I never thought a dress could make me feel this confident :)
Size worn: M
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
The dress is incredibly well crafted. The material has just the right amount of elasticity to help you slide it on & it has just enough structure to hug your silhouette in all of the right places. The sleeves make it conservative and suitable for many occasions (from a formal wedding to a night out on the town with friends) depending on how your accessorize it. I loved this dress so much I can't wait to rent another Herve piece :)

Size worn: S

This dress is A-MAH-ZING!! It looks super hot and it is very, very, fitted so it holds everything in place and is extremely flattering. it does run a bit small, so be prepared to do some creative movements while trying to get it on! It is very comfortable and easy to move in but a little constricting if you're not used to very tightly fitted clothing. If you've got a hot date, bachelorette party, or girls night out to attend, pick this one!

Fits true to size for Herve. I loved the sleeve for a cool night out. Easy to accesorize and I love when I can wear a good bra under a dress. The length was mid thigh and the deep V front and back are a nice touch. Herve always makes you feel incredibly beautiful and heads turn all night long!!

The minute I walked into the party, I knew all my time at the gym and eating right finally paid off.
Size worn: M
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Party
I don't remember the last time I felt so great in a dress. It's so sexy without being risque. I really loved this dress so much I almost called RTR to tell them I had lost it so I could just keep it. The fit is amazing and true to size (I'm usually a 4 on top and a 6 on the bottom). It wasn't too short though I did occasionally pull it down after standing up. I tried it on with a pushup bra at first but it was way too much cleavage for me and I would've had to use tape to keep the bra and the straps from peeking out all the time. I actually ended up not wearing one at all because it held me in perfectly.

Sexy dress for Vegas!
Size worn: S
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Vacation
I got the M as well, which fit okay, but found that the dress acted more like Spanx in the S, so I went with that one. The only issue with the fit of the S was that it definitely was tight in the chest, but I have a 34E-sized chest, so I'd imagine that girls who aren't super busty would fit great in it. Super-bonus: it made me look like I actually had something of a behind, which I totally don't!

I could have worn either the small or the medium, but the medium was a little looser on my legs, which i liked. It made my chest look amazing and made the rest of my body look really small =) haha all Pros for this dress!

great post-partum dress
Size worn: M
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
I wore this dress 4 weeks post-partum. It subdued my still protruding baby belly pretty well and really accentuated my new found curves. The weight/bust are estimates for the size I was when I wore the dress. I did think it was a little narrow in the shoulders and found it hard to move my arms very much; it almost wanted to slide off my shoulders into an off-the-shoulder configuration. I don't know if that was the dress or just my body being weird so soon after the baby.

I have nothing bad to say about any Herve Leger dress, this one is no different. I rented this dress for NYE with my husband and it was just awesome. It was a chilly night out so I paired it with some thick tights and platform pumps and it was perfect! It fit me like a glove, hit my curves in all the right places! LOVE! Highly recommend!

This dress is the PERFECT combo of sexy and classy. The slightly risque neckline is subdued by the elbow length sleeves and 'just' above the knee hemline. This was my first time wearing an Herve Leger and I am officially a believer! Would (and maybe will) absolutely consider renting this dress again. Thanks RTR!

Everyone loved this dress! It shows off your figure beautifully! The small and medium are similar in size, but the medium gives you a little more room in the chest. I wore this to a company party and would rent it again in a heart beat. LOVE LOVE LOVE this dress. I rented Elizabeth Cole's Jet and Jade Navette Earrings to go with this dress.

It is a bandage dress, so I panicked a little when I took it out of the box. It looked so tiny, but stretched to perfection. It wasn't too tight though. It was form fitting and slimming.

It hugged the right way in all the right places. Definitely skintight, as you would expect from a bodycon dress) but more comfortable than I expected. I wear a 34DD and would say that maybe it's best suited for someone with a bit less in that area, but overall it is an amazing dress and I was sad to see it go...

I wore this for a post-wedding cocktail party in NYC. I liked how the shorter hemline and sculpted silhouette were offset by 3/4 sleeves. The neckline also doesn't plunge too deep and comes down to a very flattering V shape. I wish I owned this dress. It would get a lot of use.

The look on my boyfriend's face was awesome.... every time he looked at me, all night.
Size worn: XS
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
I loved this dress. It was sexy, yet still classy because I wasn't busting out of it - I don't have a large chest, so I just wore a regular push-up with it and it worked out great one I made a few small adjustments (see below). Overall thought, this is a sexy, curve-hugging, flattering dress. It got four stars because it kept sliding at first in the neckline and exposing my bra. This may just be the fact that I'm self conscious about my chest, but I ended up using Victorias' Secret double sided body tape, which is awesome - I use it a lot because it holds but doesn't ruin fabric or irritate my skin. I actually taped the dress to my bra, not to my skin, and it worked out perfectly. I'm trying to post pics but apparently mine are too large. Will keep working on it.

I wore this smokin' dress to my friend's formal wedding. I was a knock out!
Size worn: S
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
I borrowed this tasteful dress for my friend's wedding. Though it hugged my curves, it was very classy because of the length and sleeves. I just loved everything about this dress and was sad when I had to return it. :) I was invited to a wonderful formal wedding where everyone would be dressed in couture clothing. Rent the Runway allowed me to not only fit in with everyone else's attire but also, let me stand out! Everyone knew the designer and told me how fabulous I looked. I was complimented all night and my boyfriend couldn't keep his hands off me. I really enjoyed wearing this dress. It was slimming, comfortable and easy to accessorize. Frankly, I'd borrow it again because its that good. I borrowed the extra small and the small. I am pretty slender but, girl, I am definitely not an extra small. The small fit like a glove. The extra small couldn't zip up past the middle of my back. No regrets. I wore it with my black Louboutin heels and a cute Kate Spade Sparkle clutch I borrowed from RTR. Girl, if you're debating about it... just take the plunge! Grab this hot dress and enjoy your new found fame while wearing it.

I wore this dress to a cocktail party fundraiser that I was co-chairing. It fit like a glove - extremely flattering. Herve dresses are clingy in general, but the high quality fabric is really slimming and smoothes out any imperfections. I was hesitant to rent a Herve for the first time since I am not a stick, but I would absolutely rent this dress again - got a million compliments and felt great!

This dress is simple, yet smolderingly sexy. I ended up wearing a M which was a little too big (even though I have a fairly ample tush). Don't let it's simplicity dissuade you from renting this dress, as the thoughtfully placed seams help to accentuate curves, giving it a substantial 'kick'. Pair it with a statement necklace, and you'll be good to go. Love it. I actually wouldn't think a second thought about renting it again....

Perfect fit. No bra needed ladies. This dress holds everything in place and hugs the body just right. From the moment we walked in, the compliments started and the heads turned. As soon as I tried it on, I knew it was a winner. The small fit nicely as well, but I just felt a little more comfortable in the medium because it gave me a little more flexibility in the arms. I have broad shoulders. It was a long night and I felt comfortable in this dress the entire time. This dress will not disappoint. It was perfect for the occasion. I paired it with black stilettos, platinum & diamond accessories and a black clutch with a touch of sparkle in it. I kept it simple and classic. You don’t need much to enhance your overall look with this dress. The dress is a stunner on its own. Thank you again RTR...you never disappoint.

I wish I owned this dress. Though it is slim fitting and relatively short, the longer sleeves provide a nice balance and the overall look is classy (but still sexy!). Paired with different shoes and accessories, this dress easily moves from work event to formal affair. I usually wear a size 2 or XS, but in this case I was glad to have a back-up small, which fit me much better. I can't wait to rent it again!

My husband's reaction to me in the dress...great cold night, date night dress!
Size worn: XS
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Date
Overall, I liked the dress though I had hoped for something with some more pop of color, this dress seemed to be the best for the time of year and what we were doing based on availability. I jazzed it up with some colored leggings and jacket. I finished it off for a cold evening out with some black boots and black infinity scarf. The one thing I did not like about this dress is that the piece of material that sits on the top of your shoulder before it transitions to the arm seemed small. I was sort of worried about it falling off my shoulder. I think it ended up being fine with the back clasp and tension from the zipper but not sure how it would do for a night of dancing. I also rented the Emerald Nouveau Drops which were recommended for finishing off the dress but chose some other jewelry I already had instead to complete the look. The earrings were pretty but just didn't work with my final outfit and other jewelry picks. Pros: Thick material, helps give you a nice shape and kept me warmer on a colder evening Cons: Slightly longer than I would like being shorter in stature but not terrible and this wouldn't limit me from getting another Herve

RENTERS BEWARE!!! I've rented this dress twice. I usally wear a small in Herve, but with this one I needed the Med. Loved it the first time, fit was awesome. I recently rented it again and didn't bother trying it on beforehand since I knew it was a perfect fit. WRONG! For whatever reason, this one was soooooo much tighter across the bust and I was unable to wear it! Boobs were so smashed and very uncomfortable. Returned it unwarn but was not even given credit. :(
