Pretty color
I rented this dress as a backup to another Herve order. While I loved the color and style, the XS fit much more snug than the other XS Herve I ordered. While it looked great once I was able to get into it, I felt a bit too constricted. I probably would have worn it and been happy if the other dress hadn't worked out even better.

Weird fit
I rented this dress as a backup and luckily was not set on wearing it. The shape was extremely unflattering on my figure, making my hips look about ten times larger than they actually are. The zipper on the 0 also was damaged and I could not get it all the way up. I also felt the fabric made the dress look much cheaper than it seems online. Overall, not the best RTR dress (although I have had plenty of other amazing orders!).

Stunning!
I wore this dress for my bachelorette party, and it was absolutely stunning! Definitely hugs every curve, but not so tight that I couldn't breathe. It also has a bit more of a conservative top than some other Herve dresses, which made me feel more comfortable given my larger chest size. The color was also beautiful, especially if you are looking to stand out in a crowd. Would rent again in a heartbeat!

Fun and Comfy
I absolutely loved this dress! It was such a fun dress for a girls night out. Fit true to size and was incredibly comfortable. Only complaint would be that I was shedding sequins all night long. That said, I couldn't tell that any were missing when I got the dress or by the end of the night (even though the evidence was all over my floor). Overall a fun rental!

Cute dress!
I rented this dress as my free birthday dress for a nice dinner out. The dress was adorable and very comfortable. The material is extremely nice quality, and I felt great all evening. Was longer on me than the model (I'm only 5'0), but still hit above my knee. Overall, great dress!

Pretty, but nothing special
I rented this dress for a laid back New Year's party. It worked well for the occasion and had just enough sparkle. If you're looking for something that's really different or special though, this is not your dress. It also runs very short. I am very short myself and ended up going with the 2 instead of my normal size 0 because it barely covered my butt! The size up was much bigger in the waist than I would have wanted, but it wasn't a big deal. Very comfortable dress.

Absolutely adorable
I wore this dress for my bridal shower, and it was absolutely perfect! The dress fit so well it was as if I had gotten it tailored to me perfectly. The little snaps for your bra straps were perfect, and it was nice to be able to wear a regular bra. The colors are even more vibrant in person. Overall one of my favorite rentals yet!

Adorable dress!
Wore this dress for my engagement pictures, and it was just perfect. Very flattering and beautiful color. I'm pretty short and the dress hit right above my knee. Great length for me, but could be a bit short on taller girls.

Perfect Little Black Dress
I rented this dress for new year's and absolutely loved it! The lace makes the dress both classy and a little sexy too. I'm typically between and 2 and a 0, but the 0 fit so well that I didn't even bother trying the 2 on. Definitely one of the most flattering dresses I've rented!

Beautiful color!
Overall, I loved this dress. The color was beautiful and it worked well for a work holiday party. I typically wear a size 2, and ordered the 2 and size 4 because I was afraid it would be tight in the bust. However, I think the 0 would have fit me much better. It definitely has a bit of stretch up top and was much longer on me (came down to my knee) than the model. The pleats and gathering were fun and flattering touches!

Cute back, but not the best for curvy girls!
This dress was adorable, especially the bow detail in the back. Unfortunately, I found it a bit boxy for my figure and ended up wearing something else. If you are straight and narrow though, this dress would probably look great!

If only it weren't too long!
This dress is absolutely beautiful. I think it's probably the most flattering dress I've ever worn and hugs in all the right places. Unfortunately, it ended up being way way too long on me. I realize I'm short (5'0''), but I ordered a petite and wore 4'' heels. I checked with the stylist beforehand, who assured me it would work. However, the dress was still several inches too long. I really wanted to make it work, considering how beautiful the dress was, but I would have ended up tripping over myself the whole night. All that said, I have to tip my hat to RTR's customer service. They delivered my order on time despite all of the complications from hurricane Sandy.

Pretty, but heavy
These earrings were very pretty and definitely added the flair I was looking for. That said, they were VERY heavy and I had to take them out toward the end of the night.

Great with any color!
I loved these earrings! I was looking for something with color to go with the Moschino Cheap and Chip dress, and these did the trick. They really picked up the yellow of the dress without overpowering it. I have very small ears, so it was nice that they weren't too heavy either.

loved this dress
I wore this dress to a black-tie optional wedding and absolutely loved it! I'm 5'0, so the dress was a bit longer on me than the model. Not a huge issue for me given that it was a formal wedding, but if you are looking to show some leg, this dress probably won't do it. I typically wear a 2, and the 38 was snug, but still comfortable and easy to move in. However, the zipper on the side can be a little tricky as it tends to get stuck on the heavy fabric by the bust and there is no cat and eye closure to help guide it up. Also, the color is a bit more mustard and has less of sheen to it in person than it appears to have in pictures. That said, I got tons of compliments and felt great in it all night!

Perfect fit!
I rented this dress for a dressy rehearsal dinner. I typically wear a 2, and the 2 fit perfectly. I also have a larger bust for my size (34-D), but it wasn't too tight in the chest at all. The material is very nice and even has some stretch if you are worried about sizing. My only complaint was that the top of the dress in the back kept rolling over (probably from wear over time), so the tag kept popping out. Otherwise a great rental!

I absolutely loved this dress! It's much nicer than it looks in the picture, and was extremely flattering. I'm pretty short and have a larger bust for my height, but the small wasn't at all too tight and still hit above my knee. That said, for girls with smaller busts, I might recommend getting one size down because the satin makes it easy for the dress to slip down if it's too big. All in all, a great rental.
