I was a little worried based on the other reviews regarding the size. I'm normally between a 0 and 2 (depending on brand) but almost ordered a 2 and 4 based on the reviews - I'm glad I didn't because the 0 fit perfectly. The dress was a great length on me, hitting a few inches above the knee, and the V-neck isn't quite as deep as the picture makes it seem. The fabric was comfortable and I'd definitely recommend this dress!

Pros: Great fall color and fun dress! Not too revealing. 

Cons: The bodice is tighter than expected - I thought there would be a bit more flair. Which makes it zoom in on your lower belly if you have one (which I do haha) If you up the size the dress becomes longer not wider. Also - the stitching can be weird on this dress. The lines on the skirt are made out of tiny stitches - the size 8 looked gross and sloppy while the size 6 looked fine. So it all depends on which dress you receive I guess. 

Elizabeth James is a constant go-to for me. I love the way this dress fit. I usually struggle with dress length being on the shorter side, but the length on this one was perfect! Loved the color too. Even better in person.

Loved the dress so much I bought it myself (found it on clearance online!!) still love it, fits very well and true to size

This was a replacement dress for my college graduation and I am SO pleased with how lucky I was ! This dress was form fitting, flattering, and I was obsessed I didn't want to send it back. It was a little snug putting in on, but once it zipped, it was gorgeous. It made me feel so confident and I felt like a million dollars. 10/10 recommendation on this dress

The dress fits great! I wanted something different but my original order was delayed. RTR sent me this because there wasn't a lot in my favorites available in my size at the time. Fits great, low neck is low but not as low as on the model. Would rent this again but for a more casual event. 

Very forgiving - a nice stretch to the fabric which was great. The "V" in the neckline was not too deep and I loved the simple look.

I sized down for this dress and it fit perfectly, it was a little snug in the chest. Also, it's not nearly as low-cut as it looks!

It fit great and was perfect for what I wanted. I wore it with a cardigan but could have done just as well without. This was rented for a September wedding. The color and cut were perfect for what I wanted. Material is thick and the dress seemed good quality and well made.

would recommend this dress for other women with small busts.  As a pear shape, I found this fit to be really comfortable - the fitted top and the flowy skirt made for a fun dress for dancing at a wedding

Classy, tasteful color. Very slimming cut and seam lines. Not too low cut for work. Not meant for super busty women - perfectly snug around upper rib cage. Length on me was perfect - not too conservative but still very appropriate for a nice event or work. I'm normally in between a 0 and a 2 but ordered 2 based on reviews and it was perfect. Would  rent again or consider buying 

I wore this to a family wedding and it did not disappoint. Both the 8 and 10 fit, but the 8 was more snug and showed off my curves so I went with that size. It wasn't super short (fell at just above the knee), which I prefer, and it showed the perfect amount of cleavage (not too much and not too little). I would buy this dress in a heartbeat.

The dress is not nearly as low cut as it looks in the model photos. It was a little more fitted just below the waist than I expected, but it still fit really well. I'm 5'7" and it came to my knee, which I was really happy about. A lot of dresses that look knee length end up too short on me, so it was a big plus for me.

I love this designer but I felt that the style didn't seem very flattering on me. I usually wear a 2 to 4 and in this designer I always wear a four (This is a size 4 and it fit fine). It's a beautiful color, and a really nice fabric.

I rented this for my cousin's wedding and it was perfect! It was body hugging, but not too tight. The color was awesome too (the photo is a little dark), but I got tons of compliments on it. It was very easy to dance and move it as well. The 10 wasn't much different from the 8, but I wore the 8 because it fit a little better. Size wise though, it was fairly true.

The dress was perfect for a work christmas party! The fit was very flattering and so comfortable! My backup size was the 6, which also fit but with a little more room up top. I wish I had this in my closet! I would definitely rent this again. 

Loved this dress! Color was beautiful; runs a smidge large, I could have worn a size down. Was a little longer than I thought it would be. But overall, beautiful dress for a cocktail night or wedding event.
