Cute and comfortable
Great maternity dress. For a backup, size down. The material is very soft and forogiving yet somehow looks fitted, so it will fit any baby bump without putting pressure on it. I’m 5’6 and the dress hit the top of my knees, so it’s conservative enough for any occasion.

Formal yet flirty
Perfect dress for a formal work dinner in Florida. I’m 5’6 and it hit just above the knee. The dress is almost a lightweight scuba material, so it hugs without being inappropriately tight. The waist seam is just below the bra line, and there’s a forgiving front pleat, so the dress fit well even though I’m 30 weeks pregnant. Very much true to size, but if you order a backup, go smaller. Plenty of room for busts and hips if you have them. Great rental overall!

Fitted and forgiving!
I’m 6 months pregnant and needed a dress for a charity event. Somehow this one was form fitting while still being comfortable. Good for anyone who needs to be able to move around in their dress or who needs extra room for boobs, hips, etc. Great length on my 5’6 frame (hit just above the knees), so this would be an awesome option for taller people. Really flattering cut around the shoulders, too. Pre-pregnancy, I would have worn a 4, so it’s definitely true to size. Enjoy it!

Cute, easy, versatile!
I'm 5'6, 130, athletic build, small B-cup. This dress was the perfect length and cut. I didn't have to wear a bra because there's a silk liner and the lace added enough texture on top. Wore it to an outdoor Colorado wedding and it was perfect. Can be dressed up or down.

Cute & Easy
It arrived too late for me to bring it on vacation, but I tried it on right before I sent it back and it's super cute. Easy to wear, airy fabric, and not too short like some other rompers. The elastic has a tie in the back so you can make it tighter or looser. There's no chance of it ever falling down. If anything, it wants to creep up over your shoulders. Super comfy. I'll definitely want to try and rent it again.

Loved it so much, I bought it! (...elsewhere)
Obsessed with this designer. All dresses fit relatively the same. It's like bodycon made of spanx. I usually wear a 4, but I ordered a 6. (The difference is skin tight vs. fitted.) As a small B cup, I didn't have to wear a bra. Hugs you in all the right places, just short enough to make you feel sexy without feeling inappropriate, super flattering cut at the shoulders.

Gorgeous. A statement without being too loud.
Perfect accent to the dress I was wearing. Accentuated the neckline. Chain is thick but not in a bad way. It's designed to hang above the sternum, so don't get this if you're hoping for a bib-necklace look.

Best. Dress. Ever!
Of all my RTR dresses, this was my favorite. From the pattern to the lace detail around the edges to the fit, it's the most fun, flattering and festive dress I've ever worn. It's cut in around the shoulders, too, which is really flattering to the arms. The length was perfect (not too long, not too short) and the cut is made for someone with a boy-ish figure. It tapers in at the waist, even in the back, which accentuated my butt. Who can ask for more, right?

Cute, fun, bright.
Fits like another Shoshana dress I rented for a wedding (Teal Pearl of Wisdom). Amazing dress. Sturdy, almost iridescent fabric gives it a formal flair. Runs slightly small. I usually wear a 4, but I ended up wearing a 2 in this dress. It was also a half an inch shorter than I expected it to be (creeping up past mid-thigh). I'm 5'6, so any shorter and it would have been inappropriate.

Classy, flirty, fun, sparkly.
Rented this dress for an outdoor wedding in Florida. With gold sandals, it was very elegant yet youthful. The fabric has some structure to it, which presented the only drawback--the pleats in the skirt were fairly wrinkled when I got the dress and, despite my attempt to iron them, remained that way. Once I was up and moving, you couldn't really tell, but it bothered me initially. Aside from that, the fit was great and the colors were gorgeous. This dress definitely stood out.

For when you want to be sexy and elegant
It's short. I won't lie to you. But with sheer stockings and black heels, it was a perfect fit. Combined with the sleeves and neckline, it totally worked. I felt sexy AND formal. The black ribbing was my favorite party. I got a size small (which I usually wear) and medium. Opted for the medium because the thick fabric doesn't stretch much. If you have large breasts, you'll probably feel pretty constricted. Again, fabric doesn't give. Overall, one of my favorite RTR dresses.

Cute, Classy, Fun!
Amazing dress, perfect for the Spring wedding I went to. Sturdy, almost iridescent fabric gives it a formal flair. Runs slightly small. I usually wear a 4, but I ended up wearing a 2 in this dress. It was also a half an inch shorter than I expected it to be (creeping up past mid-thigh). I'm 5'6, so any shorter and it would have been inappropriate. All in all, it's one of my favorites!

I wish I could keep this dress!
One of the most amazing dresses I've ever worn. The pink shift doesn't leave much wiggle room, so get your size and a size up just in case. It's a "work appropriate" length but the black lace makes it sexy--so fun to wear! I'd say there's room for a C bust but not much more. Again, the pink slip isn't stretchy at all. It's tight around the thighs, which is fine and makes it slimming, but just good to note.

The compliments
I rented this for my company holiday party and it was perfect! A great fit all around. Very flattering. The fabric around the bust allows for C-cups, but I'm a small B so I filled the space with one of those stick-on bras. Worked beautifully.

So much fun to dance in!
I rented this dress for a formal winter event and it was great! The dress is beautiful and a much more vibrant blue than is pictured. The length is appropriate but still sexy. There's plenty of room in the bust for C's, and there's a slip to put padding for smaller sizes. The dress is very fitted but the ruched fabric gives it a smooth, classy fit.
