Amazing color and details!
This dress fit miraculously! I loved the color and it would be fantastic for a Christmas party! Such an amazing alternative to the "red" holiday dress. While it's August and no where near December I still loved this dress. I has such a unique color and the lace was flawless. I know Shosanna makes this one in several colors but I really like this one the best!

I love the detail in this dress, it's color and fit!
This dress is far brighter in person than it appears. The cut and fit is very much like every other Shoshana dress I've rented so I was very pleased with the way it flattered my body. The back detail is adorable and this would be perfect for a wedding... maybe even a bridesmaid dress!

Gorgeous color and details!
The reviews for this dress didn't really explain that you REALLY need to go up a size in it due to the tight fit of the waist and hips and the non-stretch fabric. It was too small for me but I really love this dress and may order it again in a larger size!

Gorgeous color and details, plus... POCKETS!
I love this dress. With that said, there are BIG issues for small chested ladies with small shoulders. The top is too big! There's too much fabric in the bust area although I highly doubt anyone with larger breasts (than my 34B's) would actually fit this size dress. Also the shoulder straps are loose and wide, so anyone with slim shoulders may have issues keeping them up. The color, waist fit, length, details, low back and pockets are amazing! However, I wouldn't want to wear this dress anywhere I'd be dancing or moving around a lot for fear I'd just be too uncomfortable or have a major wardrobe malfunction!

This has the cutest skirt ever and is a GREAT color!
Okay... first, let me say I LOVE this dress! I was worried about the little slits in the shoulders showing my bra straps but they are TEENY and not very noticeable. Now... prepare yourself for this one to run a bit small. I felt like my arms were two sausages in the sleeves... but they did stretch out and get comfy within about ten minutes. Also, GET SPANX! Even if you have the smallest of tummies a slimming undergarment will make you feel a bit more sleek. You could also wear a slim belt at your natural waist since this has no upper waistline (only the drop waist above the flirty skirt!). If I could do this again (and I might) I would probably order a 6 not a 4 just so I didn't feel like I was tugging on this dress ever few minutes to get it to fit right over my hips. Still, Elizabeth and James continues to be one of my all time favorite brands and this dress (even though its a little snug... yeah yeah I should probably do a little more gym and less pool/wine time)... is a great one for work/parties/bachelorettes/weddings/vacay!

Love the cut and color of this sleeveless sheath.
This dress was a great fit and really felt comfortable. It was tighter in the skirt than it appeared on the model.

The fit of this dress was impeccable! I love the color and attention to detail!
This dress is by far my FAVORITE of any dress I've rented!!! When I put it on I knew it was "the one"! It fit perfectly in all the right areas and the full back zipper allowed me a little extra walking room. It hugged every curve on my naturally athletic body, the detailed waistline accentuated that area perfectly and made me feel fit and thin, while the length and sleeves were perfectly appropriate for my TV news anchoring job. My only change.... MAKE MORE COLORS!!!!!!!! Love this one!!!!!

I love this dress! It was very comfortable and I loved the pockets!!! However, the color didn't really come across as pretty as it looked in real life. Also, the red version of this dress is much more vibrant and fun!

Amazing color and great feminine details!
This dress is true to size but hugs in every single curve, so consider some Spanx if you have any trouble areas. Also, with the very low back I had to wear a special bra which wasn't all that comfortable. With all this being said, I really loved the color, cut and feel of this dress. It was a bit longer on me than on the model and I'm glad I didn't go with a Medium.

Fantastic color, cut and design. Very comfy fabric and a joy to wear.
I am loving this dress by Erin Fetherston. It is so comfy and I absolutely adore the peplum design. It makes me feel very ladylike. I will say the only CON to this dress it the lack of a back slit so walking is fairly difficult. I also think I could have gone with a 2 since peplum dresses can be a bit unflattering if they aren't tailored perfectly. Overall LOVE this one!

The color of this dress is absolutely amazing and the details are adorable!
I love this Trina Turk dress. It was so comfortable! The sleeves are see-thru so they were comfy and not too hot despite wearing it in the late spring temperatures! The color was excellent, vibrant and perfect for the season! I will say this dress ran a bit large and wasn't all that figure flattering because of the sheath design but it was so short I don't think I could have worn a 2.

Great color and details but the fit just wasn't quite right.
I loved the color of this dress, it's even more vibrant in real life. But, the fit was incredibly awkward for an athletic frame. It was very tight at the hip and waist and the side zipper made it difficult to zip. I didn't end up wearing this for work as it felt too uncomfortable.

Great color, detail and fit.
This dress was great for work and the details were amazing. It was perfectly fitted with a very thick and structured fabric. The shoulder details are actually mesh and not cutaways as I originally though, which made this even more work appropriate. I would totally rent this one again.

Great color but very short and uncomfortable.
The color was great and vibrant. However, the neckline was incredibly high and rubbed my neck and collar bone in an uncomfortable way. I'm 5'4'' and the dress was very short on me. It was also very tight at the arms and was too snug to wear. I could have gone a size up but then I doubt it would have fit correctly in the waist.

Loved this bright dress for work! I wore it on a rainy day and it made everything more cheerful.
This dress has very thin fabric, although the stretch is nice. You will most likely want to wear some form of Spanx or undergarment if you have anything BUT a super flat stomach. I loved the details on the neckline of this dress and that the sleeves were longer and not too snug. This is a short dress so if you're tall keep that in mind. Overall a nice dress, but I'm not sure I'd rent it for anything else since the shapewear/thin fabric shows every single bump even from a bra strap!

I rented a purple ML dress in this exact same style and it was perfect for work! This one was too!
This ML dress is very pretty, has pockets and fabulous details. This is a very pale peach and ivory dress. The lace is very pretty and has a flower detail. This would be a fantastic Easter or wedding dress. I paired it with cowboy boots (as you can see) for a more relaxed feel on camera. As for the fit, this one is comfy. I wore a 4 in the purple version of this ML dress a few weeks ago and it was a bit tighter (maybe it had been cleaner more often and shrunk a bit). It's not too short either and the pockets mean you can carry along a phone or whatever else you need.

The color of this dress popped on TV and the details were amazing!
The material is thick with a slick stretch. I loved that the sleeves were a bit longer and not tight at all. You WILL need Spanx with this one (unless you're graced with absolutely no belly). I loved that the hem had a slight hi-low feature, however I had issues keeping the front of the hem from flipping up (you can see it in the full length picture). Overall, I felt like a total hottie in this outfit and got a TON of compliments. I would 100% rent this one again or even buy it!!

Amazing fabric and love the sleeve detail, it's a bit long!
I rented this for work and LOVED it. The fabric was sleek and flattering. The sleeve detail was unique and like nothing I'd ever worn before. This was a little long on my 5'4 frame but I think it was still fine. The color popped on air and made me feel very pretty. If I wore this out on the town I'd pair it with a bright necklace in a contrasting hue (maybe blue or purple). Overall a fantastic dress! Will certainly rent this again.

Amazing color, great fabric and interesting keyhole neckline detail. (also pockets!)
I'm a news anchor and rented this for work because the color is amazing. Also, because it is the same color as our weather green screen and I knew it would be a blast to play around on it! This dress was long enough for work, has pockets, is thick enough to not be revealing and feels very expensive when you're wearing it. The color is amazing for spring and I loved the "pop" it gave on set. I will rent this one again and again!

Great color, thick fabric, fun flirty skirt.
I rented this for work and it was amazing! The sleeves were a little tight but it also stretched a bit with wear and felt very comfy. The skirt was long enough to conceal my microphone and battery packs (I'm a news anchor) and I loved the pockets. Got a ton of compliments on this dress and my only issue is that the fabric was very thick which made it a little warm under the lights on set. Will rent this again in other colors.

Interesting color, thick fabric, longer than you'd imagine.
I rented this for a Mexico trip that was cancelled so I couldn't wear it. I would say I may not have worn it anyway because it was very long. I'm 5'4 and I don't think this dress was very flattering on my short frame even with sky high heels. Also, it didn't quite fit on the sides where I'd like it (more on my lower obliques and not the top of my rib cage which would have been more flattering). I won't be renting this again unless God grants me a growth spurt (at 28 I doubt that happens).

Fabulous print and amazing neckline, fabric is very thin.
I rented this for a Mexico trip that was cancelled so I didn't get the chance to wear it. I will say this fabric is VERY thin so you'll need slimming undergarments. The colors are amazing, the fit is flattering and this would have been an awesome dress to dance the night away. I will rent this again for vacation or in the summer.

Fun and flirty dress, great color and neckline, fabric was thick enough to not be too revealing.
I rented this for a Mexico vacation that was cancelled so I didn't get to wear it :( but it was a gorgeous dress. I would almost mark this as "runs small" just because the bust area was a little snug even though I have a small chest. This would have been perfect to dance the night away on a tropical beach or in the summer. Will rent this again once it warms up!

Strange texture, very tight, I usually wear a 2.
This dress was something I thought I'd love since peplum is my FAVORITE. BUT- this was a very tight dress (even though I went up a size) and the fabric was thick and textured (you don't see it very well in the pictures). I got it for work, I'm a news anchor, but ultimately determined it was too uncomfortable to anchor in for 5 hours. All in all this is a nice dress but you need to go at least a size up maybe 2 sizes up to be comfy if you have an athletic frame. The sleeve area was very restricting and I have a very small bust and average sized arms/shoulders. I didn't end up wearing this dress so there are no pictures.

Great color, interesting hue (not quite yellow a bit more green), love the waist & neckline.
This fabric is flattering as is the cut of this dress. It has just enough stretch and the hem is very "bouncy" and fun. I love the back (which has a unique cut) and the neckline is sexy but doesn't show too much. I'm a news anchor and this color popped on TV and was also long enough (okay just barely) to be work appropriate. The A-line skirt was even "big" enough to hide my mic and battery packs! Wear beige heels and your legs will look a mile long! May want to wear spanks if you have a bit of a belly (I forgot mine but still felt comfortable). My only wish is that I'd worn jewelry with a "pop" of color. All in all this one is great for work & would be excellent for going out!

Great color, interesting fabric, amazing neckline.
I'm a news anchor and was hoping this would be work appropriate. It would have been had it been a little longer. I may have been okay with a medium but I'm not sure how the fit would have worked. With this said, this is an amazing "going out" dress but you will need a racerback bra and some spanks if you have ANY tiny bit of a tummy. Since I didn't actually wear this anywhere there are no pictures.
