Perfect for my rehearsal dinner!
Size worn: 0
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Party
This dress could not have been more perfect for my wedding rehearsal and rehearsal dinner. The lace was gorgeous and the fit was beautiful. The only complaint I have is that the under layer of the dress was a little longer than the top layer of lace so you couldn't see the scallop lace on the bottom very well. I ordered two sizes and this happened on both of them. I also think this dress runs a little large, but most Shoshanna dresses do, so I would recommend sizing down for your backup size. If you're thinking about renting this dress, DO IT! You will not regret it!

Size worn: 12
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
It fit like a true size 12, maybe even a little larger. The 10 may have even fit but it didn't arrive. There are 2 layers of lining inside but that made it feel nice and secure. I like the length, which was more like knee length on me instead of mid-thigh like the picture. Overall, I loved it! A great bridal shower dress!!!

Elegant, classic, chic!
Size worn: 6
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
I wore this dress for my bridal shower brunch in Chicago. The dress can also be worn for those looking to wear an elegant, but simple/classic dress for their actual wedding. I received many compliments on the dress, and some people (non-guests) thought that the dress was my actual wedding day dress.
The dress was true to size and was SUPER comfortable. I wore the dress with a white bra, and for those ladies who can't wear strapless bras, you can absolutely wear this dress with a white bra that has straps. Although you will see the bra straps behind the lace, it actually looks like it is part of the dress. I have a very hourglass/Latina curvy shape, but I feel like the dress complimented my shape versus making me look straight up & down the way some dresses do.
I paired the dress with the Come Fly with Me Veil and Silver Glitz Bangle Set. They were the perfect finishing touches to the outfit. I also wore the dress with silver chandelier earrings and rhinestone silver stilettos. All the accessories really help complete the outfit according to my own personal style (I love bling!). But, the dress can most certainly be accessorized with more basic pieces as well. Overall, the dress helped make my special day unique and truly made me feel like a beautiful bride-to-be!

Wedding Rehearsal Jackpot
Size worn: 2
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
This dress was extremely comfortable. Our wedding rehearsal and rehearsal dinner were both outside. The rehearsal was warm, and this dress was light weight enough to handle the heat. The dress does require a strapless bra. The chest was too tight for to wear the size 0, so I opted for the size 2 instead. I highly recommend this dress. It's delicate, timeless, and beautiful. I received so many compliments!

I wore this dress for my bridal shower and received many compliments on it. I paired it with the Mother of Pearl Bridal Belt which perfectly completed the look for which I was going! I felt the dress ran true to size and was even a little shorter than expected (I had to sit with caution while opening gifts!). Otherwise, this dress worked well for my big event!!

LOVE! Perfect for wedding-related events!
Size worn: 4
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
This dress was perfect for my wedding rehearsal and dinner. I had originally planned to make this my "party" dress at the wedding reception, but when it arrived I realized that the straight skirt wasn't very conducive to dancing. I ordered this dress in a 2 & 4. The 2 fit very nicely, but the 4 had a little more breathing room, so I opted for that one, as we were serving italian food (carb-loading ;)) at the rehearsal dinner. I felt amazing in it, and received many compliments! I wore this dress with the Ben Amun love letter earrings and it was a great combination. Thank you Rent the Runway!

Wonderful white lace dress for a bridal shower
Size worn: 6
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Other
I absolutely loved this dress for my bridal shower and got many compliments on the style. My only gripe about the dress I personally received is that the slip layer seemed a little long and was showing below the lace. I was able to tuck it up so that it wasn't showing but it seemed like someone might have thrown this in the wash (typically why that tends to happen). Overall though, it fit well and was true to size.

Bridal Shower Perfection
Size worn: 6
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Other
I wore this dress for my bridal shower and it was absolutely perfect. The lace is stunning and it fit like a glove. As far as size: I am 5'7" and between 135 and 140lbs. I range between a 4 and a 6; a 4 typically fits everywhere but my shoulders and bust. My shoulders are broad; i think an 'athletic build' is an appropriate description. I went with the 6 and happy that was my choice. When sitting and opening gifts, there was a slight tug across my neck but I believe that was due to how I was sitting and my broad shoulders. Really, I ended up barely noticing it. Thanks RTR!!

I wore this dress to my bridal shower and it was perfect. I ended up wearing the 6 because the 8 was a little damaged and while it fit, it was a little tight around my neck. I would definitely recommend this dress. Perfect length and very comfortable.

I loved this dress! I got numerous compliments throughout the night. The fit was very flattering and it's a perfect summer dress for any special event. I normally wear a size 6 but felt like the bust area was a little tight, so the 8 worked out much better for me. I would definitely recommend this dress!!

The length was perfect for me (I'm 5'2 and it fell right above the knee)
It is loose around the stomach - so if you are looking for a tighter dress you may want to size down
The slip does show, but I didn't find it to be a big deal - overall a classy and elegant dress, perfect for an engagement party or bridal shower!

This was a backup to a nude reem acra dress that wasn't the right color for me. Loved how this turned out in pictures though was a little off in fit in the back and there was some wear to it. If I didn't have such a big chest I think i could have fit in the 6. So if you're smaller up top you probably can wear your usual size.

Perfect for my Rehearsal Dinner--felt beautiful and bridal
Size worn: 4
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
Great first experience with RTR. I ordered this dress in a 4 and 2, hoping desperately I could wear one of them for my Rehearsal Dinner (I had a backup if not...) The 4 fit like a glove--not too short, great cinching at the waist, and not too tight on my back or boobs. My skin is super sensitive but I hardly noticed the lace; the dress was very comfortable. My main issue with the dress, as others have mentioned, is that the slip came below the lace part of the dress, so I had to get creative with "pinning" it up. This happened on both of my sizes, but with my own tweaking, I got compliments all night long.

Pretty but not memorable
Size worn: 6
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Party
The 6 was a little tight in the neck, but the 8 made me look boxy so I wore the 6. Both had the problem of the slip being longer than the lace which was even worse when I was sitting. No stretch in either the slip or lace, so everything rode up when I sat down. This dress was also cinched in a weird place for me because I'm so tall. I did like the length when I was standing and the back was interesting, but high enough for a strapless bra. I liked being able to rent it because I wouldn't wear it often, but it was perfectly bridal for my wedding shower.

Size worn: 4
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
This dress was amazing- even better than I expected it to be. Both sizes I ordered (4 & 6) fit very well and I actually wore them both, the 4 for the ceremony and the 6 out to dinner that night. I got so many compliments and felt like such a bride. I would recommend this dress to anyone looking for the perfect wedding dress to feel beautiful and elegant. It was both sexy and sophisticated - long enough almost to my knees and covered up top but sheer enough to feel pretty. I am 5'10, 133 pounds and fit great. Will definitely be renting from rent the runway again. The whole experience could not have gone any better!! Thanks rtr!!

Size worn: 10
Overall fit: True to Size

I ordered this dress to wear for my wedding reception, it was the perfect selection. It looks gorgeous in pictures but looks so much more gorgeous In person, I received so many compliments!!!
The dress is very true to size, I normally wear a 10 and that is the one that fit the best. The material is very light and overall the dress was comfortable and I didn't have to wear a bra with it as there was a built in one.
The only con would be that the lining was a little longer than the lace (I just tucked under the bra part and it fixed the problem!)
Overall, I am very happy that is is the dress I chose, excellent first experience with RTR! :-)

I rented this dress for my bridal shower.
Size worn: None
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
I got the 10 and 12, but ended up not wearing either dress even though both sizes fit me (the 10 was just a little snug). The lace was so itchy, especially around the neck line, and it made me feel claustrophobic. I ended up going shopping the next day to get a different dress to wear for my shower so I wouldn't have to wear this one. I really wanted to like the dress but it just was not comfortable at all.
The dress was long enough for me though, and it fit my chest size. Just so itchy!!

Overall fit: True to Size

Pros: the quality of lace is exquisite. Definitely not those stretchy kind of lace dress you find in the mall.
Cons: I had to iron the lace near shoulder and back area since they were curled up. It did look like it was worn before but some ironing helped refreshing the overall appearance. The bottom part looks a bit different from the picture as inside lining were longer than lace in front. Slight stitching helped holding up the lining where it supposed to be for that evening.

A beautiful Shoshanna dress for my rehearsal & grooms dinner!
Size worn: 10
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
I wore this dress for our rehearsal and grooms dinner for our wedding. Shoshanna has always been a good designer for me because I have larger hips and a smaller waist. This fit me perfectly! The built in bra was great. Like the other reviews said, the hem did show under the lace so I just pinned it up. The dress was super comfortable, didn't ride up at all. And at 5'7" it was the perfect length. I paired this with a Kate Spade sparkly gold clutch from RTR and got compliments all night long!

Con; when the dress arrived the lace detail did not lay correctly and I had to take to the dry cleaner to get pressed. It was great after that! As others have mentioned, the inner slip was too long.

I loved the style of the dress. However, I did have some functional issues. First, the straps in were too long in the back. Secondly, the lining was about 2-3 inches longer than the lace. Both issues were solved with some pinning. This was my first rental. If it becomes a regular occurrence I probably wont continue to rent. This issue was minor enough though that I'll give them another try in the future.

Perfection
Size worn: 10
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Party
I had THE hardest time finding the perfect dress for my engagement party. I came across this dress on RTR and thought it would fit my body perfect, and I was right! For someone who's very busty on top, and thinner on the bottom, this was perfect, as it lifted and shaped my figure. I will agree with the other comments that the slip underneath runs longer than the beautiful embellished lace, but with heels, you're good. Only thing I didn't like was the built in corset. There are some pictures of me where you can see the bottom of the corset popping through the dress. Otherwise, definitely recommend this to all shapes and sizes!

This classy dress was perfect for my outdoor wedding rehearsal. It was elegant and the lace detail was so beautiful! The dress is very fitting and comes with its own corset type thing so I didn't even have to wear a bra. It was easy to move in, but just a little too long for my petite build. I would highly recommend this dress to any bride-to-be!

Ordered a 2 and 4, could fit in both, the two was slightly too small in the chest ( am a 32 C) Over all I got a lot of complements and the dress was very pretty. I dressed it up with a belt. The Cons: The 4 had some wear around the sleeves, but was not that noticeable. The inner lining kept showing, I would recommend some hem tape for a quick fix .
