Classy dress! Perfect for a formal event or wedding!
I loved this dress. The neckline and leg slit added some sass but it was mostly a classy piece. I typically wear a size 6 in pants and a 6-8 in dresses and the 8 in this fit like a glove. I am 5’ 7” and wore the regular length with a moderate heel, and the dress just brushed the ground. Perfect for a more formal wedding or event. Would recommend!

Show Stopper! -But Runs Small! Fashion tape needed!
I really loved this dress. It was unlike anything I have ever worn to a wedding but yolo. You definitely should size up. I typically wear an 6-8 comfortably and I wore a size 12 in this and it fit like a glove. I am 5’7” and wore the regular length with flats. It just barely hit the ground. As a personal preference, I don’t like when my feet show in floor length dresses. I am a size 36 C. Fashion tape was necessary to keep everything in place. Regardless, I am glad that I wore it and would recommend!

Form fitting but gorgeous!
I wore this dress as a bridesmaid in my mom's second marriage. As I have found with all Elizabeth and James' dresses, it's a very slim fit. I usually fit comfortably in a size 6 but I always know to size up with this designer. That being said- this dress is beautiful, especially for a wedding. The cut out is not too much and the fabric is high quality. This dress photographs a little lighter or darker depending on the lighting but it is a nice, navy blue. Would recommend!

Gorgeous print but runs small.
The print of this skirt was super pretty, and I loved the slit up the front. However it was a tighter fit in the waist area than I am used to for maxi skirts. I would definitely size up, but still a great rental for a more casual affair.

Gorgeous color and material!
The color of this dress is really the high point of renting it. The gold buttons also make for a great detail and the material is thick but not overwhelming. It can easily be dressed up or dressed down , but I would recommend more for a party setting as opposed to a formal event.

Beautiful color and shape!
This dress was great! The color was very vibrant and the material was top quality. The cutout in the middle and the slit in the leg area made for a unique and flattering shape. I would say to size up for this dress because the band that runs across the middle is very tight, which can cause some bulging through the cutout. Would recommend this dress!

Absolute stunner! <3
I loved this dress so much! The colors were beautiful and the fabric was so luxurious without being too heavy. It runs true to size, and the fit is mostly forgiving, except for a band that separates the two colors. It not visible under the fabric draping but it is tight. I am 5'7" and was nervous the regular length would be too short (long was not available in my size). However, I was planning all along on wearing it with flats, so the regular was just perfect in length. If I wore heels, the long probably would have been necessary for my height. Some of the reviews mention the neckline being tight. I did notice this but it was not enough for the dress to be uncomfortable. I The open back was an extra pretty detail. Would definitely recommend this dress!

Gorgeous color, cut, and material. Loved it!
This dress was beautiful. There are really no cons to mention about it. The fabric was really slimming. The cut out was the perfect size. I am on the tall side and was planning on wearing it with flats, and the regular length was fine. I think the regular length would have been ok with a small heel too. Would definitely recommend this dress!

Very unique. Pretty color!
I really liked this romper. Wore it my bestie's 30th. It was easily dressed up for a cocktail style party. The color is super pretty, and the detailing is nice. I would say it runs true to size; however, the proportions of it are a little off. The sleeves were long, but it was cut short in the leg area as most rompers usually are. The nice part about it was that it was a little switch up from the typical rented dress. Would recommend for a party atmosphere as opposed to formal or wedding.

My favorite RTR dress yet!
I loved this dress so much! The material was very high quality, which made for a very flattering fit. It was slightly tight around the thigh area which made going up steps and dancing a little challenging, but the dress is totally worth it. The cut out in the middle makes it a little sexy, but the longer length of the dress still keeps it classy and sophisticated. I paired it with the RJ Graziano "Blushing Blossom" necklace, which was the perfect accessory. Would definitely rent this again!

Gorgeous accessory!
I wore this with a black jumper for a wedding rehearsal dinner. I'm so upset I didn't take a picture with it on. It was a little heavy but worth it because it was a stunner.

Beautiful dress for a summer wedding! Tons of compliments.
I really loved this dress. The only reason I gave it 4 stars rather than 5 is just because I have liked other rentals better. I would truly give it a 4.5 if I could. The dress has a nautical feel to it, and the detailing in the middle is very pretty. It runs a little small as it barely covered my bottom, but the fit was forgiving. It could be worn with a strapless bra but is more low cut than you can see in the pictures. It needed very little accessories as it is pretty decorative on its own. Very pretty dress, would recommend it to a friend!

Stand out color!
Overall, this dress was a winner. The color was perfect for a summer wedding, and the side cutouts were subtle but sexy. This dress does run small. I typically fit comfortably in a size 8 and even size down to a 6 from time to time, but this 8 was snug on me. This dress pairs easily with a variety of shoes and accessories. The tight fit left me feeling a bit self conscious at times, which is the only reason I rated as a 4 instead of a 5. If you are totally cool with your body than this is a great rental!
