The gown was not my first choice and it was one size too big, however it did run a bit small. To make it work I wore a strapless push up bra to add padding. The corset feature of the dress was nice! I did not have time for any alterations and being I have a small waist, the mid section was too big. If the fasteners were a few inches farther back, it would have fit better. A 6L probably would have fit perfectly. The outer zipper also did not work properly but the inner one did. All this said..the gown is GORGEOUS. I received many compliments from both men and women. One very distinguished man told me my gown was "To die for...TO. DIE. FOR." The color is brilliant and the fabric is heavenly. Not having to pack a gown to travel to DC with was also a plus. Rent the Runway agents did everything in their power to rectify a bad situation. The gown I ordered somehow became unavailable 2 days before the ball and they sent 2 other options (Both 6L's and both were too big) so we went with my original 2nd choice. I will use Rent the Runway again!
