Perfect for late spring wedding
A bit tight in the bust for this 36c gal, but beautiful and easy to wear. Love the adjustable straps and pockets (obviously).

Runs big, straps too long - but super fun to wear!
I should’ve listened to the reviews, in that the non-adjustable straps are way too long and don’t provide any support unless you get creative with your own temporary modifications. If you choose to rent this dress in spite of its strap flaws, I recommend ordering a size down for your backup size. I did wear this dress to the wedding because I didn’t have another option. I was able to make the dress work, and once on, it was fun to wear!

Great color!
Pardon the selfie, but loved wearing this jacket around town. The button is a bit low down the jacket, but I wore it unbuttoned and loved it. The color is great, and I dig the collar! Will hold on to this piece for a bit.

So much sparkle!!
The fit was great, and the dress made me feel very Old Hollywood! The sequins ended up bothering the inside of my arms as the night worn on, so fellow sensitive skinners out there beware! But in this case, worth it!

Beautiful detail, unique sleeves
This dress fit perfectly, and I loved the detail at the neck and sleeves. It hit me just above the knee (sorry, didn't manage a full body shot), but looked great with heels.

Loved the added sparkle
Easy extra piece of sparkle to dress up the evening. Not as fancy looking as other options, but the price was right!

Unique neckline!
The fit of this dress is great, and the color was perfect for a fall black tie event. The sequin detail scratched the inside of my arms when dancing, only reason I rated it a 4 inside of 5. Even still, I'd rent again.

Gorgeous in person, full skirt that looks great on the dance floor!
Great fit! I decided to go no bra, and used fashion tape it keep the dress in place. It was so beautiful and unique; got tons of compliments throughout the night. I wore 2.5 inch heels and they were perfect with the Long length.

The skirt is amazing! Awesome detail that made this dress stand out among other LBDs.
The neckline is stunning, and not too low cut. The rib cage is a little tight, but a bra wasn't necessary which made it work. With the back of the skirt, watch out for the lace. It got caught on the heels of my pumps at least once!

A little heavy, but fun!
Like other reviewers noted, these earrings are a little heavy, but fine for a couple of hours. Paired really well with the Shoshana Barbara Dress.

Fun dress for a great night
Wore this to a rehearsal dinner + dance. Fit true to size for me, and was long enough for me to wear with 2.5" heels -- and I'm a tall girl to begin with! Definite plus that it's easy to accessorize (I wore the suggested Badgley Mischka Blue Ice Crystal Earrings). Would definitely rent this dress again!

Great way to dress up an outfit!
Thought these earrings were so good looking, and really helped to dress up the wrap dress I wore to the wedding. I ranked them a 4 because I had a issue with the back to the earring getting stuck on the post at the end of the night. Otherwise, they were perfect and just what I expected them to be.

Cute dress, but not a great fit on me.
This was such a cute dress (and even cuter with the right necklace), but I didn't get to wear it because the arms were too small for me in the size 6, and the size 8 was too large overall. It's definitely a heavier fabric than it looks in the photos, so be aware of that.

Great dress all around - would rent again in a heart beat!
I wore this for my high school reunion party - and it was a perfect dress for the occasion. It's well made - and has lots of snaps/hooks to keep everything in place. The ruffles fall nicely along the neckline. It was a perfect length on me - but would be a little longer on girls on the shorter side. I'd go up a size for your back-up - it was a little tight in my rib cage area, but the 8 would have been too big.

Casual but cute
I agree with other reviewers...cute dress, but definitely more casual than the photo looks. It was short on me, so I wore it with tights and boots. It does stretch out with wear, so I recommend ordering down a size (at least for your back up). Otherwise, very cute and great for a date :)

Perfect amount of sparkle!
I wore this dress for New Years Eve, and thought it was perfect... TTS and a great length. I'm 5'10" and wore 3.5 inch heels and the dress wasn't too short. The back is adorable!
