Looks great but tiny
Looked great with my outfit and accessories. I had to carefully arrange the contents in order to fit everything because it's very small. Fortunately, I have not upgrade my iPhone 4S to a newer one because my 4S barely fit and I needed to have my phone. Adding the iPhone, a credit card, driver's license, my hotel room cardkey,, some cash and a lipstick was very, very tight. The purse wouldn't stay closed when carrying it by it's chain, so it was only safe to carry it as a clutch, which was inconvenient at times. Beautiful choice if you only are carrying your lipstick, but if you have more, consider something slightly larger.

Different but a great look
The dress and the necklace I rented from RtR both garnered many compliments, but this bracelet was also a standout in it's own right. Several people stopped me to say how much they loved it. A perfect accessory, but be careful what you pair it with. It can snag on delicate fabrics. That wasn't a big problem with my evening's attire, but it did snag on the top I wore earlier in the day when I carelessly laid the bracelet on the top.

Gorgeous necklace
The RtR stylist suggested this necklace to accessorize the Badgley Mischka gown I rented. It was a perfect complement to the navy blue sequin gown and worked perfectly with the V neckline. A number of people complemented me about this necklace.

Fantastic dress that prompted nearly continuous complements!
I wore this dress to a black tie affair in Washington, DC. I received complements at the hotel, while waiting for a taxi, while walking from the taxi to the venue and at the venue. It was incredible! I would think that people in DC would be jaded but everyone loved this dress! The stylists at Rent the Runway's SoHo store assisted in selection and accessorizing the dress. I'm so impressed with the service! If you're anywhere near NYC it's so worth making an appointment. Even the other customers who were at the store we friendly so we all had fun. While I usually wear an 8, I usually need a 10 in formals, so this dress was pretty typical for me. Thus, I'll call it true to size. Now, on the other hand, the regular length is really, really long! I'm nearly 5'6" and was not surprised that the 10 long that I tried at the SoHo store was too long, even in 4" heels. What really surprised me that the 10 regular was also really long when I received it at home. I was lucky enough to find heels with a platform that were nearly 5" high. Wearing them, the dress barely touched the floor. The 3 1/2" heels I originally planned to wear would have had the dress dragging all night long. This could be a problem for women who aren't as tall. Other than the length, it was easy to wear and comfortable. The sequins didn't rub my arm or anything like that. Overall, I love this dress!

Fantastic dress! Fabulous look! Sensational color!
I rented this dress for a charity event in New York City where my company sponsored a few tables. Two very high ranking executives were supposed to be at our table. North American chairman for pharmaceuticals was supposed to attend, but she was unable. The president of the company did attend. Knowing that very highly placed executive women were attending I wanted something that would look great but not be "too much." This dress hit the right notes. It was trendy, being all lacy, but not overdone. The color in the photos is pretty accurate. It was exactly what I wanted.I felt great in the dress and received some complements. The positives are too numerous to mention. The color is great. The fabric has a sheen that's very pretty. The lace is great. The dress looked good even on my less than perfect figure. I looked good next to Neil Patrick Harris who, along with David Burtka, was sitting at my table. Not too many negatives. I did have to go up a size but even a size up was close fitting. The lace is a bit itchy.

Wonderful, impactful earrings that set off an outfit when minimal jewelry is worn
I read the details about the earrings but I wasn't really ready for the actual size of them. They're really big. And heavy. Really heavy. But they looked great and worked really well for me.

Loved this dress! Fantastic dress, fabric and details.
Love it. The neckline is a bit deeper than I thought, but the fashion tape that was included helps. I'm small chested but I needed the tape to keep the top from opening too much. Sizing was accurate. I'm normally an 8 and the 8 was a good fit. The 10 I also ordered was much too large. A very pretty dress. The photos do not do it justice.
