It is proved here that if $f : {\rm C\!\!\!I} \rightarrow \bar{{\rm C\!\!\!I}}$ is an elliptic function and $q$ is the maximal multiplicity of all poles of $f$, then the Hausdorff dimension of the Julia set of $f$ is greater than $2q/(q+1)$, and the Hausdorff dimension of the set of points that escape to infinity is less than or equal to $2q/(q+1)$. In particular, the area of this latter set is equal to 0.
