Really small in the rib cage
I was SO excited to get this dress for a fancy Lake resort vacation. Unfortunately it was just way too small in the rib cage and bust. I could zip it but couldn't breathe. I got the largest size so there was no chance in getting a bigger size. Other than that - it's such a fun & beautiful dress! Lightweight and unlined. Great for summer (although would be even better in some summer colors).

Gorgeous dress, husband approved.
My husband was obsessed with this dress! I ended up not wearing it because I thought it was going to be too formal for the wedding so I wore a different dress. I got a 14R and I think it was very flattering on a curvier woman! Would recommend for a more formal wedding.

Pretty but chest too small.
I loved this dress so much and was so disappointed it didn't fit. The chest area was WAY too small, which was especially disappointing because Shoshanna usually tailors their clothes for larger busted women. I got the largest size so unfortunately this just won't work for me.

Loved but ended up not wearing.
This dress was SO pretty and it has pockets! The only reason I didn't wear was because I thought it was a little too tight around the top and gave me some back fat. But I highly recommend and think it's gorgeous! If you rent two sizes, I'd get your normal size & 1 size up.

Prettier in person!
I bought this dress as a 'chance' dress and I ended up liking it so much more in person. I will say, I don't think it photographs that well. On the model and on me! But in person-super pretty. Love a good floral & lace dress.

Super cute but formfitting
I got this dress to wear for a family event but I just didn't feel confident in it. Ordered the XL which fit well, if not maybe slightly big. The only problem is, the bottom half is very fitted which is great for the butt but not so great if you don't have a flat stomach. I didn't think I could pull it off.

Pretty but HUGE
This dress runs SO big. I usually wear a 14-16 in RTR dresses but this one, I probably would have needed a 10. It's a shame I couldn't wear it for my event because it was so pretty!

Comfy, every day shirt with a lot of cleavage.
This shirt was very cute for everyday wear. I wore it with white jeans, heels and fun earrings to make it a little bit more interesting. Hides any 'extra fluff' you may have in the midsection, which is always nice. My only complaint was that it was super boobalicious (and I wore it to a family event!). I didn't realize it until I started wearing it and realized that the middle just kept popping open.

Pretty but runs very small
I got this to wear to a work event but unfortunately it was too small. Like, way small. Every inch of it was clung to my body. I'd say size up 2 sizes.

Dress not make correctly
It's not crazy obvious in the photo but this is a wrap dress. Not a true/100% wrap dress, as the dress is technically attached at the top, at the bust. My biggest complaint was that the wrap part was in the wrong place on the dress. In the pic, the wrap part ties on the side of the dress (as a typical wrap dress does), but this wrap dress started and ended right smack in the middle of the dress - as if it was made wrong. So disappointing because it was a really pretty dress. Just major fail on the design.

Super cute summer dress!
I absolutely loved the fit of this dress. The only downside (for me) was that I don't have the most 'fit' back so it was really unflattering in the back and I had to wear a shirt over it. I loved the dress so much that I didn't care. The only reason I gave this dress 1 4 star and not 5 star was because it has a lot of 'shiny' thread throughout it, which I did not realize, nor can you tell from the pic. Not my jam but I really liked the dress otherwise.

Super comfortable & cute
I was a little nervous that this dress would only look good on someone very slim but I loved it so much I thought I'd give it a try anyway! I am a curvy woman and not slim but was pleasantly surprised by how much I loved this. It's sooo comfortable and has pockets!!! Super soft fabric. I would wear every day. I gave it a 4 star because the top section was way too small compared to the rest of the dress. Even for the size 3R, I couldn't button a single button. on the top portion. I had to wear open with a tank underneath.

So pretty & soft!
So heartbroken this was too tight on me. I got for a daytime MDW party but it was just too tight on me, for the event. The dress was incredibly soft, very feminine and I highly recommend! Wish I could've worn.

Runs very large
Pretty dress but the size I got was 2 sizes too big. (that has NEVER happened with RTR). It seemed like a very pretty dress and good quality, just never got to REALLY see what it could look like on me due to overwhelming large size.

Bought for date night but too small.
Ordered a size 14 (normal size 12-14) and couldn't wear it because I couldn't breathe in it. Was afraid I was going to break the zipper! Very pretty dress and I would consider ordering again if they had my size. Would recommend sizing up!

Would have loved to wear for date night.
This dress is INCREDIBLY short and small. I'd recommend sizing 2 up. Even on my short, 5'3" frame, it cupped my butt. This would be a shirt for an average height person. It was a shame because it's such a pretty dress with a great, spring pattern.

Cute & comfy dress for date night!
This dress fit true to size (I feel like rare for RTR). It wasn't too long on my 5'3" frame, which is always a worry. The elastic across the back was great because it hid my (regular) bra and had good stretch.

Bought for a special dinner but unfortunately couldn't wear because it fell very awkwardly on me.
Unfortunately this just didn't work for me. The fit was really awkward and very short for my 5'3" frame. I couldn't wear it. I think this sort of dress is really fitted for someone with a very thin or athletic fit. Not meant for curvy girls.
