Pros: The color combination of champagne lace and navy skirting was just simply amazing. The fit was extremely comfortable. Surprised to find the 14L and 12L to be far too large. Unfortunately the 10L was already booked out to another customer. Now for the Cons: 10R on someone 5'9 wearing 3" heels was still just silly. I truly needed the 10L. There is a slip underpinning and it never felt quite secure. You will need an extra set of agile hands to get these buttons secured! Once my husband got the gown buttoned, the hook and eye came undone. It had arrived this way and I had just assumed it wasn't properly fastened once it was received in. I do believe now the threading has just come undone and will need to be properly looked into before it goes out for the next renter. The gown itself may not photograph as elegantly as the image above. Don't let that stop you from renting! I had people coming up and stopping me all night long to tell me that my gown was their favorite. I was worried I had chosen too conservatively but clearly that wasn't an issue! We were unable to get any full length photographs. In the second photo you can see my husband unbuttoning the gown to try attempt to fix the hook and eye on the underpinning, all smiles, this gown is GORGEOUS. **It should be noted this gown has a very high waist, think right below your breasts** My experience with RTR was 5 stars from start to finish. Customer service was excellent, fast, top notch and I will Rent the Runway for all of my events in the future.
