Wore this for an engagement party. Loved the colors and the basic fit but didn't like how the cap sleeves were constrictive and felt small.

Rented this dress for a summer wedding as the date of the best man and wanted something to coordinate with the wedding party colors. The colors of the dress and super vibrant in person and pop beautifully off of the satin fabric. The best feature is the pockets- you just can't go wrong with a dress that has pockets! It's fitted through the chest but flows at the waist which makes it extremely comfortable. I paired it with a RTR statement necklace and received compliments all night long. Can't wait to rent this again!

Really liked the cap sleeve and colors. Would have liked it to be about an inch longer, but that's just personal preference. I really enjoyed wearing it. 

I loved this dress -- amazing colors, beautiful material with a slight sheen, even better in person. The cap sleeves make it tight across the chest, especially if you're looking to dance with your hands over your head! It's definitely not LONG but most things aren't when you're 5'9. Material is on the thicker side so I'd consider this more of a spring dress than a dead of summer dress :)

Wore this to a wedding and I got so many compliments. It fit great and I love that it had pockets! My date didn't have to carry around my phone all night. 

True to size - fit like a glove and very comfortable. 

Been meaning to rent this for a while and I am happy I did! Rented for a wedding and it was a long day but was comfortable throughout in this dress. 

I wore this dress to my friends rehearsal dinner and it was perfect. I loved that it had pockets!  It was a little bit big in the waist but it wasn't that big of a deal. 

Loved this dress. Fit true to size, although it was a little tight in the chest (I'm a 34DD). Size 6 fit perfectly other than that, though. I thought it was flattering and cute, and got lots of compliments. Would rent this again!

This was my back up dress and thank goodness. The first dress was too small for me. I am 5'9" 165lbs. I have broad shoulders and even though this was a size up from first pick I still felt it was loose in the shoulders and waist. I would have preferred to wear an 8 in this. The dress is comfortable and breathable. It rained on the day of the wedding and I was assisted in coordinating, setting up and tearing down, cleaning and of course dancing. It got a little wrinkled at the waist but overall it held up nicely.

I rented this dress to wear for a wedding rehearsal dinner in Arizona and it was perfect! The dinner was outdoors but the fabric was breathable enough for the hot Phoenix sun. The colors were beautiful! The cap sleeves and the length (it was long on me - just above my knees) made it appropriate to wear in temple. I cinched it at the waist with a teal belt to make it a little more fitted. Overall a great rental!

I loved every second wearing this dress. It was perfect for an outdoor spring wedding in Florida. I was worried it'd be too hot because of the material, or the colors would make it too Fall/Winter, but nope! The material was perfect and the colors are so bright and vivid in person - really beautiful and modern floral-y. The cut of the dress made it covered-up enough for a wedding, and the colors/print made it perfect for a party. Danced all night and felt so special in the dress. I went with the 2 even though the top was slightly restricting because the skirt/hips on the 4 was too much on my frame. Able to wear a normal bra and no fuss trying to hem or adjust anything (like with other RTR experiences). Just easy to wear and so pretty - can't ask for much more! 

I loved the print and it was perfect for the spring baptism I attended. The fit was a little odd for me - tight across the shoulders and chest but with plenty of room around the waist. 

I Usually wear an 8 because of my bust.  I am a petit person, but am a bit overweight at the moment, so the 10 was tight around my bust and my arms had limited range of motion .  The dress fit my event perfectly... I attended a political seminar's evening event at a 5 star resort.  Th3e necklace was my favorite part.

I wore this to a wine tasting event and really loved it. I think Shoshanna dresses are, in general, great for curvier/bustier girls and this was no exception. I did size up because the waist was a little tight. I'm typically an 8 but the 10 was more comfortable for an event with a lot of eating & drinking. :) Not sure why my picture is so off-center!

Comfortable and easy to dance in! My backup size wasn't available so I was nervous relying on one size to fit, but it worked out great. Thin fabric and not much stretch, but thankfully the 2 worked out for me!

The dress fit like a glove. It was pretty tight on the top, but I have a full bust. The sleeves were a little tight on the arms, but I loved it regardless. It's a must-try

I wore this to a Christmas dinner and got many compliments. Very pretty colors. I would rent again. 

I absolutely loved this dress! The colors were really vibrant and stood out and it fit perfectly, especially in length. I also liked how lightweight it was. Others complained about the cap sleeves being tight, but they didn't bother me. I would definitely recommend this dress!

The 2 fit perfectly. A very fun, yet conservative dress. Wore to a rehearsal dinner and received several compliments on it.
