Herve Leger is the ultimate bachelorette-party-in-Vegas designer, and RTR gave me the opportunity to make it a reality.

Overall fit: True to Size

I ordered a small and a medium (I'm usually a small) and the small fit perfectly. Didn't even need a bra. Wore it in Vegas for a bachelorette party and it was perfect for the occasion. Loved this dress...loved wearing it and would buy it in a heartbeat if I had an extra grand lying around.

Like most Herve's, this dress fits perfect in all the right places. The length and cut was perfect. I accessorized with a gold Kate Spade clutch (hand picked from RTR!) and Margaret Elizabeth earrings. I wish I had this LBD in my closet at all times!

This dress fits like a glove and hides all problem areas! The only cons I had were the shoulder area was a little loose. And I kept having to readjust the chest area to avoid any nip slips. But overall, I loved this dress! The husband kept raving about how beautiful I looked

I had just had a baby 3 months before so I had no idea what my size would be! For a gal who just had a baby and didn't feel so hot about my body, this dress made me feel great! I ran true to size, and was so flattering hugging me in the right places and felt like spanx all over! THANKS RTR for a great experience! I will definitely be back!

The Perfect LBD!
Size worn: XS
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Party
This was my first experience with RTR and everything worked out perfectly. The dress was not available to arrive until the day of the party, so I brought a backup dress with me just in case. The dress arrived at our hotel very early in the morning, and fit like a glove! I would recommend a Herve Leger dress for any body type because of the strechy material, and also because it was pretty versitale. I wore this dress to my girlfriend's 30th birthday party to a club in DC, and she also rented a dress. We felt super glamorous and got a lot of compliments! I can't wait for my next event so I can RTR again!!

I felt confident and sexy in my little black dress!
Size worn: XS
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Party
I have a pretty straight/little boy body type with NO HIPS, but this dress somehow managed to create the illusion that I had hips! The dress is pretty tight and fitted but since it's not too short you can get away with wearing it and not feeling too promiscuous. My only complaint with the dress is if you have a larger chest you might not be able to wear a bra without giving away the farm.

Overall fit: True to Size

I absolutely LOVED this dress. I could not tell from the model or from the random other pictures if it would look good on me... but it was beautiful, sexy, and one of my favorite dresses I have ever worn. I am 5' 6" and 120ish pounds and I ordered a Small. I probably could have gone with the extra small but I happy I did not because this dress was tight yet comfy and let me breathe. It is extremely flattering and can be paired with a statement necklace. I am going to definitely rent this dress again! :)

I wore this fabulous Herve Leger dress to an afterparty and it was a huge hit! It feels like Instant spanx! I felt sexy and pulled together. People even stopped and said WOW when I entered! I now have to own one for myself. One tiny complaint if you are small chested like myself you may want to size down a bit. I have a small chest but a big rear end and the dress was a little loose on top. But, fit perfectly on the bottom!

This is probably the most flattering dress I have ever worn in my life. The way it accentuates your figure and hugs your curves is truly amazing. I received so many compliments that night and felt like the prettiest girl in the world! My boyfriend could not stop saying how great it looked- I think he wishes I wore it every party! If you want to have all eyes on you, definitely rent this dress.

This dress totally took this night from being great to totally over the top wonderful, it made me feel absolutely amazing! I was even told I looked like a model, which is of course a great compliment!
Size worn: XS
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Party
I wore this dress on my 21st birthday, which was also my boyfriend's fraternity formal. This dress was absolutely stunning. It was sexy without being too over the top. My only problem was that the shoulders were just a little too big, and one of the shoulders started to slip off after a few hours, but I am pretty petite (only 5 feet tall). I was worried how busty I would look in this dress because I am a 32DD, but this dress hugged my curves in all the right places without being super over the top. Overall, I loved this dress, and I hope I have a reason to wear it again soon!

Tight, but not too tight, and hugged my curves perfectly. The sleeves fell down every once in a while either because the dress was stretched out or because I'm not busy enough to hold it up. I wore it with a Kate Spade neckless from RTR to make it more than a black dress. I was definitely satisfied and loved wearing a Hervé.

I was pleasantly surprised that this tiny little dress was so comfortable and flattering! I have an athletic, square shape, small chest, 5'8 with longer thin and strong legs and I've usually favored empire waist or bodice type dresses to define my frame and mid-section. This dress was short (but I love that) - not too short. I really liked the V neckline and V cut in the back. I would highly recommend - many compliments all evening!

I absolutely loved this dress and would definitely rent it again. The fabric stretches easily and the dress loosened up gradually while I was wearing it (especially the hem area due to walking around, and around the armpits), so I would recommend going down a size if you can fit into it.

One of my friends told me, “You have NEVER looked better than you do tonight!”
Size worn: L
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Party
I have NEVER felt sexier than when I was 6 months pregnant and wearing this dress. In fact, one of my friends told me, “You have NEVER looked better than you do tonight!” I took that as a compliment though I realized I must really need to step up my use of Rent the Runway once I’m not pregnant anymore as well!! The bandages on this dress allow my tummy to come through comfortably, but pull in the rest of my body so from the front and from the back you can’t even tell I had a 6-month pregnant stomach!! I wore this to my own birthday dinner and it was sleek, sophisticated look. This has to be one of the sexiest LBD dresses out there and the fact that it is an option during pregnancy is so liberating!! Fit: I wore one size up at 6 months pregnant so that the dress was at an appropriate length while stretching around my tummy. With the larger size the top was slightly loose but worked for me so might work best for someone will a larger bust. One month before and I could have worn this dress true to size.

I ordered the XS and S in this dress and they both fit well. The XS was super sexy but might have been a little too tight for the formal wedding I attened. I ended up wearing the small and still feeling as sexy as ever! The armpit area was a little stretched out but no one seemed to notice but me. I absolutely loved wearing this and I received plenty of compliments. My boyfriend loved it too!

The XS dress fit beautifully but the sleeves were a little bit on my shoulders so I had to hold them up with fashion tape or they sagged down. But, besides the shoulders the dress fit amazing and gave me a great shape. Would definitely rent it again

Very pleased with my first rental!!
Size worn: XS
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Party
I was a little skeptical to order from RTR because I strongly believing in trying on clothes before I purchase them. I have an athletic built on top but I’m little curvy on the bottom so dresses don’t always look that great on me. Dresses that look best on my shape are more of the body hugging type, especially around the mid section and bust because I don’t have any curves. After careful review of all the comments and scoping out the previous customers in their dresses that had a very similar physique as mine, I was definitely confident in my rental. I ordered last minute so the backup dress wasn’t available and it was arriving the day before my event. However, it arrived and fit beautifully. I must admit, when I pulled it out of the package, I thought to myself, “what is all the rage of this dress and why is it so expensive” Now I know why!! Once I put it on, I didn’t want to take it off. I danced all night in the dress and wore it with bright red heels for a Christmas party. It was a young professional holiday party so I would not rent this for a company/family party since its body hugging and low in the front. I got so many compliments on it; the dress was really hard to return it! Thank you RTR, I’ll def be back!
