I was so happy with my first Rent the Runway experience! I ordered two sizes of this Carlos Miele dress. The stylist suggested sizing down for my second size, but I ended up wearing my usual size. Unfortunately, both dresses arrived very wrinkled. Silk does not box up well. I was very nervous about trying to get the wrinkles out as I didn't want to ruin the fabric. I ended up using a cool iron, as was suggested on the dress tag, and it worked perfectly! Wrinkle free, the dress was BEAUTIFUL and perfect color to stand out in crowd of black dresses and suits. One strange thing I noticed was that the 34 was a few inches longer than the 36, though both were ordered in regular length. Also the hem of the 34 looked very different than the 36, as though someone had fixed it poorly. I also ordered the Mystery Bling and received vintage teardrop earrings, which went perfectly with this dress. They would have also gone well with my backup dress, Carmen Marc Volvo Major Moment Gown.
