Classically beautiful gown that fit perfectly!

I received so many compliments on this gown; while it is simple, the material is lovely and hides imperfections (I am a new mom with a mom tummy). I would highly recommend!

Loved this dress! So many compliments!

I wore this for a brunch the day after a recent wedding and had so many people complimenting and asking where I got it. The portion around the ribs is very fitted, but the rest is comfortable and flattering. Love the pattern!

Perfect dress for a Charleston bachelorette getaway.

While I was shocked (because all of my other Lily experiences have run smaller), the cut of this dress makes it run a bit larger. It is forgivinh and flattering and I received many compliments from the other girls on the trip who don't often wear Lily patterns. The colors are vibrant and the dress is comfortable. I particularly love the top embroidery. LOVE!

Beautiful addition for a black tie affair.

The necklace had lovely detailing and the sparkle adds a perfect finishing touch on a black dress; my only negative is that it is slightly smaller than I expected, but it was still beautiful.

Gorgeous, thick material and modern, curve-hugging shape

This dress was a replacement when a dress I ordered was not available. I ended up absolutely loving it and received so many compliments. The material is thick and stretchy; I chose to wear spanx to suck things in even more, but if you don't have much of a problem area in your stomach you would be perfect without that. I also loved that the sleeves smoothed my arms. The only reason I gave this 4 stars is because the upper half did ride up when I danced and picked up my arms.

This dress is a gorgeous red and is a head-turner. It completely hugs your curves, but the built in corset keeps everything in place.

My body type (curvy and short) doesn't usually work with pantsuits, but this one was very comfortable and fit well. It was a bit long on me, but some wedges fixed that easily. I definitely recommend!

Perfect bridal moment for tea party bridal shower!

I wore this dress for my bridal shower, which was a garden party theme complete with hats and fascinators. I can't even tell you all of the compliments I received on this dress. It's absolutely gorgeous and hugs the body in such a flattering way. The only slight negative is sitting and standing frequently because the underlayer has a tendency to get bunched, but it's very easily fixed. This is probably my favorite RTR dress to date!

I wore this to an early fall wedding (in September) and received so many compliments! The lace is comfortable and beautiful and the cut of the dress is flattering. I loved this dress and wish that I owned it!

Perfect Valentine's Day dress to subtly wow my honey!

This isn't your average LBD; it's so flattering and absolutely made me feel like the hottest but also sexiest person in the restaurant where my fiancé took me for Valentine's Day. I think it's the perfect blend of hot (the cut outs) and beautiful (the fabric and length) to make anyone feel great.

I actually got this dress sent to me after another Herve that I ordered was damaged; it's fantastic! I didn't end up wearing it for my bachelorette party only because I loved another dress that I ordered from RTR more, but it was perfect. My bridesmaids and girlfriends' jaws dropped when I came out in it. It's very figure flattering and holds everything in. Highly recommend!

LOVED this pop of beautiful color, especially against a contrasting dress!

I wore this necklace with a yellow Halston Heritage dress (also from RTR), and the combination was so striking. I loved the bold, bigger stones. It is definitely a large necklace and the stones are slightly heavy, but if you want a statement necklace, I highly recommend this one!

Perfect accent to a summer tan!

I wore this dress to an August wedding and absolutely loved this gorgeous yellow as a backdrop to my summer look. The color is so vibrant and the cross body neckline is great for dancing and not having to worry about a strapless-type dress falling down. The length isn't too short, but still cute, and the material is very light and airy.

I felt proud to have curves in this dress. So many compliments!

I wore this dress to a winter wedding and received so many awesome compliments; the women were all completely excited to try Rent the Runway after seeing it, and I felt curvy and beautiful while wearing it. Even with some extra winter weight, this dress felt like built in Spanx. I wore the medium slip underneath and the large lace dress overlay. I would absolutely recommend this dress to anyone looking to feel sexy (but not too over the top) for a nice evening.

Flashy and fun to add a pop of color and shine to an outfit!

These were gorgeous earrings; the colors really pop against the gold background. I love wearing big earrings, so these worked for me, but if you're not used to a larger, slightly heavier earring, you may want to look for another choice. Also, the fact that they're clip ons is good because they won't pull down a piercing; however, if you're not used to the feel of clip ons, they might be slightly painful.

Beautiful neckline and classic color and style!

This is a very well-made dress and I received tons of compliments at a black-tie optional wedding. My only negative is that the 10R is advertised as working for my height with 3-4 inch heels; I wore 4 inch heels and the dress was still long. I was able to fold some of the fabric up under the waistband for a lot of the night, but it was a hassle having to deal with it. I advise getting the short, if possible, if you're my height.

Sparkling addition that would make any dress just a little dressier!

This necklace is the perfect amount of sparkle and it would work well with any strapless dress (and probably many others). It's glamorous but not over the top. Loved it!

This was the absolute perfect color to complement a tan!

I couldn't find any cons with this dress. The color is a bright pink/coral type and while it's fitted, it's very flattering and leaves room for eating. I wore it to a summer rehearsal dinner and received lots of compliments. The top is definitely stretchy; I didn't need to wear a bra, but if you're smaller on top, you may want to size down or fill in somehow. I felt so fabulous in this dress and highly encourage you to rent it!

The color of these earrings is great; the design looks great, especially if you're looking for a pop of color. The size is definitely large, but that was what I expected. The only downside is that these earrings are slightly heavier than I'm used to. They didn't hurt at all, but you can definitely feel that you're wearing them.

Perfect pop of color for the summer!

I would absolutely suggest renting this dress. I found that the dress ran true to size, but the top is a little large if you have a smaller chest. I ended up wearing a more padded bra in order to have the best possible fit. The color is absolutely gorgeous (especially with a tan) and the material is thick and luxe-- it smooths over any lumps and bumps you might have. I thought the color needed a little something, so I wore a belt, but I think it would be beautiful with or without.
