The dress that I originally wanted hadn't even arrived at RTR yet due to manufacture delays. The second dress didn't fit....the third dress was perfect, the ML Royal Treatment gown. That dress was AMAZING. Unfortunately, in the showroom the zipper malfucntioned and I had to be cut out of the dress and they did not have another available in my size. An RTR first, a customer needing to be cut out of a dress, as I was told by Emily. :( That would have been my hands down pick in this situation and the dress I would have rented if not for the malfunction. Emily did her best and found a suitable 4th option...this dress. It photographed in the showroom amazingly (thankfully I did get a pictured of me in the ML Royal Treatment gown too, also including that picture for your review as that would have been my pick in this situation!) and showed lighter in the picture at the event. It made my shape look amazing. I didn't care for the shoulder straps as they refused to stay up all night. I would use tape the next time to hold them up in place. The fit was true to size. I rented the long...I am 5'6" and wore 4.5" heels and I thought the dress ran a little short for being a long. My shoes peeped out from underneath. I'd advise anyone if they are able to make an appt. at the showroom to try dresses on prior to your events to do so. I was able to try on dresses and eliminate choices that didn't work and even tried on dresses for future events this summer. Thank you Showroom Staff for squeezing me in for a fitting. The Reem Acra Lady Bennet dress is gorgeous as well. And the ML Glamorous in Lace gown would be my choice for a more buttoned-up affair. It was very pretty as well. This whole expereince was a bit frustrating with renting and other issues, but in the end Emily was able to pull off a save for me. I would not have found anything in the stores for this price and quality. I was definitely the best dressed at this event. Thank you to the RTR staff.
