Cute and Fun but for a younger crowd
I ordered the 12 and 10. 12 is my usual size but this dress is for women with hips. I am straight and narrow and the hips on the 12 had me swimming in it. The 10 was tight but fit in the hips. The dress has a little give but is thick and once in the 10, I was quite comfortable. The pink is pale but well saturated. This dress does ride up when walking and especially sitting. I'm 5'7" and the hem hit me about mid-thigh which was right at the edge of too short on me. I think this dress is really for a younger crowd but I did love it.

Didn't end up wearing it
This is a substantial necklace and looked beautiful but was too much for the evening planned. A much more formal occasion would be required.

Incredibly comfortable and figure flattering. RTR never disappoints!
I loved the pattern on the website and ordered without reading the material was neoprene. The fabric feels great and hugs your body. I first thought I would wear nude hose and heels but switched up and went with jet hose and simple black suede pumps with black jacket. It worked perfectly. The pattern has so much going on so I wore a simple pendant and some bangles with large gold Ben Amun earrings. I didn't feel the need to wear a bra as the fabric is thick and firm and fully lined and with the back strap, might show. The girls had plenty of support. I'm normally a 12 but the 10 fit quite comfortably. The fabric has a lot of stretch and since the zipper is so low, you can size down. I would buy this dress if possible. Super fun and flexible, can dress up dress down easily.

Comfortable, classy and sexy! E&J dresses never disappoint
Elizabeth and James is fast becoming my go to designer. This dress, like all E&J dresses I have rented was snug in fit but the thick fabric held me in in all the right places. No spanx and no bra and no worries. The color was true to the picture. The fabric has a touch of stretch to it. I rented the 10 and the 12. I could squeeze into the 10 but I wore the 12 as it offered more comfort and as I was going to the theatre I thought sitting would be easier too. The neckline is really unique and the back open enough that my broad back and shoulders from decades of competitive swimming didn't feel constricted. I paired it with a neutral polka dot sweater due to the chill of the evening. Loved this dress!

Great fall/winter dress. Loved the color and pattern. Sexy and classy.
I received the L and M but the large had a hole in it at the hip. Luckily the M fit as the material is very forgiving. The neck was very comfortable and I didn't feel the need to fold it down. The length was great hitting just above my knee. The body con, sexy fit was offset by the conservative neck and length. The back of the dress was really unique but I actually preferred the pattern on the rest of the dress, a kind of "quilted" look. The event I went to was outdoors and it was cold enough that I had to wear my jacket the whole time so the back was kind of irrelevant. Material is thick and comfortable and I did not need to wear a bra. I wore this dress with tights and black suede shooties. I would rent again.

Just ok. Interesting color/pattern but nothing great
I rented this to go to a concert. I thought it might look kind of rocker. I wore a leather moto jacket over it to dress it down. The material is pleather and not forgiving at all. As a result the top was tight on my bust and the girls were packed in tight! No need for a bra at all. The skirt hit mid-thigh on me. While the color and pattern of the color was pretty and unique, the dress was just ok. Nothing I'd rent again.

In LOVE with this dress! Stands out without being loud.
This dress is unique, fun, and sexy. I agree with many others that the dark portion is more navy color. The shimmer is subtle and beautiful. The fit in the torso is snug but comfortable. The material is very think but stretchy. I wore a racerback bra but didn't really need one. I paired this with a red sweater, tights and black suede shooties. I loved this dress it was a hit with my husband.

In love with this dress! Sexy and sophisticated.
The length is conservative but the fit is sexy. I felt really great in it. The color is a perfect aqua-marine. I'm normally a size 12. I rented the 12 and the 10. The 10 fit better in my hips but after decades of swimming I have a broad back and the 10 would have required no eating at dinner;-) The material has some give to it and it holds you in beautifully. I went without a bra as the material is thick and the fit tight (really held the girls in place) but if you do wear a bra, a racerback is required due to the neckline. The neckline is really unique and shows off your shoulders wonderfully but I wore a neutral sweater with it as the evening was cool and I tend to try and hide my shoulders and back. I would buy this dress in a heartbeat. E&J might be my new favorite designer.

Beautiful statement piece
It's subtle but substantial at the same time. Wasn't heavy but felt solid. Really pretty. I wore it with a necklace I rented as well. It was a little tight going over my hand.

Just ok
It's much larger than I thought and in the end the strands were just a bit clunky. I wore it out and the color looked nice against the orange of my dress but I was underwhelmed.

Nice dress. Color really pops.
It has pockets! Love the pockets, makes it easy to carry my phone without a purse. The dress is really casual but the material is substantial and it's lined. No need to wear a bra with this dress but a standard bra works fine. I also rented the turquoise necklace. It was fine but a bit too much in the end. I rented the size 12 and 10. I could squeeze into the 10 but the 12 was perfectly comfortable so I went with the 12. I think it's perfect for day to night or a casual date.

Fantastic color but the drop waist was not for me
As always, RTR did it's job. Dress arrived and looked and felt brand new. I normally wear a 12 but had no problem wearing a medium in this dress. The material is super stretchy, comfortable, and fairly thick. The back is low so I opted for no bra and felt comfortable. My only modest concern was how visible my nipples were. From my vantage point, I could just make them out so you might want to use pedal covers if you go braless. I loved the color. It was really unique, a deep mango kind of color, not at all yellow. Unfortunately, I didn't like the drop waist on my body so I chose not to wear it. You can't win them all;-) If you have any pooch at all in your tummy, this dress will highlight it, so have some spanx ready.

The earrings popped and made a great statement.
I don't have pierced ears and these were really comfortable. They had good weight and movement. Loved them, looked great, wish I owned them.

Pretty dress. Form fitting and figure flattering but long enough so it felt conservative.
I am an athlete and have a very straight shape with wide shoulders and large thighs so finding a dress that flatters is tough. This dress gave me the illusion of a shape I don't normally see. I normally wear a 12 but the 10 fit quite comfortably. The material has a lot of stretch so order down, for sure. The color contrast from the waist to the bust is a very light beige-pink. Due to the mesh on top, I wore a strapless bra. The material is fairly thick but comfortable. I paired the dress with simple nude pumps and a pretty scarf for outside. I also rented the bangles and gold hoops for RTR. Loved the earrings didn't care for the bangles, felt like plastic.
