I LOVE this dress!
Wore this to my 42nd birthday party and everyone wanted to know where I "bought" it. This is the 3rd dress in this brand I've rented and they've all been hits. Nice thick fabric is flattering, fit is snug but holds you in and vert comfortable wear all night long.

So close to great...
The dress fit well; I have long arms and the sleeves were perfect. The cutouts were so low it couldn't be worn without being "indecent", even for a romantic date. Wish I could have made it work!

Springy and Fun
Rented this for a party and it was a nice blend of casual dressy for sitting out on the deck with some wine and friends.

Wow!
I'm not really a bracelet person but RTR sent this to me along with a different dress than I had rented when it became unavailable last minute. It was really a great piece and I would rent again for an ensemble that would show it off.

Adorable, but this brand just doesn't fit me. :(
Rented this for a party and I loved it--this is the second attempt at a Shoshanna dress for me and I'm just either too busty or my rib cage is too large or both. Same fit issue with both dresses is very different styles.

Great color, pretty lace!
This dress was sent as a backup when another dress I selected became unavailable. The color and dress were beautiful but it was too small. That said, I was sent a size smaller than I normally wear so I can't evaluate how the dress runs...definitely not big though.

This dress fit perfectly and I received so many compliments all night long!
It's a great pink color...favorite part, even with the cut out back I could wear a standard bra. I wore with nude patent pumps and it was a hit. I would totally consider buying this dress.

Beautiful but didn't fit :(
I LOVE this dress. It's so pretty; even more so than the photo. Unfortunately, it didn't fit me. I couldn't zip it around my rib cage. I'm a true size 12 and busty, and the hips and shoulders fit and I think it would have been fine at the bust. But even though I consider my rib cage to be average, the dress didn't fit. I think it runs small through waist to under the bust. I was so bummed, as it is an amazing dress and would be a flattering choice as well.

Pretty but not for me.
I rented this for my brother's wedding rehearsal dinner at a country club, but didn't wear it. It is pretty and well made, but didn't look good on me. The neckline just didn't flatter my busty frame, and it was too low cut on me. It wouldn't been a "wow", but not a good one. :) The one issue I had with the dress itself was the lace in front was about 2 inches above the lining, and I could not get it to stay down. That might have been from pressing and I did not try to steam it since I didn't choose to wear it. However, that alone would have kept me from wearing it. It was obvious. In photos by others, busty girls have pulling this dress off, but it wasn't a good choice on my body.

Classy and Flattering
I wore this to my brother's wedding and received a ton of compliments. The neckline is unique and makes the dress versatile: It can be dressed up (shoes and accessories) for a more formal event, or dressed down for a daytime business event. The fabric is a bit textured, which I didn't realize but liked, and it offers enough stretch to look like it was built for my body. It was super flattering and comfortable. I'd love to rent it again!

Flattering and Comfy
I wore this to a wedding reception. I liked that the fabric was stretchy enough to hug my curves, but thick enough to look smooth and flattering rather than tight. It was super comfy for dancing, and I felt comfortable raising my arms even with it being on the short side as it didn't ride up. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the twist of fabric under the bust wasn't flat against my body. The side view made me look a little heavier.
