I loved this rental. It was comfortable to wear with a gorgeous gold detail throughout.  It does run large, though. I typically wear a 4 but ended up wearing the 2 and even that could have been a little tighter. Overall, I loved it!

The fit is definitely big, I am almost always a size 6 (even in Shoshanna), and the four had some breathing room in it.  The dress is beautiful in person, a bit more gold than the model picture shows. I wish I could buy it! Very lightweight fabric, great for a hot day.

I wore this for my bridal shower in May. I had so much fun wearing this dress, I did not want to take it off! The texture is awesome, the color is beautiful, the shape is just right, and it has pockets! It has good structure to it, but isn't heavy. I got so many compliments on it during the day and felt comfortable in it, despite it being warm outside and me being slightly overwhelmed by the bridal shower attention. 

This dress was fantastic!  I wore it to Steeplechase and received compliments all day.  The color is vivid and the fit was awesome.  I am right in between a 8-10 and the 8 fit perfectly.  I'm also 6' tall and the length was fine.  I would highly recommend this dress! 

This dress was amazing! Just gorgeous and I love it so much. I wore the 6 when normally I am an 8. It was a little tight when I was sitting, just on my torso below my bra. But other than that the fit was great. The color was amazing for a summer wedding. I seriously got a lot of comments on this dress and it made me feel amazing. I would definitely rent this dress again! 

I rented this dress for a summer wedding. I have a large bust and the 8 fit perfectly. I loved that it wasn't super tight so I didn't have to worry about eating or drinking too much. Also, it was a perfect, lady-like length. I saw so many other women with super short dresses and was happy that my length wasn't totally scandalous. The gold design was absolutely stunning! I received compliments all night. The best part was that I could wear a regular bra with this dress and didn't have to worry about pulling a strapless bra up all night. I rented the Slate & Willow Lobby Necklace as an accessory and it was absolutely perfect. I loved everything about this look and highly recommend it!

This dress runs big.  I got a 2 and 0 as a backup and ended up wearing the 0.  The 2 was alright, but the 0 fit perfectly.   If you have a larger bust you may need to size up, as there is no stretch.   The color is perfect for spring and summer, and the pockets were an added bonus to store my sunglasses.  The fabric is what makes this dress a show stopper, I just can't say enough good things about this dress. 

Plenty of room for a larger bust, can wear a regular bra without it showing.

I loved the fit, style and color. Would definitely rent again!

Super comfortable - fabric was light, and not too short for the taller girls out there! I kept getting compliments all night long.

Wore this to a spring wedding in Napa and received many compliments. It is lightweight and has pockets! I rented my normal size and a size down, and ended up wearing the smaller size. 

Absolutely spectacular fabric. The colors are amazing. And the upper part of the dress hugs jut the right places!! 

Loved this rental - maybe one of my favorites to date. It was super light weight and the fit made it very comfortable. The color was so pretty and the touches of gold were perfect! I was able to wear a good bra, which is helpful for me since I have a larger chest. I received a million compliments!!

Great easy fit. Does run a little big on top. You can wear a regular bra. Loved the dress. Was a really fun cute look. 

This dress was gorgeous! I received so many compliments and it was so comfortable! The pockets were great and held all the essentials and you couldn't tell anything was even in them! The fit was perfect and great length for a beach wedding! Highly recommend!! 

This dress was beautiful, comfortable, and looks great on hourglasses! It is much more 'gold' in person that it seems like in pictures. It also has pockets, which is great for storing your phone or chapstick without causing a weird bulge in the dress. The dress does run large. I normally wear a 6 and ended up wearing a 4 and it hit a little loose.  

This is my second RTR dress and I am still blown away by everything! The colors in the dress are amazing and the fabric is too! I'm normally a 2 in most things and the 0 was a little big but it worked! Had room to eat a lot at the wedding haha! Perfect for dancing! Got compliments all night from strangers! 

I ordered a 0 and 2 . I'm so glad I did because the dress runs very big. I ended up wearing the 0. I weigh 133 and I'm 5'2 with a curvy figure. The best part of this dress was the pockets!! I received so many compliments on this dress at the bridal shower. The dress does however look different from the pic.. In the pic you can't really see the gold drops all over the dress but in person it's very noticeable. Thanks RTR!! 

Loved this dress and got so many compliments throughout the night (and from people just seeing pictures after). Beautiful color. Very lightweight which is great for a spring/summer wedding. Great for ladies with a large chest. lots of room at the hips as well - it does poof a bit when you sit. Probably could have gone down to the size 4 (hadn't ordered it), but the 6 fit well and didn't look too big. 

This is my fav rental yet! The dress is far more pretty in person as well as comfortable. This is a dress I'd love to own. I received so many compliments and am just beyond happy with this order. 

Really beautiful dress w/ adorable pockets - and I was so excited that I was the first to wear it, it still had the tags on!  The fit was great and the material made it special even though it was a simple cut.

Very nice fit with cinched waist look, only issue was the straps were not the most fitted and the low cut front was a little bit more revealing than I usually am comfortable with. Other than that, the dress itself was beautiful and I enjoyed the fit and flare out shape!

I ordered this dress as back-up for another dress. It fit so nicely! I wore a regular bra with it, which was great. It was fun for a wedding. I loved the gold and turquoise together, and the unique fabric. 

This dress def runs a bit large. I'm normally an 8 but that size was unavailable and I took a risk with the 6. It was tight around my bust but fit beautifully everywhere else. I got compliments all night and it made me feel like a rockstar at the wedding. I thought it was prefect for my height as well!!

Definitely runs big. I usually wear a size 2 or 4, but the 0 fit perfectly. I got lots of compliments. Would definitely rent again!

Okay this dress is gorgeous!! First of all the color is much brighter than in the picture and the gold details really stand out! The fabric also has a really lightweight feel so it is perfect for spring and summer! I wore this to a cocktail attire wedding and it was fun to be one of the only girls not wearing a plain black dress!

This dress runs really big! I am normally a 12 and after reading reviews I ordered this in a 10 and an 8.  The 10 fit okay but was definitely too big and the 8 would have been perfect. Unfortunately the 8 ended up not being available and the other backup dresses RTR sent me weren't great on me. I ended up buying some fashion tape to hold this dress on my body better and wore the 10! It was gorgeous, comfortable, and I was probably the only one who knew it was too big! I would definitely rent again but in the smaller size!

The best part is this dress has super big pockets which were great for keeping my phone with me all night for pictures on the dance floor!


Definitely runs large. I wore a 4, usually I'm a 6 pushing 8. The fit is good for a large bust. I felt supported with just the right amount of cleavage. It is not as short as it looks on the model, at least on me, which gives it more of a conservative look than I was anticipating. The fabric and construction are high quality.

I wore this dress to my senior prom and absolutely LOVED it!! No one else had a dress like it, the color and pattern was unique, and it had POCKETS!! I would order an extra dress in a size smaller than what you usually wear because that's the one I ended up wearing. 

Usually Shoshanna runs small on me and I need a 2 or 4. But this dress runs really big! I definitely needed the zero. Other than that it's a beautiful dress, even better in person that in the picture. I got so many compliments on it! 4 stars because of sizing. 

and super comfortable! i have been ordering a size 10 but the 8 fit much better.

The dress 100% ran big...I wish I had read the descriptions of the other women who have worn it. The straps were big for me as well as the bust. However, I did get many compliments about the style and color. I wish I had ordered the size 2. 

Very pretty color and the metallic pattern was gorgeous! I wasn't able to wear this dress, it was too big on me. It definitely needs to be very fitted around your waist because the skirt is pleaded and poofs out.  If it was a tighter fit I would of definitely worn this dress!

Fits true to size, slightly long on me but I'm 5'1. The fabric looked brand new unlike some other RTR dresses that look worn out or older. I got so many compliments on this dress!

This is. hands-down, my favorite dress I've ever worn. The fit was perfect (I'm between a 4 and 6, and ended up wearing the 6). I didn't have to wear a bra, and it worked perfectly. The armholes were a tiny bit on the tight side, but not so much that they bothered me at all. I wore left my neck bare (the dress is so shimmery and beautiful, iI didn't think it needed anything), dangly gold earrings, and nude strappy heels. I don't think I have ever gotten so many compliments on an outfit.. even the bride made a fuss. I felt beautiful all night. Rent this dess!

Beautiful color and material, and so comfortable! Loved it!

The fit of this dress was true to size for me.  I do have a small belly, but I was able to wear my Spanx and a regular bra so I had no problems with the fit.  I wore the dress in the month of August in sunny Puerto Rico and felt very comfortable in it.  The dress has pockets, which is always a plus.  The color of the dress, a light turquoise with gold metallic teardrops, complimented my sister's champagne dress and the bridesmaids turquoise dresses.  I got lucky with finding this dress because I wanted to rent and not buy.  I received many compliments and this was yet another wonderful experience with Rent the Runway!  

The tear drop detail is more pronounced in person but I loved that aspect of it. The fit was very flattering and was super fun to dance in (clearly!) Another great dress from RTR!

fashionable while very comfortable. RTR made the whole process very easy. 

Very comfortable, lightweight. Got lots of compliments! Perfect for a summer wedding!

Good fit, loved the color and gold tones to the dress. Really pretty on!

I loved this dress but ended up wearing my alternate. It ft perfectly and I will rent it to actually wear to another event!

I never wear a zero, and had to fast ship this dress in a zero and it was still pretty big on me.  Color was beautiful but fabric was kinda stiff.

This was the perfect dress for a seaside wedding. The color is a gorgeous turquoise-aquamarine with beautiful gold detailing. Mermaid is in the name of the dress and that is exactly how I felt in it! The dress was a size smaller than I would've preferred (still true to size). It was a little snug to zip up but it did still fit and I felt great in it anyhow.  I was only carrying a small clutch and loved being able to carry my phone, cash and lip gloss right in the pockets- major bonus points! The fabric was very light and airy so it didn't weigh me down and kept me nice and cool at the beach ceremony. If I hadn't taken so many photos in it I'd definitely be renting it again.  

This dress runs large, I usually wear a 12 but in this dress the 12 was too roomy.  The 10 fit like a glove! I got so many compliments through out the night at the NYC wedding I attended! I wish I owned this dress and would recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, flashy, colorful piece! 

This dress was like 2 lbs.  so light weight and comfy.  I have a large bust (34C/D)... So, I was looking for a dress to hide or at least cover most of my chest.  This dress was perfect for that... The colors are amazing for summer or spring.  U can wear silver or a light gold shoes with this dress.  The details are more of a lighter gold'ish color.  This dress will elicit a lot of compliments.  It's GEORGEOUS.  RTR delivered right to my hotel in NYC 2 days earlier than expected.  It really worked out.  

I had ordered a 4 but it was previously returned damaged so I went with the 2 because a friend said it runs huge! It does! Normally I'm a 6 but can go a smaller size when it's fit and flare. Got a ton of complements! And it had pockets!

I wore this for my bridal shower brunch. I received so many compliments!!! The dress runs large - I am usually a 4 or 6 in dresses - I wore the 2 & it was still large in the chest. I still felt great in it & don't think I would've worn a 0 just because I worry it would've been too short. The dress looks like it would be hot/heavy but the material was lightweight enough that I was comfortable on a hot day in August. I received a TON of compliments & felt great!

This dress was so much better in person than the pictures.  I received so many compliments throughout the night. The teal with the muted gold is a perfect match. It does run big in the waist so I would recommended sizing down. 

I wore this to a more upscale rehearsal dinner. The color is gorgeous in person - turquoise, more blue than green, with silvery/creamy gold dots. It had pockets, but didn't stick out too far like some dresses do with pockets. The neckline is extremely flattering on a smaller bust. I have a small bust and a larger booty so I'm typically a 6. I ordered the 4 and 6 just bc it wasn't fitted in the bottom and sometimes dresses are a little big in the top bc I'm lacking there. The 4 actually worked since it wasn't fitted so I ended up wearing that one, but I would say it's pretty true to size. If you have any boobs at all I would not size down. The dress was fun and EXTREMELY comfortable (even through cocktail hour, dinner, more wine, giving a speech for the bride, and the after party) and photographed well. I would rent this one again in a heartbeat! 

This dress runs large. I wore a 2 and typically am a 4 or 6 in dresses. It was so fun to wear and so flattering, I loved it! It looks heavier than it is, it's actually really light weight. The print is really special and the gold pattern shimmers just enough without being sparkly. Rent this but size down for sure!

I am a true 0, but the 0 was unavailable on the date I wanted. I think the photos still came out alright, but thinking back I should have brought clothespins to clip the dress in the back so it shows my figure better. The fabric is high quality and the gold details are great. It is a very flattering color in person. 

I had to order a 6 and a 10 as the 8 was unavailable. The 6 fit but would have been uncomfortable to wear all night. 10 was a bit big but not so much that I couldn't wear it. Length was nice for 5'6". 8 would've been perfect. I loved the color and the gold detail. Very nice for a summer wedding.  Very comfortable, wore with regular bra. Paired with nude heels, gold clutch and gold jewelry. Pockets are a great touch!

Straps of dress didn't fit perfectly. I don't have much in the breast department so if you are chesty than this dress may fit better with the straps. Otherwise loved the dress. I have never received so many comments on a dress before (besides my wedding dress!) people I didn't even know stopped me to tell me they loved the dress! 

Dress fit great! Light weight and easy to move in! A little tight on the bust on the smaller dress, but I liked the fit better!

Definitely runs large - normally I'm a 4/6, ordered 4 and 2 based on reviews and wore the 2. The fabric was comfortable and the cut simple, but the gold detail really dressed it up and was perfect for the fancy wedding in downtown Chicago I attended. I wore a statement necklace, gold strappy shoes and metallic tone clutch - and it has pockets!

Loved this dress. Fits true to size.   I received so many compliments and was sad to send it back 

This dress was PERFECT! It was comfortable, stylish, and was great with my coloring (especially my pink hair!)  I received so many compliments and felt very confident all day.  The necklace that I rented was a great addition to the outfit.  I will definitely rent from RTR in the future.  

LOVED this dress! The colors and pattern was beautiful...perfect for a wedding at the beach.  I went one size down from my normal dress size but it was still a little big in the chest area. Otherwise it fit perfect. It was actually long enough which is usually very hard for me to find! This was my first time with Rent The Runway and it was a success. Can't wait to rent again!

I am usually a 8 or a 10 and i wore a 6 so it runs big:)

I rented this dress for a June wedding at a museum in Chicago.  The fit was  great for a wedding, easy to dance in.  This dress lacked a "wow" factor that a lot of other RTR and Shoshanna dresses have.  However, I still felt great in this dress but I do think there are more fun options out there.  The best part of this dress was being able to rock a gold clutch and gold jewelry that played well off the gold diamonds on the dress.  

This was a great dress to wear for a wedding. A lovely seafoam sort of color with a bit of gold to dress it up. It ran a little big so I wore a 0 vs the 2. I think Alicia Silverstone wore this dress on the Today Show for the 20th anniversary of Clueless.
