Cute and Professional
I wore this to a conference for work. I'd consider it on the sexier end of what's acceptable for professional attire, but it still worked for a professional event. This dress fit true to size, maybe running just slightly on the smaller side. You can't see it in the model's photos, but there is a lace underlay that pops out of the bottom of the dress (some of the user photos show it). I didn't realize that was part of the dress, but it actually made me like it even better.

Sleek and Professional
I wore this dress to a conference for work. It was very comfortable - form-fitting but not tight. I thought the length was appropriate for a professional event. Great dress overall.

Cute party dress!
This dress was great, very comfortable and cute. My only complaint is that it's hard to keep the bottom wrinkle-free once you sit down or even move around a bit; it wasn't that noticeable though. I am a 6/8 and the 8 fit very well. I'm 5'4" and the hem hit about halfway between my knee and mid-thigh.

Pretty dress for a party!
I am usually a 6 and the 6 fit perfectly. The bodice is structured enough that I felt comfortable without a bra. I am 5'4" and the bottom of the lace hit about 3-4" above my knee. The dress was really comfortable and pretty.

Simple, beautiful accessory
These earrings are large enough to make a statement but are lightweight so they are comfortable to wear even if you don't like wearing big earrings (like me).

Pretty, Elegant Dress
This dress was comfortable and flattering. On me, the length was just above my knees. It's a lovely dress for a wedding. It is form-fitting but didn't feel tight; it was comfortable to sit down in and to dance in.

pretty and comfortable
I liked this dress a lot for a late winter event (it might be too warm for a summer event though). I liked the fit - it was form-fitting but not tight. The length was about mid-thigh on me (I'm 5'4").

Perfect dress for a NYE wedding!
I loved the color, it was on the spectrum between gold and champagne. I wore it with a simple gold necklace and dangle earrings (my own). it's definitely form fitting but there was enough stretch to walk, dance, etc very comfortably. I wore a strapless bra which was generally fine; I had to lift the front of the dress up a couple times early in the night to get to cover the top of the bra, but once I adjusted it a couple times, it seemed to stay in place (without dress tape). I'm 5'4" and the dress hit a couple inches above my knee.

Fits like a glove
This dress fit great (which was lucky since they were out of my back-up size). The clasps were stretched out and one of the back shoulder straps was ripped, but thankfully pliers and a friendly tailor were able to fix those things in time for my event. Other than that, the dress was perfect. It was pretty, easy to dance in, and fitted but comfortable.

Cute, comfortable, fun dress for a wedding or other event.
I wasn't familiar with Shoshanna sizing, so I tried on a friend's Shoshanna dress before renting this. The one I tried was strapless and a size 2 and fit well, so I ordered a 2 and 4 here... the 4 ended up fitting well (I'm usually a 4 in general), but at first it felt a little tight. I probably would have gone with a 4 and 6 to try on. But once it was zippered up, it fit great. The 2 was definitely too small. I was fine going without a bra; although a strapless would work with this dress.
