The dress was perfect for a cocktail reception for a black tie wedding. The fabric is thicker than I anticipated, which might get hot if you are standing out in the heat, but it was fine for me. The thickness added to this really cute silhouette. I was tempted to keep it. I have a small bust, so I can't speak to the fit if you have a fuller one.

Nice material. A little tight around the waist. If you are big chested, it’s a good dress. Can’t wear a bra with this dress. I think it would be perfect for a New Year’s party! 

I loved the dress and it was fine without a bra. The bodice flares out more than you might expect—it still worked for me but I am guessing some women may want to pin that area for modesty. Back is gorgeous. 

Such a cute and flattering dress! I felt so good in it. Highly recommend! 

This dress is one of my favorites from RTR because:
It has pockets. 
It was very flattering - fitted on top, but flared for comfort on the bottom. Easy to sit down in and plenty of movement when dancing. 
It has a very unique and striking back.
It's formal - LBD esque, but the pattern is eye catching. 
I wore this with a backless bra, but the material is a sturdy type that wouldn't require a bra. I also liked that it didn't require much jewelry wise to look dressed up. Rent this dress!

Amazing neckline, beautiful material, flattering! 

This dress was perfect for my event- I needed something more conservative for the bar mitzvah ceremony (I wore a sweater in the synagogue), but still wanted a dress that was fun for a party. The back of the dress was super fun! It was a little big in the chest (34A), but I thought the thick fabric and the structure of the dress hid that pretty well. I didn't wear a bra. It was a super fun and comfortable
dress to wear! 

I loved this dress so much, the fabric has a great weight to it, the back keeps it looking fun and sexy, and it got compliments all evening! Ended up buying it and I can't wait to wear it again and again. Plus no bra required! Boning in the bodice and a strip of fashion tape on each side kept it perfectly in place all day. 

Fit true to size, the fabric felt really nice and photographed well. 

This dress is TTS & looks expensive. I didn't love the way it looked on me in the hip area, but that had nothing to do with the dress.  

This dress was extremely flattering. I was able to size down to a 8 (normally a 12P / 10) It was a little tight, but they didn't have the 10 in stock. I loved the back of this dress and the pockets! I have an hourglass figure and it was nice not to wear spanx for a formal affair. I wore this to a fundraiser - some women were in ball gowns, others in cocktail dresses. This was the perfect mix. Would recommend this dress - and basically any Shoshanna dress. She really knows how to dress a woman!

I loved this dress! I wore it to a charity event and thought it was the right amount of conservative and sexy with the open back.  It was a little tight around the waist but the 6 still fit better than the 8. I've gained some weight recently so I was happy the 6 fit best! I loved the pockets and thought it was super flattering especially in the tummy. It has an almost 50's vibe to it with the hourglass shape it created. 

Runs larger in the bust area very comfortable good length and pockets! 

I wore this dress for a charity auction and received so many compliments! I especially love the back and the pockets! I found the fit good / TTS overall except tight around the waist. Fortunately it zipped! I am usually a size 2 in pants and medium in tops, and I wore the size 4. I wished I had ordered the 6 for a little bit more comfortable fit, but great dress overall. 

I normally wear a size 6, but have a large bust (34DDD) so I'm used to sizing up. However, I definitely wish I had gone down to a 4 for my back up size. I didn't completely fill out the bust area and pinned the sides of the dress to prevent gaps under my arms. Otherwise the dress was great! The style was fun yet classy. Loved loved loved the open back! The material was thick but still comfortable and easy to dance in.

This is a beautiful and fun dress, and I got tons of compliments from strangers on it. The fit was a bit weird, though. I wore the 8 but it was pretty big in the chest, which was not the most comfortable. I am a 36DD, so usually I fill out proportionally-sizes dresses. Just something to be aware of! 

I got so many compliments on this dress! The fit and flare style is classy. The material is thick and the gold shine stands out. The open back is beautiful and what sold me on this dress! The length was perfect! The dress was elegant, but also comfortable and the pockets sealed the deal. One word of caution - The top was a bit gappy for a smaller chest. However the waistline seam was true to size with no stretch. 

Runs large. Could have gotten away with a size 4, words I haven't uttered since high school. Plenty of room in the bust, also words I haven't said in a long time (32DD and wasn't constricted at all).  One issue was the back enclosure came undone a few times, and the hooks and eyes were a little unwieldy, but still about as perfect as a dress can get.

Beautiful dress! Great quality material, the pattern is even better in person, and it was perfect for a fairly formal event. I will say that it did run a little large on top-- I was fine with the 10, but I did wonder if the 8  would have been less gappy around the arms and sides. Overall, though, I was comfortable and happy with it, and I got a lot of compliments! And, best of all, it has pockets!! 

The material was thick and I didn't need a bra. The top gaped a bit on the side but i just pinned it in and you couldn't tell. 

I loved this dress! I got so many compliments and it was so comfortable! The top runs big but the waist fits true to size. I normally wear a size 8 and I wore a 6. Also the pockets are an added bonus!

I loved this dress. I actually rented it for a family Bar Mitzvah and then rented again for the Tony Awards. Really loved the cut and the fit. One of my best RTR experiences!

My first RTR dress and it did not disappoint. It was classy , the perfect length and the right amount of glam for NY. Highly recommend for any body type as it covers all of your lady lumps. Major plus I was able to fit my phone in the pockets !!! Thanks RTR you will definitely hear from me again .

The dress was stunning. The only downside was that It ran large in the bust. Got tons of compliments!! 

Fit perfectly. Wore with a NuBra and that was fine - could have gotten away without a bra because it was well structured but I felt more comfortable with something. Stayed clasped and in place all night. Loved this dress and would rent again!

I normally wear size 4-6 and with the reviews provided went with the 2 which worked out perfectly. Loved the pockets too!! 

I ordered a size down after reading the reviews and it still fit a little loose but looked good and was comfortable. Thick fabric and boning meant no bra was necessary which was a plus with the open back (I have a med-largish chest and almost always need a bra for support). Heavy fabric was appropriate for a fall-winter wedding with tights and a shawl. Very happy with the look. 

This dress pulled you in where you needed to be. No bra needed and was still totally comfortable. Great length for a 30 something who dances non-stop at weddings. Open back made it business in the front and party in the back. I had a itty baby bump and it hid it perfectly.

This dress was comfy and cute and great for a charity event that I attended with work. I probably could have gone down to the 4 but I rented last minute and the size was not available. Either way, this dress worked great! 

Pros: gorgeous print, heavy fabric, pockets!, unique back, good structure 

Cons: For me, the chest area of the dress was huge and unbalanced with the waist - my chest 38 b/c couldn't fill out the top.  The waist was comfortable in the 12, but I was swimming in the bust. I ended up wearing the 10, as it fit better on my chest (with a NuBra). The waist fit, but was just a teensy bit more snug than the 12. 

Overall loved the dress and received tons of compliments. Would recommend to those with a larger bust :)

I loved the pockets. It does run very large in the chest and the boning was a little weird but it looked great. 

The fabric of this dress is absolutely gorgeous. The dress is extremely well made with beautiful details throughout. I especially loved the ric-rac edging, open back, and POCKETS. It was easy to dance in and I received compliments on the dress throughout the evening. The only thing I would note about sizing is that it runs about 1 size large. I almost always wear a size 4 and wore the size 2 for this dress. This dress is also meant for ladies bustier than myself. I am a 32-B and the bust of the dress was gaping on me. The pattern disguised this enough that it was still wearable, but it's definitely meant for ladies with larger breasts. 

I wore this dress for a very fancy wedding I attended. I received soooo many compliments! Beautiful material that was flattering to my figure. The top fit a little loose in the chest area but nothing that was noticeable. Was able to wear a silicone stick on bra so the open back didn't get ruined with a regular bra sticking out. Comfortable to dance in. Absolutely loved the black and gold combo. Great dress for any type of formal event. 

I was in a rush so I picked this dress up from the store, where my size wasn't available. It runs large and you'll need a sticky bra as the back is completely open. I normally wear size 6 and I would have needed a 4 or even a 2. I'm wearing a size 0 in this picture- and it was a very tight squeeze in there! The shape, cut and fabric are beautiful though.

Beautiful dress, with a nice cut through the neck and shoulders. Loved the pockets and print with the loose fit through the hips.  I loved this dress, but the top was a bit loose, and I'm a 32F so if I was feeling that I'm sure others would feel it too. I was a bit surprised that it wasn't a better fit and would recommend sizing down to others. If I could have fastened the back straps together it would have kept the top more secure, but I couldn't figure out a way to make that work. Lots of compliments, fun to wear.  

I love this fun party dress by Shoshanna ! Running true to size , I recommend wearing your true size for your primary size and going up for your back up. This style is free and comfy from the waist down it works best for all cup sizes and can also be worn with a strapless or no  bra. From the waist down , this style has a loose free fit.  At 5’2”, the length stops me at mid thigh length , with gold or black  pair of  heels will complete your outfit! Adding a fun handbag will settle this unique dress with a fashionable touch. 

The waist ran small but this dress is definitely made for ladies with a larger chest. The pic is of the 8, which fit in the waist and length, but was way way too big in the chest, even with sticky bra. 

Wore this to a wedding in Sweden and I thought it would be a nice cool summer day but it ended up being close to 90 degrees. The dress was beautiful but too thick for the heat. It had pockets which were awesome and the back was stunning. One other thing I didn't like is that it smelled badly when I got it. Had to air it out.

Cute, but it runs pretty large so I could not wear it

I loved the fabric, halter style cut, flare skirt, and the pockets were perfect for the night. Only drawback- the bust is roomy even though the rest of the dress fit very well. I wore a sticky, backless bra and because of the roomy bust was a bit scared to make any sudden movements with the backless feature! I'm a typical size 12 and was surprised the bust had some room left, since I'm a 38B. So that's something to be aware of, even though the waist area fit me to a "t". Two hooks hold this dress on after you zip it up just below the open back-- one hook above the zipper at small of back and one hook behind the neck, where the straps meet. Otherwise, a killer dress that was so much fun to wear.
