Loved this dress! Rented for a holiday party and got lots of compliments. Definitely a very unique look. A few things to note: (1) There are shoulder pads! I loved them but I know they are not for everyone, (2) The dress is shorter than I realized. I'm sort of bending forward in the photo, so you can't see the length that well, but if you're above 5'6", I would definitely wear it with tights (3) The silk material is pretty lightweight, which I liked because it was really breathable, and (4) Yes, the collar is jeweled - not a necklace!

I absolutely LOVED this dress! I rented this for a beach vacation (easy to pack!) and paired it with a jean jacket for a casual dinner. The material was super light and breathable - I felt very comfortable wearing this in the Caribbean heat. The back dips low, so I opted not to wear a bra, which was not a problem because the material in the bust has some gathering (plus, I'm not that busty!). The lengths of the straps are adjustable, so I didn't have to worry about pinning the front. It was roomy in the hips. The Petite length was perfect for me to wear with flat sandals. If I was to wear this dress with heels, I would have gotten the Regular length. Over 50% of the time I wear a S in dresses, but the XS fit me, no problem.

Fun, casual dress that's very easy to wear. I paired it with strappy flat sandals, earrings, and stacked bracelets. It's definitely very loose-fitting -- I probably could have sized down to a XS, so I recommend getting a smaller 2nd size, just in case. One watch-out is to be careful when selecting which bra to wear with the dress. While I didn't need to wear a stick-on bra like others had suggested, the front + back slits and the arm holes can be a little low, so I would make sure to choose a strapless that is low-cut.

I wore this dress to speak on a panel, and I felt classy and professional for the event! I paired it with black tights and black booties to dress it down a little, since the panel was in the morning. The dress runs really true to size and is a great length if you're on the shorter side like me! It's also great if you're straight up and down - it gives you a great feminine silhouette. Loved ti and will definitely rent again!

Super figure flattering, elegant, and classy. I particularly loved the gathering/ruching on the shoulder. I'm short, but loved the longer length and thought it actually ended up making me look taller. I wish I had this in my wardrobe to wear all the time, but I'll just end up renting it again!

Obsessed with this necklace. Got so many compliments on it!

One of my favorite formal dresses I've ever worn. The draping is absolutely beautiful and made me feel like a Grecian goddess! The color is beautiful and perfect for spring/summer events. I loved the belt because it makes it more dressy and great for nighttime occasions. Also, I found that the belt/waist area is slimming and really flattering (I'm sensitive about this area of my body, so I loved this part of the dress). Finally, the length was great. I wore 4" heels and wasn't stepping on it at all throughout the night. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I wore this dress while wine tasting in Sonoma. It's a really easy dress to wear - you could pair with heels for a summer night out or wear during the day with sandals. I really liked the ruching on the one-shoulder - it made the dress special and unique. Also, since I'm on the shorter side, I appreciated the length of this dress since it hit me right at mid-thigh. The draw-string waist makes it such an easy fit. I felt comfortable and pretty all day long! Would definitely rent again!

I wore this dress to a close friend's wedding - perfect for dancing and twirling all night long! The material has some give, so eating, drinking, etc. was no problem at all. I was obsessed with the color - it's actually a little richer and more jewel-toned than what's shown in the photo. The dress runs a little small. 95% of the time I wear a size 2, but I definitely had to size up to a 4 in this dress. It was pretty tight in the torso and waist. However, when I sized up, the strap was a tiny bit loose in the shoulder area.

Loved this dress! The blue color is stunning and I was obsessed with the black lace detail peeking out under the hem. The top part is a nice black silk that's very breathable and comfortable. I wore this dress to a bachelorette party, but it would be great for any cocktail party or birthday party. Got lots of compliments at the party and when the photos went up on Facebook later! Some people warned against it being a little tight against the hips. I didn't find it snug at all, although I am pretty straight up and down. It fit me well, but I would size up for your back-up size.

Loved the way this dress defined my waist - thought it was super flattering! Plus, it's tailored really well, so you feel really secure in it and aren't afraid of any accidental flashings! :) Would be great for anything from work to a picnic party!

Loved this dress!! I wore it to a 4th of July party and it was perfect for the occasion (especially with my red RTR wayfarers - love!!). The dress is a really nice-quality thick cotton linen, so it can definitely be dressed up with shoes and jewelry. However, I wore it with sandals, and it still looked fantastic. The length is great, especially if you're petite. One thing - although the boning on the dress makes it very flattering, it gets a tad uncomfortable if you're drinking/eating/sitting down for a long time. Not a deal breaker at all - just a little word of warning if you're thinking about having a feast while wearing this dress :)

This dress was really gorgeous and unique in person. I loved the print, the slits at the bottom, and the straps. So beautiful. However, I wear a size 2 99% of the time and I was SWIMMING in a size 2. Everything was big -- it was baggy around my body after I zipped up the side, it was too long, and the straps were especially way too long. I'm not even sure if a 0 would have fit me correctly. I would say to be careful renting this dress if you're short (below 5'4") and have a small frame. Maybe call one of the stylists and get a second opinion on whether this would fit with your measurements. However, if you're tall - go for it!!

Loved this dress so much. I felt super elegant and was obsessed with the back. Also, since I'm pretty short (5'3"), I was happy with the length. I wore my standard 4" heels and the length was great! Had to deduct one star though because it took me forever to get on! The straps are really complicated, so I would make sure to look at the photos on this site and try to get all the straps in the right place BEFORE you step in to it. Takes some work, but worth it!

Totally loved this Shoshanna dress! I wore it to a post-wedding brunch and I got so many compliments from everyone. The colors are true to the photo -- it's a wonderful, bright orange that really pops! The material is a little heavier, so it can easily be dressed up or down. I almost always wear a size 2 in everything, but ended up wearing a 0 in this dress. I found that there was too much extra material in the back/shoulder area in the size 2. When you rent your second size, I would definitely size down.

I wore this dress to a friend's birthday party and got dozens of compliments all night! Super form fitting around the butt/hips, but because the fabric is thick and has stretch, it's really flattering. I felt awesome wearing this dress! The only issue was the belt came unsnapped really easily. This was especially true because the dress runs small, so a 38 was a little snug on me around the waist. I would definitely size up for your back-up.

This dress was unreal. So, so flattering. Makes your waist look tiny, and the cut and the shoulder draping make this dress so unique. You're guaranteed to get a ton of people asking about where it's from (it happened to me!). The material is a little thicker, so it's definitely not for summer. But I might rent this again for a wedding I have coming up in the late Fall - would be perfect! Warning: does run a little small. Had to really suck in to get the last bit of the zipper all the way up!

I loved the black straps, the subtle pleating, and the color of this dress - really pretty jewel tone! All the ruffles on this dress made it so cute and fun. Although I would beware of those front ruffles... like Olivia said, not super flattering because they make you look wider than you already are. If you have a narrow frame though, you should be fine. Overall, this is a really youthful style that would be great for a college date party or a fun night out.

Loved these earrings and will DEFINITELY rent again! They are super lightweight and have a cool antique-vibe to them, as others pointed out. I noticed that they look really sparkly in some of these photos -- I think they can definitely be dressed up or down, so don't be deterred if you're looking for something lowkey. These would still be a great choice!

I wore this dress to an outdoor wedding in early June. The print was perfect for the season! It fit really well, but beware if you're tall - this dress will be short on you! I loved the sweetheart neckline -- it gives the dress a young, flirty style. Would definitely rent again. (P.S. Check out the bride's earrings... they're from RTR too!)
