I’m an athletic build with bigger chest/shoulders and the elastic gathering in the back made it possible for the size 2 to fit me. Im 5’2” - I wore 5” heels and the dress was still about an inch on the floor. I tacked the v-neck and used small rubber bands to gather the sleeve elastic tighter so they’d stay near my elbows. The pictures just don’t do it justice! My husband was apprehensive about the dress when on the hanger and ended up loving it on me, and tons of compliments from strangers!

Nice quality and cut.  Surprised at how comfortable it was.  It was too much for the casual wedding I was attending. You also have to love tiers and ruffles so maybe better on a younger set

Loved this one so much. Great fit. Maybe ran a little small but I’m more of a 4/6 than a straight 6 so it was perfect. Wore to a black tie event. Very comfortable. 

Fit perfectly and the sparkle and colors were everything!! 💖

Wore this to a “western couture” work event. I am 5’5 & 175lbs wore a small cowboy boot height heel, and it was in a warehouse so I was able to wear a long sleeve shirt underneath (and leggings actually lol) and it still looked OK w the long sleeve shirt! It’s a great dress! 

Great fabric, super dressy. Perfect length for me to get away with wearing gold sneakers. I wore the 10, but 10 and 12 both fit ok. 

This is the second Shoshanna dress I have gotten for RTR and I love her designs! The picture of this dress doesn’t do it justice. It’s very comfortable and very elegant. I did need some fashion tape to keep the front from gapping but I’m fairly small chested.

Rented for a black tie event. I'm 5'11" so the regular hit at the tops of my feet but for shorter women the flow will be beautiful! 36-29-44 and this hit right in all the places. The underskirt/lining is A-line as well as the overlay. Easy to wear and feel beautiful. I used some tape at the V for security as I was braless.

I absolutely loved this dress!  I wore it to a black tie event in December.  The bodice fit so well; didn't need, but used just to be safe, a little tape to make sure nothing slipped.  The length was perfect with a pair of heels.  Comfortable enough to dance.  I was so sad when it was time to return, I would have loved to kept and probably would be happy to wear it to Kroger for grocery shopping.  

Easy to wear! Many compliments! Ordered the 2 and 4 but went with the smaller size due to length. Back is made of elastic material so it had give. Note that the sleeves are more of 3/4 than full length as pictured on the model. Also, neckline was low for my preference, which I fastened with fashion tape. 

The colors were stunning. The dress fit very well, a little more cleavage shown then I liked for a charity gala but nothing tape won’t fix. I wore high heels and it was the perfect length. 

I absolutely loved this dress, it was exactly as pictured. It is quite long, but with heels at 5’4” I was able to wear it without any adjustments. It is low cut but nothing some fashion tape can’t fix. It was very comfortable and fit TTS. 

I had to use fashion tape at the V, but other than that it was perfect. I wore 2” heels and the length was perfect. So many compliments. 

Wore for a black tie wedding and received soooo many compliments. So many people asked where I got it. I would wear this dress again in a heart beat and was able to wear a normal bra. Rent it! 

I got this as a replacement for another dress that was missing a hook, and ended up so much happier with this choice. The dress was easy to wear, very comfortable, and so pretty: It photographed much better in the light than at the dark event I wore it to, but I got many compliments on it in person. I did pin the top for a slightly less low cut look but I think it could have worked fine even unpinned. Very happy with this one!

Really comfortable dress. The bust area didn’t look great on me without a safety pin inside, but otherwise perfect. Paired with black heels 

This was the perfect dress for a wedding with a "festive, formal, fun" dress code. SO comfortable, with a print that draws attention without being too over the top - I loved wearing, eating, and dancing in this dress! Only note is that it's low cut - I skipped a bra and used a few pieces of fashion tape to secure the neck line. 

Absolutely gorgeous dress! Slightly short on me, but I’m tall! TTS

This dress is beautiful but not appropriate for my need. I tried this dress to wear to my sons wedding but it was way to low cut for the occasion!

Loved this dress and received multiple comments.  Perfect for a black tie event or a Mardi Gras party (it's ALL the right colors!). 
Like others, I pinned the dress at the bust.  The photo I attached is without shoes (I'm 5'8") and with a 2-3 inch heel it won't drag.  I'm pear shaped (weight in thighs & hips) and this dress lends itself well to that shape as it's tighter in the stomach and then flows outwards at the hips. 

I wore the dress for a Mardi Gras-themed Gala. I received many compliments. I did expect it to be longer based on the description and other reviews. I am not tall and do not have long legs and the dress hit my ankles. I was perfectly comfortable all night! I would recommend. 

Wore to a formal NYE wedding. Everyone commented on how beautiful it was! True to size. It is very low cut but a tiny pin kept it secure. 

Get a deep plunge bra or strapless/push-up to fill top so you don’t accidentally flash anyone. I wore 3” heels, but even barefoot at 5’5” it was perfect length. 

Cut low so make sure you have proper support and/or a safety pin if needed 

Fit me very well.  I had to pin the neckline like a few others had experienced.  The size was perfect; I am 5'6, 150 pounds, slightly smaller on top/pear shape.  I wore a 2 inch heel.  The fabric was beautiful.  There are brush-stroke jewel tones with some dots of gold metalic.  It gave the dress a beautiful shimmer in the evening light without being overstated.  I got compliments from strangers on the way to the event.  There is a black underskirt so you don't have to wear a slip.  I wore a regular bra.  The sleeves are sheer and perfect for a little coverage and warmth for a fall evening.  The waist has a little bit of elastic shirring in the back (that doesn't show) to make it a custom fit.  

True to size.  With bigger bust definitely need to be comfortable showing a little skin, it would be difficult to pin top part if not comfortable showing.  Even better in person, so many compliments.

Loved this dress~Probably had a dozen people come up to me and say how beautiful it was. Super comfortable and flowy. 

I wore this dress to a date comprised of dinner at the an expensive steakhouse and a touring Broadway musical. It was a hit everywhere we went. The dress is very true to size. It is very deep cut in the chest, so a plunge bra is a must but I did not have any issues with it. The length was more challenging for me. With 4 inch heels, the bottom just barely swept the floor. It is a head turner for sure. I would rent it again.

Perfect for a gala or any fancy event.  Loved wearing it and felt comfortable 

Loved how this dress fit. Needed a pin for the chest area to hide bra. Beautiful pattern and colors. 

Usually wear a 2 or 4 and went with the 4 for a bit more comfort. I pinned the bust closed to be safe as it was a bit loose. I wore 3 inch heels and the length worked well. As other reviews mention the sleeves are not quite full length like they appear in the pictures. 
I was very comfortable in it all night and got a lot of compliments!

I’m typically an 8 in dresses mainly because of my large bust, but I definitely needed the 10 with this dress. Get ready to use lots of tape to lift the girls. It was a bit much compared to what I’m used to wearing, but I felt amazing. Perfect for a black tie wedding. Received many compliments and two people even suggested I buy the dress!

Dress was over-long, even in heels so I had a hard time walking or dancing, or holding a drink and a plate - needed one hand to lift the hem. But it felt great. I sized down and it was tight in waist/shoulders, but the larger size wouldhavebeen too big.

I thought the dress was black and it is mostly but its also got green, blue, purple flower designs and sparkly gold oval shapes too, which make it very unique. The v neck is very low and chest opening is way big, had to pin it; otherwise would be unbearable. I felt very matronly in this dress but got a lot of compliments wearing it to an awards event. I'm 5'3 and the dress was very long but nothing higher heels didn't solve for! :)

The dress was just right. I did get a size up purposely so it was not snug as I was going on stage for a religious non-profit fundraising event. The dress is beautiful! I did have to tape the bust area to my chest because I was trying to make the dress a little more modest.

Wore this for a formal affair and it photographed beautifully under harsh stage lighting and in natural lighting outdoors! Incredibly comfortable and lightweight. 

Went to a gala in August in Texas. Even with air conditioning it was very hot. The dress was breathable and I got so many compliments.
