Originally ordered for a Christmas party that I couldn't attend because I was sick - ended up wearing for a date night with my husband and got compliments all night long!

This dress has really great details in the sleeves, waist, and neckline. You don’t need to wear jewelry with it. It is a little more empire-waisted than it looks in photos, which I don’t find super flattering. But it’s a nice option for a holiday party.

I wore this for Christmas Eve and it was very festive so I got compliments on it.  Personally o felt it made me look a little more too heavy than I prefer but I liked the fit well enough overall.  

I joked that this dress’ vibe was “why no officer, I loved my husband and he had no enemies.” 

Rented this for my work’s festive holiday lunch and it was perfect — richly colored, perfect fit and fun flares, flattering with incredible detail, fetching without being inappropriate. I wasn’t warm in this. The one downside (for me) was the bell sleeves kind of dragged when I would get food and so I ended up needing to hold them. Love this dress. 

I wore one size smaller than usual based on prior reviews and it fit perfectly. The color is intense. The sleeves are gorgeous and the cut is flattering and feminine.

Wore this for a friend’s birthday dinner and Thanksgiving with the family. It was a hit!

This dress is beautiful.  The material is a bit stiff and you may be prone to sweating if worn for dancing.  It was worth it though, as it is striking. So many compliments! 

Love the lace detail. It fits funny on the neck if you plan on moving around a lot. For those with longer arms the bell sleeve hits just above the wrist. I rented this 2 times already and loved it both times!

They didn't  have a 4 so I wore a 6 instead.  It fit very nicely and I got many compliment on the dress.  

Wore this to a formal holiday function and received tons of compliments. The color is bright and the fit is very flattering. I'm a little in between sizes right now and ended up sizing up to a 10 - the only thing that was noticeably too big was the length of the sleeves. I'm 5'5" 160lbs with an hourglass shape. I would absolutely wear this again and recommend to anyone! 

Fits comfortable and it goes from work during day to cocktails in the evening. 

Loved this dress and got a ton of compliments. Very flattering in all the right places and forgiving to the midsection. It was also very comfortable, and the perfect length. I am almost 40 years old and try to stay away from dresses that are too short, but feel like below the knee makes me look frumpy! This dress was elegant and high quality.

A size 4 was good for me, but slightly on the large side around the bust area. It fit perfectly around the hips, not too tight, and not too baggy.
The fabric was pleasant, not scratchy.
The sleeves were a little long, but not too much.
I wore it to a holiday party, mostly with people in their 40's and 50s. It's conservative but still sexy.
I didn't love it, but it was appropriate for the occasion.
Everyone tends to wear black where I am, I felt a little out of place but I do love the color. It is really coca cola red, very vibrant.

Loved the neckline, bell sleeves, and how flattering it was on my body shape. The lace was sturdy and thicker so it held structure better than flimsier lace. Wore this to the theatre and just loved it!!

I ended up wearing this as a replacement dress for a Christmas party. It's flattering but still appropriate for all occasions. Really loved the lace sleeves :) 

Beautiful, loads of compliments, incredibly comfortable, worn to a Christmas party

Sadly, I really wanted to like this. But, I didn't. 
The dress has no shape, it's very boxy. 

I wanted to wear something very feminine, festive and fun to our romantic weekend escape. The Kensington dress from Shoshanna was perfect in every way and made me feel very pretty! I received soooo many compliments on the dress. Definitely going to wear this again - perhaps Valentines Day? Excited to find another designer that fits me so well too!

This was the perfect dress to wear to work and then straight to our holiday party. I'm glad I got the 10 for room in the shoulders and bust. Waist wasn't super fitted but it was still comfortable and flattering. So I'd say go with your usual size or one up. 

Love the dress, love the fit!  Was perfect for the evening holiday party I chose it for I had another event I would wear this again.  Was not disappointed! 

Beautiful color, good quality lace material, nice fit, more of a looser fit, 

I wore this to a semi-formal dinner and received several compliments. It was attractive and flattering, but not too tight. I felt comfortable, beautiful, and fun. 

Fairly comfortable and incredibly cute! One star off in that it was a bit tight for athletic shoulders and arms. I wore my usual size, 6.

Great dress and perfect for a work Christmas party. The bell sleeves got in the way a little when eating, but the dress overall helped me out of my comfort zone (being red). 

Wore it for a date night. Amazing dress, very comfortable and curve friendly. 

I loved, loved this red lace dress. I got so many compliments when I wore it. It is a large size 0 and could have been a bit more fitted throughout the waist. But because it was a little roomy, it was super comfortable.

Dress is medium weight lace with lining. Back zipper. Waist isnt super fitted,  so it is somewhat forgiving of figure flaws. The keyhole cutout at neckline is a little conservative, so it adds sexiness without revealing too much (I am B cup). 

Rented this for a night out in Las Vegas with my hubby.....I rented my usual size (4) but felt it was a little loose in certain areas (waist, shoulders).  But the next size down would have been too small for me through the hips.  Overall, enjoyed this dress. It has a slip lining and is more of a conservative than sexy look.  The sleeves were also a tad long - I had to fold back the ruffled cuff when washing my hands.

I wore this dress to work for Valentine's Day. It's a fun dress, but it was a little tighter (in the chest) and shorter than I'd normally wear. I received many compliments, but there isn't any stretch it's all basically lace. 

#fun #flirty and yet still #professional - wore to a work conference when I was going to be on stage in front of 1500 people. I got so many compliments. This dress fit me perfect! The red is a beautiful shade and the black accents accent your waistline in a perfect way. 

This dress is so comfortable and flattering. I wore it for a New Year's Eve Party and it was perfect. It definitely runs a bit big but I wore my usual size 6 and only I would have noticed that a 4 would have been preferred. I'm tall and this was a great cocktail length for me. 

Beautiful dress comfortable stylish and stress free. Loads of compliments very flattering but age and office appropriate. Loved this dress. 

Loved the fit of this dress it was perfect for my gala 

Cute and comfortable dress. I usually wear a size 6, but I went up a size for a bit more length as I am tall (5'11"). 

I loved this dress, and I received so many compliments that I was a welcomed flash of colour in the sea of dark coloured outfits at our party. I usually wear a 10, but after the holidays I was worried about being a little fluffy, so I ordered a 14 (12 was unavailable) and got the 10 as a back up. I am so glad I did as the 10 fit perfectly!. The dress has a lot of stretch to it which I was not expecting, and the shape was perfect! This is the first RTR dress I've rented (and there's been many) that ticked every single box when it came to the fit! I loved the colour, the cut, the fabric, and how easy it was to wear!

Such a pretty dress! Long enough for my office holiday party, stylish enough for a holiday concert and drinks on the town in SF with my ladies. The lace is well made and had no flaws. 

I am very broad  but the 10 fit like a glove. I loved the color, especially since its holiday season. The dress  was very comfortable which I was a bit concerned about since it is very lacy.
I got a ton of compliments on the dress.
