I had originally rented two different dresses for a formal event, but one of the dresses was unable to be shipped due to the previous renter not returning the dress on time. Consequently, RTR allowed me to select two different dresses to rent at no cost. I chose a blue one, and without loving any of the other options, I decided to give this one a try. The theme for the gala had something to do with the 50's, so I thought the velvet would be a fun "hollywood glam" nod to the 50's (maybe??). I ended up not liking the way the other two dresses looked/fit, so I surprised myself and went with this option. It fit great and looked amazing. My only complaint is the hanger strings kept wanting to pop out of the back of the dress, and because it was a rental and not my own dress, I didn't want to cut them off.
