Be different - Wear a Little Brown Dress
Size worn: S
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Party
This dress is HOT! It hugs every curve and provides little room for forgiveness if you've been lax about making it to the gym, but once you get zipped into this dress (you'll need a friend to help you), you will realize it was all worth it. Tell him to wear a bib because he will be drooling.

I was worried the dress would be unflattering and too tight, but I think it actually was tight in the right places and ultimately fit well. I'd definitely recommend this dress!

Got lovely compliments. It was definately a one of a kind at the party. It was comfortable and form fitting at the same time. I loved it! The picture does not do the dress justice. Would rent Herve again!

I wore this dress to a cocktail party and the compliments were flowing all night! The dress was sexy, yet elegant. I didn't want to take the dress off. I am a tall woman and this dress was a perfect length on me. I loved this dress!! I hope I have another event soon, so I can rent another Herve dress.

I am so crazy about this dress - I considered stealing it. I rented it for a rehearsal dinner (actually - I started out needing a gown for the wedding - the Nicole Miller Drop Dead Gold Gorgeous Gown, also amazing - the following night, and got this as my 2nd dress for only $25!! AMAZING.) It was so pretty, classy, fit like a glove, and was all around perfect.

The dress was gorgeous. I rented the size small too and it fit but it looked kinda off but luckily the x-small fit like a dream and looked just great. The colour was gorgeous and I got a bunch of compliments throughout the night. I would definitely recommend this dress as it is very classy yet sexy at the same time :)

This was my first RTR dress experience & it couldn't have been better. Everything from the packaging & goodies included to the convenient return process. I've rented 3 dresses since and nothing beats the feeling of wearing something so beautiful & fashionable & being able to afford it at the same time!

Why do Herve dress sizes vary?
Size worn: M
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Wedding
I rented an Herve in size Medium previously and it fit perfectly. However, I could not even get into this Medium-sized dress. Extremely tight! And not in a good way. If you have curves I would advise you pass on this dress.

This dress runs true to size, but it is pretty snug. However, even though the dress was tightly fitted I was completely comfortable all night! I definitely recommend this dress for any occasion.

Simple yet sexy. Classic.
Size worn: S
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
This dress was a little big up top for me- it was my backup so I ddin't have the extra small, and so I was pulling it up all night because the straps were a little long but I didn't want to pin it because I didn't want to ruin the dress. My bra was actually peeking in a couple of pictures. I should have gone with the XS for sure - I ordered this dress for another wedding coming up and got the XS, and plan to buy the double sided tape that is not damaging for the dress to make sure there's no peerage. Truly, though, overall it's a beauty. Can't go wrong with Herve Leger - the band dresses are super flattering and hug you in all the right ways. And you can dress it up or down with accessories. Definitely recommend it!

Beautiful dress, it fit well in the hips and mid-section but was too big in the bust. Not meant for bigger pear shapes.

Flattering dress that photographed well. I wore the XS instead of the S because the shoulder straps on the S were too long for someone my height.

This dress was a beautiful chocolate brown color with a very figure-flattering style. Herve dresses in general are extremely tight fitting, but the length (mid thigh to knee) keeps it conservative. I wore it to a wedding and received tons of compliments. The XS fit perfectly and I am very petite. Dress arrived in perfect condition at 11am the morning of the first rental day and returning was extremely easy. Definitely recommend RTR and this dress in particular!

I looooved this dress! I was hesitant to rent it for fear of the material being either 1) too tight and uncomfortable 2) too thin and unflattering. Fortunately, it was neither! The dress fit like a glove. I’m a size 6 in skirts/dresses and an 8 in jeans, the Medium fit great, but I wouldn’t mind if it was just a little tighter. The dress went a little above my knee which added a flare of sophistication on a really sexy dress. I was concerned that a strapless bra would be visible on the straight cut top, but the dress was tight enough on the chest that it did not require one (I’m a 32D). I paired the brown LBD version of this dress with a chunky turquoise necklace and matching small earrings. I put my hair half up to showcase the necklace and earring. Looked awesome! I’d recommend this dress any day.

This is a gorgeous dress! The color is very rich but it is much more conservative then the other herve dresses! I got the xs and it fit perfectly size 0-2, which that it was a bit lower in the front to show off the girls a bit. I ended up not wearing it and choosing the Helmut Lang Bondage dress over it. I think I want to wait for one of his sexier dresses to rent next time. It definitely has a spanx suit type appeal and the sucker has a zipper that can hold some leverage!

I wore this dress to my husband's film premier, I felt amazing all night and I had so many compliments about it. The pictures don't really do justice to the color, which is so rich and decadent in real life. Herve Leger dresses do amazing things for the female shape and i'll definitely be renting or even buying one of his dresses again.
