Love, love, love this dress! The fit is fabulous, flowy and gorgeous. I received many compliments. 

This dress seems to run slightly big. The style is so flattering. The ruffles do not add bulk but enhance the fun of the dress. The gold glittery squares within the fabric is fabulous. I received lots of compliments. I wore this as a chaperone at a high school prom. 

The v neck is fairly deep and I did pin it at the back of the neck to bring the v up a bit. The sleeves have an elastic around the arm so it tends to puff up rather than hang. 

Loved this dress + got lots of compliments! Felt like I could have sized down one. 

I rented this dress for a very garden-themed wedding and got compliments on it all night! Of course it’s made all the more exciting since this shade of green is my favorite color, and the gold accents made it easy to accessorize with gold-toned jewelry!
The pleats along the bust looked a bit large and I wondered if it was meant for someone a bit fuller in the chest, but I also tried on the size 2 and going by shoulder seams, I think the 4 was just right. I didn’t have to wear any special bras underneath; a typical skin-tone bra worked perfectly. I appreciated the sheer fabric on the back; any time a breeze flowed, it was nice and cooling on me. The skirt is also lined to be very opaque and I wore a dark colored bike short underneath for comfort. There’s a side zipper on the left side to assist in putting on the dress. If only there were also pockets, then this dress would’ve been perfect! I’d love to rent this dress again if the occasion arises!

Such a pretty and comfortable dress! Loved the color and gold detailing on the fabrics. Wore it to a brunch with friends and farmers market and it was perfect

It has tiny gold fabric pieces in it that make it a little more special. Very slimming for those of us with a small waist but larger hips .

I’m normally a 12 and a 10 was a little loose on me. Comfy, casual dress. Wore with tan platform wedges go a spring recital.

I wore this several times. It was so comfortable and it looked great. It’s I very much wanted to keep this one. It’s a great dress. 

So flattering!! I would have loved the waist to be a little tighter (it sagged down slightly) but the fit was very comfortable. 

Pretty, comfortable, easy to wear dress! I loved the color too. Definitely runs a little big like others have said. I’m 2 months postpartum and felt so comfortable in this dress. 

This was the perfect dress for an outside August wedding! It’s easy to move in, the shape is flattering on a pear figure and the color with the gold details is stunning!! 

Loved this dress so so much. I could have went down to a 10 since it does have a stretchy waist ! I wore the 12 and still got so so many complements on it . 

Wore this to a more formal wedding and loved it! I’m 17 weeks pregnant (but baby #3 so a sizable bump). Typically wear an 8, would have liked to size up to a 10 but wasn’t available. The 8 still was good, a tiny bit tight around the waistband and arms but comfortable to wear all night. It’s light and flowy but still feels really nice quality. Would wear again! 

I absolutely loved this dress. It was so comfortable to wear but felt flattering and special.  It was slightly big in the bust on me but fit perfectly everywhere else.!
It’s hard to tell on the pictures but the little gold flecks add so much - as you move they really catch the light. Was supposed to wear to a wedding but the airlines had other plans so I wore it on a date night and it worked equally well for both scenarios. Would definitely rent again!

It was beautiful and a good light weight for a summer wedding. Good for big chests without being too much. Got so many complements. BUT it runs so big. I’m a pretty solid 8 but after reading reviews got my backup size 6. I wore the 6 and feel like I could have fit into a 4. 

Very pretty color and the flecks of gold were a nice touch! The fit was lovely-not too low cut which is ideal since I have a larger chest. Comfortable and easy to move around in. Just pick shoes and go! Would probably be cute with sneakers and a jacket for a more casual look as well. Love the versatility! I would definitely recommend or wear again. 

I got sooo many compliments on this dress! I wore it to a wedding and it was perfect. Very flattering and comfortable! 

Loved this dress. Girly and beautiful. Great spring and summer look. 

Fit was amazing and I got tons of complements on it! It was perfect for a function at my medical school on St. Patricks Day! I even threw a blazer on top of it for a formal headshot and it looked great

Sweet dress! A little tight on the arms. Beautiful fabric with the little gold flecks! 

So comfortable, roomy, while still being a statement piece! Wore to a work luncheon. I didn’t fill out the bust part, but the dress fit my rib cage perfectly. Would definitely rent again!

This dress was perfect for an outdoor wedding! The fit was dream and was so comfy. Stay true to size even if you have a larger bust 

Oh my gosh. This dress was gorgeous. Perfect for many events! So so gorgeous. No pockets, and I’d suggest sizing down. I will rent this again! I felt so so pretty. No pockets though. 

I love love this dress! I wore it once for a date night and once for a fundraiser lunch. Perfect for both occasions. Very versatile. 

Love the fit.  It has gold woven in the fabric, beautiful paired with gold heels 

Wore this a couple times and got tons of compliments. Pretty unique in the detail. 

Wore this for a wedding and got so many compliments. The elastic in the waist made it more forgiving and the length was perfect. Beautiful dress!

 Dry pretty dress 
Good fit
I am between a 4/6, but in this brand typically a 6. 


Beautiful, comfortable, flattering dress. It was stretchy enough around the waist that I didn't need to use the zipper so maybe size down if you order a free second size. More beautiful fabric and details in person!

Not a great pic, but all we got at the end of the night. "Can you try to take a pic of my dress for the RTR review?" I loved wearing this dress with gold sandals and lots of gold jewelry. I wore it to a charity dinner and felt great. It's fairly low cut, I am 5'8" tall, 140ish and a v small c and changed to a minimizing bra so I didn't have to wear anything under it. It could look matronly with a larger chest or you would need something under. Fabric is great, color beautiful, quality 100. 

I wore this to a spring wedding and it is a very pretty dress. I was worried it wouldn't be dressy enough, but the metallic element makes it more dressy. It runs large in my opinion, especially in the chest. I wore a smaller size than I have worn in other Shoshanna dresses. 

Really pretty dress! It ran a little big on me and I’m a tried and true size 16/XL most of the time. The chest especially was a little loose making the v-neck pretty low so I was adjusting it a lot through the night. I liked it overall and got lots of compliments! 

I ordered a size 14 but probably could have gone one size down (not available). It's a great dress.

I wore this to a small family wedding. It’s very comfortable and flattering, even on my tall frame. I didn’t quite fill out the bust (I’m a 38B). I am usually a 12-14, but wore a size 10 mostly to get a better bust fit - it has a stretchy waist so there’s a lot of sizing flexibility. 

Would size down 2 sizes. More of a fall dress than summer because of how warm it was IMO

I am a true size 8 and this was too big, it was a beautiful dress but wish I would have sized down.

I’m the heaviest I’ve ever been and I’m usually just getting into a size 12 these days or I would have automatically ordered the 10. I wish I had. This was so loose, especially at the bust (which is where everything now is tight on me), that it made my boobs look droopy. I felt kind of frumpy all day in this. I probably won’t order again. Shoshanna dresses are generally some of my favorites, but this was a miss for me.

Loved this dress but didn’t end up wearing it. Very soft and comfortable, but felt and looked a little too big in the waist area. Might order again but in a smaller size.

While I regularly rent size 4s, there are many times when I am laughing while trying to push myself into a too small for me #4. This is the absolute opposite. I’m not sure if I got a fluke, but this dress was massively oversized and I couldn’t even find a way to style it or work around it. Just incredibly large. 

Wore this to a bridesmaids luncheon and it was great! My only complaint is that the sleeves were a little tight, but it didn’t keep me from wearing it! Loved the color!

The only reason I rated this 4 stars instead of five is because the chest was a bit big. I couldn’t go down a size because the arms would be too tight. Otherwise, I LOVED it! Super comfortable and lots of give to the fabric. I didn’t even realize there was a side zipper until I was returning it - it easily slid over my head. Flattering cut and the gold flecks made it look dressier.
