I rented the dress for a wedding I was attending and the dress was perfect for that type of occasion. The material was nice but there were some loose threads around the neckline. I contacted RTR and they immediately offered a discount and apologized for the oversight. The customer service was excellent! Being an RTR newbie, I needed to contact them a couple of times and used email. The response time was immediate. Now the dress... It actually took me a few minutes to figure out if I even had it on correctly. One of the shoulder seams is oddly midway between the shoulder and the elbow. I was adjusting the dress all night to keep the ruching in the right places. It disappeared along the bust line and seemed to lay only at my stomach area giving the appearance I had a belly - which, with the help of Spanx, I didn't have. I notice many of Vivienne Westwood's have that ruching, so I probably wouldn't order that style again. Though I am looking forward to another event so I can rent something else! We stayed at a hotel Saturday night for the wedding and my return date was on Sunday. Luckily there was a UPS Dropbox right outside the hotel, so we dropped right then. Super convenient!
