Stunning, beautiful, perfection. Seriously.
This dress is so beautiful. I wish I could afford to own it! I wore it for my son's baptism and it just looked amazing. The color, the detail, the flattering & demure fit. This dress is a total 10/10, five stars, two thumbs up, etc.

Flattering AND forgiving - and baby bump friendly!
I was a bit nervous about this dress with my budding baby bump, but the material is beautiful, soft, and very forgiving. The color is beautiful for late spring and summertime events, so bright and vivid. For me at 5'3'' the dress was a bit long (still had to hike it up with 4 inch heels) and loose around the shoulders. I think for someone bustier, the shoulders at least would not be a problem.

Beautiful dress with deep colors.
I really enjoyed wearing this dress. The material is pleasant to touch and retained shape really well. It is a lot darker in person than it looks in the pictures - I was expecting something a little lighter and springier - but it is still a beautiful dress. I'm deducting one star because the zipper was really tough to pull up and down, maybe not an issue with the design of the dress as much as the condition of the dress itself.

Nice colors, way too puffy.
The colors in the dress are really vibrant, but the skirt is really flared out. It's just an extremely substantive/voluminous dress for how fun and almost casual it looks in the pictures. I ended up not wearing it but maybe others will have better luck.

Beautiful, classy dress - perfect for fall or winter wedding!
This dress is fabulous. Elegant without being over the top, fashionable and trendy without being frou frou, comfortable without being shapeless. The lace neckline is so classy and adds just the right amount of interest to the dress. Highly recommend.

Stunning!
These earrings are gorgeous. Perfect for fall or winter events because they totally pop against darker colors and in darker lighting. Absolutely stunning - would totally recommend.

Beautiful dress, awkward fit
The title about sums it up - this dress is gorgeous and I was so excited to rent it, but the fit was really weird. It was really loose and bunchy all around the waist and chest, and the length was very short, even for a short person like me. All in all just an awkward fit - maybe it would look better on someone with a larger bust.

Beautiful and unique - perfect for a wedding in fall or spring!
This dress is gorgeous - I loved it. It runs a little large in the body, but in a cute way, like a shift dress should. The dress is cut short, but it's 'sassy' short, not 'slutty' short. It's a super fun dress and I got TONS of compliments!!

Disappointment
Normally I love Shoshanna and their dresses fit beautifully, but this one was kind of a hot mess. The bottom of the dress kind of bubbled out, which is not how it looks in the picture, and the top was really oddly structured so that it was too loose around the bust and too tight around the ribs (you'd think it would be the other way around). Just generally unflattering for my body type (small frame & short). It is a very light and airy dress with very little weight to it, and it also has a lot more white than what you see in the picture.

Beautiful colors!
This dress was gorgeous. I wore it to a beach wedding and the colors just popped alongside everyone else's summer brights. The fabric is heavier, but I felt that it gave the dress structure that held up in the heat. My one complaint is that the red and gold beading around the neckline was an absolute mess - I could tell because when I compared the brand new size 2 they sent as a backup, the size 0 I actually wore had several missing beads and it threw off the balance of the dress. Just be aware that if you rent this dress, you may end up with one that is missing some beadwork.

Great colors!
I absolutely LOVED this dress. I wore it for a rehearsal dinner for a southern wedding. Despite my pale post-winter skin tone, the colors in this dress popped and even made me look tan. I felt like a million bucks all night and received so many compliments.

Beautiful summertime dress!
This dress is beautiful and versatile. I wore it to a baby shower but would have felt comfortable wearing it out to any occasion - wedding, a nice dinner, church, whatever! The color pops and is perfect for summertime. The print is tasteful, and the jewel embellishments make for effortless elegance. Two thumbs up.

Adorable dress - runs large!
This dress was super cute however it does run a little large - I felt slightly frumpy in it. I loved the lace cap sleeves and the low back (you may need to plan your bra accordingly, as my first bra ran too high in the back).

Not good for small busts
This dress looked so awful on me I couldn't even wear it. The straps were too long and flimsy and it made my already small boobs look even smaller and more shapeless. I looked super washed out and overall the dress did nothing for my petite figure. I've seen so many awesome pics of people wearing this dress so don't write it off - but I wouldn't recommend it if you are not well-endowed (or even reasonably endowed).
