This jumpsuit is the cat's pajamas
These are basically prison pajamas that you can wear in public and somehow receive compliments. I would be OK wearing this almost every day of my life. Incredibly comfortable and fit well in the body and the legs - a lot of jumpsuits are way too short. It would be tough to dress this up but even guys thought this was a fun item (most slightly weird things I rent do *not* get that reaction).

Cozy and Cute
This shirt dress is super comfy and cozy. I've rented a medium before which was great without leggings or tights; the small with a little short without tights.

Super warm jacket
This jacket isn't tiny or slim fitting... but it does have a cinchable waist, is fashionable enough to garner compliments and it is SO SO WARM. It's basically like walking around in a sleeping bag. Perfect for really, really cold weather (think under 20 degrees). Over 40 and you'll be sweating.

Great date night outfit!
A really good mix of provocative and classy - definitely NOT work appropriate without a camisole!

Cute winter sweater!
This isn't hugely attention grabbing, but it's coat and cozy for winter. I'd say it runs slightly large for a non-overized item and while it's relatively warm, it's not a super heavy sweater.

Love! Most compliments maybe ever.
Granted it was all women who commented, but I got about a billion compliments on this. It is a great transition season piece and very stylish without being too much for daylight hours.

Good work dress
I thought this would be a little more day to night but the fabric is heavier and lined - way more day appropriate than the front zipper would imply. It was a cute dress but I wish I sized down.

The perfect fall piece
I wore this for a night out with a friend and she was obsessed with it. I opted to wear it without a bra, which seemed like a bad move initially but I am happy to report there were no wardrobe functions (I'm not chesty; your mileage may vary). The only annoying thing is a button fly with about 10,000 buttons. Super cute, very comfy, plenty long in the torso which isn't something I can say about all one pieces!

Runs super small
I've noticed some Elizabeth & James pieces are quite true to size and others are almost shockingly small. This was the latter - I got in on with no real problem, but even being in shape enough to confidently rock a crop top, there was a little too much skin poking out the sides of this for me to be comfortable wearing it publicly. It needs a little more stretch - would size up. I'm generally between a 4-6, at least in my waist, and the 6 was borderline at best.

Perfect fall jumpsuit
Can I just say how much I loved this and how many compliments I got? I am tall and a bit long in the torso so unfortunately this was just a smidge short in the body; otherwise this jumpsuit is perfection. The fabric drapes well and is heavy enough to keep you warm without being stiff. Definitely a cooler weather transition piece.

Edgy without being too revealing
I'd say this dress fits generally true to size, although it was the smallest big snug in my shoulders and loose in the waist (hey, I'll take it!). The lace is heavier and more substantial than what I had envisioned - more doily than tablecloth - and the lining is also very sturdy. This makes for a well-constructed garment that doesn't have a ton of give but is also wayyyy warmer than it looks. I ended up wearing this on a day that started out as 60 but ended up 80 and humid and was melting.

A good fall day-to-night dress
This definitely runs a shade big - I generally expect clothing with a lot of stretch to run small, so when in doubt, I ordered up. Frequently my shoulders are the dealbreaker so I went with a size 6 and it was a smidge looser than I preferred. It was perfectly fine for work, great for drinks but a bit more conservative than I would usually pick for a night out. As others have said, it is very well made of substantial fabric so it is a perfect fall option. I'd order a size down.

Great summer shift
This fabric of this dress is much thicker than I anticipated. Everyone at work loved it, but it made it a bit more formal than I like to wear everyday. Great if you love your shoulders and perhaps feel less strongly about your mid-section!

It's like wearing pajamas in public.
Oh my god, if George Costanza had worn this, he would have lived in it instead of a velvet tracksuit. It is SO COMFORTABLE and very easy for bathroom visits unlike many rompers/jumpsuits. It definitely runs large and long - I have a super long torso and the small was still absolutely the correct size.

My clueless boss liked this.
Love this dress for shoulder season weather. Flattering, got lots of compliments, super comfortable. The medium was a little big on me which is why I said it ran large; not sure if it was just a style issue and a small would have been too small.

Wore this for a work photo shoot; super flattering color.
I am a 4-6 in a dress and am REALLY glad I got this in a 6. It was the correct size but is very structured; do not size down if in doubt. Great color, great cut, not my favorite for photos sitting down since it rides up but great for any other scenario.

Not wearing this because it does NOT go with pale skin!
Fits pretty true to size or slightly large; definitely not for you if you aren't tan!
