I'm normally a size 6, and the 6 fit great for me. This dress is also perfect if you're tall, as it hits just a few inches above the knee. Definitely recommend this for anyone looking for a fun pop of color!

I wore this for a cocktail party, and I got so many compliments!

Size worn: 4

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

This was my first Rent the Runway experience, and I'm now completely hooked. I am petite and sometimes have problems finding dresses that are the right length, but this was perfect, and it fit me like a glove. I didn't even need any of the doublestick tape that RTR includes! The color of the dress is lovely, and it has a great subtle shine to it. The pockets were fabulous, and the whole dress I felt tasteful yet fun (which was ideal since my boyfriend's family was throwing the party). My only regret is not getting the necklace the model is wearing in the photo-- would have been the perfect addition!

Great dress!

Size worn: 2

Overall fit: Large

Rented for: Wedding

The fit was a little large...the 4 (my normal size) was big everywhere, but the 2 fit me great. It was a tad bit short for my 5'6" height, but didn't make me feel uncomfortable. This dress was great to wear to a 6 o'clock wedding if you pair it with some jewelry and heels. You could also dress it down easily! I would def. recommend this dress- just make sure you size down!

Overall fit: True to Size

Loved the material which transported easily to an out of town wedding, Boning the top helped make the dress secure and the snaps inside the tank straps made it easy to wear a regular bra. A great simple dress but in a great pop color that really stood out!

Pros: Fit well, runs true to size, nice color. Cons: A little short (several inches above the knee, and I'm 5'4") and low (my breasts looked smaller than they do in most dresses- granted, they're really small, but I don't like to accentuate that feature) for my liking.

my first RtR experience! I wore this for my bridal shower, and got numerous compliments. the color is darker than the picture, but still lovely. and it has pockets! I ordered a 6 & 8, and wore the 6 because the straps & bodice part fit just a little bit better. I wore a strapless bra, but it does have snaps to hold bra straps in place. the overall length was just right. the next night, I even wore it a musical, but with boots to dress it down a little. overall, a wonderful dress! highly recommended.

Great dress, but disappointed

Size worn: 10

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

I wore this dress to a birthday dinner party. I usually wear an 8 and it fit me perfectly- it's a really basic dress which is why I ordered it since it's my first rental and I was afraid of not trying it on. However, there was a huge stain on the front of the dress! I had to wear the backup size, which was ok but noticeably big on me. I called RTR and they said they would refund it, but I have yet to see that refund show up... Overall, an ok experience, but I'm not sure I'll rent again. UPDATE: RTR apologized profusely, gave me a refund, and gave me a coupon for my next order. I am more than happy and have rented twice since!

I felt like a celebrity in this dress!

Size worn: 6

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

I ordered a 4 and a 6 and wore the 6 to a wedding ceremony and reception. I'm 5'0" and this dress hit very slightly above the knee. Tried the 4 first, but didn't have someone to help zip me up and couldn't do it myself. I panicked, but when I tried on the 6, I was able to zip up and the dress fit fabulously! Not sure if I would have fit into the 4, but I have a feeling the girls would have either been too smashed down or too much on display! If you're carrying around extra pregnancy weight (like me), want to conceal your belly, or are just curvy, this dress is a great choice! I'm wearing Spanx pantyhose underneath, so that helped cinch me in a bit. In the picture, it looks like my belly is sticking out a bit, but that was actually the dress pocket popping up when I struck that pose. I paired this dress with nude pumps and sparkly jewelry. This dress is sexy and figure-flattering, but still demure and tasteful. Definitely give this one a try!

Beautiful dress and color!

Size worn: 6

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

I rented this dress for a wedding and chose sizes 6 and 8. I wore the size 6 because it was a better fit than the size 8. The size 8 was bigger in the bust area, while the size 6 was snug around the mid-section (I do have a belly though) and it was a little loose around the bust area, but wearable. The color of the dress is true to its name, teal and it has pockets. I wore black stockings with my black booties to complete the look. The only thing I would change is I would have rented a bib necklace to go with the dress. Other than that, the dress was gorgeous and I was completely satisfied with my rental and Rent the Runway. Thanks!

Gorgeous color - got compliments all night!

Size worn: 4

Overall fit: Large

Rented for: Wedding

I wore this dress for a black tie wedding in late October. Pros: Beautiful color, definitely a more vibrant green/turquoise in person. Also loved that the material was a bit thicker - appropriate for a Fall wedding. LOVED that it had pockets. Also thought the length worked well. I was afraid it would be too short but it was just the right length. Cons: Unfortunately, I ordered a size up, after reading reviews that the bust area was a bit larger. Being that I am a 34C, I ordered the 4 but it ended up being extremely baggy up top. I was almost exposing myself all night! I can't say if the 2 would have been better or not, as I didn't order it. My main concern was if it would be too short. All in all, I loved the dress and it was perfect for the occasion. Just wish it fit a bit better up top!

Fit like a glove and was very true to size. Great for a tiny waist and large hips. It showed cleavage, but not too too much where I felt uncomfortable. The kate spade necklace actually helped from feeling too exposed.

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

I wore this dress to a September wedding. I was alittle concerned because the color looked Alittle too bright, but it was actually perfect. I was comfortable all night and it looked great. Im short, and a bit stocky so this dress gave my hips the space. Only thing was it holds a stain- The drops from my cold glass made quite a dark spot that took forever to dry. Other than that, it was a hit.

I rented this dress for a wedding this summer and it worked out great. The dress was pretty true to fit but the bust was a little snug - I am in between a B and C cup so I would not recommend this for anyone who is larger than that.

This dress is so adorable, and IT HAS POCKETS! :)

Size worn: 10

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

It ran true to size but heads up if you have a large chest. I wore my regular size but with a bra (no padding) I really couldn't breathe. If you look at the details on the dress you'll see these seems running down and across the chest area and they make it form fitting. They were also supportive so that I did not need to wear a bra. :) The fabric is thick and has a slight shimmer to it. Be a lady when sitting and getting in and out of cars because it is a tad short...came about mid thigh on me and I'm 5'4". I received many compliments and wore it with a light, white cardigan and heels that were sort of faded gold/silver. I also ordered the 'mystery bling' and received beautiful faded gold (perfect with my shoes) Kendra Scott Twisted Ivy earrings. They were about 3 inches long and heavy. Something I would probably never wear/buy normally, but it worked with the dress and they were perfect. Returning is a breeze. Just a thought though...be mindful of your last rental day being a Sunday.

Versatile dress for wedding. Gets compliments.

Size worn: 6

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

I am typically a size 4 in pants/shorts so I ordered a 4 and 6. The 4 was tight in the chest and upper waist so I ended up wearing the 6. The 6 was even a bit tight in the upper waist when I sat down. The waist is at a funny level- too low to be called an empire wasted but hits higher than the hips. But overall the dress worked out great- casual enough for the daytime and dressy for the night reception. It got a lot of compliments as well!

Oddly, the size 4 was a little shorter than the size 2. So I went with the smaller one so I was showing a little less leg in church even though the 4 was a slightly looser and more comfortable fit.

Wonderful dress choice. Wore this to a wedding rehearsal dinner. LOVED that it has pockets! Can be worn with or without a bra, strapless or regular, depending. I just wore some of those padded stickies (I have small chest) and they fit right in and didn't slide anywhere the whole night.The color is so vibrant. I would definitely buy this dress, or rent it again! Great go to look for a wedding. Just remember, it does need a statement necklace to add some oomph. That's how I accessorized.

Size worn: 4

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Wedding

I wasn't sure what to wear to a summer wedding in the Hampton's but came across this fun and ladylike dress and new it would work out well. The color is darker than it appears in the picture, definitely a teal. I rented the 2 and 4 but wore the 4 because the dress was too small in the bust in the 2 (I wear a C/D cup). The arm holes also cut me at a place where it wasn't flattering with my arms flat against my sides. But other than those minor issues, the dress was great and I got lots of compliments!

I got a size 10 and a 12 and wore the 12. This was my second Shoshanna rental and I'm loving the line so far. There is something about the way the dresses are made and fit that seems to work well for me.

I rented this dress as a back up style for a bridal shower. I wore my original choice and my sister ended up wearing this one. She loved the pockets, the color and the fact that you can wear a standard bra. It has a flattering shape and is very easy to wear. I did have to take it to the dry cleaner to have it pressed before she could wear it so I'd recommend getting it delivered two days before your event. Overall great choice. I'll probably rent it again soon so I can actually wear it. Maybe in navy...

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

I wore this to a wedding as my first option did not fit as well. It was a great color. I was afraid the skirt was going to be a bit too flared but it wasn't. I am a bit larger on top for someone my height so it was a bit tight in the chest area but not so bad that it was uncomfortable. This has been my 4th rental for an occasion and I love the variety and ease that Rent the Runway provides!
