Perfect, Flattering Fit
I wore this to work twice. First as it is and then paired with a floral blouse high necklace and decent length make this dress appropriate for most occasions β especially the office. Gorgeous color and cut. I have tried Elizabeth and James dresses before and I never could fit into a Size 4, even as someone who is between 2 and 4. The only downsides are that it does wrinkle easily, especially around the waist, but it it not super noticeable. As a light dress any stains or imperfections show up very easily.

Amazing Build. Super Flattering.
I saw these pants at my local RTR store and fell in love with the cut and the vibrant color. The size they had was a little bit on the tighter side but I still went for it. I felt very high fashion my entire day at work and glad that I rented it. These pants run small: For reference, I'm usually a European size 36 and U.S. size 2 for pants , and yet would've needed a size 40 (two sizes up) for these pants.

Stunning Pattern, Unsure about Design
I love the pattern, which is why I was quick to rent this as part of my unlimited plan. I didn't realize it would be asymmetrical (which now obviously glares at me from the preview pictures) and I wasn't a big fan of the white stitching that very obviously lined the skirt (and clashed with the black in a way that looked very dated, or, err, early 2000s). The skirt fit well and looked good on me but it didn't feel strikingly flattering. I wore it once and felt pretty in it but I didn't love it enough to repeat it another day.

Don't Rent if You're Tall
This dress fits like a glove, is soft, and the perfect shade β however at 5'8'' there was no way I could wear it outside my bedroom. As soon as I lifted up my hands my lingerie would show. This would be a lovely dress if you're petite. I'm between a 2 and a 4 for dresses depending on brand, and the 2 fit perfect and even had a bit of room.

Dressed Up My Solid Color Dress
Stunning statement necklace in impeccable condition. I would highly recommend getting this for a formal occasion. (I'm now actually even debating purchasing it because I know I could easily wear this for years to come.) The caveats: I found that I could only get away with it when I wore solid colors (as pictured) and that it felt too shiny to sport for a more casual outfit.
