I didn't end up wearing this selection. It wasn't quite the look I was going for.
RTR keeps getting better and better. This dress arrived in perfect condition and was pressed flawlessly ( this can be especially difficult with the lace details around the hems). The dress color is better in person. It is vibrant and will make your eyes light up. The dress itself fits high on the collar, fitted in the waist and bells just slightly at the hips. The dress did not feel too tight in the arms or chest and was not itchy. What made me not keep this dress was that it was too proper for the event I was attending. This would be perfect if going to be in a church as it's very modest in my opinion. Will consider for a future event where it is more suitable.

Adorable. RTR delivers again! I have come to rely on this app for almost every event I attend.
At 5"2 this dress is slightly long on me. But not long enough that I didn't wear it. It's was also a little baggy/big. I can't imagine this dress without a belt. I rarely belt anything, but it was necessary with this one. Sooo size down for a backup. The fabric is very light weight and thin. I had hoped it would of been just a touch thicker, BUT it's not shear or see through. The colors are vibrant and look just like the picture. Overall I'm happy with this rental and I recommend it!

Great shift dress!
Rented this dress for a winter bridal shower and it was the perfect choice. It runs slightly big so I would get your regular size and one below it. I chose to wear the larger size of the two and belt it to give it some shape. I highly recommend having a black belt on hand when renting this dress! It was the perfect length for me ( at 5'2 ). All in all, another great experience with RTR. And you can't beat the price!

Beautiful shift dress!
I rented this dress for a bachelorette party. It runs a bit big, especially in the waist so I would size down for a backup. I cinched it with a belt and that helped. It was also just a tad long for a 5'2 girl but not much. Overall it was a well made, comfortable dress. I chose not to wear it due to a small quality issue that needed fixing. I'll be receiving a credit and hope to rent it again once it's repaired.

Loved the fit of this dress!
Flatters and fits wonderfully for a petite girl ( 5'2 ). The only down side was that the lace detailing around the arms and chest sort of curls in and needs to be ironed or steamed ( on a very low heat ) before wearing. Other than that, it doesn't photograph well as the white fabric underneath sort of shines through in most pictures. Bottom line, loved the fit and would look for another shoshanna dress in the future, but probably won't be renting this particular one again.

I wanted this dress to work.
I'd say this dress fits more like a shift and less like a sheath as it's named. It's loose at the stomach and runs straight down with out coming in at the waist. I really wanted to like this dress because I love stripes, but I just didn't. The hem is not straight due to the heaviness of the dress pulling it down which I really didn't like. Bottom line, I returned the dress without wearing and I'll be looking for another one instead. On the plus side, if your new to RTR know that you're in great hands! This service has been wonderful as I've used it to rent 6 or 7 dresses so far. Dont like a dress? Just return it for a credit and use it on one you really love.

Overall, just bleh...
This dress fit true to size. And was a great length for a petite girl. It also fit well and hides any flaws. My only complaint is that it is just not an attractive dress. I thought it could work and just be on the edgy side, but no... The different textures and layers don't work. I returned the dress without wearing.

In love with this dress!
I wish I could keep it! I rented this for a wedding and it fits great (size down!) I'm normally a size 10 in rtr and the size 8 fit perfect. It runs on the shorter side so for a petite girl, it was perfect. The bottom bells out pretty significantly but I loved the look. The dress arrived in near perfect condition and I'll be sad when it's time to go back. One note: the dress lining hem came down longer than the actual dress hem in one area so a safety pin was needed to pull it up.

Chose not to wear this dress.
This dress fit too tight in the chest and so I would opt for a bigger size next time. So if you're a c or bigger definitely size up for this reason. Other than that, it's a beautiful shift dress. If you're smaller than 5'2 I would advise against this dress because it might be too long. Being 5'2 it hit right above the knee ( just a touch longer than I would of liked but still wearable ). Material is silky but not clingy or too shear. I would rent again in a bigger size.

Chose not to wear this dress
Beautiful dress but runs small and fits right. Definitely size up. Other than that it's made of a great, thick material that hides flaws and has nice lace detail. Would rent again in a bigger size.

Loved this super comfy shift dress!
This dress was the perfect choice for a rehearsal dinner this summer. I would of also loved it for a nice dinner or night out. It was true to size, however I chose to go with the bigger size so I could cinch it with a belt. Loved it overall!

This is a beautiful necklace!
I loved this necklace. It's not too heavy and was just the right amount of bling. The only thing to be careful of is wearing this with a lace dress that has a high collar, because it will snag. I plan on renting this again for another wedding!

This dress is beautiful and arrived in great condition
This dress is short. On a petite girl (5'2), it fit just right. Anyone taller will likely find it too short. The dress is also very form fitting. It shows curves similar to how a sheath style dress would, however hides imperfections (such as panty lines) as the material is thick and substantial. I choose not to wear this dress due it being too tight and form fitting for my taste.

Rented this dress for a party.
Should have rented a size up because my usual size did not fit. This is a beautiful dress. The colors pop and are very vibrant. The material is sturdy and hides imperfections. The material does not stretch so if you have wider hips or thighs this dress is probably not for you. Fits perfect in length for a petite girl.

Chose to return this dress.
It fits true to size and is just the right length for a 5'2 girl. Anyone taller might find it too short to wear. Loved the idea of this dress, however it was too uncomfortable to wear. It was not the best option for the middle of summer as the sleeves do not let in much air and feel constricting.
