Runs small
Simple, beautiful cut, lovely fabric and color. Would be easy to dress up or down, so great for a variety of occasions. However, the 2 was uncomfortably tight (you could see my belly button!) so I didn't wear it. I would go up one size for parties, weddings etc. and maybe even two sizes for more professional or conservative events.

Statement earrings
Great to dress up an outfit and make it look super modern. They were a little heavy so probably not comfortable to wear for more than a few hours.

Great jumpsuit for petite girls
I'm only 5'2" so most jumpsuits are usually too long. This one worked great with short heels and was flattering on a smaller frame. Usually a 2 in DVF, Shoshanna, Theory but the 0 fit well.

Runs large with huge arm holes. Cute and good quality but I could not wear.

Cute and casual
This fits true to size, slightly cropped. The fabric is thick so holds its shape and does not wrinkle. Comfy and cute - will rent again.

Cute but skimpy
This top is low cut and has an open back, so very difficult to wear a bra. I ended up using fashion tape. Cute but definitely on the showy side so keep that in mind!

Better for taller girls
This was longer and tighter than I expected. It was not flattering on my 5'2" frame so I sent it back. Would recommend for those 5'7" and taller who don't mind a snug fit.

Bright and beautiful
I absolutely loved this dress. I rented it for a beach wedding and received a ton of compliments. I was a little bit worried the chiffon would feel too formal but it looked great and the yellow was a true, bright canary yellow. I am 5'2, 110 lbs 34A and the 0 would have fit but the 2 was more comfortable. The only con was that the plastic in the bodice poked at me a little bit.

Flattering and conservative
This dress is on the snug side - runs true to size, but definitely size up if you're uncomfortable with something extremely form fitting. Even though it was snug, the fabric was thick enough that it didn't cling to the wrong spots so I felt comfortable, even at a more conservative event. I also found the inside to be a little bit itchy but not unbearable.

I really liked this dress - it was fun and different without being too outrageous. Runs true to size. As other reviewers have mentioned, the lace and tulle looked a little bit worn on one of the dresses, but still wearable. Great for petite gals - would worry about length on taller women.

Preppy Chic
This dress was absolutely perfect for a lawn party. It fit true to size and was very comfortable. I could have worn either the 0 or the 2 but ended up going with the 0 as it was just a bit more form fitting. I wasn't 100% sure about the print from the pictures, but it looked even better in person and I was pleasantly surprised. Received many compliments and would definitely recommend. I wore it with the Lele Sadoughi "Heartbreaker" necklace.

Beautiful but uncomfortable
I know this is a choker, but it was not adjustable and was quite tight around my neck - plus it's very heavy. I really wanted to love it but can't wear it.

Fun and easy to wear!
This dress was perfect for a June rehearsal dinner. It was flattering on my petite frame and the print was summery and fun. The material is on the thick side but it does not wrinkle and I was perfectly comfortable on a summer evening. It is a bit short which was fine for me but might be an issue for taller women.

Perfect for a Bachelorette
This dress was super cute but it runs SMALL. I am usually a 0/2 XS and I ended up going with the Medium for a little (very little) bit of breathing room. The fabric is fairly thick and the pattern on the dress is super fun and I received lots of compliments. Note that this dress is quite short - it was perfect for a bachelorette party but I might have been a bit uncomfortable at a more conservative event.

Perfect for a bachelorette!
This dress was perfect for a bachelorette party in Miami! Warning - it is short! The fabric is high quality and the dress arrived in perfect condition. There was a tiny bit of gaping on the front of the dress around my waist, but it was hardly noticeable and overall I thought it was pretty flattering.

Sleeves are huge!
This dress was really nice looking before I put it on. The fabric is really thick and the dress looks well-made and high end. Unfortunately, the sleeves were HUGE and looked funny with the rest of the form-fitting dress, so I couldn't wear it. Might be good if your arms are bigger or you have especially broad shoulders - otherwise, I'd avoid.

Great color, casual material
I am 5'2" and the OR just hit the floor with 5" heels. I liked the color of this dress and it was very comfortable and flattering, but the jersey fabric looked a bit too casual for the black tie wedding I was attending, so I ended up wearing another dress. This dress would be good for someone looking to hide a small tummy.

Not great for petites
This was not my favorite Herve - I felt like there was too much fabric around the shoulders and it was too long. High quality and beautiful dress but unfortunately not very flattering on my smaller frame.

Made me feel great!
I ordered a 0 and a 2 - could have worn either but I opted for the 0 because it fit my chest a little better. The color was beautiful (almost a perfect match for my nail polish, Essie Fifth Avenue) and the neckline was super flattering. I paired this with nude peep toes and I loved the look and received many compliments. I would just caution that it was just a tiny bit short when I sat down!

Sophisticated with an edge
I wore this to a wedding. The dress is definitely snug, but not quite as tight as some other Herve Legers I have worn. The square neckline was very flattering despite a small chest, and the color was formal looking yet a nice change of pace from basic black. The length was perfect (I'm 5'2" and wore with 5 inch heels) - not too short or too long.

Polished and fun for a work event
I rented this for a conference in Miami. It was the perfect mix of professional and fun. The fabric is fairly thick but still comfortable. It was a little longer on me than on the model (to be excpected since I'm 5'2") but this worked out nicely since I needed something on the more conservative side. I received a few compliments from co-workers as well!

Simle, elegant, and conservative
I thought this would be a bit shorter and the neck was just a bit higher than I expected, so it was actually a little on the conservative side for the party I wore it to. However, it fit nicely with high quality, thick fabric, and looked really nice in a simple, elegant way. Would not recommend for summer since it's a bit heavy, but looks great with tights for colder weather.

Fun twist on a conservative LBD
This dress looks even better in person and I received many compliments on it. It manages to be conservative, yet sexy - which is difficult to pull off. It fell a few inches above my knee on my 5'2" frame. Both dresses were in great shape - no pulls or snags on the lace. However, definitely size up! I usually wear a 0 and the 2 was tight - I might have gone with the 4 if I could. Note that it was also especially a tad snug around the armpits and the neck.

Love this dress. Handy adjustable straps, gorgeous color. The bottom is a little bit snug but was still certainly appropriate for a family wedding. I'm 5'2, 105 lbs, and the 0 fit like a glove. Love love love.

As other reviewers have mentioned, this dress is extremely short. The lace side panels are also more noticeable than they appear in the photo. I was bummed because the dress was not that flattering on me (too tight at the armpits/bust, but too loose at the waist) and also showed some noticeable signs of wear - a drooping hem, snags and pilling on the lace part. It worked OK for the bachelorette party I attended, but I didn't feel great in this one. Would not recommend.

Classy and cute
I wore this to my boyfriend's grandmother's 80th birthday brunch. I received lots of compliments, and people said it was a very "Jackie O" dress - classy and appropriate, yet stylish. It was a bit longer on my 5'2" frame than in the picture, but still well above my knee. The embellishment was beginning to look a bit shaggy/coming loose in places, but other than that the dress was in good shape.

Great dress, very flattering, fits true to size. I am 5'2" 34B, 105 lbs, and I wore a 0 (but the 2 would have been OK as well). The only thing is that the dress actually appears much darker (hard to see the blue in pictures) and the fabric is pretty thick, so keep that in mind. Would recommend.

Something cute and different
This dress fit well - was a little shorter than expected, but still looked classy. Very lightweight so probably best for summer unless paired with a blazer for a more casual look. A tiny bit large in the bust (34A) but was OK with slightly padded strapless bra. The lines on the dress are black and navy - I paired with black pumps. Photographs well and received lots of compliments!

Nice from the waist up
I'd describe this dress as "cute and fun", but probably not "sexy". The beading at the neckline is pretty, and then racerback adds an interesting element. The hem was a little "bunchy" and almost looked like a bubble skirt, which wasn't too flattering on me.

Fun and flirty!
This dress was really cute and fit well. I am 5'2", and it was short on me, so if you're taller I'd definitely recommend pairing with tights. Only one star off because the holes near my elbows looked slighly awkward (only noticeable to me, though).

Very pretty and high-end looking. Fabric does not feel like wool and appears slightly less shiny than the picture. I wore it to a black tie optional wedding. The XS was a little bit too tight, and the S was just the tiniest bit loose, especially in the bust and straps. I wore the S with a padded strapless bra and and put some double sided tape on the inside of straps to keep them up. Would recommend.
