Shoshanna

Beautiful raspberry color that will really make you stand out at whatever event you wear it for. Like most people said, the straps were too long and loose but I dealt with it because the dress was so flattering. The dress also has a built in bodice so you can wear it with or without a strapless bra.

Sorry about the quality of the photo! The dress is absolutely gorgeous. It looks red in the photo, but it is actually a true HOT PINK! Such a beautiful color.. I wore this to my fiance's med school ball and received so many compliments. The lace detail is so pretty, and the color is bright and cheery! My dress even had the original tag on it, so I got to be the first to wear it. Fit: I was really worried that the 0 and 2 would be too small for me. While my dress was in the mail, I frantically researched Shoshanna size charts and fit guides and convinced myself that the dress wasn't going to fit. I have a tiny waist and larger hips, so I was concerned the dress would be too tight on my hips. I was relieved to find that the 0 fit me perfectly in the hips! It was a little large in the top, but I'm only a 32B. I'm only 5'2" so was also worried it would be too long, but it hit me just in the right spot. Customer Service: I ordered the dress a week before I needed it, and it shipped early. I freaked out thinking my rental time would be shortened (it was my first rental!), but it wasn't at all. I called RTR, and she assured me my rental was due on the orignal due date. I highly recommend RTR! (:

The dress fit perfectly and the color was so vibrant. I got tons of compliments in this dress and wish that I could have kept it! If you are much taller than me, the dress could be too short (depending on the event), but it was a great length for my height. Overall, I loved this dress!

This dress is beautiful! The color is very bright, it's more of a hot pink then a watermelon color. It's gorgeous! The neckline is a bit high, but it's not uncomfortable. The back is sexy! It comes to a V and it's a little lower then most dresses. It has a built in bra that doesn't help- you can get away with wearing a nude color bra for extra support. I wore one and u can barely see it. The wiring in the bra area had to be adjusted, but u can shape it any way u want to be more comfortable. I am about 5'3 and the dress was right at my knees. I am usually an 8, but in Shoshanna dresses I always wear a 6.

I ordered a 2 and 4 but unfortunately could not wear either. I should have known better - I have a short torso and struggle with dresses with a set-in waist - there's always too much fabric at the shoulders. The 4 was a bit large all over and the 2 fit, except for the shoulders and back. Even with tape I would not have been able to make it work. The dress is a gorgeous red/deep pink. If I had been able to wear it I might have added a belt of some sort as it looked a little plain.

This is such a pretty dress. I rented the 0 and the 2, and wore the 0. I found it fit comfortably, and wasn't snug. The color is definitely more of a hotter pink than a watermelon (as shown in the picture, which, I APOLOGIZE for the selfie -- I'm not into them very much usually, but wanted to show off the color in this picture), and it hit about an inch or two above my knee. The only thing I wasn't crazy about with this dress is, although I am a little bit of a pencil figure, because of it's fit, it really just kind of "hung" off of me, and made me look like a straight pencil, it didn't give ANY curves at ALL. I wore the denim jacket with it though, which a) dressed it down a bit, and b) helped with the non-curve situation. But a really pretty dress!!!

Dress fit like a glove for the DC southern delegation "Taste of the South Gala." The boning is mildly uncomfortable, but the dress was SO worth it.

this dress is so beautiful! You will definitely impress in this dress! Fits like a glove. Although for me personally it was a little too tight around the ribcage area but that's an issue I always have because of my athletic built. Would definitely recommend this dress.

This was my first experience with RTR and it was so rewarding. I originally ordered a different dress that just didn't fit correctly. After a short freak out, I called for help and found the costumer service outstanding. Not only did they overnight me a new dress, but the wonderfully helpful stylist suggested this beautiful dress! I have a hard time finding dresses that fit because I am 5'9", have a long torso and hips. This dress fit like a glove and I received so many complements. Thank you RTR, I am renting again for another wedding in August!

I received tons of compliments and the vibrant color made it even more of a stand-out. Also, the fit was just right so that it was flattering as well as comfortable for dancing around all night.

Beautiful dress. I loved the color and the fit. The only con was the straps were a little big on me. I tried using fashion tape and it keep coming undone and my hair was getting stuck to the tape. I gave up on the tape and just went with it. Had a lot of compliments too!

I loved this dress and will rent it again. It's perfect for a summer wedding and was a sexy, without being inappropriate.

I rented this dress for one of my bridal showers because it was almost the exact same color as my bridesmaids dresses and one of the main accent colors for my wedding. I loved the lace overlay and the fit was so flattering with the v-front and v-back neckline. The only thing that bothered me a little bit was that the straps were a little loose and would slip off of my shoulder occasionally, but it wasn't that big of a deal and I still completely adore this dress. I received so many compliments throughout the bridal shower too...I think I just got a whole bunch of people in Southern Louisiana addicted to RTR!

I wore a size zero and I found that this dress ran large in the chest so the straps didn't lay correctly and consequently the lace detail didn't lay perfecting either. I felt like it was cut for more of a curvier girl as opposed to my shape (straight/narrow). That issue aside, I was very pleased with the dress, it's cute, fun, and classy. Also - the color is more a true pink than watermelon (or at least I thought so).

The dress was very pretty, however, if you have a short torso the boning can hit in an uncomfortable spot and the v back will be a little too large. The straps will definitely fall down too. But definitely still a great dress. I ordered the 4 and it was suggested to rent your second a size down and the 2 was definitely easier to wear for a petite person. A great experience with RTR!

The color was gorgeous but the fit was a little uncomfortable- stiff and the waist was tight in some spots and too loose in others. The straps were too big and kept sliding off my shoulders and as a result of being so big, my strapless bra showed occasionally (no chance I could go without one.) I also had to iron the lace on the neckline to keep it from folding into the dress. Overall the quality of the dress itself was obviously high and many people commented on how much they liked it. If I rented a Shoshanna again, I'd get one that fell loose after the waist instead of being structured throughout. If you order an extra size, order one down.

This was my backup dress for a May wedding and unfortunately I couldn't make it work. The color is gorgeous, and the lace is really feminine. Unfortunately as the other reviewers state, the straps run way large. They didn't have a 6 when I rented but typically I can make an 8 work because of my bust, but this was just way too big.

True to size, the dress was immaculate! Clean lines and a light sweater for the spring winds made for a head turning look even on a 60 year old!

The size 0 fit perfect other than the shoulder area was a bit loose, not enough to cause issues for me. It is very flattering on. Received so many compliments. I was concerned about the length as I am 5'2" but it was perfect. No bra necessary as it has built in support. Highly recommend!!

I loved this dress and wanted to keep it! I am usually an 8 in shoshanna dresses and this fit true to size for me. The back is a little bit low though, so instead of a regular bra I wore a strapless one and had to pull it lower in the back and pin it to the dress so it wouldn't show. Otherwise worked great and didn't want to send it back!

Runs large. Definitely get a smaller back up size. Just as other reviewers have said the straps are kind of big so fashion tape is a good idea. Other than that, really loved this dress.

Was in between sizes so i went with the 4, which was lose around waist and bust. Beautiful color though just wish it fit me a little better!

This dress fit me to a T - it was true to size and hugged my curves. No bra was needed as one was built in. I also LOVED the color - it is more of a vibrant watermelon color, but looks GORGEOUS on. Great dress!

Wore this to an outdoor wedding and received so many compliments! I did have to wear a strapless bra with it, but it worked great even with the lower back

I rented this as a back-up dress for a black tie wedding. My first choice worked out, but I also ended up not wearing this at all that weekend because of a few issues. First of all, I echo what other reviewers said about the straps being too long. Also, what you can't tell in the photos is that you need to wear a strapless bra with this - it is essentially a strapless dress with a lace overlay. In addition, the lace was pretty worn and threadbare along the hem, and the lace along the neckline curled under and did not lay flat. Fortunately, I was staying a block away from the Henri Bendel showroom and was able to exchange this dress for another Shoshanna dress that worked beautifully for another wedding function.

This was my first RTR dress, and I haven't stopped talking about it sense! I received a ton of compliments, I felt great in it and it was a breeze to return. It is a tad more pink than the picture makes it out to be, and it also is a little lower in the back than the picture shows. I would recommend highly!!

I LOVED the color of this dress even more than anticipated. Fit PERFECTLY. I am 5'9" and was the perfect length- not too long, not too short. It was very comfortable and I did not need to wear a bra due to how the dress was structured. Received MANY compliments!

The dress is a beautiful color, it was more of a hot pink and I was expecting a bit more of a red tone. Regardless it fit well and I was comfortable in it. Great for a summer wedding and my first rent the runway experience !

This dress was perfect for a summer wedding! The color is absolutely stunning in person, and the lace details are gorgeous. I ordered both a size 2 and 4, and I ended up wearing the 4 because it felt more comfortable to dance in. Although several reviews mentioned that the straps kept falling down, I didn't have any problems with them. I was very sad to send this one back.

I run between a size 2 & 4. A size 2 wasn't available, so the 4 was slightly loose, especially at the shoulders & bust. The shoulders were a bit wide, so I felt more comfortable wearing a shawl to keep it from slipping off. Otherwise, very comfy! As other people have said, the color is bright and more pink/watermelon than red. Also, when I received the dress, the eyelet lace along the neckline kept on curling inward. I scotch taped the eyelets out onto the garment bag overnight & it fixed the problem.

The lace trim on the neckline appears much more substantial and wide in the online photo than in reality. The short, flimsy lace trim along the shoulders and neckline turned in on itself in several spots and laid flat in other spots, giving the neckline the appearance that the lace trim had been cut off in spots. Really unattractive. It was like that on both the 10 and the 12. Now I know why the photos of others who'd worn it looked like the lace edging was missing! Also, I'm long-waisted and the waist on this dress hit me in the middle of my rib cage half way between my natural waist and my bust. I'm 5' 8" and 168 pounds. I usually wear a size 12, but this dress' skirt was too tight fitting to be worn with out slimming undergarments. In a panic I called customer service but was told no one could answer my call and to call back or email them. I tried to call back twice more within the hour and go the same recording. So, I emailed them my predicament. I received an email back very quickly requesting a list of replacement dresses in order of preference. They were able to overnight me my first choice of a size 12 replacement that fit perfectly. Relief!

I ordered the size 2 and it seemed to fit everywhere... except the shoulders were way too big. There was about 2" of extra fabric there and if I let it hang down it created a weird extra flap. I had to return it. Would have been a great dress otherwise. The color and lace were pretty. Not a good choice for someone with petite shoulders.

I rented this dress for a black tie optional gala (husband wore a tuxedo) and LOVED IT! Strangers stopped us to say how great we looked and compliment this dress. The color is definitely a bright pink watermelon and we stood out in the crowd, but the lace and scalloped edges gave it a sophisticated, elegant look that earned even the MIL and SIL seal of approval. As other reviewers have mentioned, the dress runs large. I am normally a size 4 and would have preferred the 2, but it wasn't available. The 4 fit well enough, but I recommend sizing down as it was a bit big. The length was perfect, mid-to-lower thigh, not too short (as was the other Shoshanna dress I had ordered as back-up in case the 4 was too large to wear). For pairings I opted for statement earrings and a rhinestone bracelet. Paired it with silver jeweled flats (again, outdoor event and wedges were just too casual). I highly recommend this dress! Absolutely loved it!!!

Dress fit true to size, I had to wear a backless bra with it due to the low, but it was so perfect!

This dress ran slightly large in the top area and the zipper on the 0 was really sticky at the seam otherwise it was a perfect fit!

I was the personal attendant at my friend's wedding and I wanted a dress that I would be comfortable in all day and not too hot since it was a July wedding. This dress did not disappoint! The dress is very flattering and looks great in pictures. I feel like the dress would look great on anyone! The fabric is ideal for a summer wedding because it's not too thick. I fit into a size 6, but it was a bit tight in the bust area so I opted to wear an 8 which was more comfortable, but it was unfortunately really loose in the straps. As others have said in their reviews, the straps often slide down off the shoulders, but that's really my only complaint! Super cute dress! I had many people ask where I got the dress and then comment that they wanted to rent it too!

I loved this dress! The lace is high quality and the color is stunning! The dress does run large though - I had to pin the straps up a bit so it would fit right - but so worth it! I received tons of compliments - everyone loved this dress!

I'm 5'5 and the length was great for a wedding. It was a little tight in the bust and looser in the waist. If you have more of an hourglass figure, it may be a bit of a difficult fit. I wore a 0 and had a tough time zipping the top, but the next size up was too loose in the waist. The straps also fell down a bit. Fashion tape would help. Because it has many layers it was a little hot for an outdoor summer wedding. Overall though, it is a great dress!! I would definitely wear it again. The fit was classy but fashionable and comfortable to wear!

Fit great

The fit was perfect. The color gorgeous for the summer, I ordered it for a back up dress, but I wore the other dress instead. Too bad I couldn't do a wardrobe change during the wedding ;). But it is beautiful. The neckline is really nice, shows off a little bit but conservative enough to wear to possibly going to a church wedding. will def rent this again for a first and only pick!
