Great stretch for pregnancy
I wore this dress to a bridal shower when I was almost 15 weeks pregnant. It had the perfect amount of stretch. Highly recommend for maternity wear that's still really pretty!

Most beautiful dress I have ever worn
This is my favorite RTR dress I have ever rented! I wore this to a wedding in San Diego. I actually changed into it from a different dress at the ceremony. It was very fitting for the event. I received a TON of compliments. It was perfect for my frame and with 3 inch heels the bottom just grazed the floor and I wasn't tripping. It is stunning and I wish I could keep it! I wore it with the Tory Burch Sand Kira Envelope Clutch and Slate and Willow Deco Earrings.

Really pretty but with it had more room inside
Great for a wedding I just wish it had more room inside because it was pretty thin and hard to get much more then my phone in.

Beautiful dress, a little too long
This dress is beautiful! I wore it to a San Diego wedding where I read. It was very church appropriate. I received many compliments and felt like I was walking on a cloud. It was a little long though and I was very nervous about tripping. Other than that, it was perfect!

Didn't wear but it's beautiful

Very nice and versatile dress
I wore this dress out on a date to the theater with my husband and a baby shower. I love when I get to wear a rental to more than one event! I rented this dress for these events specifically, but it was not my number one choice. Most of the dresses I wanted were not available. This dress was very appropriate for the events and for the weather. It is also a great work dress that can easily go from day to night. The dress is definitely more purple than it looks in pictures. I received some compliments, but definitely not the amount I usually get for a rental. It was fine.

These earrings were stunning. I wore them to a wedding and they were a great pop and made my outfit more formal. They were not heavy and would go with anything! You should definitely rent these earrings!

Pretty... wish I was taller
I wore this to a wedding. I am 5'4". I am a 0 in the waist and 2 in the hips do I definitely looked curved in it. It was hard to walk fast because of the way the slit hit on my short frame. It was very pretty and I got lots of compliments.

Very pretty... hard to put on
I wore this dress to a rehearsal dinner and a baby shower. It's very pretty. I received soooo many compliments on it - more than any other dress. It was very hard to get on, get the straps all fixed right, and have the front of the dress even and centered. My husband wasn't home so I had to run to a friend's house to have her strap me in because I couldn't do it by myself. I liked the dress but I feel like others liked it more.

This dress is very cute, but it just didn't work for me. I am 5'4", 110 lbs., with a small chest. The XS was huge on me. My husband said I looked like a little girl playing in her mom's dress. Not good for petites!

Wore to a Southern wedding and received multiple compliments!
I wore this to a wedding in Asheville, NC Memorial Day Weekend. I received so many compliments on this dress, it was one of my faves! As others have said, it is way brighter in person. Almost highlighter bright, but still pretty. It runs true to size and hit me mid-thigh. The open back and bow were my favorite part. I had my hair styled up so the back would show. Highly recommended!

I wish it fit
I rented this for vacation. It was pretty big. I would say I'm a true zero in my chest and midriff but a size two in the hips. This was very large in the top and slightly big but doable in the hips. It wasn't as nice in terms of fabric as I was expecting but I was still bummed I couldn't wear it. When renting size down!

Beautiful dress, just wish it was thicker
I rented this as my backup for a rehearsal dinner and loved it so much I decided to wear it. I kept my coat on in the church, as it is definitely a little too sexy for rehearsing the ceremony, but it was great for dinner. The color was perfect for fall. I agree with what all the other reviewers are saying... it should be thicker. Every single line can be seen so undergarments will need to be picked out very purposefully. I was annoyed though with the hanger straps. Since this is a rented dress, I couldn't cut them, but the lines from those straps can be seen and bunch up so matter how many times your straighten them out.

Different type of little black dress
This is a fun twist on the LBD. When I put it on I thought the ruffles were waaaay too much, but when I looked at pictures it looked nice and fashionable, not too much. It was perfect for a bachelorette.

Very tight!
I've worn lots of Elizabeth and James dresses so I know they run small but this one in particular was very tight! It appeared stiffer than other dresses (at least that's what I'm telling myself) but still it was gorgeous. The dress has more of a blue tint to it in person. I put it on hours ahead of time to stretch it out. My husband was obviously a huge fan of it and I still received so many compliments! After wearing it around a while it was a lot easier to walk and dance in. I paired it with a silver necklace and bling earrings and nude peep toe shoes.

Very pretty, but very short
I rented this dress for a baptism. It is a very beautiful dress. The colors are amazing and the lace is gorgeous. Like a lot of other renters, I found this dress to be short. Like really short. I was going to wear the 2 for extra length but I did not see a difference so I wore my usual size. I received a lot of compliments on the dress and I think the high neck made it feel more appropriate for the occasion but I was still very aware of the length. I also found the bottom half of the dress be see through, so be mindful of what undergarments you will wear. Overall still very pretty but I would have liked it a little longer.

Second time renting!
This is the second time I rented these earrings. Honestly, I forgot I had rented them before. When I went to select "write your review" a review was already written. The first time I rented these earrings there was an issue with my dress so the earrings did not work great with the dress I ended up wearing. These earrings were PERFECT for the dress I rented this time. I wore the Kate Spade Bow Back Cupcake Dress. It was such a great dress and these earrings very much complimented the tone. They are not heavy. Although, they occasionally get caught so watch out for that, but not a deal breaker.

Beautiful dress and very warm!
I loved this dress. I wore it to a November wedding. The long sleeves were definitely needed. The dress was thick and very warm but not itchy. It was so thick I didn't even have to wear a bra which was nice since it's backless. It did ride up at times. I had so many strangers coming up and telling me how much they loved my dress. You'll love it!

Pretty dress, different fit
I wore this dress to a late September wedding. I was hoping it would be warmer, but fall had arrived in Philadelphia. The dress was fun to dance in as it twirled. The fit was a little weird though. The size 0 fit better up top but was very short on me. The size 2 was loose up top and puckered but gave me the length I needed. The top was just a little awkward but was fine. I rent Elizabeth & James a lot and this dress was fine... Not my fave but not the least fave. It was just fine.

Fun dress to wear to a summer wedding!
I wore this dress to a summer wedding. The pink is a great color. Like all Elizabeth & James, it was very form fitting. In most dresses I wear a size 0 but I find these dresses run a little tight. The size 2 was perfect because it was form fitting in a flattering way and I could move and dance. It is very similar to another Elizabeth & James dress I wore last year to a wedding (subtract by one sheath) which is kind of a bummer but this dress was prettier. I recommend renting this dress if you like form fitting dresses, but size up!

Fun!
I have rented these earrings a few times. They are sparkley and not heavy. They are gold but the crystals are so bright it's not as obvious. I liked this because sometimes gold can be a little in your face. I wore it with the ML never let you go sheath and gold strappy heals. Definitely recommended!

One of my favorite rentals ever!
I wore this dress to a February wedding three days before my 30th birthday. It was perfect! The lace is a beautiful colbalt blue. It was a very appropriate length (coming to terms with my age), yet still sexy. My husband said it was his favorite of all time! It also kept me warm (enough). Fits true to size. I am 5"4/5"5 and it hit at my knee but not so long as to be matronly. Definitely recommend! I paired it with the Nicole Miller southern plantation earrings and gold strappy heels.

Loved the nautical dress for my honeymoon, but rope halter was annoying
I rented this dress for my honeymoon in Jamaica. It was a great vacation dress. The size 2 came damaged but luckily the 0 worked. I thought the nautical theme of the dress was very fitting for the location. The rope halter was bothersome to me on my collarbone and kind of gave me a rope burn, so be wary of that if you will be moving and dancing a lot.

Great color, modest and appropriate, but a tad boring
I wore this dress to my niece's baptism. It was for a cold day in Philadelphia, so the sleeves and high-neck were very much appreciated. The lace is a beautiful bright purple/berry. It was a great splash of color in the winter. The skirt puffed out slightly. I will say though, while the dress was beautiful, it was a tad matronly and boring although very appropriate for a church occasion.

Nice earrings, but nothing special.
I rented these for a Christmas party. I wanted to match my new, fabulous gold sling back heels. They worked for what I was going for and were holiday festive, yet also forgettable. Probably won't rent them again, but don't regret it. It was fine.

This dress looks great for Christmas. The long sleeves were greatly appreciated on a freezing night in Philadelphia. The color lace is beautiful. I wish the dress was more form fitting and longer. I went with the 2 for a little more length and warmth.
