Comfortable and cute
This is the second wedding that I rented this dress for. It travels great in a suitcase (no wrinkles) and is so comfortable and cute to wear. I’ll continue renting this for formal wedding in the spring/summer.

Comfortable and so cute
I wore this on vacation in the Philippines. It was so cute and comfortable. Given the thickness of the fabric, I didn’t need to wear a bra which was also nice. I would definitely rent again!

Warm and stylish
I rented this for a work trip to NYC and Washington, DC in the winter. With a scarf and this coat, I was perfectly warm when the temp was in the teens. I’d say if it’s anything below 45 degrees this coat is great. Size 10 was perfect to be able to layer work blazers and chunky sweaters underneath. If you aren’t wearing bulky clothes under, consider sizing down 1 size. I would definitely rent again!

Stylish and warm
This sweater is so stylish with the details down the shoulders and arm. I will say it’s VERY warm, so I got a bit hot when my office had the heater pumping. If I had been outside more or I a cooler indoor location, it would have been better. I would definitely rent again. I normally wear M tops but ordered a L in this sweater and I’m glad I got the L.

The favorite of this sweater made it very comfortable/soft compared to sweaters that may be itchy. Wore this several times to work and a few times around town with jeans.

So fashionable, but definitely a winter/cooler weather blazer
I usually fit into size 10 jackets and the size proposal for me was a 10 on this but it would have had to go up 1-2 sizes for it to fit right. Also, it's important to know the fabric is a very thick / had a definite winter vibe to it so likely best for that season.

Perfect for spring wedding
Wore this for a spring wedding and it was perfect. I had a pashmina that I used when it was cooler in the evening. Great that you can wear a regular bra if it's low in the front. Would rent again!

Great top for work or date night
Wore this with navy pants to work one day and with jeans for a date night on another day. Size L fit well, but slightly tight in chest and slightly tight arm bands. Would rent again.

I felt like a princess at a black tie gala!
I had to diet for two days to get the 8 to zip. Next time I'll order an 8 and 10. Loved that I didn't have to wear a bra or Spanx with this dress. I'll definitely rent again!

I felt feminine and glamorous!
I normally wear a six, but I wore a 4 in this dress. Even though I am only 5'6" the long was the right length. LIke the description says, the dress does not have any give - you'll need to have the right size for it to fit. I have a relatively straight body shape and this gave me curves!! I got so many compliments on the dress throughout the night - I felt like a movie star!

They caught everyone's attention!
The earrings look exactly as pictured. They are quite a statement piece - they were the only piece of jewelry I wore. They are clip on, but they started to feel a bit heavy and made my ear lobes ache after 3-4 hours of wearing -- I still highly recommend them!

Ran smaller than expected and fabric was very thin.

As always, using the Rent the Runway was so easy and seamless. Dress showed up on time and fit as expected. I'll definitely continue to use RTR and rent Shoshanna dresses!
I've worn other Shoshanna dresses before and they usually run large, so I ordered a 4 and a 6. However, this one ran more true to size, so I wore the 6. Very nice quality fabric and the inner boning structure made it stay on without having to worry about pulling it up all night while dancing!

Style and comfort!
I wore this dress to a family member's engagement party with black tights and black pumps. It was very comfortable and I felt stylish. I paired it with the Azaara Gold Disk Earrings from RTR which looked great, too. It fit true to size for me.

Comfort and style in one
I typically wear a six, but the four fit me better because of a tighter fit on the bust. With the four, I didn't have to wear a bra due to the nice boning and structure of the top. The beading adds a bit of bling without being over the top.
