Addicted to RTR & Herve Leger! All Herve Leger dresses are amazing! RTR is the best!

Size worn: XS

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

Can't explain how much i love this Herve Leger dress. It's not too revealing, very sophisticated. Dress is a bit worn out (too much rentals i guess) but it still looked ahh-mazing! RTR's service is always excellent! They called me that my dress was not available 2 days before my rental but they were able to send me another replacement the next day! It worked out perfectly because i like this more than my original rental! Amazing customer service, keep it up RTR!

This dress was very comfortable. I danced all night long with ease. This was my first time renting with RTR and loved the ease of ordering and returning. I will be back for more gorgeous rentals:)

Great for a last minute dress

Size worn: S

Overall fit: Large

Rented for: Formal Affair

I rented this dress on a Wednesday and got it that Friday. It was not my first choice dress but it was perfect for the event and RTR got it to me so fast. The dress looked slightly worn and stretched out in certain places which made it fit funny.

LOVED IT for summer wedding

Size worn: XS

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

Fit is amazing - so comfortable especially when dancing all night! The fabric warms up to your body and allows you to feel great and look great. I received a ton of compliments on this. It was a tiny bit too short for my liking though, especially when walking (rides up a couple inches), but the neckline is a compromise as it provides a bit more coverage than a typical cocktail dress. Stunning color too!

great color!

I wore this at our Rent the Runway Employee Party - it was the first Herve I've ever tried on and wow - i get what all the hype's about! I wore the XS but could have easily gone a size up, it was super tight and flattering but really good at hiding any "flaws". Definitely a thumbs up for a bachelorette, night out on the town, date (lucky guy!), etc

I felt great in this fun color and flattering dress!

Size worn: M

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

I tried this dress on at a Rent the Runway employee party and felt like wearing it out that night! The tight fabric was very flattering and I felt as if the dress would stay put and looking great through out an entire party. It can be worn with an normal bra or without if you are comfortable which is very convenient. It was a bit longer then I was expecting and I would have sized down for back up.

Customer Service was outstanding!

Size worn: S

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

The dress did not make it on time because of weather delay. I called RTR immediately and their customer service is nothing short of excellent. They gave me a credit for my next rental which I gladly used to try an HL dress again. The dress fit great and I tried it on with and without the Spanx and actually ended up going without since the spanx made it look too thick. The dress itself tucks everything in nice and tight. Love the dress for sure!

Really showed off the curves!

Size worn: L

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Party

It definitely sucks you in and accentuates the curves. The color is electric - so pretty and eye catching without being obnoxious. My boobs however, were a little obnoxious because this dress is tight and "binds" you up. They have no choice but to swim fast to the surface for air ! haha Overall loved it though. Wore it in Vegas and it was a head turner.

I didnt wear it...

Size worn: S

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Date

The dress ran very small, I would recommend ordering a size up for your second size. I ended up not wearing the dress because the color looked off to me. It was very dull and just didn't look right so I ended up wearing something else.

Not very flattering on my hips

Size worn: S

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Other

The color was exactly as it looks on the website, very pretty. I didn't like the lines going down my hips or the way the sleeves cut into my armpits, it wasn't very flattering. It was a good length for my height, not too short not too long. I ended up wearing the other Herve Leger dress that I rented.

I liked this dress, since all HL dresses are amazing, but it was a little shorter than what I had hoped for. I ended up not wearing it since it wasn't appropriate for the party I was going to- but would have been a great clubbing dress!
