Ideal for a classy event, but not overly formal.
Wore this dress to a best friends' baby shower I hosted. The color was fantastic, and it pops even more with a tan! The belted look hides the hips & tummy, although I will say this was a little more of a "corseted" feel than some of the Shoshanna dresses I usually rent. Clarify: there is NO corset, but you really have to have a pretty small waist to feel comfy in this one. I don't think I would have recommended this for the overly busty ladies, either, as I was pushing it & I'm not huge (plus I had on Spanx!) I would have liked to see the next size up on, but wouldn't say this runs TOO small.

Perfect LBD!
I ended up wearing another Shoshanna dress that I rented, but this one was a solid contender! Like all Shoshanna dresses, this really emphasizes a little waist & hides the tummy & hips in a flattering way. This dress has a great fit; a perfect LBD for almost any occasion.

Sparkly & special without being over-the-top.
Like all Shoshanna dresses, this one hides the bad & emphasizes the good! I'm a little curvy, and these dresses just make your waist look tiny, while hiding any post-baby muffin top. I also find her dresses great for downplaying busty figures. The fabric is silver lace over a pale pink, but the dress photographs silvery. I wore it with some funky black heels that made it a little less precious & got compliments all night!

Concert Chic
Rented this dress for some special Panic shows at a small club & it was so crazy cool. I would mostly recommend this dress for spring/summer b/c it's so light & airy (just a little sheer...I wore nude bra underneath), but paired with black tights & black boots it was perfect for dancing all night! Although it has fluttery little "wings" on each side of the dress, the dress is very flattering. Hides a bigger bust & tummy that is not so flat after 2 kids. Loved it & wish it was mine! May have to rent again in warm weather!

Cute but not for a C cup
Very cute dress, though it did not work for me. It is a beautiful print, short & flirty. This is not a good fit for bustier girls (I'm a small C cup), and even while trying on I kept having to tug up the front. I returned early & didn't wear to my event after all (would've worn the 6, if weren't for the bust).
