I have been wanting to rent this for 3 yrs, but it was gone by the time I rented.  This time, the second size was not available, so I ended up wearing a second option.  It is tight and a bit awkwardly long and I am 5'7".  Fell to just under midcalf.  Could not take a full stride as it was tight around the bottom of the skirt.  I still wanted to wear it because, hey, so a picture of walking my dog then a trip to Walmart.  Classy.  Nice dress, but too long

This dress is everything! Form fitting with a stunning zippered back. I received so many compliments about the dress throughout the night. Couldn't wear a bra bc the back was too low cut for strapless, but the dress held things in place well. 

Love the fit of this, tight in all the right places and the two way zipper in the back helps so that it's not too restricting around the legs for walking. 

Beautiful dress, got so many compliments!  I felt like a movie star 

Particularly if you have curves (but even if you don't) this dress is unbelievable. It's flattering in every possible way, sexy yet still nicely conservative with the high neckline and longer length.  I was on the fence between the S and XS but went with the smaller size and I am glad I did, I felt like it really sucked me in. Don't think twice - rent this dress!

Definitely a tighter dress, tough to move in. For a shorter person I wouldn't recommend. The zipper also had some issues during the night. If you have an event that you don't need to move much at and want to look great, this could be an option.

As expected, the dress fit snugly but it was very comfortable and flattering. I received so many compliments. I'm tall so I kept the dress zipped all the way. Loved wearing this dress. 

Beautiful dress!! I am short so it ran a bit long on me but was still very sexy and form fitting. I recommend using fashion tape for the shoulder straps but with that they stay in place. The dress material is heavier than you'd expect but the wedding was outside and a little chilly so the extra insulation was welcome. All in all I HIGHLY recommend this gorgeous dress.

The dress is very form fitting. I would recommend to unzip the bottom of the dress a bit to give your legs some breathing room. It's hard to walk in if you don't do that. It's a beautiful dress. I'd wear it again in a heartbeat. 

Amazing dress. Snug but had some stretch. Wear a sticky bra because back is low. I used hem tap to shorten but when the tape failed I was fine with length. I wish I owned it!

I wore Spanx too, but this fabric really sucks it all in. Gave me a bit of a waist even though my body is fairly straight and narrow. Modest but sexy at the same time. Tons of compliments! 

This dress is tight like all Herve Leger but it really accentuates a small waist and shows off curves nicely. 

Dress was just beautiful.  I know everyone says this, but I did get so many compliments all night long. 
 Even though it was very tight it felt modest b/c of the length and the coverage.  I had to show the back also because the zipper up the back is a gorgeous detail.  The dress was also in really great shape / condition.  Was very expensive but worth it.  

This dress was one of the most amazing dresses I have ever worn. I hesitated because of the cost and I needed it for a whole week. After pouring through the reviews, my husband insisted. I am so glad I did! At first, it was hard to zip up due to my pear shape but after some help ... wow! I was concerned about the length and after reading a review from someone my height who recommended taping the bottom ribbons, I decided not to. It was impossible to walk without heels since I have hips, butt and thighs but once I put the heels on it was a little easier. I certainly walked slower than normal but it looked and felt amazing so it was worth it. I am 5'1", 128 lbs, pear shaped, 34 B bust. Others suggested to unzip at the bottom but since I am so short, it didn't look right. I had no problem keeping the top up although I did add fabric tape just in case as recommended by others. If you are on the fence, rent it! You will be glad you did! 

Beyond words of beauty! Love the designer! High end!!!!

This dress was SO comfortable!  It hugs all the way down, but never squeezes.  Both the S and XS fit, but I chose to wear the XS since I'd be in it for 12+ hours and was worried about it stretching throughout the day.  I'm straight and without a lot of actual curves, but the colors and heavy fabric gave the illusion of a fabulous shape!  I didn't wear a bra (just nipple covers) because of the low back, but the smaller size and stretchy but substantial fabric provided plenty of support (for my 34Bs at least).  The zipper in the hem allows you to adjust the slit for comfortable movement.  One of my favorite choices...would definitely rent again!  The Ella Carter Dan earrings and Priya Kakkar Crystal Snake Eye Bangles were perfect accessories.

Love this dress! Hugged all of the right places but could still dance all night. Sophisticated and sexy. Would definitely rent again. 

I absolutely love this dress! Would purchase it if I could – got compliments all night… Especially from my husband. Fits snug – Bit of a challenge to walk in – but completely worth it!

I received SO many compliments with this dress. Runs small but fits like a glove! Comfortable and sexy. Overall a beautiful dress!

This dress is conservative yet still has an edge to it.  The fade looks amazing.  No undergarments needed.  It has 2 zippers one on each end....so it goes both ways so it is easy when you go to the ladies room.  Complements all night long.  Rent it! It is worth it :)

Fit is tight but to be expected.  Can be difficult to walk in 

This dress is so beautiful! I was really worried that the xs wouldn't fit but with assistance I got it zipped and loved the mermaid shape. Since the zipper goes up from the bottom you can have a slit and walk easily in it. I loved the off the shoulders and low back as well as the below the knee length. I'm a BIG Herve fan, they are great dresses and so much fun to wear! 

This dress is snug in all the right places. I ordered a small (the only size available) and was concerned it would be too tight. It was definitely form fitting but looked classy and was flattering. Received compliments all night long from friends and strangers alike. I felt secure not wearing a bra while wearing it. Would order this dress again :)  

I wore this dress for my rehearsal dinner. It is definitely tight and shows all your curves. It is not conservative or something my mom would have picked out, but I felt like a beautiful bride to be. I would say it runs true to size/large. I found from the Herve's that I rent the size down sucks everything in more and shows like unwanted lumps and bumps. Using the bathroom as somewhat difficult because of the length of the dress and the tightness. Not enough not to rent. It does have the zipped the whole way down the back. I only had one instance when it unzipped a little on me, but I was walking a ton at that point. I loved this dress!

This dress was so fun! I had strangers come up to me and tell me the best dress there!  Would definitely recommend. I initially thought the long length might be matronly but not the case at all ! 

The fit was perfect, I read thru the reviews that said to "size up" but I felt like I could've gone down a size and it would've worked. You can wear a regular bra if the straps are off shoulder and you wear a strap extender. 

The hues of blue were so beautiful in person, and photographed very well. 

Got many compliments throughout the night. My husband was in love it! I was able to move around in the dress very well, as it was comfortable and flexible. 

Overall, this dress was everything I wanted it to be. I would've loved to keep it for myself and put it in my own closet! :) Great RTR experience, per usual. 

Rented this for my cousin's wedding at the Loeb Boathouse in Central Park. The fit was great! I was a little worried that I might feel self conscious with how tight the look is supposed to be. But the dress fit like a glove and it was very comfortable! The gradient color looked very elegant and it stood out from all the other dresses without being in your face! Highly recommend this especially if you are petite!

I immediately knew this was The Dress while shopping on the website.  I was concerned about the fit, though, since it is so slim.  There were not any mediums available so I just crossed my fingers that small would work.  And it fit like a glove!  Like others I pinned the bottom since the zipper slipped right up with a long stride and fashion tape may be needed on the cap sleeves.  Otherwise, this dress is perfection in my book!

I wore this to my rehearsal dinner and it was exactly what I was looking for. The wedding colors were navy and white, so I was looking for something in this color scheme and I immediately rented this dress when I saw it. I loved the way it fit and it was comfortable all night. I wore it from 3pm-11pm with no issues. I was easily able to sit and stand. Going up stairs took a little longer since it is tight in the knees. Everyone talked about the dress all night and I highly recommend it for your future occasions. 

It isn't the first time I've worn Herve Leger so I expected the fit to be perfect. But the color made the dress extra flattering. 

Fit true to size. Supposed to be tight- not very maneuverable but to be expected. Constant compliments and absolute hip hugger. 

The XS fit was snug, but comfortable - I think the next larger size, a S, would have been too big.  The dress was in beautiful condition.  No wrinkling, no gapping, just felt great all night.  I didn't wear a bra (but could have worn a Nu-bra) and wore control top underwear so looked and felt smooth all night, not uncomfortable at all.  I was VERY sad to mail this dress back!

This is a real bandage dress and the quality is excellent for holding you in.  I felt like a hot momma in it and will likely rent it again.  Don't expect a large range of motion in it while walking as it's very tight and a longer length.  However, you should be treated like a princess in it anyway. :-)

Loved this dress! Was tight but very comfortable. Only con was making sure to have someone help you when you unzip for the bathroom! I couldn't zip it on my own, so have a friend close by! Worth it!!!!

RTR was so convenient and delivered to a hotel for me.  The dress was in perfect condition and was so special and beautiful.  I love the statement zipper on the back.  I did nude sandals and gold earrings and clutch.  It was my first RTR and I'll do it again for sure!  

This dress sold me on RTR!  Was voted best dress at the wedding I wore it to, never had so many compliments on a dress.  Fit like a glove!! Love Love this dress. 

The fit is amazing! The fabric is tick enough to conceal the imperfections and highlight your curves.
It is sexy and at the same time elegant and modern. 

Body hugging fit. Cut and shading are very very flattering on curves. Since I'm short was a little more like midi length which was perfect for our event (promotion breakfast for my husband). Would highly recommend.
