Lovely, tight in ribcage
Size up, but once you do: so beautiful and flattering! Would have made the straps a little thicker if I had my way for support and balance of the silhouette, but still a very pretty dress.

Gorgeous pattern, weird draping on chest
It’s hard to see in my photo, but as beautiful as this fabric was (and a great cut for an hourglass), there was an odd excess of fabric around the neck/arms that didn’t work for me.

So much more fun that the pictures would suggest.
I usually don't like shift-type dresses because I find I look much bigger without a defined waist. But hourglass girls, try this dress! Maybe due to the side cuts, it did not look like a blob, and really flattered my shape. I have rented hundreds of times and this was in my bfs top 10 he said. The color is so rich in person, and there is a way to style this dress to embrace the 90s trend of right now without being so literal about it. The fabric is kind of like jersey, but not clingy. No spanx needed.

Created great cleavage even for my 34 Bs!
I probably would not recommend this for shorter girls. since the culottes type cut might not be flattering at the ankle. Just below the knees, it looked very fresh. I'm not one for all black, especially in the summer, but this cut is so unique and the fabric so floaty that it worked! I'm between a 4 and 6, with the 6 usually being warranted for things tight on the rear end (which this is not) but I'm still glad I got the 6 because it was a little snug at the waist and above.

Beautiful colors, perfect fit
I was actually able to wear a strapless bra with this dress by wrapping the top portion around my bra in the front to secure it. (That will make sense when you have the dress) At 5'9", I could have worn low wedges but I stuck with flats. Endless compliments! I don't typically do pastels, but these really popped. Recommended for lots of body types, but if you have large breasts or a wide rib cage, size up!

Great color, not scandalously short which is rare for a romper
I found it ran a little big. I'm usually a solid 6 and I probably would have been better off with a 4. It was nice that there was a longer inseam than you usually find on rompers. Pretty color and nice material.

Way too big in the bust
I saw the only review at the time said the girl wore a 4 and she was usually a 0, describing the dress as running very small. I disagree. Since I am usually a 6 (sometimes 4), I got the 8 and it was comically large in the bust. (I'm 34B and while I don't have big boobs, I usually don't struggle to fill out the top of a dress.) I would order true to size or maybe a size down unless you are a large C+. I would have been a 6 in the bottom half and a 2-4 on top in this dress. It's a shame because the dress is gorgeous- the print has to be seen in person to be believed. The shape is best for a tall hourglass due to the longer hemline and overall cut.

Beautiful color, the drop waist just isn't for me
It fit true to size, even accommodating my booty. I didn't wear it- it was perfectly cute and a pretty color, but when the weekend passed and no occasion arose for it, I figured I would return it and get something more flattering of an hourglass figure (via Unlimited). The color is beautiful but probably requires a tan if you are on the paler side in January like me. Fine for tall ladies because it looks fine at the ankle.

I love when I'm the first person to rent something! And have to take off the tags.
Fits true to size except if you have a booty. It was a struggle taking anything but the smallest steps. Also you have to not be annoyed by tight necklines- it felt a little choke-y at times. But it was so gorgeous and so chic that I had to give it 5 stars!

Great rich color (although a little more orange than I expected) but just too short- the wide legs looked ridiculous at two inches off the ground (even with flats)

My favorite rental ever (out of 50+)
I sized up because I'm tall and the M was perfect. It is gorgeous- light, bright and flattering. Very short and potentially very low, but loose and pretty enough to avoid being too risqué

Only one issue- you will have to see your bra through the laser cutouts if you wear one, and you could see my nipples when I didn't. But you couldn't see the bra in pictures, and I loved the top. Great w a tan!

Uncomfortable in the bust
I wanted this to fit very relaxed like a maxi for an outdoor concert. It was beautiful, but far too formal and stiff for that. Very flattering on a smallish bust but very uncomfortable, maybe too tight.

The cutouts hit at a weird spot.
It wasn't unflattering, per se, but just didn't look right. Also the fabric was much stiffer than the pic makes it seem. I sent it back right away. Maybe a more petite frame would work.

Sent right back- not flattering
The dress is pretty stiff. The 4 was definitely the right size- the problem wasn't that it was too big or too small, but rather that the stiffness of the skirt made it too poofy on the bottom and too boxy (with gaps on the sides) on the top. It's a lovely color and shape, though.

Different, chic, and very flattering on tall women
The 4L fit me perfectly, even though I can have a bit of a booty so I was worried about fit there. I recommend this for tall people, because the silhoette could be different to pull off in white if you are on the shorter side, and the leg length seemed suited for height. I wore this to dinner with my bf, and actually went to the bathroom and took off my bra mid-dinner because it became too tight on the chest when I was sitting (even though it fit great with a normal strapless bra when I was standing). It had plenty of support sans bra, though.

Cute neckline and fun swirly skirt!
I am either a 4 or 6, but usually a 6 in this brand, and this dress was no different. The high neckline was beautiful, but it tugged at my neck a bit which could get annoying. The A-line skirt is fun, and means you can exhale/drink beer and not be as worried as you might be in most E&J dresses. Overall very cute. I just wish they had this dress in bright colors, since the shape is so fun but the color here more sophisticated.

I got called Cinderella like 10 times that night, which was funny and kind of sweet.
It was a lovely spring color, and the perfect length (in the Long) for me (5'9"). There was a bit more cleavage than I expected, especially when I was sitting down.. It was almost a bit too much for the event I was at, but it looked beautiful when I was standing. It arrived a little wrinkly, and I couldn't get them fully out at the bottom, so you might want to have it steamed. I would say embrace the Cinderella theme (especially if you are blonde) and just have fun with the costuming of it.

I didn't wear but I am in love- just too short!
This fit me perfectly, except for the length. I was obsessed with it- laid perfectly, looked expensive, no need for a bra even. And I'm not sure everyone my height couldn't do it, but because most of my height is in my legs, it looked dumb being a couple inches too short at the ankle. If I were 5'7", I would have never taken this off. Also, the 6 was great but I think a 4 would also have been great for someone my size.

Fun and Summery!
It fits a little snugger around the hips/booty than I would have expected, but in a good way because it was more sexy than expected. Even the long was a little shorter than would be ideal, but because of the slit was no problem. The neckline is gorgeous.

Not the best for hourglass figures
It was very beautiful, but it did not work for me. I sent it right back. I am 5'9", and it barely covered my butt (which is admittedly not-small). It would look great on a straight up-and-down girl, even a tall one who is comfortable with a slightly short fit.

Loved this dress. It fit very true to size. Oddly, I got a ton of compliments from guys (not in a skeevy way) which I think is because the dress is just different from what you see every day.

Great color, simple cut, classic look
I wore this to a beach wedding with cognac wedges, a gold bangle and a statement necklace. It was comfortable and flattering. The length was a teeny bit short in the front (I'm 5'9") but the longer back and the overall very conservative cut made that fine. I actually liked it without the necklace as a very simple, chic look, but ended up going with a necklace for a little more pizazz. This dress would also work for pear shapes- lots of room on the bottom.
