Loved the color & fit!
Loved the color - great for a fall/winter cocktail wedding or event. I love Elizabeth & James for the fit of their dresses and this dress lived up to my expectations. Wish I would have packed a strapless bra

Great for outdoor wedding!
Loved the colors & print. It has a triangle shape to it so there is nothing fitted except the neck. I went a size down because of this. If you have a thicker neck then maybe size up as your backup.

Perfect for a winter party! Thick material, great for cold weather.
Loved how this dress was form-fitting and the subtle details. Wore it for wedding party which happened to be December in Philadelphia. Thicker material (like most of the reviews said) which was perfect for the winter, but might be too thick if you wore it in July outdoors. Arms were a bit tight, so it made it a little difficult to lift my arms up in the air when dancing.

Elegant glam!
Wore these for a wedding weekend and absolutely loved them. Great for cocktail and black tie events. They really added a little more elegance without overdoing it

Great color/style - small in bust
A bit small in the chest - the design has seems that go right up and stop in an awkward place in the bust. Material has some stretch but not much

Great cocktail/black tie combo dress!
The dress has plenty of give in the bust and skirt but the band around the waist is fitted so I'd advise sizing up for your backup. I wasn't comfortable going bra-less but I was able to wear a standard bra with a low-back extender (can be bought at Victoria's Secret for $15). Overall such a fun dress!

Love the print!
Loved the print and design of the dress - classy and great for spring/summer. It can be a bit snug in the chest and shoulders, but overall a great dress for a spring/summer event when you are not in the sun the whole time.

Great for a night out! (But large in the bust)
LOVED this outfit for a night out. I went with a size 0 and it was rather large in the bust. I am a 32 C and whoever wore this outfit last severely stretched out the bust area. Luckily I had some safety pins and just pined the top to my bra. The shorts had some room in it as well so it wasn't tight around the booty. The waist was more elastic but wasn't tight either. I would definitely size down unless you are blessed with the features to fill out the top ;)

Great statement earrings
Loved these earrings but they were a little heavy for my ears. Still wore them anyways, just took a little getting used to the weight

Great for a night out with the girls
I usually range from a 0 to 2 but the 2 was unavailable. The 0 fit nicely but was rather snug (which I usually don't mind) especially in the bust. If you are a bit curvier, make sure to size up. Great color and design! Got a lot of compliments from the girls on the bachelorette trip I wore this for

Great for a bachelorette party!
Perfect outfit for casual or dressy setting. I range from 0 to 2 but the 0 wasn't available. The 2 fit nicely, but the 0 probably would have fit me better in the bust. Still didn't stop me from wearing it - just had to wear a bra with a little padding to fill out the bust. Loved the design - especially the pockets which were hardly noticeable.

The print was stunning!
Loved the print and the fit. The dress is a little short, but the long sleeves and high neckline counter any slutty look about it.

Treasure Garden Sheath

Loved how it spiced up a typical LBD for a cocktail event!
Loved the fit - hugs every curve. I am usually a 0 or 2, I chose to go with a 0 but just be warned the sleeve holes are a bit tight /small. Wore this for a cocktail event and this was the perfect way to stand out but not be the center of attention. Spices up the normal LBD with the sheer sleeves and neckline.

Loved the colors and how the dress hugged my body - but still comfortable enough to dance
Loved the colors of this dress but just a heads up there isn't really much stretch to it. I loved how it hugged every curve of my body but again not much stretch in the fabric

Love the color and the back! Great for rehearsal dinner or any night out
Only size available was a 0 so it was a bit snug since I am normally a 2. Only place it was tight was high waist, right at the rib cage but everywhere else the material has some stretch so it felt great when dancing and moving around. Loved the color and the design! If it came in a size 2 I would've had a hard time returning it!

Love how it hugged every curve of my body. The material has some stretch but not a whole lot - enough to dance though! The color was a much lighter green than I had hoped, but nice color for a summer wedding. I felt elegant and sexy at the same time. Love this designer!

Loved the color and lace design BUT doesn't have a shape to it
LOVED the color and the design of the lace BUT it really didn't do anything for my figure. When I added a belt like some girls advised from previous reviews, it looked better but I didn't want to be fidgeting with the belt during the event. So I didn't end up wearing this dress. Great dress for spring summer and if maybe you want to hid your midsection. Little big so the size I normally ordered worked but could have gone a size down

Great color and fits to your curves for a classy but not too sexy look
Fits to your curves in all the right places but not too tight that you can't move or is too revealing. Great color that works for night or day events. Wore this for a graduation and received many compliments on the color. I am normally not a cap sleeve person, but this was cut in a flattering way. Only problem was the sleeves/shoulders would scrunch up from time to time and I'd have to pull the sleeves down. Overall: loved the dress, definitely would rent again and recommend friends to rent it for any party

Stunning and classy dress that will make heads turn
Loved the color and how the dress fits - it will fit you like a glove! Rented a XS and S but went with the small so it wasn't too right or short. Great for any cocktail outing or any fun night out

Loved the design and how well it fit!
Amazing design and loved the colors. It's actually a light pearly pink not a white dress - great for any spring/summer wedding or cocktail attire event. Runs tight in the chest and is snug through waist/hips. VERY flattering and received lots of compliments

Great deal if you plan on renting 2+ dresses during the year!
HOW CAN YOU PASS UP ON THIS DEAL!? I have a lot of weddings/formal events coming up this year so I knew I would be renting more than 1 dress for multiple occasions. This is an incredible deal if you plan on using rent the runway more than once in a calendar year - and if you rent from them once, you definitely will be back for more!

Great fall/winter cocktail dress! Love the 3/4 length sleeves and it fits like a glove
I wore this to my friend's engagement party in January. It was great and I received a lot of compliments on it from a wide age-range of people. If you have a cocktail event in the winter, this dress is great for color and coverage. The sides panels and sleeve are black while the rest of the dress is a navy blue so in dimmer lighting it all looks like one color but it helps make you look a bit slimmer in pictures.
