Very cute, but runs small!
I really like this dress, but it runs very tight in the rib area and could barely zip it. I normally wear a 6 and the 8 is very tight still. So right it might be hard to wear all day. It fits fine in every other area.

Didn't even wear
This dress was terribly unflattering. It had a high waist/ babydoll waist that made it look like maternity wear. There was just too much flowy material to make this a flattering look. And it was extremely low cut in the front. Didn't wear as just unflattering all around.

Was not my favorite
The print was nice as well as length. Closing this dress was ridiculous as it was a tiny hook that hooks to A PIECE of thread. No way this is going to last long and then the dress could come flying open at any time. Also was too small in the bust. Would not rent again

I did not end up wearing this.
The sleeves were just too large and puffy. Looked silly. The top was almost like a corset which was flattering, but didn't wear as sleeves were too ridiculous.

Ok dress
I rented for work, but it was way too body con to wear to work. It's a lot more body con than the pics seemed to indicate. I wore it to dinner instead. It was just ok and a material that seemed to show every flaw.

Didn't wear
I originally got this in a small and it was too small (mainly in arms) and ordered a medium. The medium fit fine, it just wasn't my favorite top and I felt blah in it. I returned without wearing.

Not a favorite
I did not end up wearing this shirt. It is very long (think long like a tunic) and had a frumpy look to wear out. It's also low cut though in the front so it makes it inappropriate for work. I could not think of any occasion when I would want to wear this.

Not my favorite rental
I rented this brand new with tags to wear to a casual NYE party. I ended up not wearing it. It's absurdly low cut- the pics don't do it justice as to how low it is in person. It is also cut so open that wearing a regular bra would be tricky and it fits odd in shoulders. It looks as if it's a sweater material so you would anticipate it would have give, but their is no stretch in the fabric and it's kind of itchy as well. It was very tight in arms as well.

Loved this blouse
This has pretty bad reviews so I was hesitant to rent for a while. I absolutely loved it though! The small fit me perfectly. It was a perfect fit- not too loose or too tight. I would note it could be a bit short on taller or long waisted individuals, but it was perfect for me at 5'4. It is probably too low cut for the office and more appropriate for a night out. Bell sleeves were perfect and not obnoxiously wide or long like some. I'm thinking of buying it.

Just ok
I liked the fit of the body of the dress but the flowy sleeves just aren't flattering. It would be fine with more fitted sleeves.

Didn't wear
I returned this without wearing it. It was just not flattering with the stripes and it was long (M was past my knee at 5'4). It made me look wide and it was frumpy.

Just ok
I rented this to wear as a casual weekend dress. I ended up not wearing it. There are just too many ruffles and they add bulk in my opinion, especially given the light color. It might work if you're a size 0-2. It just wasn't flattering so didn't wear. The tie at the back looks a bit awkward as well.

Could not zip
I wasn't able to wear as it runs small in my opinion. It has an odd zipper that zips from the top down of the top portion. It's likely not a great choice if you have a larger chest as there is no give. The skirt portion fit true to size for a 6. It came to about knee length on me, not most flattering length.

Didn't wear as was tight and not flattering
I didn't wear this as the small was too tight in the chest. I'm not really a huge fan of asymmetrical hems either so it just want going to work.

It grew on me
At first I wasn't sure I liked this. The ruffles add some bulk and could have done without so much in the hem area. My boyfriend even said it looked like Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz Lol. It really started to grow on me the more I wore it though. I even wore it 2x. It's a cute summer dress and there aren't too many halter options out there unfortunately. The cups area would be problematic if you don't have a decent size chest because they have a lot of padding and could look a bit unnatural.

Not very flattering
I rented this brand new with tags. I thought it would be great, but the ruching at the hips and waist really make it look bulky. It adds a lot of weight to that area and I really don't consider my hips to be a problem area. I will likely send it back without wearing it.
Coral Drape Front Maxi
Slate & Willow
Size Worn: SR
Usual Size: 6

Extremely small
I should have listened to past reviews and held off on renting this. It didn't even come close to zipping up in a size medium. It wasn't amazing enough otherwise to try a large as the fit is just too problematic. It probably runs at least 2 sizes too small.

Awkward fit
This shirt has a very odd fit. As others have said the straps are too long so it puts the shirt so low it's pretty much not wearable. It's somewhat short and too tight in the chest area causing gapping between the buttons. I didn't wear it.

Runs small in chest and length
I really wish I had listened to other reviews and sized up. I figured there would be a length issue and I'm only 5'4 so I was ok with that. It's a bit short, but the chest area is extremely tight. This is not a great choice if you have a large rib cage or chest. Size up for sure. I probably won't be wearing the 6 as it's just not flattering and I think an 8 would have been better.

Good for a costume, wouldn't wear otherwise
I work this as part of a costume for a Game of Thrones event. I got a ton of compliments, but the fit wasn't great. This is so loose and open in the neckline. I'm not sure who this would work for and look flattering. It looks extremely revealing and I was self centered conscious that my bra was showing. You'd need some sort of special bra to make it work.

Just ok
This was just ok. Not too special. I'm not sure I like the blue with black so it didn't go with my work pants so only wore once and sent back. Nothing too special.

Cute and more flattering than expected
I wasn't expecting to like this, but really did! If the price was a bit less I would have purchased it. The v-neck isn't too low, but prob not office appropriate. I also thought the ruffle would add bulk at waist, but it really didn't. Nice color too!

Great dress for work
I wore this as an everyday work dress. I thought it was very true to size and the fit was very flattering. The detail in the front was actually very figure flattering and I liked how the sleeves gave it something a bit more than a basic black dress. I would have kept it longer but I needed to send it in to be dry cleaned. I'd definitely rent again!

Runs large
I rented this for an everyday work dress. I normally wear a size 6 in dresses. This dress is VERY loose in the midsection and sleeves. It's boxy and unflattering. I think a 4 would be a much better fit. I wish the description had indicated it ran large and to size down. I'm returning it without wearing it. It's so bizarre because the last Shoshanna dress I had to go up a size and for this one I need to go down. I probably won't be renting any more Shoshanna dresses unfortunately as it just isn't working out. The color is and material is nice though. Disappointed it doesn't fit.

Very difficult to wear fabric
This dress is just not a practical fabric if you're larger than a size 0. It's a very thin almost silk like fabric that clings to every bulge. I felt so self-conscious in this dress that I wanted to change partly through the day. This is with Spanx too. The color and cut is very pretty, but it's really not worth it otherwise unfortunately. It does seem to run big as well.

Runs VERY small...
I rented this as part of my Unlimited subscription as a work outfit. I'm usually a size 4 or sometimes a size 6 as I'm a 34D and need to go up a size for dresses that are very fitted in the chest. I first got this in a size 6 and had to immediately return it. Even the arms are very tight and fitted. The size 8 was wearable, but caused an odd look in the chest area. I've never worn a size 8 ever, which shows how small this dress runs. I really don't recommend this for anyone besides someone who is very thin and it really doesn't work for anyone with a larger chest. The material is unforgiving even with spanx.
