Lovely Blue Lace in Flattering Fit and Elegant Length
This dress was an all-around winner! The blue lace was beautiful, the length was elegant and appropriate for a church setting (baptism), while the fit made me feel sexy and svelte. Highly recommend! As other reviewers point out, go one size up for backup. I'm usually a 4 and while that fit fine, the 6 was a little better fit.

Bump Friendly Summer Dress
I wore this for a gala and was 21-weeks (about 5 months) pregnant at the time. The empire waist allowed room for my small bump, yet it was evident for those that knew I was pregnant, which was exactly what I wanted because my in-laws wanted to brag. I sized up one size because with the pregnancy, my bust has grown and rib cage has expanded a little. I normally wear a size 2 or 4 in Badgley Mischka, but opted for the size 6. I would not recommend for women with a large bump (past 30-weeks or so). The yellow isn't as sunny as it appears in the photo, more of a gold-toned yellow, but still lovely.

Burst of Color and So Flattering
Loved this dress!!! The long was definitely long. I'm 5'9" and with 3.5" heels it was still dragging a bit, but it's meant to pool at your feet and that makes it look and feel so glamorous. People stopped me to pay complements all night long. I felt like a million bucks in this dress. Only thing to note is that it's A LOT of dress so I got quite hot out on the dance floor at my outdoor event in July. Highly recommend renting this one!

Show Stopping Crowd Pleaser
I rented this dress for a black tie optional gala (husband wore a tuxedo) and LOVED IT! Strangers stopped us to say how great we looked and compliment this dress. The color is definitely a bright pink watermelon and we stood out in the crowd, but the lace and scalloped edges gave it a sophisticated, elegant look that earned even the MIL and SIL seal of approval. As other reviewers have mentioned, the dress runs large. I am normally a size 4 and would have preferred the 2, but it wasn't available. The 4 fit well enough, but I recommend sizing down as it was a bit big. The length was perfect, mid-to-lower thigh, not too short (as was the other Shoshanna dress I had ordered as back-up in case the 4 was too large to wear). For pairings I opted for statement earrings and a rhinestone bracelet. Paired it with silver jeweled flats (again, outdoor event and wedges were just too casual). I highly recommend this dress! Absolutely loved it!!!

Pop of color, true to size but too short for my long legs
Loved the bright color of this dress and wanted to love the style, but it was just too short for my long legs and didn't flatter my small chest. I rented it as back-up to my first choice Shoshanna dress because my first choice wasn't available in my back-up size. I found that Shoshanna dresses run pretty true to size and opted to wear a similar style, which I LOVED (Watermelon Lace Dress)
