Flattering, but super long!
This dress held it all in! It was very flattering, but about 8 inches too long for my 5'2" body. I only needed this to emcee a virtual event, so it didn't matter that it was impossibly long since no one saw the bottom. It has a lot of stretch but the material is nice and thick and it shaped to a very feminine and flattering figure. Perfect for on screen. Would be beautiful on a taller woman!!

I ordered this dress for photos with the hubby.
This dress was amazing! It fit fabulously and was very flattering! I'm a tall woman so I ordered the long and even this dress was too long for me. I wore 3-4" heels but could have probably worn taller ones and still had enough length. Our photographer was in love with this dress and definitely brought it out in our photos. This is a beautiful gown and you'll more than likely be a head turner/show stopper in it, so be prepared to catch some stares and compliments.

Perfect fit and extremely comfortable
I would typically wear dresses in a small, but with the stretchy material the xs fit well across all areas! Im 5'7/5'8, wore heels and had to hold the dress when I was dancing to not step on it. Not sure how the regular length would have fit - but other than during dancing, the long version worked great.

Fits like a glove. Is true to size but super long. I used hem tape to take a few inches off.

Dress was so comfortable and had complements all night long. The SL requires a 4" heel for me but was happy with the look.

I wore this dress to a celebrity meet & greet!
This dress fits like a glove, and there is no hiding any extra curves. You will need someone to help you zip it up. It is also quite heavy. I'm 5'7" and the MR was long on me, even with 3" heels on. It looks great with peacock feather accessories and the color is gorgeous. I absolutely loved wearing this dress and felt amazing in it! It is a great option for someone looking for a more modest formal.

Stylist Review
This beautiful Herve Leger gown truly makes a statement! Running true to size, I would recommend sizing up for backup, as it is very fitted. I would recommend a strapless bra and Spanx for this hip hugging style, although the fabric definitely does have some stretch. At 5' 7," I had on a regular with three inch heels and it just hit the floor. The bold teal color of this dress will capture the attention of everyone in the room. I would recommend this for any black tie formal event or prom.

LOVE this dress. It made the night wonderful and received so many compliments!
I'm absolutely obsessed with this gown. I'm 5'11 and wore 3 inch heels and FINALLY found a dress that was long enough for me. I'm small chested, but have a pretty muscular build and it hugged me in the best places possible. I usually can't do capped sleeves with my broad shoulders but this dress made me feel so comfortable I didn't even care. The fabric is heavy so it didn't cling but instead fell very nicely. The medium fit fine too, but I like the small fit more. Just my favorite dress I've ever rented!!

Holy smokes!!! This dress is amazing!!! I've never gotten more compliments on a dress in my life!! The cut is perfect and very flattering. I wore this for an awards ceremony and could not have been more pleased. I'm 5'10 without heels and normally a size 6-8, the medium size fit me perfectly. If you're looking to turn some heads, I highly recommend this one. :)

Flattering fit and great color!
This was a replacement dress for an original order that didn't fit, and it worked out perfectly! I wore it for a black tie wedding, and it was so flattering. The material was favorable to my curves, but was a bit heavy for an outdoor August wedding. Overall, I felt great in it and received a lot of compliments!

Was unable to wear this dress.
The dress is stunning however was far far too long even with 4 inch heals. It was a tripping hazard and therefore unfortunately I could not wear it. I am 5'6" and ordered the XS, with my 4 in heels I still had 2-3 in of dress dragging in both the front and back. If you're super tall and slender this dress would be amazing on you. If you're not super tall I discourage you from ordering this dress unless you are comfortable in very tall platform shoes to make up for the extraordinary length--good for you if you are, you'll look stunning!!

This dress was a hit!
I would definitely order a size down because the stretchiness of these gowns is meant to be worn tight. Its a beautiful dress and you will turn heads in it!

Elegant and chic look for a black tie event in the city.
The fit was as expected and the fabric is heavy (which is a plus) but I needed Spanx to smooth things out. I did not need a bra. Though the short sleeve and high back design is demure, the color and cut are flattering and elegant and I felt great in this dress.

Gorgeous but didn't wear WAY TOO LONG!
I didn't wear this, it was a back up I ended up not being able to wear. It's gorgeous and is a very thick material. I wouldn't rent for a summer wedding. However I got the SL and ML. This is way too long. I am 5 7 and wore 4 inch heels and it was still too long by about 3-4 inches. You need to be super tall to get the long!

It was a really nice thick material and would be great for a fall or winter event.
Need an undergarment for the belly area as you can see your belly button through the fabric.

This dress was a little too sexy for the event that I attended, not fit for my body type.
I'm 5'1 and roughly (an athletic/muscular) 128 lbs and wear a 34C bra. While the SR fit PERFECTLY, it showed off every curve, lump, bump and dimple. I have a very round, pronounced behind, an extremely small waist, and perky booBs and it hugged those areas of my body a little too tightly, especially for the event that I was attending. I felt fabulous in the dress, and looked sexy, but was a little too sexy. I would have had everyone at the event talking about me for all of the wrong reasons. I was attending a major University's awards gala, and this just would not have been the right dress, and not the look I was going for at such an event.
