Rocky Horror Love
Such a fun dress. Very short. Runs true to size, BUT I'm a 36FF and I have slim hips. This was loose up top and tight in the hips.

Oversized - but still HUGE
An aggressively fun jacket, but massive. Know it's supposed to be oversized, and I went down a size to a Large, I'm a 14ish (12 on a good day), and could have gone down to at least a Medium maybe a small. I'm gonna wear it once, but would 100% get a smaller size if I were to rent it again.

Flatering Stripes
I LOVE THIS DRESS! it's so flattering, The stripes are perfectly placed to flatter your body. I'm probably more of an XL and the Large fits perfectly and is almost a little too roomy in the mid-section. Might need to buy.

Bust Friendly and Adorable
This is one of my favorite rentals and I've been waiting for it to come back all summer so I could buy it. Shoshanna is so good for a large bust, and this is one of my 2 favorite dresses from the brand. It hangs perfectly on me and actually accommodates my 36F bust. It may need to remain in my permanent collection. I get so many compliments any time I wear it.

Flattering and Forgiving in the Bust
Rented this for an animation meeting, I liked that the colors matched the cartoon (!). The dress is very comfortable and due to the stretchy material it doesn't tug around the bust, which is my continual struggle. The material is a medium weight and isn't super forgiving, so I'd be cautious or size up if your mid section is a problem area. The long flutter sleeves are super cute too. 100% adding this dress to my regular work meeting rentals list.

Loved this simple dress!
I don't know if I can send this dress back, it's so comfortable, flattering and the material is luxurious. Fit in the bust - which is always a challenge for me!

Christmas Fun
Rented this dress for the annual Christmas party I host. It's a casual/festive party, and this dress nailed the vibe. I found the fit to be great. I have a very large bust - so I found it still to be tight in the bust (basically all clothes are) but it was closer to the right fit. I LOVED the bottom, it's fun, super comfortable and was really flattering on my body.

Fun light dress
Rented this for a wedding. It was perfect with the Pink Sachin + Babi earrings I also rented. I'm very busty and am typically a 12, but had tried the 12 on in the store and realized I needed the 14 for my bust, honestly I could have gone up one more size in the bust however the bottom of the dress would then be too big. Got a ton of compliments on the outfit.

CLIP ONs, not posts.
I repeat these are Clip Ons. I LOVE the look of these earrings and got sooo many compliments on them. However, the clips are not strong so they fell off more and more as the night went on. Additionally, I was sent two of the same earrings so they didn't lay the right way on my ears. All that being said, they are gorgeous in person.

Ok, made my chest look wide in photos
This is comfortable and flattering in person, but unflattering in all of the photos. Would possibly rent again if I lose a little weight.

Not sure?
Need a dress for a wedding where I'm giving a toast. I don't hate this, but don't love it. Doesn't accommodate a real bra and I don't like the way it makes my boobs look. Sent back. Nice fabric and drape, but 100% better for someone with manageable boobs.

Weird but amazing
I picked this out in the store, I couldn't find a size on it so just grabbed the one that looked closest to my size. I'm typically a 12/14. This one is actually a 6, which is not at all close to a size that should fit me. It even fits over my 36F chest without gaping. Got a ton of compliments. Will hang on to it for a while, a great summer dress.

Terrible photo, great dress
This is the only full length photo I have of this dress, and it's not a great angle. But I LOVED this dress. I'm a 36F and it was great to be able to wear a real bra and not feel constricted in the chest. The detail was great and the dress is clearly quality. I regret sending it back.

Short and a little wide
Pretty green color and nice material. I overall found it unflattering and really short. I have a long torso and short legs - would maybe be the right length on a truly petite person, but i should have heeded the other reviews on the length. Its also a little shapeless - would recomend for soneone flat-chested or someone looking to cover some extra in the tummy, but if you are like me and have a large bust and flat stomach. It will make you look bigger than you are.

Obessed. Boho Chic Amazingness
Im normally a 10/12 and rented a 14 in this dress. Im really busty, and the fabric has no give so im incredibly happy only the 14 was abailable. It was snug around the bust and roomy in the rest of the body, but looled great. Will 100% rent again. May need to buy it!

Easy casual top
This is less a sweatshit, like the other reviews and more of a loosedrapy fabric. That being said, I really liked it. I'm a true large but a medium would have been much better. Will rent again!

Well made but boxy
I love the fabic and the button detailing on this shirt, however it was very boxy and somewhat short. I wore it, but was not that flattering. Would not rent again.

Great Meeting Dress
Really loled this DVF dress. Wore to a meeting. Im typically a 10 in DVF, but tried a 12 this time - hoilday weight - and the top was too big (a problem ive literally never had.) Would 100% rent again, but would get a 10 next time. Very comfprtable and flattering dress. If you are on the more conservative side or dont like to have cleavage, this is not the dress for you.

I waa really exvited about this sweatshirt dress, but it ran very small and short. The arma were very tight to the point of being uncomfortable. Nice thick matetial. I did not wear the dress.

Sprakly Party Skirt
Wore this with a black turtleneck for a holiday party I host. Its very fun. A short mini, so just be prepared. Im a little on the chubby side for me right now and sizing up to a 12 might have been better.

Fun everyday top
Love this top and found it to be very flattering, even with my large chest. Its long enough and not too drapey. The high neck and the tie sleeves feel original and different. Wore to work with a skirt and to a holiday party woth black jeans. Would 100% wear again and may have to buy.

Great for a professional formal event!
I really liked this dress. I am pretty much always a 10, and I got the 10L and the 12R. I ended up wearing the 10L. I had tried on the 8R in the showroom and it was a little snug and the 10L was perfect, tho a touch snug at the bust (almost always a problem for me). I don't know if it was a touch tight or it was just the dress I wore, but there was some puckering around the zipper. On the whole it was a great and comfortable dress. I wore it to a taping of a televised award show I attended with clients so I needed something that kept my boobs on lockdown but still looked great. The dress totally fit the bill.
