Sexy but classy
Very comfortable fit w/ standard bra. Length was quite short even on my 5'2" frame, but the capped sleeves and semi-relaxed fit kept it classy. This is the only dress I've worn that received just as many compliments from men as women. It's the perfect RTR dress because the retail price is too expensive and it's memorable (so can't be worn too often).

Straps were too long, bust was too tight
This was the first time I did not wear a RTR dress. I've rented this brand 3 other times and all of them fit perfectly (size 2). For this dress, the size 2 bust was a little too snug. I probably could have worn it if the straps weren't 1.5 inches too long. The size 4 bodice was too loose all over. Disappointed that I didn't get to wear it since the color was quite vibrant and fun.

Perfect for a derby-themed wedding
I have rented 3 different Shoshanna dresses and they all fit pretty well, but this was definitely the best! It gave me a curvier figure while still being super comfortable. I could eat, drink, and dance all night in this dress!

Perfect fit for a formal fundraiser
The dress fit perfectly! So comfortable and the deep pockets were a plus. It gave my straight frame a more shapely appearance. There were a few snags in the dress that were only noticeable close-up. I wore it as an alternative to a long dress for a "Tuxes and Tails" event. It would probably be too warm for me if there was dancing involved. Received compliments all night!

Elegant and unique
Loved the fabric and fit. Everyone kept saying how elegant the front was and how cool the open back was. It wasn't the sexiest dress on earth, but it was comfortable, pretty, and unique. The latch at the top of the "cape" did come loose and actually fell off. Fortunately, the wedding planner had a safety pin (which I'd recommend bringing along).

Beautiful color even at a humid wedding
This dress was a little smaller at the waist than the other Shoshanna dresses I've rented in the past, but I could still wear my usual size 2 with the help of spanx. And even though the wedding was very hot and humid, it didn't show sweat. My only complaint is that the lace around the chest did not lay flat and you could see my bra is some pictures. It may lay better with larger busts or use some double sided tape.

Perfect for a sunny outdoor wedding
Loved the colors and the cut. I ordered a size 2 and 0 since many reviews said it runs slightly large. But my waist doesn't nip in as much as most ladies, so I ended up wearing the 2 (I couldn't even zip up the 0) and it fit fine. The capped sleeves and narrow skirt opening was a little restricting. And I actually ripped the dress while raising my right arm in the air (I blame Beyonce). Good thing RTR has insurance! Fun dress for a California wedding, but I probably won't rent it again.
