Gorgeous dress, not for work
I LOVE Shoshana!! I swear these dresses make me look thinner. I thought I could defy the reviews about the keyhole since I have a small chest. I was wrong. Had to put a cami under but that wrecked the perfect flow of the dress. Beautiful dress, my husband loved it, just not for work.

Felt amazing- stylish and classy
I took a chance on this dress with few reviews (mixed) and no pics, and am so glad I did! The minute I tried it on, I loved it and felt like I looked amazing! I'm a solid 10, hourglass, and the 10 fit perfectly and true to size (though I did wear with my minimizer bra - with a larger bust I'd have needed to size up). Shows off curves without hugging them or highlighting bumps, so perfect for a client meeting and felt comfortable all day. The color is rich, the neckline is conservative yet sexy, and the sleeves are amazing. They split at the flair so that they fall open when reaching out, so did not get in the way when eating, etc. The eyelet detail on them is just beautiful. The length on me (5'9) was just below the knee. I got so many compliments on this dress and RTR has a few new members because of it! I wore with tights and boots because of the weather, but it would be great with bare legs and heels or booties. I have no cons at all for this dress. It was pretty perfect and I'll definitely rent again!

Wore it to a meeting with the Danish Ambassador to look fancy.
It is a pretty dress as far as shape, color and sheen-y fabric. And I like the IDEA of the flaired sleeves more than the practicality of them - draped all over my meals, had to keep pushing them up and away. One complaint - the neck keyhole is absurdly low. On the website photo it looks like it's just on the clavicle, and the model's flesh shows underneath it. But when I wore it I was fully exposed, so I wore a burgundy camesole under it.

10/10 If you're thinking about it - rent this one!
This is an amazing dress for the hourglass and the pear shaped girlies! Truly stunning. But make sure you get the right size as this dress is snug in the best ways!

Bunchy
This fit well in the bust area I would say it has a bit of stretch there but once fully zipped there is a bit of bunching on the sides. Overall nice, thick material and other than the bunching issue it seems to be quality made.

Classic dress with modern touches. The bell sleeves and low cut key hole kept it from being boring. Nice color.

Really liked this dress but skit hole does come down a little too low. So may not be good for work if you have ample chest if you don't it will be flattering low neckline. Will wear again

Nice dress
Beautiful fit (once I sized up one size), nice detailing on the neckline & sleeves. I wore it to work with a jacket as it was a little too much for my workplace, with the fancy sleeves & somewhat low neckline. Probably better for a party than for work!

I could not recommend this dress more. From the quality of the fabric to the beautiful color and the perfect fit, this dress is as classy as it gets (while still having the right amount of sexy). People are still mentioning how beautiful the dress was and how much they want it. HIGHLY recommend - you will look and feel beautiful, confident and flawless.

Lovely dress, just not on me
The length is a little awkward for me and it definitely runs a bit small. Fabric is pretty and there was no obvious gap at the front with my 34B chest. Challenging for me to get zipped and/off. Didn't wear.

Nice dress, definitely a little longer. Nice muted color and fairly conservative for work. A "safe bet"! Definitely plan on shape wear or smoothing undergarments with this. :)

Too low cut for work, but a lovely dress otherwise.
Unfortunately, I was not able to wear this dress for the event I had rented it for, as it was far too low cut for a work event. It would probably work well for ladies with a smaller bust, but for me (32 C) would gape open when I moved. I loved the fit otherwise and the sleeves were fabulous. If the slit were about an inch shorter it would have been perfect!

Too much "keyhole" for "prime time"
Love Shoshana dresses! Have rented several now and gotten compliments on all of them. This one I'm sure would be the same, but NOT in a work venue. The "keyhole" on this dress is quite low, and you can't really wear a tank or cami with this. So, it just didn't work for me. A date, an event or something, sure. But this was too much keyhole for prime time office viewing. Plus I am not really a fan of the bell sleeves.

The dress was a little big. the sleeves were too long and the ruffles got in the way.
A little loose, long and the sleeves have ruffles that make them too long and too big.

Very odd fit that did not work for me. Very clingy. The longer length was awkward even with tall boots. Sleeves were very long. Just bad for me...maybe it's better on taller, curvier ladies.
