Compliments Galore in this gown! Quality of gown exceeded expectations.

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.

RTR is a breeze now for the dress itself...

Fit was spot on. Color was spectacular. Beautiful gold threading underneath. Lace with a bit of "give" to the fit. Now the downside- dress arrived and was cleaned (orange dry cleaning tags stapled to the dress hangers) but I noticed the side zipper wasn't zipped all the way up. I thought it was perhaps an oversight. Until I tried to unzip to try on and had to fight the zipper just to get the zipper down. I was very cautious as I was afraid I would break the dress. Finally, the zipper gave way. Got the dress on. Got the zipper halfway up and it wouldn't budge- ughhh!!! I couldn't have been more frustrated. With my husband's help, before calling mercy and throwing the dress out the window, finally got the zipper up and wore the dress to my event. What do you know, getting the dress off had the exact same problem as when getting it on. Renter beware. I had read previous reviews and when others mentioned the sticky zipper, they weren't kidding. I got a lot of compliments. It's a lovely, jeweled tone which is perfect for this time of year. Just be prepared to do combat with the zipper!
