Fun unique dress!
This was a last minute back up, but I’m very pleased with it! I would’ve preferred an 8, but the 6 was wearable at 6 months pregnant. ( I normally try to rent a 4 & 6).

Formal and flattering
Very comfortable dress. Good length for me - I'm 5'4", I wore flats, and you could just see the tips of my shoes. The fit was pretty good - either it runs large or this stock piece has been stretched out - the 4p was a little loose in the waist and midsection. No issues at all with the sleeve being too tight. The sleeveless side stayed up without a problem

Beautiful fabric
This was a beautiful dress, with pockets! Nice heavy fabric - may not be good for warmer months. Unfortunately the size I ordered ended up being unavailable (4p) and I could only get the 6. The 6 fit okay - a little big - but way too long for me! I'm 5'4". I would have loved to have worn this in the size I wanted!

Great dress great deal!
The dress is tight and heavy, but still rather comfortable. I was worried because I couldn't order a medium, but I don't think I would have liked the longer length of a larger size, anyway. I found a small hole in the front of the dress, but it was very difficult to see it when the dress was on. Wore it with spanx and a strapless bra. It required occasional pulling down and twisting around to keep the bands and zipper straight. I received plenty of compliments and was sad to have to return this dress! I will not hesitate to rent a Herve again!

beautiful dress!
I wore this for an alumni event. The 4 wasn't much smaller than the 6, but the slip/liner on the 6 tended to show below the dress. The dress was comfortable, with just enough stretch to sit down in. I didn't have a problem with the sequins being itchy anywhere. I got a lot of compliments on this dress, and I would definitely recommend it!

Great wedding rehearsal dress!
As many others have said: the straps are super long! I ordered a 4 & 6: the straps were fine on the 4, but the bodice was too tight. I wore the 6, and pinned the straps up (it wasn't noticeable). The fabric is very thick and beautiful. Overall, I would definitely recommend this dress; just have safety pins handy!

great basic dress
I ordered a 6 & 8. I ended up wearing the 6 because the straps on the 8 were way too long, and they were only a little loose on the 6. The bodice part of the 8 was more comfortable; the 6 was snug up top but wear-able. The length on both sizes was fine. The fabric is heavy; I wouldn't want to wear this in the middle of summer. The pockets were a great touch. I'm not giving this dress 5 stars because of the strap length, but overall, I really enjoyed wearing this dress!

didn't work for me
I rented this to wear with the Shoshanna Teal Pearl of Wisdom dress. In my opinion (and my friend's), it was just a little too big, and kind of costume-y. I chose not to wear it with the dress, but I'm sure it would look fine on someone else!

got many compliments!
my first RtR experience! I wore this for my bridal shower, and got numerous compliments. the color is darker than the picture, but still lovely. and it has pockets! I ordered a 6 & 8, and wore the 6 because the straps & bodice part fit just a little bit better. I wore a strapless bra, but it does have snaps to hold bra straps in place. the overall length was just right. the next night, I even wore it a musical, but with boots to dress it down a little. overall, a wonderful dress! highly recommended.
