I received this as a last-minute replacement for another dress I had ordered that was either damaged or didn't get back in time to be shipped out to me. In terms of the Rent the Runway approach, the dress was a gorgeous replacement, very close to what I originally ordered in both color and style, but-for the odd, extremely deep cut of the chest. I considered wearing a cami underneath it because it was for an educational fundraiser, but couldn't get the straps to match up and there was way too much hanging out for me to be comfortable speaking with donors. I would have rented possibly for a nice date night, but I felt like my girls were spilling out the top. There was no way to adjust the straps or pull the dress down in the back to shift the neckline up any higher. In terms of quality, it is a surprisingly heavy (HOT!), luxurious material, the vibrant color was gorgeous, and the structure was solid; I would not have needed a bra and I don't think I could have packed one in there! It was a bit longer than I expected, right at mid-knee, which was almost too conservative with the low cut. I would love to own this dress, but would have to shorten the straps and the hemline.
