beautiful
Got these as mystery bling, but didn't end up wearing since the dress I rented did not end up working out. I liked these earrings a lot though, the bottom stone was rough textured and adds a little edginess.

LOVED.
Shoshanna is by far my favorite designer so far from all the dresses I've rented from RTR. This dress was no exception. I rented it for an evening wedding and it was perfect for the occasion. Very modest in terms of not showing legs, chest or back area, but it still gets noticed. I got a lot of compliments from other women. The bow in the front does not poof out, it's flat against the dress. There are pockets and I was able to hold a mirror and lipgloss without it showing. The armholes are a little small so be aware of that. I rented a 10 and a 12 - I wore the 10 as it fit my body so much better in terms of defining my waist and hips, but the armholes were a little snug under my arms that I wished the size 12 would've worked better. I wore it with black satin bow heels from WHBM and simple jewelry.

So cute, but TOO SHORT.
I rented this dress for my sister's bachelorette party. This dress is for someone confident and looking to stand out! I absolutely loved the cut, fabric, metal piece at the top but the dress was just too SHORT for me. It was more like a long shirt than a dress which wasn't the look I was going for and I wasn't interested in wearing tights, etc. I'm right under 5'6 and usually don't have a problem with length. While the front was at least passable it really rode up in the back area and if I was walking, sitting, bending over - forget it. I was so disappointed when I realized what a mistake I made and I was out shopping at the mall at closing time finding a replacement since I could not wear this one. :( This dress was a miss for me, love RTR though!!

Cute!
I actually did not wear this dress since I realized I had to be in a uniform instead for the event I rented it for. The color is a super bright yellow with a white lace overlay. It's very similar (if not the same) to the Blush Lace dress by Shoshanna. Shoshanna dresses just fit me right, better than any other brand I've found so far.

Cute and Bright!
This such was a cute dress. Very bright blue, perfect color for Spring. I wore mine with a cardigan since it was rented for my sister's bridal shower and my back was a bit more exposed than I cared for considering the event. It fit well, was made well. The back straps are adjustable so you get the right fit up top. It's lined well, not see through at all. Cute!!!!

I love RTR. ALL of the stress of figuring out what to wear for events is GONE.
I rented this dress for a "Pink Attire Required" Bridal Shower. I wanted something that didn't show a lot of skin in the chest and back area but would still pop a little. I was really happy with this dress. The color is vibrant, it fit well and it has pockets on the sides which I liked. I'm usually a size 12 - about 5'6, flucuate between 150-155 pounds, 38C - I got a 10 as a back up and wore the 12 so I'd say it's true to size. I think this is a great dress for daytime functions - it shows really well in natural light photos. The only downside was the fabric got a little wrinkly when I was in the car for an hour drive. When I got out, the stomach and backside area had creased a little bit. Not a huge deal, but something I wanted to point out. Fabulous dress though!! Very happy!!

First RTR experience and I loved it!!! Will never stress about what to wear and shopping for an event now!!
I rented this dress for a White Party and got a lot of compliments on how cute it was. This was actually my third choice as two others I had saved to my favorites were not available for the rental period I needed. I was really relieved when I got this dress, it's well made and fit my body really well (as a bonus, it was brand new and still had the tags on it). I'm 5'6, fluctuate between 145-150 pounds and wear a 12 normally. I got a 10 as my back up size and ended up wearing the 12. The top part of the dress was a little thick and had boning inside which was nice because it hid any imperfections in my mid-section (especially while seated). The bottom was fully lined and not see through. I discovered pockets by the end of the night which was a nice surprise. I've read a lot of good things about Soshanna dresses from other RTR members and I'm going to rent more from this line in the future - the fit was very nice.

Thrilled that I never have to stress again over shopping in stores for events and only finding dresses that are poorly made, ill-fitting and expensive. Rent the Runway is truly a stress-free experience. LOVE IT.
I rented this dress for a wedding. The color was beautiful and I got a lot of compliments on it. I'm 5'6, fluctuate between 145-150 pounds and normally wear a size 12. I got a size 10 and a 12 and wore the 12. This was my second Shoshanna rental and I'm loving the line so far. There is something about the way the dresses are made and fit that seems to work well for me.

Cute, but not for me.
This dress was cute but super "fiddly". The ruffles at the top were way too messy and all over the place. The material itself was also just wrinkly looking overall which wouldn't have bothered me if the ruffles weren't also an issue on top of that. I couldn't tell from the picture but the bottom poofed out which I thought was cute. The fit was great, seemed to run large as I usually wear a 12 but wore a 10 in this dress (5'6 and fluctuate between 145-150 pounds). I rented this as a back up dress for a White Party and did not choose to wear it.
