Good quality, a little loose
The top button was quite loose (even though the shirt fit). It came undone multiple times. Also, the shirt doesn't close at the bottom or in the middle, it's completely up to the tie waist to keep it closed.

I love/hate this shirt. It was beautiful from afar, but looks kind of like pajamas up close. Fit TTS.

Fit Perfect, Does wrinkle
Like any linen material, these look kind of like crap by the end of the day if you're sitting, driving, etc... Still, they fit true to size and were good quality

Didn't Wear
I have a larger bust and while this fit the rest of my body, the gap around the bust was too large. Didn't wear.

Fit Well, thin material
These fit TTS - doesn't feel like denim though, they're very thin and stretchy.

Heavy and itchy
This was a very heavy material, which was nice, but it was also rough and scratchy. I found it slightly uncomfortable to wear due to how it felt against my skin. I also think it could be an inch or two longer, it was just slightly shorter than I’d like.

Fit was very different than on the model
I wasn't a huge fan of this sweater. The color is darker than in the picture. The fit was shorter than in the picture. The neck looked very different and kind of just hung there. There was nothing special about this sweater and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Beautiful color!
Overall I loved this dress and would recommend it. I did find the bottom to be really tight, especially since my hips aren't that big, it's more my chest and back that feel very tight in a dress. I had to work up my confidence to feel comfortable in it, but once I gave myself a pep talk it was fine!

Nice dress for a date
Pros: very soft and comfortable Cons: short and tight I found this dress to be way too short. I'm exactly 5'6" and I was a little uncomfortable. I had to wear tights because it was so short. And even then I think if I was out at a party, instead of out to dinner, I would have been really self conscious and pulling it down and checking my butt all night. It was also really tight, although maybe skin hugging is a more appropriate description. You can see the line around my belly of where the tights were around my waist. And the dress didn't really feel tight it just kind of emphasized anything that wasn't smooth. All that being said, I didn't really mind that you could see my tights, I was more bothered by the length, and the material of the dress was very soft and comfortable. I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it either.

Perfect LBD
I wore this for my 6th anniversary dinner. It was really cold out and rainy, the kind of night where you really just want to stay in. This dress fit very well, and had just the right amount of stretch. For me, the 8 and 10 both fit but I wore the 10 because I knew I would be eating a lot. I'm 5'6" and the dress hit just at my knee. The material is pretty thick where it was appropriate to be wearing in November in Boston. it was the perfect dress for a winter night out. Oh, and that neckline is killer, love it!

Comfortable fit and perfect length
I got this dress for my birthday dinner. I wanted something bright and comfortable. This dress was perfect! I got a 10 and an 8 and tried on the 10 first and it fit so I never tried on the 8. I'm quite busty compared to the rest of my frame and this really worked for me! The color was great too! I will definitely be ordering other Shoshanna dresses in the future.

Couldn't make this work
As someone who is bigger on top, this dress kind of shocked me. I normally wear a 10 in Trina Turk and this dress in a 10 was just all sorts of wrong. The top was super baggy and completely unflattering. The bottom wasn't fitted enough and the waist didn't cinch in the right place. It did not look good at all, and I didn't end up wearing it. Also, for some reason it smelled like moth balls to the point where even if it did look good, I probably wouldn't have been able to wear it as the smell was really overwhelming.

Ugh, I wish I remembered to take a photo! This dress was gorgeous!
I consistently wear an 8 or a 10 in rent the runway dresses and in this case I wore the 8 (I probably could have gotten away with a 6). Since this is a shift dress and I'm a busty girl, I wore a tiny black belt to help accentuate my waist, otherwise it looked just a bit too baggy and unflattering. I got so many compliments and felt very confident in it. It was a great dress to wear out to dinner with friends on a night that I just wasn't feeling anything in my own closet.

This dress is gorgeous, but I was unable to wear it
The zipper on this dress was difficult to zip and once it was zipped it was so crooked it was unwearable. It needs a replacement zipper, so I was unable to wear it and had to send it back. That being said, aside from the zipper being crooked, this dress was HOT. I mean, I could not believe how amazing it looked. Some people mentioned they needed spanx with it but I thought it was fine without. It was quite a showstopper. I'm actually hoping I have a formal event in the coming months so that I can order it again (and hopefully get a dress that doesn't have a busted zipper). Seriously, if you're considering renting this dress, do it. It looked amazing!

Stand Out Dress
This dress is a very very loud hot pink. I stood out from the crowd. It was fun for a summer wedding (although the material is extremely thick) - I would not have been able to wear this outside on a hot day. I was lucky it was a somewhat cool day and the reception was indoors. I'm a bit curvier on the top and I found the top to be almost uncomfortably snug around my chest, but I dealt with it because I just really liked the dress. It still looked great, just be aware if you're a large C or above it's gonna be constricting.

Perfectly comfortable, classy party dress
I wore this to a holiday party in December. It fit very nicely, I am curvy, especially on top and it fit very comfortably. I got many compliments, and it was festive without being over-the-top. Loved it, and would recommend to my friends.

First, this dress came up in the "full bust" search, it is not for a full bust. Unfortunately, this dress fit poorly, and I would say it's not for curvy girls. The problem for me is that one size fit everywhere but the bust, and the larger size fit the bust, but was baggy everywhere else. I showed my roommate the dress on me, then when I showed her the dress on the model in the picture she laughed. I would say that if you are straight up and down or have hips but a small bust, this dress would fit you perfectly. Not for full bust, and not for apple shape though.

This dress is a showstopper! It was so stunning that I needed no accessories with it. It was comfortable too!
I wore this dress to a black tie preferred wedding. It really was a show-stopper. I received compliments all through the evening from everyone I met. I felt great dancing all night, it was so (surprisingly) comfortable. If I had to make one complaint, it would be that the green lining was longer than the sequin covering (which you can see in my photo). I had to keep trying to fix it so they were even. I thought maybe it was just the dress I was wearing, so I actually tried on the other size I had, and that one also had the lining a bit longer, so maybe it's part of the design. Another thing that really sold me on this dress is that it looked so beautiful on everyone who posted a picture of it. I think it would look good on just about any body type (it's a bit stretchy), and that's why I was able to rent it with such confidence.

This dress is AMAZING. No Really, it's wonderful. Got so many compliments on it and it fit perfectly. It's slightly stretchy and there is boning in the top that really hugs your curves and accentuates your assets. I would recommend this dress to anyone and everyone!
