Perfectly complemented the Shoshanna dress!
Necklace is a great vibrant neon pink and really complements the Shoshanna Waterlily Louise dress. I rented both for a wedding in so cal and it was a hit! The necklace is not too heavy and doesn't snag on hair or anything. I would rent this combo again!

Fantastic dress - loved the print & wish I could keep it!
I absolutely loved wearing this dress to a summer wedding in So Cal!! The print is beautiful and the dress is very comfortable - made of a lightweight material. I think if I was taller, it might be a bit too short for my figure but it worked great for my petite height. I highly recommend getting the necklace with it as it's a perfect complement - i even ended up getting a manicure to match since the pink complemented the blues and greens in the dress so well! I also love dresses with pockets - will definitely rent again!!

Great summer dress!
This dress was super comfortable and fun to wear for my post-wedding brunch! The fabric lining is cotton with lace over the top. The lining is not super thick, so you have to wear nude or neutral underwear so it doesn't show through. The lace was in good condition and didn't snag too easily. The belt is pretty bright pink, but I didn't mind it. The dress is also more orange vs. coral, but I still really liked it.

Loved this dress - wish I could keep it!
This dress is SUPER comfortable and the pattern is absolutely beautiful! I felt so incredible wearing this dress to a wedding I attended. It's very unique and the size 12 fit really well!! I am normally a 10, but the size was just too tight for me. I would keep this dress if I could!

Nice dress for an outdoor party, but ribbing can get uncomfortable
The dress is beautiful and I loved the print! The size 10 was a little loose, even in the corseted bodice so I would size down if you are not sure. The fabric is thick and helps the dress retain its shape. The skirt has more of a poof than it looks like in the pic, but is very comfortable. My only issue was wearing this dress all day -- some of the ribbing in the corset had broken through the lining and would stab at my sides, particularly when sitting. If you are only going to wear it for a couple of hours, it's a great dress for an outdoor party.

Great value if you're going to rent multiple times
I'm getting married this year AND have a bunch of weddings to attend. The pro membership has been great as shipping and insurance is now included with each of my rentals. Renting dresses for all of the events has been MUCH more affordable than actually going out to buy dresses. And many of my events are on back to back weekends, so I always have a new style and don't have to repeat the same looks!

Great dress for a bridal shower!
The dress is more beige/nude than it looks in the photo, and the overlay lace has a LOT of silver and is very shiny in sunlight. The length was a bit short for my liking - the slip underneath hits about mid-thigh and the lace goes about 2 or 3 inches longer than that. Another thing to note is the slip is somewhat sheer so you need to be wearing nude or neutral undergarments. That said, it was a great dress for my family bridal shower!! It was very comfortable to wear all day and I got tons of compliments!

Perfect dress for my bridal shower!
The dress was the perfect thing to wear for my bridal shower! The site recommended sizing down, but the 10 fit pretty perfectly; if anything I would have ordered a size up. The dress if really fun and the lace is very nice and does not easily snag. The only minor issue is that this dress has a real petticoat. So the ruffles underneath sometimes peeked out, especially if I was sitting. There is a lot of fabric in the underskirt as well which makes it a little heavier, but it just took a little getting used to. I loved the dress and will likely rent it again for my wedding rehearsal!

Nice dress and material, but too short even for my petite frame.
I rented this dress as an option for my engagement shoot and I really loved the color and the fabric. However, the dress hit mid-thigh on my 5' 3" frame and was too short for me to be comfortable in. I ended up not wearing it and luckily had a back up-dress. I think it's a good option for taller people with lean legs.

Beautiful, comfortable dress for a spring or summer party!
I rented this dress for an Easter family gathering and it was perfect! The size 10 was a little tight in the bust, but no issues zipping up. The material was light and comfortable and it allowed enough room for me to enjoy the food without the waist band digging in. I got tons of complements from family members. I would definitely rent again!

Beautiful dress and color - ordered one size too big
The dress was beautiful, but they only had a size 12 available for the weekend and it was just too loose. I didn't end up wearing it, but I would rent again in the right size next time.

I rented this for my engagement photo shoot at a museum - it was the perfect dress for the venue!
I normally wear a size 10, but they were out of stock. The 12 actually fit perfectly so I got lucky there. It was a little tight in the arms, but fit great around the bust, waist and hips. Very comfortable to wear as we ran around the museum grounds taking pictures. The lace is a bit delicate and can get easily snagged, so best to be careful with it.
