Rent the Runway recommended this dress for me, and I had had it saved as a favorite. First off, the photos on the website make it look wine colored. It is SO NOT. It's almost magenta, which is not a color I would typically wear, ever. The cut of the dress is quite flattering, although the darts at the front of it make the middle poof out a bit like the prow of a ship. Or maybe that's my body. It's an interesting effect. I loved the slash pockets, I think the length is terrific for shorter girls like me and I love the deep neckline. I wore a 10 with a shaper underneath and a black silk pashmina. It's a wonderful altenative to the Little Black Dress and would be woderful for winter parties. The magenta and black pattern is beautiful, rich and detailed, and the fabric isn't terribly heavy and drapes fashionably.
