Worn to a wedding & would easily rent again for any other dressy event this season. I ordered the long based on reviews & description and was pleased with where it hit wearing a standard heel.  Even barefoot it was not touching the floor.  There was a slight gapping of fabric on my lower back that was more noticeable in my usual size 8 fit but less so in the backup size 10. Was able to wear a regular bra & smooth panty making this an even bigger winner!

Almost too good to be true - I was so comfortable in this dress yet felt like a million bucks. Endless compliments all night! 

I wore this to a Christmas Gala. It fits all the right places, and the length is perfect for us short girls (I’m 5’1 and wore a small heel and it was perfect). 

Great for a December wedding! Super comfortable, form fitting, may not be ideal for women with larger busts! (I’m a 36A and it fit me perfectly) 

The slit was a little higher than expected, but with tights and closes toe shoes I had 0 complaints! I was getting compliments all night! 

You do need a low-cut bra, and while I wore a piece of shapewear to smooth over my hips and belly, I did have to cut the “shorts” off because otherwise it was visible through the front slit. I would absolutely wear this dress again- very soft, stretchy, gorgeous color and lots of compliments!

Dress is great! Hides the tummy. I am 5’11” and the regular length was long enough. My backup dress was a 12 L and I don’t think it was more than half an inch longer than regular. If you have very large breasts, it may not fit well on top. I’m 36D and they barely fit into dress with an appropriate amount of cleavage. It is a beautiful blue color!

Beautiful velvet dress for a winter wedding. Rich dark blue color. Fairly low cut, gorgeous center slit. Velvet ribbing is flattering and smoothing. Shaping enhances hourglass figure. 

Sized up as I usually do in Soshanna: perfect through rib cage that way. Length great, slit did not trouble me; it is a deep neckline plunge, which I like, but you do need to be ready! 

I was the MC for an orchestra concert. This was the perfect classy/sexy gown. Easy and comfy to wear, a little challenging to zip but I managed without assistance. Got MANY compliments!

You can see from the other reviews how popular this dress is and understand why. It’s a beautiful deep blue color, stretchy and very comfy. I loved it as did everyone I was with. 

MyGot a lot of compliments and wore it with Lizzos yizzy body shaper so everything was sucked it. FYI be aware that it has a low neckline… oops

Got so many compliments. This dress was perfect! I'm usually between a 6-8 but I've gained a decent amount of weight (thank you, Covid) so I was stressing about this event but the 8 fit wonderfully. 

This fit just right. I was scared it would be too long for me, Im 5'4", but with my 4 inch heels it was just the right length. Absolutely in love with it and it shaped my body just right ! 

Very comfortable and fit well! Probably even better for smaller chest ladies but still worked well for me (34D). True to size! Looks much better in person for sure. A+++ 

The exterior fabric feels very luxe with a nice amount of stretch, so it was quite comfortable all night. The dress hugs your curves nicely, with a graceful drape but not lots of material. The V neck is very low cut, but I was able to wear a stick-on bra with it. The length was perfect with 2" heels. I felt like the dress needed a little embellishment at the waist, so I added the gold-tone chain belt (as I had seen someone on RTR before me do. Thanks for the great idea.) Got lots of compliments. 

The fabric is stretchy. It's so comfortable. I've rented multiple times.

Fit SO well. I loved everything about it!!

This dress fit great and was easy to dress up. It was also very comfortable and flattering.

Wear some bold earrings with in and a strapless bra. Thank goodness for the back up size. Had to wear the 8.

Loved this dress, very comfortable to wear, sexy and sophisticated at the same time 

So comfortable! I’m self-conscious of my hips & thighs & this material was flattering without being clingy. Super soft too! The fit was perfect & not too long so no need for super high heels. 

This dress is so elegant and comfortable. I didn’t wear a bra (although I could have).  The slit does go pretty high when you sit so for a winter event I was trying to close it to stay warm. The material is velvet with strip texture with a very vibrant almost glossy look. I would definitely rent again. I went with hair down based off other people’s pictures, but I wish I wore it up because the small cap pop shoulders were so pretty. 

The dress was comfortable and elegant. Thank goodness for the backup size of a 4R because the 2R was way too small- it had to have been a 0. The 4 was longer and looser than I expected. The dress wasn’t as form fitting since it was too big. 

Absolutely loved this dress! I'm 5'3 118lbs 34C 26inch waist.
Rented the 2R and the 4R and the 4 was beyond perfect. So comfortable and was able to eat and dance all night. I paired it with gold earrings and rose gold heels.

This dress is amazing! I felt beautiful in it - but it ran pretty small for me. I ordered the 14 and 16 (I’m a street size 10/12 but dresses are tough on me) and while the 14 was fine, the 16 skimmed my body and was more flattering. Such a great dress!

Perfect fit, has a little stretch. Was appropriate for a work event, where I looked classy and pretty but not boring and corny.

Received lots of compliments on this dress. I'm between a 10 and 12 and went with the 12 to be more comfortable and didn't have to wear Spanx - it hung nicely. The 10 would have shown more bumps which I didn't need at a sit-down dinner. 

I have a very large bust, 36H. The 14 fit but 16 fell better on the chest. The dress was very comfortable and very flattering. It hit the waist nicely and dropped and hugged in great areas. It’s got some give to it too which is beneficial when being 5 months post partum. I’m normally a size 12 or dress size 14. If you have normal size chest it’s true to size!

As the other reviews say, the color is magical. Shines a cobalt blue, with a gorgeous velvety shine.
