Stunning and form fitting
I was looking for a bandage dress but they were all sold out. I was happy to find this dress that Is body hugging with a sexy off the shoulder fit. I was able to wear a NuBra with it and while both the size 4 and 6 fit, the 6 gave me just a bit more room to move. I didn't have any issues with the shoulder falling down but was a bit restricted raising my arms above my head. That is a minor flaw though. Overall an amazing dress and vibrant color.

Perfect for a bridal shower!
This dress can be work for so many occasions. A shower, corporate event, fall or spring season - very versatile. Because of the sheath design it did run a bit big. Glad I sized down for my 2nd size. Beautiful rich purple and tons of compliments. It's a very light silky material too so it hung lovely and no creases from sitting or driving.

Able to wear white to a wedding!
Another great dress! Standard bandage fit by Herve only my 32a chest was a bit too small for the dress so I added a NuBra to help with the fit. Straps were a bit long but nothing fashion tape couldn't fix :-)

Very comfortable and eye catching
Form fitting without being restricting like a bandage dress. Good length (I'm 5'2") and wedding appropriate. I was able to wear a regular bar. The Small and XSmall were almost the same fit, so I went with the XS since I'm on the shorter side. I loved the original pattern on this dress. Unfortunately, the picture was taken without a flash indoors, so its not the best to show off the dress pattern.

This was an amazing dress for a holiday party.
The picture has a bit of a yellow hue because I had to take it in the bathroom, but in natural light, it sparkles and shines without looking gaudy. A cream based dress with silver sparkles. I was able to wear a normal bra with it and the material is not stretchy, so you have room to breathe. It is gorgeous while being understated.

Perfect for a Great Gatsby 1920s halloween party
The dress was a tad tight in the waist, and loose on top, however by tightening the halter ties and adding some fashion tape, I was able to keep it from showing off my chest when I bent over. You have to wear a Nu Bra (or go bra-less) due to the cut of the dress. It was a heavier weight due to being all sequins and draped nicely. I'm not really a sequins fan, but for the theme of this party, it was perfect! No complaints!

Sweet Almond Martini Dress
Haute Hippie
Size Worn: S
Usual Size: 4

Bust: 32B
Bright, fitted and flirty!
This was a fun dress. Don't let the photograph fool you - it is fitted in the waist but the style of the back and lower dress gives it shape and movement. The back has a faux "train" giving the dress more to be desired than your basic red strapless dress. I wore a NuBra under it because of the v-cut back. The material is a thicker cotton which you cannot tell from the picture, but that didnt make it any less formal or dressy. The color was bold requiring minimal accessorizing.

Lightweight, flowy and subtly sexy
This was another WIN for RTR! The dress definitely runs large. I usually wear a 4. I could have worn a 0. The 2 fit great in my waist but the chest area was a bit loose at the top, exposing my chest if I bent down, so I recommend fashion tape. I wore a Nu Bra with it since you cannot wear a regular bra due to the cut outs. It was a very comfortable dress to wear all night, lightweight and gave a sexy feel without feeling vampy, which made it wedding appropriate. I'm 5'2" and it was a good length, so if you are on the taller side, I'd be cautious.

Vibrant colors and a chic, sophisticated dress
This is one of my favorite dress rentals so far! The colors were amazing and the fit was very form fitting (as with all Herve dresses). Due to the length of this dress, it was more wedding appropriate than other Herve styles. Since this is one of the older Herve rentals, the XS fit well where with the newer dresses, I am usually a size Small. I wore it with a NuBra and nude heels.

Saint Tropez Dress

Usual Size: 4

Fitted and flirty!
I'm 5'2, athletic build with a 34A chest. I wore the NuBra under this to add some cleavage. As soon as it arrived, I took it out of the bag and fluffed the skirt. A few hours later it was full and ready to go! The poofy-ness of the full skirt was very feminine and the muted navy lace kept it professional for a work party. It also has a nude layer underneath so you're not showing off any skin under the lace. There is no stretch in the fabric at all so if you are very broad or have heavier upper arms, consider sizing up.

This dress was HOT!
It was a toss up between the Small and X-Small but I went with the XS because it was a bit more narrow on top which was better suited for my small chest. I wore the Nu-Bra to give me some added shape. EVERYONE complimented this dress - from the bride to my grandfather to the bartender. It is beyond form fitting but in a respectful, classy way. I wore it with nude platform heels. What I love most about it is how original the design is. Not your typical LBD. If you want to make a statement, you cannot go wrong with this dress.

I sadly did not wear this dress
It was a lovely dress but I am small chested - 32B - and the top didnt have enough boning/structure to hold it up on me. Also, I'm short - 5'2" - and the length was just at my knee cap. A bit too long for my liking.

Tons of compliments
This dress is beautiful and sexy! It is very form fitting and hugs every curve. Because of my small bust I needed to enhance the top with a strapless bra and NuBra. The strapless bra did not show on the front or back either which was a plus (I was nervous of this because of the back opening). Although I'm short, the length was perfect, a few inches above my knee. While the XS fit, the S was more forgiving and allowed me to be comfortable.
