Classy with a twist!
This was a classy dress for an elegant wedding, with just that extra fun twist! I got tons of compliments, and LOVED the pockets! I'm 5'7" and one review said to get the "Long" if you planned to wear heels, which I did, and was VERY happy with the length. One of the eye hooks was missing on the back of the dress, so people kept trying to re-hook it for me. Just a small fix that may want to be done. But, otherwise, it was great!

I'm pretty solidly a size 4, but this was very tight across the hips and I could not zip it up. My fault for not reading the reviews better and sizing up to a 6.

Loved the colorful and playful nature of this dress.
This was a great dress to wear for dancing the night away at a friends wedding. Super comfortable and very flattering. I keep thinking I'll be able to fit back into a size 2 but find myself pretty solidly rocking the size 4 after the birth of my daughter (momma's got hips now!), and this was a flattering shape and fit.

Easy, colorful option for summer.
Loved this dress. it was super comfy and great for a casual rehearsal dinner. I am a little small in the chest, so the dress was a little large in that sense, but otherwise, it worked great. it wrinkled easier than I would have liked, but nothing I could do about that.

comfortable, flattering dress
I LOVED this dress. I normally wear a 2, but the only option was a 0, so I went for it and it worked out just fine! I had legs for days in this dress and got so many compliments!

Cute but runs very small
I was really excited to wear this dress and had it saved in my favorites for the past few months, just waiting for the right event. So when I had a wedding I wanted to rent it for, I jumped at the chance. I got this as my 2nd dress option, so I only got 1 size (a 0,zero). I was really disappoitned because all the other Shoshanna dresses that I've in the past fit me perfectly in a zero. Otherwise, I was pleasantly surprised to see that the top, blue portion of the dress is more of a silky material than just a cotton button up material that I was expecting. I would definitely try to rent this again, but in a more appropriate size.

Sexy, but still classy
I wore this dress to a wedding and outdoor reception. Not only did I receive a ton of compliments, it was perfect for a warm evening where we danced the night away! The snaps on the back did seem to be coming a bit worn, from all the use, but either way, it didn't negatively impact the feel or look of the dress. I highly recommend this dress!!!! can't wait to rent a dress from this designer again!

Simple and classic
I am a huge fan of Shoshanna dresses, and have rented only her designs from RTR because I know they fit me. While I loved this dress and it was comfortable, it was probably my least favorite of the dresses I've rented. This wasn't a fault of the dress, the designer, etc. just my personal opinion and how I felt in it. I did receive MULTIPLE compliments and LOVED the pockets, so no compliants about the actual dress itself. Just wish I had gone with something a little more out there. Either way, still planning to use RTR and Shoshanna dresses in the future.

First RTR experience- didn't disappoint!
The pockets on this dress were the best thing! It was such a perfect dress to wear to a fun wedding. Since it was my first RTR experience, I ordered a 2 and a 4, since I normally am one of those sizes. The 4 fell off me, and the 2 was slightly too big, but still managable. My own fault for not ordering properly.

A classy, yet fun dress that gave me just the right amount of pizzaz!
I absolutely loved the way that the dress fit! It was snug without being uncomfortable, and just the right length. I received so many compliments when I wore it to an outdoor rehearsal dinner. Pair with a neutral pair of heels, or a fun pair of sandals, this was a great choice! I normally wear a 2 or 4 in regular dresses, but finding that I am consistently wearing a 2 or 0 in these designer dresses!
