Not giving up!
I'm a 0 and tried the 36 - too small lol. This dress has the potential to be killer but I won't know till I hit the right side. It's on the short side, so that worries me a bit with heels. The color is darker than the pics - Crimson more than red. Agree that there is not a lower horizontal strap. Sending back but I'll try again if I can get the 38

Bummed - so cute but too big
I've been waiting for this one to become available and finally got the 0. Unfortunately I found it ran really big. Too big to wear. It's adorable, I can just only imagine that the model is wearing a negative size of some sort. I'm usually a 0 or 2, and the 0 was a tent on me :(. So so cute though.

Classy and flattering
This was perfect for work - a great length, perfect true to size. The shape is form flattering without being tight. I had rented a previous shoshanna where the armpits were very tight, and I was nervous about the sleeves on this one because of that. No need to worry, the cut is spot on. Love this - will certainly rent again.

Got the xs and it's pretty big. Definitely a relaxed, boxy fit. Cute - nothing special or head turning, but a nice easy wear.

Very cute day dress
The overall fit is true to size. I found it had pretty small armholes, though. Disproportionate to the overall fit. But it didn't stop me from wearing it. Got lots of compliments. Easy to wear, fun, and flattering.

Great color great fit
I thought this dress ran very true to size - I didn't experience the tighter hip area that others did, even though I usually go for fit and flare because my top is smaller than my hips/butt. Maybe the sizes are cut differently? I had the 0. Fit was true to what is in the pics. Lots of compliments, easy and comfortable. Wore with nude strappy heels. A fun change from darker colors.

More purple than in the pics. This dress is lovely and comfortable. Very flattering. True to size but probably size down if you're on the edge.

Runs very small
Size up size up. I'm normally a 0 or 2 in RTR, small upper body/ribcage, and I couldn't get the 2 closed. The material is very thick/stiff. The lower body is slim fitting and then the top is tight. I maybe could have fit a 4, but not sure I would have even wanted to. It looks relaxed and breezy in the pics, but then is heavy and rigid in real life. Not my fave.

Wore this for a casual Easter lunch. A very pretty dress. Size down if any doubt - very relaxed fit. Short, especially in the slip layer. Overall an easy, pretty outfit - will probably choose again :)

Cute and flattering
I didn't want this to be tight, so I followed the other reviews and sized a bit up (normally 0 or 2, went with the 2). It was perfect - the dress is still short and fit/flare, but doesn't fit too tight in the waist. The material is thin, so it looks much better not fitting too tight, imo. A great party dress. Can err dressier or more casual, depending on accessories/styling.

Fit was relaxed and spot on. I'm normally a 0/2, and wore the 38. It had lots of room (not baggy, but relaxed). Very short. Wore it to two parties with cowboy boots and it got compliments galore.

Cute but runs small
In the size 0, I found this to run small. Not sure if that's universal with all the sizes. The waist is VERY small and the zipper sticks right at the waist, making it tough to get into. Shoulders are also quite small. I may try it again in a size up, as it was very cute. Very heavy material - would be cute in fall/winter with tights.

Close but not quite
The dress overall is large for the size, but the armholes are shockingly small. It was digging into my armpits, but I had tons of room everywhere else. Would be great for a work or everyday look, but I couldn't handle the small armholes.

Stunning and uniqie
This dress is perfection. Not sure when I'm sending it back :). It runs a touch small through the body, I was scared when I could only get the 2 as I'm usually a 0 when I rent from rtr, but then it was perfect. The detailing is unique and flattering. This will turn heads no matter where you wear it.

Absolutely amazing
This dress is simply fantastic. Fun, flirty, interesting, beautiful. My original dress was damaged, so I exchanged for this at the Georgetown store, and it was lightyears better than my original dress. This is outside my usual price range for party/night-out dresses, but I'm so glad to have been able to swap for it. I would say that it runs slightly small - I've worn other RTR's in 38, but when I found this one it was a 40 and it fit perfectly. I'm normally a 0. The inside layer is quite snug (intentionally) and then the outer later is textured and swings beautifully at the bottom. Rave reviews all night long - if you have the chance, this is a must rent :)

So sad, couldn't wear
The S was damaged, so RTR contacted me ahead of time to arrange a different backup. Sadly the XS arrived damaged, too. Looks like the precious wearer sat in it for a long time. The seam under the zipper was torn out and there was a bulge in the area that was (for me) right above my butt. In theory, this dress is awesome. Great mix of edgy and fun. Was so looking forward to wearing it. Not sure leather holds up to multi-user rental, as it does tend to stretch to each wearers proportions.

Pretty dress, but didn't wear
This dress is lovely, first of all. But I echo some of the other reviews that something is off in the fit of the top piece. The darts are odd, giving both a puckering and a squishing effect. I'm almost 5'7" and the length of the bottom was near to my knees. The sheer bands give it a little "oomph" and would I'm sure be perfect for a wedding, but overall this wasn't a great fit or match for me. Interestingly the 0 and the 2 fit essentially identical. I'm normally a 0 in RTR.

A total showstopper. This dress is a perfect 10 - looks both classy and sexy. It is SHORT, so be prepared for that. I'm 5'7" and it was definitely mini on my. The tutu effect in the bottom kept it from looking scandalous, though. Rave reviews from everyone.

So so fun!
What a fun dress! I wore this to a black and white themed party, and got too many compliments to count. It has a comfortable, non-clingy fit, but comes across as super sassy. The flirty skirt is perfect, and just overall it was a blast to wear and fun to dance in. Love it.

A very classy dress
Wore this to a charity luncheon. I thought it was right on the mark for that. It's subdued but fun to look at, the length is appropriately longer, and the material is substantial. I wore my normal size 0 - the waist was a but bigger than I would have liked, but because of the overall fit/style it didn't look bad.

Really nice, although I didn't wear it
I got this as a backup because my first choice was damaged. It was a nice necklace - VERY heavy, though that's probably to be expected. It's a bit thicker/chunkier than I expected. I ended up going bear neck, though I might have anyway just because I liked the outfit that way. I found that because of the weight and length, this really swung around a lot, and I thought it might have gotten in my way during a big girls night out. Don't mean for this to be a negative review - it's really a great piece, and I would probably consider it again for a different outfit/occasion.

Get ready for a good time :)
Could not be more fun. Compliments all night long! This is very easy to wear - the waist is stretchy but gives you a nice grip. Wore it with a rockin' pair of red heels and danced the night away. I thought it ran fairly true to size with the following qualifier - I'm about 5'6 1/2". If I raised my arms above my head (we danced a lot), it definitely gave me a wedgie. So for length the shoulder to inseam length is not incredibly generous. Probably couldn't be longer without making you look like you were wearing a diaper. If you pull your arms out of the fringe sleeve (and just let that drop down), then you can get around this. Honestly, it's not noticeable until it's dancing time. Fantastic - everyone told me I should buy it. Just fun, fun, fun.

Glad it was my backup
I liked this dress, but it was not flattering on me. Too big on the top and in the waist. The back was sexy, and the material was nice, but having it too big made the trim on top seem ridiculous. Might work on someone else, though - I have a small chest.

Eek - not flattering
I felt like a sausage - it was just not flattering. Not sure if it was my body type or the size or what, but I squeezed in and it was just wrong all over. Fortunately was my backup.

Adorable - looks like a pixie with some great gold heels
This is a great Lilly dress - dressier than most Blossom styles, but not over the top. Beware that it does run small in the band across the top - the chest itself is the same size as most blossoms but there is embroidery around the very top band that is disproportionately snug - sort of right along your breastbone. That being said, loved this one so much I bought it afterwards :)

Couldn't make it work
I wanted to like this, but I found either the fit was weird or I was just incapable of putting it on. I have a very small ribcage and for the life of me could not figure out how to get it zipped over my ribs. Not really sure what it would have looked like on.

Amazing - looked and felt fantastic in this. The shoulder is so fun and can be worn in a couple of different ways, I found. Great fabric - feels expensive and is form fitting without being clingy. Got compliments all night - felt like a million bucks. May rent this in red and blue, too, in the future.

Nice, but nicer on the model
A really pretty dress - sequins are subtle but not quite as subtle as they look in the picture. The model is VERY curvy and fits her like a glove - I work a 2 and found it for fitting but not va-va-voom like I would have liked. Would have worn a 0 if they had it. All in all, comfortable and pretty, but not a show stopper on me. Long worked well on me (5'7" with 3.5 inch heels)

Very cute, easy to wear
This was my backup dress, and I didn't end up wearing it as my first choice was great. It was a great dress, though. One of the other reviews said it was more red in person, which is why I ordered it - I disagree. It comes very much as pictured, and looks much more 'flame' than 'red'. Lots of orange tones, so didn't really work for a christmas party feel. Comfy, and I thought ran a touch big. I'm normally a 2 and I the 0 fit me best.

Cute Cute Cute!
A fantastic party dress - overall adorable and easy to wear. Size it according to your torso/rib/chest size - I normally wear a 2, but my upper body is small so I actually wore a 0 in this. Glad I sized down in my backup size. I'm 5'7 and it was slightly longer on me than on the model pictured - still swingy and flirty and cute.

What an amazing dress - a total knockout! It ran true to size and was incredibly comfortable - the material is thin and stretchy, but has a nice inside liner. Be warned - the size and fit says to wear spanx - only if you want people to be able to see your spanx. There is absolutely nothing hidden in this dress, and the material shows EVERYTHING. If you think you're going to need/want to wear something under your dress, this isn't the right pick. That said - it's a total 10 - I wanted to keep it!!!
