Dress fits your curves just right. Only in the chest area did it fit slightly snug but I do wear a 34D and did not end up wearing a bra. I felt sexy in this dress! I danced all night in it. I would wear it again! 

I am 5'1" and 100lbs so finding dresses that fit well can be a little tricky. This dress was definitely longer on me than on the model, but it worked out beautifully! One of the best things about this dress is the material. It was thick and stretchy which made me feel comfortable and confident. I would recommend this to anyone!

Wore this for my birthday night out , received so many compliments! Just a note, it does wrinkle a bit towards the end of the evening if you've been seated for a while.

Comfortable, great color and the quality you'd expect from Elizabethans & James. I'd recommend going up one size (her dresses definitely run small). Wore this for a bachelorette party and it was fun and flirty

The cut outs add just the right amount of subtle sexiness to a very flattering dress. Perfect for a summer partg

Usually true to size I'm a 2...the 4 fit just right! Regular strapless bra worked just fine!

Very tight but totally worth it! Looks great...but you have to take the whole thing off the pee !

Very, very tight. I sized up to an 8, when I usually where a 4 or 6. That aside, it fit really well in the 8. Great color - better than the photo on RTR. The cut outs are in just the right places. Got tons of compliments! 

Great fit. Super comfortable. Tons of compliments. Not too much skin. Wouldn't wear to a formal event. Wore this to a semi formal fun work/networking event. Tons of compliments. Good, thick material. Well made. Tight around legs but just enough give.

Dress fits true-to-size but is not forgiving. Works well with a standard strapless bra. Color is definitely more neon in person than in the model photo. Great length for tall girls and very flattering cut-outs which draw the eye inward toward your waist. Didn't wear a necklace, paired it with earrings and bangles. Would rent again!

It was a bit snug and I think a larger size would have been a bit more comfortable but it was a sexy dress for a night of dancing with the ladies.  I would rent the dress or designer again and perhaps get a larger size. 

fit was perfect 
dress was very fitted
perfect for wedding

To say I loved this dress is a drastic understatement!  I ordered a 2 and a 4 but the 4 ended up not available to ship; but luckily the 2 fit perfectly (I didn't even have to worry about a bra).  It is a little snug on the butt/legs but the dress is thick enough to still look classy.  I wore it to a wedding and got so many compliments on the dress.  I wanted to keep it!

I think the sizing runs a little small (I'd go up one size), but it was the perfect length for me (5'9"). Overall, the dress was gorgeous and I wish I could have kept it! The cutouts on the side were very cute and the color was rich and bright; this dress is a great "sexy" dress without being "hoochie". 

I rented this dress for a summer wedding. The color is beautiful. My husband loved it and wanted me to wear the 0 but it was so tight I wouldn't have been able to dance as much, so I went with the 2. I wish there was a size in between, because the 2 wasn't as form fitting as I would have liked. I received so many compliments! 

I had planned to wear this dress in a size 2 but it became unavailable before it shipped. RTR customer service was really helpful (as always) with getting me a replacement. Elizabeth and James tends to run small so I was able to make the 4 work. I wore this to my bachelorette party and it was a standout dress! The color is neon and bright, the fit is tight and the cutouts showed just enough skin. I received compliments all night!

The fit was like a glove perfect in bust even though I'm a little bigger. Makes your butt look rockin!!! Perfect birthday dress! 

Elizabeth and James runs very small, I typically wear a size 6 and the 8 fit me like a glove. The cutouts are very tasteful and the dress was gorgeous! I had so many compliments on it throughout the night! 

I usually don't wear color, but this dress was perfect for a summer wedding, it's basically a neon coral.  Like everyone else mentioned, it's tight, from top to bottom and made of a thicker material with not as much stretch as I would've liked.  The slit up the back and the cutouts rule out spanx, but the bust area was tight enough I didn't need to worry about bra at all.  I got HEAPS of compliments and felt great in it! Great combo of sexy and sassy!

This dress is fitted and flattering.  Because it's so fitted, it may be difficult to dance/walk with the fabric around the knee.  I'm 5'1 and put a temporary hem in so it fell knee length instead. The cut is perfect. Highly recommend! 

The dress was absolutely amazing.  Unfortunately the only downfall fell on RTR.  The dress showed up with a 2 big watermark stains.  There was no replacements available and VERY few options to replace the dress-  the customer service was also a bit of a let down (which is surprising because I have heard such great things about RTR CS from my sister). I ended up just wearing it and using my purse to cover the stain during the wedding- when it got dark no one could see it anyway. The color was a bit brighter than the picture shows- but awesome!  You must be comfortable with your bod- it is tight! I got compliments all night.  Would love to rent again- this time i hope it's not a ruined dress!

So beautiful. The cut outs, the fit... Wish it came in more colors. 

The material was so comfortable. Perfect dress for my bachelorette party!

I have rented many dresses, and while they have been all great, this one I wished I could keep! I'm usually a 6, but it was not available so I went with the size 8. The fabric has very little stretch and the skirt is very form fitting. Going up stairs and sitting was a challenge at times. But all worth it!! The dress color is a gorgeous coral.  Would definitely recommend.  

I wore the size 4, but the size 2 also fit. It was just a little too tight to be comfortable walking around and dancing all night. Received a ton of compliments on the color and cut of this dress...100% would rent again and again. Absolutely loved it!

Fit is very slim all the way down. Very conservative length if you're short I am 5'4" and it went to just above my knees (also tight there!) which made it pretty hard to get in and out of the car. Only annoying part was as you walk, the dress will ride up slightly, closing the open gaps on the side. Otherwise, a wonderful color! Not too bright. Wore to an August wedding and was perfectly conservative but summery! 

I rented this dress for a July wedding and it couldn't have been more perfect! The color is definitely much brighter than it appears on the model but it was absolutely stunning for a summer wedding. Just a word of caution like most other ladies have said, this dress runs very small so definitely make sure you size up! I am always a size 0 in dresses but followed the advice of previous renters and ordered a 2 and 4 to be on the safe side. The size 4 was large on me where the cutouts were but the size 2 fit like a glove! It is super tight around the legs but I was still able to walk and dance comfortable all night without any issues. I had people stopping me all night telling me how much they loved my dress! It was just the right amount of sexy so ladies, if you're looking for a show stopping dress, this is it! I seriously may never own another dress again!

This dress is tight so size up! I have a large chest and have trouble finding dresses to fit correctly but this was no trouble. It was a little tight but otherwise great. I'm also short and the length was just right! Love rent the runway! 

Rented this dress for a bachelorette party in Cabo and it was awesome!  Perfect girls night out dress - fun and sexy, and comfortable.  The 0 was a bit tight so to feel more comfortable I went with the 2.  It was a tad hard to walk up stairs the slit in the back doesn't give much but it gave everyone a good chuckle as I lagged behind!

This dress was perfect! It fit a little snug through the legs but I was able to dance the night away nonetheless. I wish I could keep it!

This dress is gorgeous but I wound up wearing a different one because the back of this dress with the exposed Zipper just wasn't right for the event, I would rent again for a different occasion. Perfect party dress

This dress was so much fun to wear.  I was a little worried since most of the reviews said the dress runs small and a size up wasn't available so I risked it.  Thankfully it fit just right, it was a tad bit snug at the beginning of the night but after a little dancing it was just fine.  The color was wonderful and the length was very appropriate while still being a flirty dress to wear.

I thought I was going to have to go with a different style because my usual size, 2, was unavailable so I opted for the 0. I heard this dress runs small so didn't figure it would fit me. Although it was snug, I think the 2 would actually have been too big because the 0 looked amazing. I felt incredible and comfortable wearing this and would totally rent it again! 

The dress was a beautiful color. The cut and cutouts were very flattering. The material was very high quality and thick without being hot. The dress was tight, but had plenty of stretch and held its shape all day and evening. I received so many compliments. 
The only down side was trying to make sure the bottom of my bra didn't show at the top of the cutouts. I just checked it when I went to the bathroom and had the hubby keep an eye out for me. No mishaps! 
Overall, amazing experience and great dress! 

I usually wear a 4 or 6 and went with the 6, which was still pretty snug, but the stretchy material is very flattering. The great thing about this dress is that you can wear a strapless bra with it without worrying about it showing. The color is even brighter/more neon in person! Zero complaints about this dress!

Rented this for a wedding and was getting really worried about how it would look when it came. I was worried the color would be to much and the cut would be more Vegas than wedding.  I'm only 5'0 and 118 lbs but curvy, the dress was stunning on very chic! I ordered the 2 and 4 and went with the 4 to fit my chest. 

The color was beautiful, the fit was perfect, I received so many compliments on this beautiful dress. #summerwedding 

I was sad that I wasn't able to wear the size 2 and they didn't send me the size 4 back-up due to damage from the previous renter.   I'll rent it again and size up next time 

Such a pretty color for a summer affair, it is a hot pink without being juvenile.  Was nervous about the size as reviews said it ran small but it seemed ok for me, and I didn't have issues dancing in it.  A very fun dress!

Tight, but not uncomfortable. Color definitely stands out. Only downside was my strapless bra started showing towards the end of the night (as you can tell from the pic) but that was my fault as I should've chose another bra to wear underneath. Overall really liked it and would recommend!
