Wore this for an engagement party. Loved the colors and the basic fit but didn't like how the cap sleeves were constrictive and felt small.

Rented this dress for a summer wedding as the date of the best man and wanted something to coordinate with the wedding party colors. The colors of the dress and super vibrant in person and pop beautifully off of the satin fabric. The best feature is the pockets- you just can't go wrong with a dress that has pockets! It's fitted through the chest but flows at the waist which makes it extremely comfortable. I paired it with a RTR statement necklace and received compliments all night long. Can't wait to rent this again!

Really liked the cap sleeve and colors. Would have liked it to be about an inch longer, but that's just personal preference. I really enjoyed wearing it. 

I loved this dress -- amazing colors, beautiful material with a slight sheen, even better in person. The cap sleeves make it tight across the chest, especially if you're looking to dance with your hands over your head! It's definitely not LONG but most things aren't when you're 5'9. Material is on the thicker side so I'd consider this more of a spring dress than a dead of summer dress :)

Wore this to a wedding and I got so many compliments. It fit great and I love that it had pockets! My date didn't have to carry around my phone all night. 

True to size - fit like a glove and very comfortable. 

Been meaning to rent this for a while and I am happy I did! Rented for a wedding and it was a long day but was comfortable throughout in this dress. 

I wore this dress to my friends rehearsal dinner and it was perfect. I loved that it had pockets!  It was a little bit big in the waist but it wasn't that big of a deal. 

Loved this dress. Fit true to size, although it was a little tight in the chest (I'm a 34DD). Size 6 fit perfectly other than that, though. I thought it was flattering and cute, and got lots of compliments. Would rent this again!

This was my back up dress and thank goodness. The first dress was too small for me. I am 5'9" 165lbs. I have broad shoulders and even though this was a size up from first pick I still felt it was loose in the shoulders and waist. I would have preferred to wear an 8 in this. The dress is comfortable and breathable. It rained on the day of the wedding and I was assisted in coordinating, setting up and tearing down, cleaning and of course dancing. It got a little wrinkled at the waist but overall it held up nicely.

I rented this dress to wear for a wedding rehearsal dinner in Arizona and it was perfect! The dinner was outdoors but the fabric was breathable enough for the hot Phoenix sun. The colors were beautiful! The cap sleeves and the length (it was long on me - just above my knees) made it appropriate to wear in temple. I cinched it at the waist with a teal belt to make it a little more fitted. Overall a great rental!

I loved every second wearing this dress. It was perfect for an outdoor spring wedding in Florida. I was worried it'd be too hot because of the material, or the colors would make it too Fall/Winter, but nope! The material was perfect and the colors are so bright and vivid in person - really beautiful and modern floral-y. The cut of the dress made it covered-up enough for a wedding, and the colors/print made it perfect for a party. Danced all night and felt so special in the dress. I went with the 2 even though the top was slightly restricting because the skirt/hips on the 4 was too much on my frame. Able to wear a normal bra and no fuss trying to hem or adjust anything (like with other RTR experiences). Just easy to wear and so pretty - can't ask for much more! 

I loved the print and it was perfect for the spring baptism I attended. The fit was a little odd for me - tight across the shoulders and chest but with plenty of room around the waist. 

I Usually wear an 8 because of my bust.  I am a petit person, but am a bit overweight at the moment, so the 10 was tight around my bust and my arms had limited range of motion .  The dress fit my event perfectly... I attended a political seminar's evening event at a 5 star resort.  Th3e necklace was my favorite part.

I wore this to a wine tasting event and really loved it. I think Shoshanna dresses are, in general, great for curvier/bustier girls and this was no exception. I did size up because the waist was a little tight. I'm typically an 8 but the 10 was more comfortable for an event with a lot of eating & drinking. :) Not sure why my picture is so off-center!

Comfortable and easy to dance in! My backup size wasn't available so I was nervous relying on one size to fit, but it worked out great. Thin fabric and not much stretch, but thankfully the 2 worked out for me!

The dress fit like a glove. It was pretty tight on the top, but I have a full bust. The sleeves were a little tight on the arms, but I loved it regardless. It's a must-try

I wore this to a Christmas dinner and got many compliments. Very pretty colors. I would rent again. 

I absolutely loved this dress! The colors were really vibrant and stood out and it fit perfectly, especially in length. I also liked how lightweight it was. Others complained about the cap sleeves being tight, but they didn't bother me. I would definitely recommend this dress!

The 2 fit perfectly. A very fun, yet conservative dress. Wore to a rehearsal dinner and received several compliments on it. 

I would have rather had the 6, but they were out. The 8 fit fine, but was a little lose around the middle and for me, a little long (I'm short). So I just flipped up and taped the hemline the 1 inch and it was perfect. Felt feminine and comfy. Perfect for daytime brunch, afternoon event, etc. I loved having pockets as well. Would rent again.

I really did love this dress but the fact that the cap sleeves were restricting, I have to give this dress only 3 stars. I wore this dress to a rehersal dinner and could not even move my arms forward to reach the bread basket in the middle of the table. I would have been upset if I rented this for a wedding because I would not have been able to move my arms around on the dance floor. 

Loved it! Only thing is the slip part of the bottom is a little tight on the hips. You can't tell from the outside but it's a little uncomfortable. But I got compliments all night! 

I don't think I got a great picture in this dress. Probably too busy dancing...which was doable because the dress was so comfortable. Only complaint is that it rides up on your legs and poofs out in the tummy region while sitting.

Overall fit was great but the sleeves ran a little tight. If the backup size up was available it would have been too big so I'd recommend your normal size and a size down for the backup. I wore this for a friends wedding and looked great and had a lot of compliments. I'm also a sucker for hidden pockets so those were a nice surprise!

I loved this dress! The color was great, it fit great, was very comfortable, and I got so many compliments on it! So sad to send it back! Will definitely be renting this one again.

I was only given the 4 because  the 2 was no longer available. It was a little big, but the 4 fit great. I was comfortable all night. The length was perfect. I would highly recommend this dress!

It was a little loose on me but I added the belt and it looked perfect.  I was worried about the little sleeves because my arms are more muscular than most but the sleeves fit great.

I absolutely adore this dress! I was worried the 12 might be to tight/short, but it was a great fit. The top was kind of loose even, so I could have probably sized down. I am typically a 10/12, but I have a larger bust, and athletic thighs. I got so many compliments on this dress, and it wasn't too heavy of a material, which is great for a fall Texas wedding (90 degrees in late October!)... but this dress could easily be worn in cooler temperatures with some tights. To compliment this dress, I wore Kendra Scott Skylar earrings in slate. This dress was classy & comfortable! I would highly recommend. I plan to rent again & if I could purchase I definitely would!

Size 2 fit me perfectly and I'm usually between a 2 and 4. It for well even in the sleeves and looked great with tights and a blazer keeping me warm during a boat wedding. 

This dress was a perfect fall wedding guest dress! I would it to be very comfortable and easy to dance in. The fabric is excellent and the pattern is fun, but classy. I received lots of compliments. While the 2 looked a bit better on and fit better in the waist and hips, I went with the 4 for comfort as I am larger in the chest area. I would definitely rent this dress again - another win for RTR!

I thought this ran a little small through the hips. The 6 was too tight to lay smoothly but the 8 was very comfortable. I would definitely rent this again!

This is a great dress!  I felt super comfortable yet classy and elegant in this dress.  I would definitely recommend it.

This dress is really cute and comfortable. I found the arm holes cut a little funny and think it helps to size down for this dress so it fits nicer. The print is really vibrant and lovely in person. Because I couldn't size down, I ended up using a backup dress for my event, but this would be lovely to rent another time.

Overall great dress!! The sleeves can get a bit snug.

This was my backup dress so I only got it in one size. I ordered the 10 to be cautious but I easily could have worn an 8. Very comfy and flattering! Worn to rehearsal dinner. 

This dress was perfect for a wedding at the aquarium. It fit perfectly and was so comfortable. I only wore studs and a bracelet because there was a lot going on with the dress. I would recommend this dress to anyone. 

This was my back up dress so I didn't actually wear it, but I was SO tempted. This is the first time I have rented two dresses and loved them both equally. It was such a hard choice. This dress fit me absolutely perfectly and was so flattering. Wish I could have worn it. I'm definitely going to rent it again for something in the future.

Loved everything about it, very comfortable and light. Thought the cap sleeves would prevent me from lifting my arms but they lifted just fine!! Very flattering, I have trouble sometimes with dresses being too tight around my bust and booty and then too big in the waist, but this dress fit well everywhere! Oh and it has POCKETS!!!
