I rented this dress as a "back up" for my sister's wedding after she said she didn't want me to have to buy a special dress I would never wear again :) I actually had this in mind for the rehearsal dinner, but after trying it on I changed my mind. It is a beautiful dress appropriate for a more formal occasion. It is long in the back, especially if you are short like me! I wish I had bought the size 0 as a back-up. I usually wear a size 4. Because it looked looser I sized down for my back-up. It fit. I was able to wear it. I think I could have even sized down, though, for a more comfortable fit. For one thing, the sleeves kept sliding off my shoulders. I do have narrow shoulders and the fashion tape that was included with my order took care of that. Also, it was a little longer in the back than was comfortable. That's why I didn't wear it to the rehearsal dinner. I didn't want the back dragging on the city street! It was fine at the wedding, which was outdoors, but I did worry about it dragging and snagging on a branch, etc. Overall, though, I was extremely pleased with my first time rental and will definitely be renting from here again due to this experience. I wanted to try this style and I was glad I had the chance to do so. I received compliments all night long on this dress!

Rented this in my normal size and one size smaller. It looked like it fit looser and it did. I was glad I had the smaller size because that is what I ended up wearing. It was a cute dress, fun for a night out. I wish I could have stayed out longer!

I love this dress! I loved it the moment I saw it for sale and I knew I had to rent it when it became available. I thought it would be perfect for my sister's garden wedding, but it was unavailable. Instead I rented another Elizabeth and James dress of similar design. I'm glad I was able to try on the style before I rented this exact dress. I am short, about 120 lbs, and usually wear a size 4. I rented the first style in size 4 with a 2 for a back-up since it looks like a looser fit. I wore the size 2 for mys sister's wedding. The size 2 still fit loose in the shoulders, though. This time when I rented this dress I chose a size 2 with a 0 for a back-up. I was able to wear the size 0. It still was a little long...someone stepped on it :( It was worth it, though, it is beautiful and I received compliments all night long, including from the woman who stepped on it!
