I am usually in between a 4 and a 6. The lacy material was very soft and comfortable, and the cut was amazingly flattering. The color is a fantastic, shimmery blue-violet hue. The fabric stretches enough that I think I may have been able to pull off a 4. I wore regular length (I am 5"3") and it definitely fell to the floor; wearing 3 inch heels was just right to pull the look off. My only complaint is the boning - I have worn dresses before where a better job was done to support the torso. Either the problem is the way the boning was sown, or perhaps its just the asymmetry of my breasts that is the issue. All night I was very conscious about the right side of my dress as I had to adjust it often because the boning on that side was almost jutting through the fabric (the left side however had no problems). I placed a piece of moleskin over the fabric so that the boning would not jut into my chest too much, but the fabric would then fold over the boning and people could see the moleskin. Thankfully I was not the only woman who consciously or consciously was adjusting her dress, so I stopped minding. The accessories that were matched with the dress (Ocean Moon earrings by Badgley Mishka and Pearl Paradise Bangle Set by Chamak/Priya Kakkar) were the perfect compliment - I wish I could have kept them! This dress and the accessories definitely made me feel like the belle of the military ball, and I look forward to renting from RTR for the next event.
