This dress for beautifully! It was a heavy think dress, prefect for winter event. I'm shirt and the length with heels was perfect. 

Perfect length for petites and such a flattering silhouette- got so many compliments. It's also super comfortable. Has a built in bra that hooks at the back too!

Based on other reviews, I ordered the size 8, and it was comfortable at the neck and I could sit for dinner. Felt great and got compliments.

This dress was amazing. I love that I was able to wear without a bra, which never happens. I felt beautiful all night and got so many compliments. It’s a dark blue with a beautiful floral pattern making it stand out amongst a sea of black dresses. I originally wanted it to be floor length, so it was a little short with a high heel, but I ended up liking that you could see my cute shoes. I highly recommend for a wedding or formal occasion. 

I thought it wasn't going to fit and was worried that I wasn't going to have a dress because I really did not like the other 2 I ordered.  I LOVED this dress and it fit beautifully and I got soooo many compliments!!!  I will definitely be renting this dress again!!!

The quality of this dress was top notch. It fit like a glove and ran TTS, although it was a bit stiff to sit in for long periods of time and my shoulders were sore after taking it off from the halter top. I ordered the long but the tag didn’t say it was a long, so I think I ended up with a regular length, which actually worked out fine as an ankle length dress. 

Overall, stunning dress though and would recommend! 

i still dream about this dress! so classy, timeless, and flattering

I wore this gown to a black tie wedding. I wear a size 8 in “regular” clothes and ordered a 10r and 12r. Both sizes fit but I decided to go with the 12 to allow some space to eat! I am 5’ 6 1/2” and wore 2 inch heels and the length was about perfect. As others have commented, the fabric is heavy but it was perfect for the late fall wedding which also had an outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour. 

I am 61 and felt the dress was very age appropriate yet not matronly-always a challenge to find this sweet spot. As others mentioned, there is a built in bra and the zipper was somewhat difficult so requires assistance. I received a lot of compliments and very happy I chose this gown. 

Classy, elegant, timeless. The fabric is absolutely beautiful — and photographs so, too. Compliments all night! 

I have a very large rib cage, so did have to order a couple sizes up. I would typically wear an 8 but had to size up to a 12. This dress was so easy to wear. 

 113 lbs, athletic with an hour glass shape. I wore 4 1/2 heels and length was perfect.

I got so many compliments. I wore to a black tie wedding. I sized up in the dress. My only advice is the neck is fitted. If that bothers you that is something to consider. I would definitely rent again. Loved it and it made me happy.

This dress fit me perfectly, the length was just right even though I wore flats. Strapless bra helped. It was easy to move for dancing. I loved it. 

Loved the whole process.  All 5 dresses were beautiful but this one was the standout.  

Wore this to a black tie event and it was perfect. Received tons of compliments. I ordered a 2R and a 2P and ended up opting for the 2P. It was flattering and comfortable the whole night. Unique, too! The material is pretty thick, which I liked because it kept me warmer.

Beautiful dress. It’s made of quality heavy material that helps the dress to look expensive and well made. It hugs the body well but not tight and is very flattering. The neck was a little tight and there wasn’t any give. If you have a larger chest you will probably have to size up. 

Pretty royal blue, great cut and high quality fabric which helped tuck my stomach.  I wore a strapless bra and heels.  

I usually go down a size in Shoshanna, but this was TTS for me, maybe a tad large in the torso but the bust was perfect, could not have gone smaller.  Perfect for black tie wedding

This dress was beautiful & comfortable to wear. I'm 5'5 and 114 lb in this picture and wore size 4R. 

Gorgeous, classy, elegant. The only size available was 10L and it worked out perfectly (planned on renting 8R or 10R). With the 10, I had a bit of room so didn't have to worry about any stomach showing after eating and drinking and didn't need a bra! The length was perfect for me (longer legs than torso) and especially with heels. Wore this for a wedding and got so many compliments 

Perfect for a black tie wedding. I received so many compliments. The dress was very structured so no need to wear a bra. 

It got a little tight around the neck after dancing all night but overall great and no need for bra 

I ordered this last minute for a black tie wedding. The dress worked out great. My only wish was that the waist was slightly more form fitting for my build. Otherwise, would recommend to others.

Wore to a wedding and got so many compliments. Loved it. 

The inner corset back really holds you in and helps make the zipping process easier hut I would encourage you to have a second person to help. Its pretty true to size as I am typically between 4 and 6 but may run small if you have a broad upper body. The hips fit snugly on me which is usually my sizing issue.

I sized up for petite and although it was a little bit loose it was incredible comfy and it's so well made it looked comfortably fitted. Would wear it again! Absolutely loved the detail and the color.

Fits perfectly, very flattering. Only complaint is that it's heavy and hot 

This dress fit me perfectly. I have never received more compliments at a wedding! I'm 5'3" and wore about a 2" heel. It was a great length. I was worried about it being restrictive on my legs but it wasn't at all.

I ordered a 0R and a 2P and I hate to admit it, but I can't remember which one I wore, but they both fit nearly the same..like a glove (but one was tighter around the neck-sorry i'm not remembering which one!). Lots of support in the bust area so no bra needed and very flattering for shoulders and waistline, but never got a full-length shot. I did have a 3 inch heel on and it wasn't overly long, but I did have to keep a hand on the bottom on the dress and just be mindful of the hem since it was lace. I really loved it and would recommend.   

Truly the most beautiful thing I’ve ever worn! SO obsessed with this dress. I’d say it does run a bit small, I’m in between a 6&8 but have a larger chest and the 10 fit like a GLOVE. It has a built in bra that was actually supportive.  Truly 10/10!!! 

Wore for a black tie wedding and got so many compliments!

The size above my typical fit perfectly and I received tons of compliments. Would consider this a good “standing dress” not as great for sitting down. Has a built in bra which is a plus!!

I absolutely loved wearing this dress to a formal gala. The length was perfect for 3 inch heels, and it fit perfectly. The color is actually a very dark blue (it can look black in photos), with black underlay which makes it more than just another "black dress." I received a lot of complements as well. 

I worn this dress to our company gala and it was perfect. I am 5’9” so the long one worked out better for me. I could squeeze into a medium but since the dress is shaped very well so it wasn’t necessary to be snug, so I went for L to have a bit more breathing room. You don’t need bra and it wasn’t necessary super comfortable. 

This dress is one of my absolute favorites I have ever worn!!! The fabric is velvety and structured so you feel secure in the dress. There is also an inner corset under the fabric on top that holds you in and supports the “girls” - I didn’t even need to wear a bra, bonus! Easy to dance in too. Very comfortable.

This dress had a great structure, which made it feel super formal. I received a few compliments! Runs true to size. The neck part kind of hurt a bit throughout the night. Other than that, I loved it!

Fabric is a bit heavier than expected, not recommended for a summer event. 

I received many compliments on this beautiful, high-quality dress. It was the perfect fit all around, the perfect length and incredibly flattering. I loved how it held in my tummy but was still so comfortable. The only reason to not give it a 5 was that the size 4R dress zipper was too short -- it seemed mis-sewn -- and it was VERY hard to take off as a result. (At least I only had to take it off twice -- to try it on and to wear it for my event!)

Really loved the look of this dress and got SO many compliments on it. However, I have a bigger booty and this caused the under layer of the dress to ride up- a lot- all night long. Even bunched up over my butt at one point- good thing I was wearing spanx! A less curvy girl probably wouldn't have this issue, but just be aware! Also very glad I got the backup in a size up bc the 8 was way too tight on me, 10 was snug

The dress is heavy but was very comfortable, even to dance in. 
The pattern on the lace was gorgeous! Received lots of compliments.
I tried 6P first and it was snug enough but not tight that I didn't even try on the 4P. 
You will definitely need a second person to help you with the hook in the inner layer of the dress.

The 2P was perfect for a black tie wedding in November. Not too tight, zipped up no problem (with my partner’s help). Got many compliments, including from the bride. Length was just right too for a short girl. I wore 2 inch nude heels, and the gown just hit right. 

I rented this for a formal/black tie optional wedding in September and it was perfect! I loved the structure and the length. Because of the high neck line and back, I felt so put together and sleek. Highly recommend for anyone else looking for something sleek and formal. Probably best for people with smaller chest sizes

I usually wear a size 2 however I’m 3 months postpartum and a size 6 was perfect 

Got lots of compliments. Good length for my petite frame and height. Wore with 4 inch heels, any shorter and it might have just been on the floor a little bit. Fit well, had a little breathing room. Great formal dress, but not my absolute favorite as I often like something with a slit, but that’s personal preference. Perfect for the occasion. 

Perfect Length in Petite for 5'4.
Comfortable and loved it for black tie wedding.
Zipper a little tough-definitely need help.

Perfect length for 5’7 or 5’8 if you want to wear flats. Hit right below my ankle & I wore bejeweled flats. 

This dress is a little heavy and the zipper was a little challenging going up and down—but once I got into it—it was amazing. I wore this to a September black tie preferred wedding and it was perfect. I got many compliments and I felt great wearing it! I paired it with gold block heel sandals, a gold purse and small gold and diamond hoop earrings.

If taller than 5’8 order a long! I am 5’10 and it was almost too short. Dress was perfect! Size 10 worked best. 

The only bad thing about this dress is the zipper. Heavier material, but perfect for a fall wedding. Deciding between this one and another option. 

got so many compliments, it fit perfectly. I had it on for about 12 hours so the neck got a little tight by the end of the night but it’s such high quality it was worth it.

I am always incredibly impressed every time I rent a dress from this designer! 
Guarantee you’ll love it!!

I enjoyed wearing this dress to a ball. It was a great fit on the top and waist. The fabric is comfortable too. I recommend it!

This dress screams timeless elegance. I wore it to a black tie event in Chicago and got a lot of compliments. I wore the 10 and it fit, but was almost a bit big around the mid-section (I'm more pear-shaped than apple-shaped) - however I'm not sure if the 8 would have been too small (I ordered the 10 and the 12). All in all, I was massively pleased with this rental and highly recommend this dress!
