Simple stunner
I am an avid fan of Elizabeth and James, and this dress did no disappoint. I ordered the 2, because that is what I wore in the Blue Streak Dress I rented, and it fit a little looser in the rear (I have a small butt). I liked it being a little less tight, though, because it was not quite so sexy sexy. The cut and length help keep it from seeming inappropriate. The color is beautiful and it is an easy dress to feel smoking hot in! I had numerous people tell me I needed to buy it.

Stunning
This dress is great for a dressy occasion where you want to feel a little sexy. It is form fitting, so be ready for that, but the cut is not too low so it keeps it classy. I received tons of compliments. The cons are that it is a little short. I am 5'4" and if it was any shorter it would have been inappropriate. I also found it ran small. I am typically a 0 or 2 in designer dresses and this 2 was very, very snug. Maybe that is simply the way it fits, but I think I could have easily worn a medium. Also, the sequins was very scratchy and easily got caught on things. It ruined the scarf I was going to wear with it.

Best rental yet!
I was a little worried when I rented this dress that it would just be too tight and risque for me to really feel like I could pull it off. I was wrong! It is definitely snug, but it was not too short on my 5'4'' frame and the high neckline kept it from seemingly overly suggestive. The color was a bit more purple than it looks online, but still a beautiful color. I will absolutely rent it again!

Beautiful colors and design, but SUPER short
I rented this as a backup for a wedding, and ended up just wearing it out one night. It fits nicely and is striking. I loved so much about it. It is simply unreasonably short. I know other reviewers have mentioned it is short, and I was hoping since I am only 5'4" I could get away with it, but I honestly this was almost too short to wear to a bar and certainly inappropriate for a church.

Elegant and ethereal
I rented it because it is pretty online, but I wasn't quite sure how it would look. I generally prefer a straight skirt, not flared, but i ended up loving it. It was pretty short. I could have pulled off the 2, which was longer, but it wasn't as fitted in the waist and i liked how slimming the smaller size was. Frankly, I felt divine in it and the shortness was downplayed by the high neckline, so it did not feel risque. I think everyone should rent this.

Just the right amount of sexy
I loved this dress. I was a little worried it would be a little too racy for a wedding in the south, but I think it was just enough. The red color was rich and classy and the dress length was perfect for me, although a taller woman may have to be careful. I have a small chest and decided not to wear a padded bra to keep the neckline somewhat more demure. The fit was snug and somewhat unforgiving, but I think wearing spanx might have helped.

I felt like a glittering movie star!
This dress was fabulous. I wore it to a black tie wedding and got loads of compliments from complete strangers - the best kinds! However, the fit was a little awkward. It was very snug around my waist, almost uncomfortable. I got used to it eventually, and the fabric is stretchy. It was also big up top. I am a 34B and I ended up wearing an adds-2-cups bra to help me fill out the dress. It looked great though and I would highly recommend it.

Makes you want to twirl!
This was a back-up dress and I ended up just taking it out to dinner with a few friends. It is beautiful and makes you want to dance! I will definitely rent it again for an occasion. It is very heavy, though, so may not be the best for a very warm event.

Beautiful, classy dress.
I loved this dress! I wore it to my daughter's baptism and it was elegant and very feminine. I got loads of compliments. The color is actually more of a purple pink that I thought was ever prettier than the shade in the photo. I was a little worried it would be an awkward length on me because I am shorter than the model, but I it hit right below my knee. My first rental and it went great. I highly recommend this dress!
