Practical, comfortable, and lovely!
The blue was definitely brighter than I was expecting, but that's not a bed thing! This dress has pockets and enough coverage to keep me warm during the blustery day that the wedding took place on. I'd definitely recommend this dress.

Perfectly subtle sparkle.
This bracelet was bright but not overwhelming, and so lightweight that I forgot I had it on. Loved it and would rent again.

Fabulous color and POCKETS!
I love Shoshanna dresses and I wear them every chance I get. This one ran a little bit small in the chest, which is unusual for this line, but I think it was due to the way the cap sleeves were cut. Overall I liked this dress and received many compliments on it. Best of all, it had pockets so deep that I actually couldn't find my phone in one briefly!

Perfect bold sparkles
These were fabulous for a wedding I was a bridesmaid in. They were lightweight, though after wearing them for 8+ hours the clip on element did make them slightly uncomfortable, but that's to be excepted. I received many compliments on them through the the event.

SO small- absolutely no stretch
I typically wear a size eight, but even the ten did not come close to fitting in this style. I love Shoshanna and this dress would have been fabulous if the fabric had some stretch to it. It really doesn't, so beware if you're hippy or busty and size up accordingly.

So short and right I couldn't wear it.
The medium should have fit, but definitely didn't. I'm only 5'6" but it was so scandalously short (even with flats!) that I couldn't wear it out.

SO comfortable- easy elegance
This dress was insanely comfortable. Not binding, not constricting, and lined with a soft knit fabric. The tulle in the skirt was delightful and not at all itchy thanks to the lining. The lace is much more obviously a bright navy in person. I would happily rent this again.

Glamorous and comfortable!
This dress was so comfortable that I was able to eat a full meal in it and then sit in a freezing theatre for hours afterward without feeling constricted or cold. The cuffs give a great sparkly element and I was able to wear a standard bra with it- just make sure you wear one with straps that are wide set along the band. The slit kept it from being matronly and I received so many compliments. Loved it!

Strange fit, didn't wear it
The asymmetrical rouching was odd, and the sleeves were so tight I couldn't wear the dress. I'm a size 8 and do not have abnormally large arms. Disappointing since this would have been perfect for my event.

Great fit and flawless color
This dress is easy, colorful, comfortable and elegant. Shariah always fits my body type well and this dress was no exception. I loved being able to wear a standard bra with it!

Perfect size and style!
These earrings got slightly heavy after six hours of wear- but they looked so good I didn't mind the weight! They're so stylish and classic. If you're on the fence- go for it.

Simple way to make a navy dress pop
This necklace was easy, light, fun and just blingy enough without being ostentatious.

Elegant but not crazy formal
This dress was definitely fitted and more of a purple than it appears in this photo. It was a smashing success at the benefit gala I attended.

Beautiful color, beautiful fit
The fit was excellent - I have a smaller waist and broader hips and this dress was very comfortable. I wore it with a standard bra and just kept and eye out for strap encroachment. Many compliments on this dress!

When I put it on, I wanted to wear it for my wedding, not just the rehearsal!
The fit was flawless- nipped in perfectly at the waist, beautifully structured bodice under the lace, and the lace itself was very stretchy. When I put it on I absolutely fell in love- this dress is amazing! One of the best I've ever rented.

Gorgeous color
The color was amazing and the shape was super flattering. I sized up to accomodate the bust running small and was glad I did. It was VERY tight. However, that meant that I didn't have to worry about complicated bust support under the dress.

I loved looking good for my fiance's graduation!
I'm a huge Shoshana fan, and this dress was no exception. It was a true size 4 with a perfect fit at my natural waist. The chest was a little bit tight, so if you're between sizes because of your bust I'd suggest sizing up.
