Comfy and cute!
This was a great dress for an end-of-summer, outdoor wedding. I was initially worried that the bodice and waist would be too tight, but it fit comfortably while sitting, eating, and dancing. The skirt flares out just the right amount, and the pockets were deep enough to hold chapstick and my phone. I also rented the necklace shown on the model, which was the perfect accessory.

Simple and classy!
Loved this black and white number-- the sequins made it super glam without being obnoxious. The front was a bit low-cut, but nothing that fashion tape couldn't fix. Be sure to pull the skirt lining down when you sit, otherwise you'll get scratched a bit by the sequins. Super comfortable dress; will rent again!

Gorgeous dress; lots of pretty details.
This dress was so beautiful-- dark mustard in color with lace and beading throughout! With lace being so popular this year, the color and detail of the dress definitely made it stand out. This is not a short dress (I'm 5'8" and it still hit at the knee when standing), and the sleeves were comfortable/not tight at all. Would not recommend for busty women, as the chest doesn't have too much room to give.

Beautiful summer style!
This dress fit perfectly-- fitted but comfortable in the waist and hips, and hitting right at my knee. The color blocking (light pink and seafoam) is so pretty, and the pencil skirt shape is incredibly classy!

Dress didn't work out, but the rental experience was fantastic.
I ordered this dress in a 0 and a 2 (as a backup size). The 0 was way too large in the bust-- it slid right off, and no push-up bra or padding could have helped. It was also a lot shorter than expected, and the colors on the dress were dull and not as vibrant as the photo shows. I called RTR and they shipped me a new dress that arrived the very next day...fantastic customer service, as always!

Perfect for winter events!
I rented both the 2 and the 4, and both were extremely tight-fitting through the arms/shoulders. I ended up wearing the 4, even though there was a hole in the sleeve. Otherwise, this is a beautiful dress-- the bit of gold shimmer in the lace is gorgeous. Very classy!

Little black dress with a twist.
This dress was both comfortable and beautiful. The gold details were much prettier in person, and really made the dress stand out in a crowd of other black dresses.

Great for a fall/winter event!
Beautiful jewel-toned dress. Body-hugging (tighter than other Herve Leger dresses I've worn), but also long (it hit below my knees). Had to keep adjusting the sleeves throughout the night, as they rode up/past my shoulders.

Elegant dress for any occasion
Beautiful dress; the details on the bodice are shimmery (not glittery) and interesting. Runs a little large in the chest/shoulders.

Fun, but not particularly flattering...
The color and sequins are gorgeous, but this dress runs a little large (especially around the arms and waist) and is cut lower/looser than I expected. The fabric is also pretty top-heavy, and it seemed like there was more padding in the bust area than necessary. Double-sided tape is a must for this dress!

Classic LBD with a twist.
This dress was great for a formal event; it was snug in all of the right places, but also had a little bit of stretch to it. The ruching in the front and the ever-so-slight cowlneck made the dress interesting, as well. My only problem was that the XSL was still a bit too short on my 5'8" frame.

Looking elegant, fun, and on-trend all at the same time!
This is a gorgeous dress with a foil pattern that isn't overbearing-- it shimmers just slightly. It isn't a fitted dress (I prefer things a little tighter around the waist), but it still gave me some shape. The top cuts very low/wide, so I had to check that my strapless bra wasn't showing from time to time. The pockets were a definite plus!

Feeling comfortable and elegant at the same time.
This dress was just the right amount of "sexy" without showing too much skin. The dress definitely hugs your curves, but the fabric has a little bit of stretch to it. The length of the dress hit just above my knee, which was perfect for the gala I attended for work.

Adorable!
I've rented several dresses from RTR, but this is definitely my favorite! It fit perfectly and seemed tailored specifically for my body. The dress hit a couple of inches above the knee, and you can button/unbutton the ruffled top part to be as conservative or revealing as you like. Very cute summer dress; perfect for my brother's graduation and celebration dinner.

This is a beautiful dress; it has a lot more sequins than the picture seems to show, and they seem more bronze (rather than gold) in-person. Perfect length, but got the 0 and it was still quite large-- if possible, rent a size smaller (or pin it, like I did). Got tons of compliments all night!

Cute summer dress
I wore this to a relative's engagement party, and it was a hit! Initially I was worried about it being too short and/or the top falling down, but it fit perfectly and was quite appropriate for a casual summer event.
