V Plunge Red Long Sleeve Gown is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 6.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Black Tie Wedding gown I rented this gown for my sister's black tie wedding and received endless compliments of the colour, design and cut of this dress. Ae'lkemi sure know how to flatter the female form! The colour is a beautiful corally red is real life and matched perfectly with my slick of Lady Danger MAC lipstick. Some Hollywood tape from Forever New worked a dream and ensured no wardrobe malfunctions. I wore a high, silver pointed pump and earrings to match. Thank you so much GC for making my first rental a great experience! xx

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The ideal winter evening gown! I rented this for an event in August. It was a winner! The combination of long sleeves and the V plunged neck were so flattering and elegant, and the ideal decision for a cold winters night. The dress was in perfect condition and arrived on time

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great Christmas Work Party dress! I rented this dress for an executive Christmas party themed Hollywood Glamour. I received many compliments on the dress and was super comfortable in it. I'm only 163.5cm tall so wore this dress with 13cm heels and was able to walk and move easily. Very happy.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Beautiful Gown I rented this dress for a black tie event and it was absolutely beautiful.. I didn't end up wearing the dress though as I am only 5'1 and even when wearing killer high heels still risks tripping over it.. Such a shame, as I really loved it.. Another comment that I will make about this gown for anyone that wants to wear it is that it's very stretchy and there is no wire or plastic "grip" stitched into the low front V. So Hollywood tape is a must and if you have a good set of "girls" this dress may pose some challenges.
