Very cute, but for the summer!
Rented this to wear to a wedding welcome dinner in Austin, TX in November - happened to be extremely cold in Austin that weekend! I should have read the reviews more carefully because this dress is extremely sheer. there is a tiny little slip (that starts at the waist not at the bust, so the bust area is completely see through under the ruffle) then the rest is thin a sheer. Very cute for a summer outing, but wasn't going to work for this event unfortunately!

Dress made me feel super sexy!
Fit was snug but not constricting. The style is modern and sexy without being so revealing (the slit on the side is really only visible when sitting down). The color is a great, jewel tone purple. Overall loved this look and will definitely be renting E&J styles in the future!

Cute and summery!
I wore this for my godson's Christening, because I thought the color and style seemed appropriate. It's was a super sweet dress, fit well, but beware it is pretty short. I'm 5'5" and it was quite short on me, especially sitting down! But overall, a cute look. The blue undertone comes through much more in person than in the photos on the models. Also, pleasantly surprised to discover pockets! Man, I love a dress with pockets!

THE dress for a beach wedding
Such a fun dress for a destination wedding on the beach! Very comfortable and most importantly easy to dance in (and swirl around like a flamenco dancer ;) I wore it with a strapless nude bra but recommend one with a small band/cup or no bra if you can get away with it as it was peeking out of the sides and back a bit (though the top was a tiny bit large so wasn't fitting exactly right)...overall not a huge issue and didn't take away from the awesomeness of this dress :)

So flattering!
I really liked this dress for a winter event! The pattern was bold and stood out against a lot of plain black dresses. It was sexy without being over the top, mostly due to it being fairly short. I will warn you about that - could not lift my arms over my head, if you know what I mean. But overall it was comfortable, fit well, and was very flattering. The only negative is (and I feel this way about a lot of RTR dresses) it looked a bit dull for a dress that was a bright pattern; like you could tell it had been worn and washed many times. But, shrug, I liked it.

Very comfy and great color!
Wore for a friends bridal shower. Very comfy and great color. Didn't love the dolman sleeves. It just looked like the top was too big. Not my favorite but had a good time anyway!

Cute southern wedding dress
Sweet dress for a summer wedding in Hotlanta. Very classy style. Didn't love the fit under the arms (little too tight). Otherwise great dress!

Funky asymmetric top, great look with tights and booties for winter partying!
Pretty LBD. VERY snug! My hips are pretty wide so I ended up wearing the medium so it would fit better over my hips but the small fit better on the top half. Wore with tights and booties for cold weather fun! Recommend spanx for a more slim silhouette.

Great pattern, but too big!
I had ordered a completely different dress in 2 sizes for a semi formal wedding; unfortunately my regular size (6) of that dress was returned badly damaged and RTR offered to replace it with a size 6 of any other dress that was available. I've had my eye on this one for a while so I was excited to give it a try. Unfortunately, it was way too big which was a shame because I loved the pattern and style! The top was just too billowy and gapey. But, I would definitely try renting this again by sizing down!

Pretty look, but didn't wear!
I ordered this dress in a size 6 (my usual size) and a size 8 (other reviewers recommended sizing up) for a semi formal summer wedding. RTR called to say the size 6 was badly damaged and offered to replace it with a different dress in a 6 (while sending me this dress in the 8). Unfortunately neither dress fit...this one was also a little too heavy for a hot day and the red lace looked a little faded (plus the slit in the back seemed kind of stretched out and the peach underneath was sticking out)....Pretty dress, but has probably seen better days.

Glad I had a short dress for a hot wedding!
Wore this to a wedding about 2 hours outside of Seattle 4th of July weekend and it was HOT. I liked the colors (red and navy) for a July 4th wedding, but it was a bit short. Well, maybe really short for me. I was actually kind of uncomfortable sitting down. I think its because of where the waist seam falls. I also thought that the higher waist and the pockets made the area around my hips kind of "poof out." It was a cute style, but the cut really wasn't for me.

I caught the bouquet!
I adored this dress! It was beautiful, young, modern, and comfortable for dancing! And I received so many compliments. I agree with other comments that the band around the waist was a bit tight, but I ended up wearing the 4R (usually a 6) because the 6R was just wait too large on top. It is quite long, even in heels, so just be careful of getting it stuck under chairs or shoes! Overall, I absolutely loved this look!

Wonderful compliments!
This dress looked wonderful and it was comfortable as well! The sleeves made it perfect for a winter formal dinner dance. I read the other review prior to renting, and took note that some people who order two sizes wore the slip underneath in 1 size and the black lace overlay in another. I ordered a Small and a Medium. With the medium dress, I actually got a Large size nude slip; I wore that underneath the Small size black lace part! I'm not sure if it was just weird on my body but the nude part was super small and tight, even in the large. But the black piece fit as expected. Overall it wasn't an issue and it looked good and most importantly, I felt good in it!
