was a fall wedding and the colors in the dress give off all the fall vibes. Great rental, so pleased with this one!

Sexy pilgrim
This was perfect for an early fall wedding in Seattle. The slit makes the dress sexy without being revealing. I ordered an 8 and 10 and the 8 fit great! I do agree with other reviews it’s weird the dress has belt loops but no belt so I added a black belt and YES it was perfection. Didn’t love this at first but kinda one of my fave rentals, sexy pilgrim vibes and all

Pretty blue
This dress was cute on. Could've gone with the 10 but it was a bit loose. Felt like the 8 didn't hide my pouch all the way. Overall I liked it but not a favorite rental. I'm typically a size 8/10, B cup (no bra required w this dress!) and I weigh about 170 with an athletic build for reference.

Channeling my inner Gaga
What a fun dress! Fabric was thick and well made. 10 fit but it was a tight squeeze so I went with the 12. The sleeve part was a bit loose on both sizes so I was nervous about falling out but no issues. I danced all night with no problem. No bra required on this one! My friends kept calling me Lady Gaga with the sleeves - I think it was a compliment? Lol

A little heavy for hot, humid weather
I didn't love this but it was cute for a beach wedding. I will say the material was kind of heavy though and everything was outside so I was basically melting. Also pretty casual affair but looked fine with sandals. I liked this and fit was ok just not my favorite!

Perfect with pockets
I would recommend getting a size up for your second size on this one. Straps are not adjustable and a bit loose on me but even without any fashion tape I was at no risk of falling out even while dancing! No bra required with this one either which was great since it is so low cut. Fabric is thick with lining so I wouldn't recommend for anything outdoors in the heat. Fabric was beautiful and I loved the pattern. Another winner!

Gorgeous for the start of summer
I didn't realize there was s zipper until I got to the wedding so the medium might have fit but the large was fine too! Fabric is super light and airy for summer. I wore a bra with sticky sides. You could see it a little but I couldn't just not wear a bra and it didn't look bad. Loved this rental so much! Another RTR win!

Rented this for a volunteer daytime event. I read reviews saying this fit large but for me ot was true to size. I felt elegant and beautiful in this dress! Definitely more conservative perfect for this event. Another RTR win!

Stand out in Orange!
Definitely not a color I would normally rent but I loved this dress! It was pretty short but not obscene. Maybe not the best choice for a more formal or conservative wedding though. Perfect for the bachelorette I attended! Got tons of compliments and the dress was so flattering! Medium fit perfect!

So the 10 and 12 fit. The 12 was super long though and the 10 was tight with the clasp done but I made it work (and tried not to eat too much!). Overall the dress was beautiful and I loved it

Cute for a bridal shower
Not one of my favorite rentals but still looked cute for a bridal shower! Had to use some fashion tape on the top to keep my bra from showing but otherwise fit well.

Classy with a touch of HOT
I was so worried about this dress fitting as it's fitted throughout and I have a bit of a stomach to hide BUT it was perfect!!! Paired with opaque black tights it looked great! The inside lining did ride up a bit when sitting for long periods but overall a great rental. Definitely recommend

So Many Compliments! Plus Pockets!
One of my favorite rentals I think! It has pockets (YES) and fit me perfect. I typically have to go up a size for most of my dresses, but this one fit true to size with the 10. I didn't even try on the 12. A bit longer than I anticipated, hitting a few inches above the knees, but it didn't bother me like it usually might because the top had so much interest. I wore a normal black demi bra with no issues - you couldn't see it really. It hid my trouble area (midsection) very well and the fabric was thicker but I think would work well for any time of the year. This dress made me feel confident and beautiful and I would highly recommend it!

Perfect for a Fall Wedding
So in jeans I wear a 10 but typical Elizabeth and James is a size up so I'm calling this true to size. This dress fit so great and the asymmetrical hem gave it a little fun detail. I was nervous it wouldn't hide any tummy imperfections but to no avail it did hide my tummy just fine. This dress hit me mid thigh and the fabric had some give to it. The necklace was also rented and set off the blue of the dress perfectly! Loved this dress I would definitely recommend it!

Pretty in Pink
This was my backup for a wedding after my original dress looked like a quilt! As per the usual with Elizabeth and James, it ran a bit small and I had to wear the 12. Fit was fine with sticky bra. Although the skirt flows out and hides any tummy issues a bit, it doesn't totally hide them so I was a bit self conscious in it. Overall a very pretty dress though and worked well for the wedding :)

My favorite rental yet
Upon reading the reviews I was very nervous this dress wouldn't fit. I have an athletic shape and usually have issues in the shoulder and high waist area so I ordered the 12 and thankfully it fit perfectly! I'm 5'7" and the regular length was fine with heels. I felt so beautiful in this dress I really really didn't want to send it back! I will caution that it was in the 80s and muggy from the rain at an outdoor reception and I was pretty warm before the sun went down so if it's going to be hot and you'll be outside keep that in mind. This is a knockout dress though so go for it if you're on the fence!

Loved this dress!!!! I was so worried the 10 wouldn't fit and it was a bit snug but it worked! I wore without a bra for more room (not sure it wouldn't zipped with one) and I got so many compliments, some from just random people at the wedding! It made me feel great:) one of my favorite rentals!

So Bummed Because This Dress is Too Cute!
It was just too tight:( I'm usually a 10 and even the 12 was SOOO tight on the legs it just looked trashy. I will say that i have very muscular legs so I just think it wasn't the right fit for me. Wish it had worked though!

Just didn't care for it!
So everyone said to go down a size but the 8 was way too small on me. the 10 fit but again was pretty tight right under the bust. i definitely could have worn it and been fine i just wasn't feeling it so i sent back!

Definitely runs a size small so I would order up a size. The 12 was even a bit tight in the rib cage area but tolerable. Overall a good rental!

Cute for a bachelorette party!
This dress came in and I didn't love it when I tried it on but all dressed up I liked it much better. It's a little poofy in the front but it did still look flattering I thought. Everyone shows pics of the back so I thought I would show one of the front and how I accessorized. Overall a good rental!!!

Didn't fit right
So i have a very athletic body and i think because of that the 10 was SUPER short-like you could see my butt if i moved the wrong way short. The 12 was just too big and not cute. it needed just a bit more structure to look cute and it didn't have that. i think this is a dress that would look cute in small sizes but not someone like me. i loved this dress and wish it looked cute on me though!

just wasn't cute on me:(
I rented the 10 and 12. i lift a lot of weights so the 10 i couldn't even get the sleeves up on. but i'm not saying it runs small because i think on a normal person it would have fit just fine. The 12 fit but it looked a bit boxy on me. It also was doing the pooch thing in the hips which is odd because i don't really have hips but whatever. it wasn't even tight just didn't fit right. But a SUPER cute dress!

Great for a bridal shower!
I was very worried this dress was going to be too tight based on the other reviews but it was great! My second size was unavailable but the 10 fit fine. It was a bit tight through the chest and arms but fit great everywhere else! I liked this dress, didn't love it but several ppl told me it was flattering so maybe I'm being hard on myself. Great first RTR experience!
