Beautiful Eggplant and lace!
As I am a 34DD, I typically wear an 8, thanks to my breasts. But this dress is made out of a wonderfully lined, stretch knit fabric, and without a bra, the 6 fit perfectly. The bodice has cups in it, so it gave me the support I needed. It also hid any lumps or bumps that I have. At 5'5" with a two inch heel, this dress was perfect. My only problem with it was that there was a hole in the side of the dress, where the seam had split. If I had noticed it in time, I could have fixed it. The other thing I didn't realize, is the back has bra hooks going up the back so you can close the lace back shut, if you don't want the peekaboo hole in the back, as shown in the picture. I'd rent this again.

These were a great size, weren't too large, weren't heavy at all. Worked great for my sensitive ears. My only problem with them is they looked a little worn.

Amazing and has pockets?!
This dress is the perfect cocktail dress, ever. As many of the other comments have said, this dress is much more of a purple than the wine color it's photographed as. It's still gorgeous, though. Being 34DD, it fit well in the bust, and didn't show much cleavage at all ("tasteful/classy cleavage.") And it has wonderful deep pockets. I had my small (three-four card) wallet, my cell phone, lipstick, compact, and deodorant wipes in the pockets and you couldn't tell at all. Who needs a clutch? If I had the money to buy this dress, I would.

Not for large breasts.
This dress was definitely too small for the large busted. My normal size is 8, and I tried to fit my 34DDs in this dress, and it wouldn't even zip up all the way. What I did get zipped up, the dress made me look boxy, and very unappealing. But, if you have Cs and below, this dress is for you. It is beautiful, though.

Perfect.
I love this little clutch. It has a pocket perfect for an ID and a credit card (or more). I was able to fit a lipgloss, mirror, pack of tissues, a Honda key, and my phone, along with the chain in there no problem! It provided just the right amount of glamor without being too overbearing for me. I loved that it was a hard case.

Pretty and light!
I was very disappointed at how dirty these where when I received them, but I was able to clean them and make them even better looking than before. They were very light for dangly earrings. I didn't notice them much at all during the ball. I can't stand heavy earrings, but these were perfect!

I got this with the matching earrings and it went very well with everything I had on! Wonderful. A little worn looking on the back of the necklace. Not noticeable, though.

Yes! Thank you!
This idea is absolutely brilliant. As a military spouse, hauling around a plethora of formal gowns from place to place it not ideal. So, Rent the Runway it is. But, what happens, if you rent something from RTR and the night before the ball you realize, it doesn't fit/looks terrible/not what you pictured? This is PERFECT. You can rent five dresses for $50 to see what looks good on you and what doesn't! Whoever came up with this idea, you are my new hero. Thank you for this service!

Wonderful!
This dress fit wonderfully! It hit the curves in all the right places, and looked great. My only problems were the arm hole was a little tight, and the dress hem was a little bit short. I'd recommend it, either way though. And for you Army Ladies, this looks okay with the Dress Blues. It looks great with the jacket, and okay with the pants. Almost clashes, but not enough to worry about.

Only okay.
This dress fit weird. It was too loose in the bust (32DD) but too tight in the waist (about 29") Though, I was sent a 6L, and I think the L was the problem. I loved the color of this dress, and the brocade part made me look like I had a flawless figure, but it just fit weird. And for you Army ladies, the blue didn't clash too bad with the Army Blues. It looked good with the jacket, and a little off with the pants.

Ooh la la!
This dress is sexy. I underestimated the sexiness. It fit like a glove. It looked absolutely fabulous on me, and fit perfectly! It's stretchy, which is a positive. My husband loved this one! My only beef with it, is it was a little short on the hem, not like in the photo. You could see my shoes, for sure.

I love, love, love this dress! It hits the curves in all the right places, and it's sexy, without being slutty. If I had the money, I'd go buy this dress. Though, I do have to say, if I didn't have spanx, I'd go a size up. Though, I do have 32DDs, so that might be a problem. My husband loved this dress, too.

Sexy, but not for me.
I tried on this dress as a apart of the Try On At Home Program. I really liked it on the model, it had potential! But, when I put it on me, it was just a little snug in the bust (32DD), so I couldn't zip it all the way. It looked okay on me, husband wasn't too thrilled about it. I liked it, but it wasn't for me.

This dress is amazing. Unfortunately, at the time, they didn't have my size in 40R, so I got it in 40L, which, still fit just fine, I just needed a higher heel. I loved how classy this piece looked, while still looking sexy.

This dress was simply amazing looking. I loved everything about it, but it sadly did not like me. It was a little snug all over, but nothing Spanx couldn't have fixed. Except for my chest area.

I wore these for a military ball. These were amazing in every way! They weren't heavy and they were quality metal, so my ears didn't itch afterwards. I'd buy these if I ever got a chance.

It's okay.
I rented this dress for a V-Day date with the girls. While it was pretty, and it fit okay, it didn't look very good on me. This was a last minute choice, due to the fact that they ran out of stock of the dress I originally wanted. The arms were a bit hard to move comfortably around in. I tried on a size 2 & 4. The 4 fit okay, and the 2, while it looked good on my mid section, I couldn't zip it up. I wouldn't rent it again.

Wasn't pleased.
This dress, while it fit well in the waist and bust, I could not move my arms in it at all, once zipped. I was not able to wear this dress. The material was nice, but it looked a bit worn around the cuffs.
