Runs large
I was so bummed this was large on me. It is really cute, light and airy. A romantic skirt perfect for date night or vacation.

Flattering and comfortable
I received so many compliments on this dress. I wore it in London while exploring the galleries and palaces. It’s looked like it would be to warm for a summer day, but the material is thin but luxurious looking. Awesome details as well. I paired with a belt and wore with sneakers but switched to heels and big jewelry for dinner. A great multi use dress.

A classic in a cute color
A RL cardigan is always a must - this was the perfect piece to pack for a European vacation. Layered well, not too warm and a charming color that does well with all!

Wear with all!
I wore this several items while on a European vacation. Works feel with pants, over a dress even shorts. The colors in the jacket match just about everything. Cute details on the sleeves made me love this jacket even more. VB is the queen of blazers!

Not flattering
I wanted to love this for roaming around London but it wasn’t flattering on my body shape and length hit a spot of the leg that made me look frumpy instead of fab.

Perfect cozy sweater
Thick sweater, but not too hot to wear all day - inside and out. Loved the retro look.

Glitz and Glam - shined bright like a diamond.
I wore this dress for a formal night during a Christmas cruise. It has stunning shimmery threading that gives off just the right about of sparkle. The dress hugs your curves and gives off a sexy vibe, without being revealing. Perfect for a black tie or formal event where you may want to keep a little to the imagination. It was a little itchy but nothing that couldn't be tolerated. I felt so glamorous!

Short and sweet
This is a short dress. I am 5'5 1/2 and if I raised both my arms, my bum would be on display. I wore thick tights with it to help. Super flirty with the bottom ruffle. I wore this to a casual dinner and received a lot of compliments. I don't usually wear short dresses but felt better with the tights. Fun fall dress.

Easy, breezy, beautiful
I wore this dress three times. Once for a wedding, another was a launch party for a new company and the third was dinner with a friend. This can be dressed up or down depending on the shoes and jewelry. Great color blue and super comfortable. A great rental.

Cute style, not a great fit.
I really loved the style but it was very tight in the calf area. I have athletic calves and they were suffocating in this very skinny leg. Top was cute and loved the bows. It I went up a size it would be to big up top. Might not be the best for a pear shape or those with muscular legs.

Fun and flirty.
Great cut and amazing color. Was a little on the shorter side so great for drinks with the hubby or friends but probably would wear in a professional setting. Cool and comfortable in the Scottsdale heat.

Cool and comfy
I love when cool and comfortable can still be stylish. The perfect cut as it is a little shorter in the front and longer in the back. I wore this to for a day out in Scottsdale on a very warm day. Perfect for cocktails on the patio.

Classy and sassy
The fit was perfect. I don't often wear this style as I'm heavier on the bottom. This hit in all the right places. The color was beautiful and can be paired with any color accessories. Great with flats, wedges or heels. Work, girls night, date or running errands - dress it up or down.

Stylish comfort for any occassion.
Comfy means style in a pant that is acceptable for any occassion. I wore these to work but you could dress down with a tee and wear to fly or run errands. Or dress up ans wear to a formal dinner. I wore a 1/2 inch stack heel with no drag. Good fit in waist, hips and thighs. Pants are a last option for me, but this style is changing my style thoughts!

Style anf comfort - it does exist!
Pants are way outside my comfort zone. I am a dress and skirt kind of girl. I am going to Africa next month and rented these as a trial rental. I am in LOVE. Stylish. Comfortable. Colorful. Amazing. I was stopped in Whole Foods 5 times by raving fans. Comfortable in waist, seat and thighs (my problem area with pants). You can dress them up or down, although I do reccomend a show with a heel oe the pants will drag. I felt like a hippy goddess in these pants.

Dangerous curves ahead.
The color of this dress is as beautiful as the desert sunset. I rented this dress for a business dinner in Scottsdale AZ. It was my first Herve, and even after 36 years in this body, I didn't know I had these curves. The dress hugs in all the right places. At first, it felt tight - like I just yanked up my spanks after that one last cupcake I swore I wouldn't eat prior to the event. But my body settled in to the nooks and crannies of the material and I was suddenly taller, thinner and pushed up and in, in all the right places. The neckline was a little awkward so I couldn't wear a normal bra - you will need a strapless or petals. This is a wow dress, the color and fit scream goddess. This dress demands respect and a quick up down - a definite for any occasion where you want to feel like a A-lister. *This dress fits like a glove, so own what the good Lord gave you and strut.

Fun in the Sun Sonoran Sweetheart
I am moving to Scottsdale AZ and wore this for a day of exploring, drinks and shopping. It was comfortable enough to wear from sun up to sun down. It was 90 degrees and I didn't break a sweat, even with the bell sleeves (there are tiny punched holes through the fabric which allows the material and body to breath) . It is short. I am 5' 5.5" so closer to 5'6 and I was majorly worried about showing the world my dark side, but my husband ensured my butt wasn't hanging out! It was also low cut. As a small 34 B, I went without a bra, someone who is a little more gifted up front - might be comfortable with a cami, but hey if ya got it flaunt it! This is not a style I would have even looked at in the store, but I decided to take a risk and I LOVED IT. I would rent this again for drinks on the patio, girls night out, garden party with friends - but not for a work event, or meeting with my in-laws.

Professional without being stuffy. A perfect mix of elegance and sophistication.
The dress was a little snug, and a bit shorter from what I usually wear. I typically wear between a 6-8 depending on the designer and cut, but in this dress the 10 was most comfortable in the arms (the lace isn't very forgiving) and thighs (I am pear shape.). It is a perfect dress if you plan on sitting and standing, I wouldn't have been comfortable dancing (unless it was a romantic slow song!). While it was short, it was not indecent. I am a partner of a company and wore this to our annual meeting and did not feel inappropriate. I would rent this dress and style dress again.
