Replacement bridesmaid dress
Thank goodness for rent the runway! Tailor ruined my bridesmaid dress for my sister's wedding. This was a very different style but the perfect navy color! Lace added wonderful texture too. I felt like the top fit a bit looser than the bottom (but might just be on my body!)--no bra necessary. Wonderful dress!

Gorgeous color, fabulous sleeves, comfortable all night!
Great dress--I got many compliments! Doesn't give you much shape, but it hangs nicely for a casual look. Runs on the large size, but I went with my usual size 4. Heavier material was nice--no sweat lines in the summer and no wrinkles either! I would rent again. Great dress for a dinner party (doesn't ride up when sitting and not tight in midsection).

Breathtaking Color
Dress runs large. The XS was a tighter fit (and looked better!), but since I would be sitting during dinner I went with the S. Not my favorite, but I would rent again for another date! Not ideal for a ton of moving/dancing because the length hit me around the knees and was a little restrictive.

Sexy and Flattering
I've been renting for three years, and this is hands down my favorite rental yet. I was a little nervous about trying out a romper, but this is a winner. The black lace and cutouts were sexy but understated. It is definitely short, but the sleeves even it out. It is challenging to zip/unzip by yourself, but doable if you don't have a friend in the bathroom (just takes an extra minute). Both the 4 and 6 fit, but I went with the 6 to have some extra room in the waist at dinner.

Stunning fit
Rented this dress for a mid-winter trip to Florida. It was cooler than expected, so I paired it with an army-green jacket, and wore flat sandals to dress it down for the beach. The slightly-longer length (to my knees at 5'4") offset the curve-clinging material and subtle cutouts in a perfect way. The dress would also have been stunning dressed up with tall heels. No undergarments necessary, though a strapless bra would have been easy to wear. I recommend getting a size smaller for backup, as part of the dress's fun is the tight-fitting material. I would definitely rent again!

Stunning but comfortable
Wore for anniversary brunch. So comfortable! Would be perfect for a wedding or dancing event, or really anything. I loved the rose color with gold detailing. Gorgeous!

Perfect for first wedding anniversary
Beautiful lace! The color in person is more taupe and less white, with ivory overlays. I used some double sided tape and had some revealing cleavage, but still very tasteful. Would rent again. I sized up for my anniversary dinner, but would have sized down if I was going to be standing all evening.

Perfect dress for my bachelorette!
I'd previously rented the longsleeve version of this dress, which I loved, but I might have loved the sleeveless version even more! I styled with black heels. My underarms got a little scratched up, but that's to be expected with any sequined dress. Looks great in person and maybe even better in photos! Definitely runs large, but it was nice having the extra room when seated during dinner.

Gorgeous lace!
The dress is a gorgeous, rich navy blue. It definitely runs smaller than most Shoshanna dresses that I've rented, and it is short! If you'll be sitting a lot, I'd suggest going a size up or consider renting a different dress. The length was great for standing, however, and dancing as well.

Lightweight dress, gorgeous print
I ordered the 4 and the 6, but wound up going with the 6 because it seemed significantly longer (even though it was definitely looser in the bodice). I didn't mind the bodice looseness in the humidity, however. The dress is very lightweight, which was perfect for a mid-summer Louisiana wedding. I got several compliments, and would recommend this dress for any summertime event.

Beautiful (and comfortable) graduation dress
I wore this for my law school graduation. The dress was amazing. It was comfortable and cute. I only wished I hadn't needed to wear my graduation robe over it.

Great pop of color!
The material is on the heavier side, but it was great for an early March trip to Nashville. I paired it with cowboy boots and was comfortable all night. This is definitely a less formal dress, but was great for a night of dancing at the honky tonk bars.

Zipper would not stay up
I wasn't able to wear this dress because the zipper would not stay up. There is no hook and eye, so every time I moved my shoulders, the zipper would start to unzip. Definitely a disappointment, because the green lace was gorgeous.

Felt like a princess all night long
I got so many compliments on this wonderful dress. The material is heavier, but I wore this dress for a semi-formal event in November, so it worked perfectly for me. The silver sequins are gorgeous, and the long sleeves were great because I didn't have to worry about scratching my arms on the sequins. I would give this 6 stars out of 5 if possible!

Classy and Timeless!
I wore this dress for a semi-formal event, and I loved it. I'm bustier, but the 4 (my usual size) fit perfectly, and I didn't have to wear a bra. I paired it with black suede wedges and a chunky silver necklace I also rented from RTR (Lee Angel Silver Etienne Necklace). A fun necklace is a must for this dress!

Gorgeous dress, but super comfortable as well. I wish I could buy this one!
Good length for my boyfriend's company's holiday party. Just the right amount of sexy, too.
