Snug fit, way too short
Did not wear this. Construction was nice as were the fabrics. At 5’9” it was very short and I would have been nervous sitting down in it. It was snug around the hips and bust, but not sure a bigger size would have helped with the length.

This is bold, but classy. Showstopper. I wore it to host an event last week where I was the greeter for 800 guests to arrive. It is so comfy, has pockets! Looks expensive and chic but so easy to wear.

This was a backup for me and I didn’t wind up wearing it, but it was a gorgeous color, beautiful fabric and so comfortable. Can be dressed up or down, but is overall a perfect day dress.

Perfect spring frock
I’m busty and it was a little snug in the chest but not unwearable. It’s comfortable and lightweight and I felt very put together at a local fashion show. It’s spring in Chicago chilly, so I paired it with blonde slouchy suede boots and the Maje fringe raffia bag. Perfect afternoon party dress.

Did not wear
Definitely too snug. It was a backup choice and I would not have been able to wear it even if I’d wanted to. Felt a little cutesy for my age. (45) Definitely would not describe it as elegant or sophisticated. Definitely more playful and the material felt a little casual, almost like denim, although made well.

Interesting and eye catching.
It’s heavy and a little clunky, but definitely makes a statement. I did receive a compliment on it, and it did hold an iPhone max, lip gloss and car keys, but barely. Everything had to be stacked inside just right to get it to close, but it worked!

Stylish and fun for CA wedding
I felt really trendy in the Coachella valley wearing this! The colors and boho vibe were perfect for an 86 degree “spring” evening. It’s so comfortable and loose, but huge. Since the only ‘contact’ point with your skin is the neck closure, definitely size down. Obviously it requires no bra or stickers, and I felt like I really could have used fashion tape to keep the side boob under control. I ordered the L and XL as I usually am a size 10/12, but could have sized down one or two. It’s just so open in the back, and didn’t hug me anywhere- I was worried about my underwear showing and boobs falling out. I had a Boombas double stick bra on which held it in place. It definitely photographed well!

Beautiful color and cut. Feminine with a little sass.
Tons of compliments on this dress! I’m 5’8” and wore a 2-3” nude sandal. Length was perfect. I’m busty and was a little worried about not wearing a bra, but the straps are so structured with thick material and beautiful construction, that I put in Boombas sticky pads and it was perfect all night.

Really flattering and fashion forward.
I'm 5'8" and grateful I sized up to the 12 as my backup. It was *just* long enough in the torso/ crotch. I was worried when I first zipped it, that I wouldn't be able to sit without it choking me, or ripping the ass out. LOL. Its a beautiful material, hugs the curves...love the pockets! Going to the bathroom required a second person assist, but since we seem to travel in packs to the restrooms, that was a non-issue!

Holiday festive with edge.
Super flattering length even for my height, and the gathers around the waist are very forgiving. I'll echo others that the sleeves were tight. My arms are lean and muscular and the snaps didn't stay shut at all, but that was ok. It was so comfy and fun to wear and I had many compliments.

This dress is a stunner!
Perfect for a summer wedding, the colors and patterns are so bold and flirty and on trend. I'm really busty, and the knot detail actually worked for me to not have to wear a bra, which I NEVER do. It's so visually fun, all you need is a bright lip and minimal jewelry. Comfortable and easy to wear- nothing fitted or restricting. Dance all night kind of dress!

This dress is SO flirty and fun!
I read all the reviews that it's SHORT and TIGHTz and it was both of those things. I'm 5'8" and if I were going to a party where I knew I'd be standing all night, I would have actually worn it. But to a wedding, all I could picture was my bare butt on the chairs all night, listening to speeches. LOL. It's made well, the fabric and ruffle are so special. It def runs small and is short, but hugs every curve and is a showstopper!

The color is stunning!
This dress is a knockout. It hugs every curve and fit like a glove. The color is so fresh and stunning for spring. Nude heels and minimal jewelry. It didn't need anything else to make a statement! Hard to know what to say about the fit...I'm a solid 8, never a 6, occasionally a 10. I couldn't have taken it any smaller, so I guess its TTS, but i'd suggest one up from your usual as the backup size, just to be sure. On the hanger it wasn't that impressive, but on its a wow!

This is too hot to handle!
The 8 fit like a glove, and I agree with previous reviews that the straps are long. I'm 5'8" and didn't need to pin them or shorten them, but because the bodice was low, needed some boosters for my post-nursing "mom boobs." LOL. I stuck inserts/ cutlets into the cups and it was magic. Flattering and WOW. Will definitely rent it again!

This dress is comfy, and flattering. Hugs in all the right places. It needs a spray tan or beautiful olivey skin to really wow, but its a stunner. Fabric is thick and snug. Definitely not going to hide any problem areas you think you might have, but its wearable and sexy and fun!

Very cute on the hanger. Love that you can wear a regular bra with it and dress it up or down.
It was HUGE. I am a solid 8. Rarely a 6, even less frequently a 10. I ordered the L, and I was absolutely swimming in it. Gave me no shape at all, so I didn't wear it. It was cute, though!

Business in front, party in the back!
This dress is amazing on. It’s so chic and sexy. I’m busty and the bra situation was tricky- light fabric was definitely not fitted enough to go without, so I had to rig up an underwire with the sticky tabs on the size, cut to hide in the minimal side coverage. All that being said, it was totally worth it!

This dress is a SHOW STOPPER! And the pockets are everything!
I'm a busty, solid 8 but needed the 10 to zip around my chest. Even then, I was a little mashed, but a bra added some shape. It has a beautiful corset hook inside that helps it stay in place all night. The fabric is heavy and gorgeous, such high quality and so bold. The hem is flirty and fun. Its incredible in person and I received compliments all night.

Unforgettable! Fun and flirty.
This dress was so much fun to wear. I got a million compliments on it- I absolutely prefer a bra when possible, and it was not possible with this dress, so keep that in mind. I'm 5'8" and the under skirt was SHORT. Barely covered my undies, but I knew i'd be standing for the whole night, so went with it. Gorgeous construction and details. Its a party in itself!

This dress is a knockout!
This was a gamble for me! I would never normally gravitate toward floral, but for an early October baptism in Chicago, this dress was perfect! Seasonally appropriate, the lace makes the floral super edgy and fun. I got so many compliments on it and just wore a bold Kendra Scott earring and a cocktail ring...no other accessories necessary. So comfortable and easy to wear. I'm 5'8" and wore with 3" heels. Length was perfect.

Fabulous dress!!
Perfect for a chilly March evening in Chicago. The sleeve and lace is so on-trend, and the ease of wearing a real bra and being mostly covered up, but totally chic is such a bonus when everyone is still pale from a long winter! So comfortable and easy to wear. Length sassy and perfect. Wore with nearly identical heels as model.

Great way for a jumpsuit virgin to take the plunge!
The sizing was a little tricky, but I loved this jumpsuit! Tons of compliments all night. Nice, thick material. My first time trying a jumpsuit...I am built more or less like the girl in the photo, but definitely need a bra. I made a backless sticky work well- the cut ins by the armpits are a little more dramatic in person than on the model and I wasn't sure when it arrived that a bra would work at all. The no-show sticky was perfect. I also don't consider myself to have a 'long torso,' but I had to size up in this to avoid it being too snug from crotch to shoulder.

I'd had by eye on this for a while and finally pulled the trigger for x-mas eve.
So many compliments! Perfect winter white and love the hi-low hem. Definitely size down for your backup...i'm never a 6 so ordered a 10 as my backup, and could have easily worn the 6. Fabric wrinkles easily and has almost no stretch...kind of a non-shiny stain with nice nude lining underneath. Felt comfortable and fashionable! I wore with laser cut black booties for a chicago evening, but easy to dress up or down. Would recommend!

These look exactly like the model on. Slim fit, lots of stretch...i'm 5'8 and the M came just an inch or two above the ankle, which is on-trend right now, so that worked well by default! Wore with a top similar to model for NYE party. Festive and fun!!

Showstopper!
This dress is amazing. Just the right amount of stretch, sass, and style to be unforgettable. Compliments all night long. Fabric is CLINGY, but its thick and forgiving, like most body con things are. I was able to wear a regular racerback bra with it, which was a huge bonus. I'm 5'8" and wore a substantial heel...its definitely a long midi length, so I'm sure height helps the overall look and wearability of this particular style. I've already got it back in my cart for a party next month! The medium fit and held everything in just that much more, but I went with the large. I actually didn't feel a huge difference between the two. I'm a solid 8 in clothes.

This dress is incredible. Brand runs VERY small.
This dress is gorgeous. White is a little more winter white than crisp white...Material is thick and luxe. Cutouts on trend and just the right amount of sexy. That said, this dress, and everything else E&J i've ever tried on, runs a full size or two small. I'm a solid, lean, athletic 8, *sometimes* 10 in the bust, (34DD)....this dress zipped but I felt like a sausage in it. Trying way too hard to breathe. Had to send it back, but if you're on the lanky side, go for it! Its incredible!!

This romper is so much fun! First time i'd ever worn one... the color is gorgeous and the cutouts are just enough sass without feeling like you're trying too hard. ;-) I wore it to a concert and a long night out, and got tons of compliments. Comfortable and just the right amount of stretch. I am very busty, and was able to get away without a bra, which I rarely do. Strapless showed. Would totally rent again!

Perfect for late winter/ spring baptism.
Dress is on long side. I can see how it could have overwhelmed someone short. Also, fabric on skirt is heavy. Almost like drapery upholstery. Definitely not a flowy, light weight material. It was a perfect transition piece for an unseasonably warm February day in Chicago. I chose it thinking I could wear black tights if I had to, but they weren't necessary. Liked the pockets and the fact that a regular bra was possible.

This dress is fantastic! Simple, classic design with showstopping color.
The material is thin and leaves VERY little to the imagination. I tried 3 different spanx...shorts showed in the slits, briefs showed on the waistband and hip...It took some creativity to find undergarments that worked. Commando would have been easiest! But, its worth it. Comfortable and stretchy for long night out. Wore with shoes identical to model and fun bangle. Doesn't need more than that!
