Beautiful, unique dress
The pictures do not do this dress justice! The fabric with hint of gold is beautiful. Thick, so perfect for fall or winter. Great alternative to LBD

So much sparkle!
Perfect for a holiday party! The color is definitely more dark blue, not gray, with silver sparkle that sheds everywhere but oh well. Large in the chest (even for my breastfeeding boobs), but nothing a little fashion tape can't help. Such a flattering cut, you'll love it!

Beautiful pattern & color
I rented this to wear to a friend's baby shower brunch, and at 7 months pregnant myself I was very surprised the XS was the best fitting for me. The skirt is very flowy and pretty and easily fits a baby belly. The stretchy back and adjustable straps are perfect. Would have been 5 stars but I felt like the skirt was huge, I can hardly imagine wearing this without a baby belly, it would feel too big to me. Lots of compliments though! Wish I had more places to wear it this summer!

Loved the colors but didn't wear
I really wanted to love this necklace. The colors & size are great, but it didn't feel formal enough to wear for my creative black tie event. Would def wear for a more fun cocktail party!

Easy, flattering dress
I liked this dress a lot more than I thought I would! The XS fit my 22 week belly perfectly thanks to some super comfy stretch (I'm usually an xs or s). Pretty spring/summer pattern would be perfect for anything from a baby shower or daytime party to being dressed up for the evening. Light weight, flattering ruching, and it great condition (tags were still on!).

YES!!!
Ended up exchanging for the XS and was so glad that I did! Beautiful color, unique cut & design, super flattering, was told several times that my husband should buy it for me. Felt great as long as you're standing not sitting! Little to no stretch so keep that in mind when choosing shoes. My first jumpsuit rental, and I'd def recommend. If you're on the fence, go for it!

Perfect for a Bond themed black tie party
My husband couldn't believe that random women on the street stopped to compliment me before we even arrived at the gala. This is gorgeous! Sexy, flattering, super comfortable, no tugging and adjusting anything! Would def rent again. I'm very small chested and needed to wear a padded nubra to fill out the top, otherwise the top was a little empty and pointy looking. No big deal! The slit in the middle is great for walking/dancing. This is a real stunner!

Great size for fitting my iPhone, lipstick, etc. Was surprised at how heavy it was, so this is definitely better for an even that you don't need to carry it all night. Great for adding a little sparkle (careful, it does shed)!

Really wanted to like this more!
Fits true to size, but beware of undergarment lines. This would have been 4 stars if the off-the-should stayed off-the-shoulder! Loved the cut, beautiful blush color and general fit, but hated pulling at the neckline all night long. Wore with black tights and black booties

Blush Vana Knit Dress

Classy & a little sexy
I was a little nervous before it arrived reading other reviews, but decided to give it a shot. This dress is awesome! Sized down for my back up and so glad that I did! The top of the size small was way too big. Sizing down made the top less crazy voluminous and the bottom was tight but not too bad. The fabric is thick, perfect for an autumn party, but stretchy. I'm small in the busy so I wore a regular bra with one strap tucked under my arm. So many compliments! It's a fun, little bit sexy silhouette and I'd definitely rent again.

Great base for layering jewelry and a cute jacket (it's cold in Boston!). This is a versatile, fun, comfy dress that I can imagine getting lots of wears out of.

Unique and playful
Sized up to avoid camel-toe, but the small fit better in the chest and didn't pucker in the back. So cute for a day/evening event and a little sexy with lots of leg and the open back. Wore with espadrilles and minimal jewelry for an easy summer look. Would definitely rent this number again!

A dream dress!
Beautiful and unique! Would definitely rent again. Received compliments all day long. I rented the 2 and 4, both fit but I opted for the 4 with a little more breathing room around the middle since it was for an outdoor wedding on a hot July day and the fabric is surprisingly thick. Only complaint was that I had to wear my most padded strapless bra since I'm small chested and the 4 was too roomy in the chest. Wish I could have kept it!

I was swimming in the size small but the xs was unavailable. Wore with a skinny belt and blazer to remedy the sizing issue but it was a hot night so I ended up taking the blazer off and fidgeting lots. Would try again in the right size. Super cute and comfy!

Love love love
I wanted to keep it! It was a toss up which size worked best for my breastfeeding boobs, but in the end I went with the 4 since the straps on the 6 were too long and caused awkward puckering when sitting. Did have to use fashion tape to keep my bra from showing. I'm 5'3" and it was a perfect short -but -not -too -short length on me. The colors are beautiful and vibrant, and the lace detail at the neck was lovely and in good shape. I got compliments all night.

Beautiful color, great fit
Usually I'm a 0 or 2, but the 0 wasn't available, but luckily the 2 ended up being a great fit. Such a beautiful dress! Wish I had rented (or owned) a perfect statement necklace but I made do with a longer one. Felt lovely and springy! Remember to stand up straight because the skirt does poof a bit around the hips, but I still loved this dress. Arrived in great condition too!

Classy look
Great for a bridal shower! Very flattering around the waist. It was a cold day in Manhattan so I paired with a black bolero, black tights and black ankle boots. This dress has great details and doesn't need much jewelry. The zipper on the 0 was fussy and since there would be a lot of sitting I opted for the 2 for comfort's sake. There was no wow factor with this one (I did get compliments) but it's a classy look that was right for the occasion.

Perfect for a winter date
I loved the unique pattern and my husband loved how it hugged my curves! Warm enough for a Feb date night in Boston. Both the xs and small fit, but since we planned to have a delicious dinner at an Italian restaurant I wanted to make sure there was enough room for food! Also, the xs was pretty darn short was sitting. I'm 5'3" and the small was a perfect length - fun and sexy while still being a bit conservative.

I'm a sucker for a backless dress and this didn't disappoint! Wore this for NYE for dinner and dancing with friends. Would have given 5 stars if it didn't ride up so much. Had to pay attention to and tug the dress down when getting up from my chair and while dancing. Beautiful design and a fun party dress. Wore with cobalt blue heels and sparkly blue stud earrings. Already looking for an excuse to rent again!

Love these! I have a short pixie haircut and wanted something sparkly and bold to go with the green dress I rented for my husband's office holiday party. Not too heavy to wear all night, would definitely rent again!

Classy but fun
I had really wanted to wear something lacy but my first choice dress didn't fit, so I opted for something plainer by a designer I knew would fit me. I wore the 2 with plenty of breathing room, but could have sized down. It didn't suck me in the way some of the other reviewers said, but the 0 would have been a little short for my taste/long legs for a charity event with hours of sitting (the skirt of the 2 just covered my butt when sitting). The skirt was so fun though! I loved the the texture and the bit of flounce to it. It was also nice that it's a thick fabric so I didn't feel like it was going to fly up. This was a great alternative to a LBD. I paired with a black blazer (it's cold in Boston) and blue heels. I would definitely rent again and wear with a statement necklace.

Fun alternative to LBD
Love the color! I rented this for a wedding rehearsal dinner that I was a bridesmaid for and felt it was appropriate (maybe a little short on you tall gals, but at 5'3" I like some leg showing). The dress was a little raggedy at the bottom hem, but not actually torn and wasn't noticeable to anyone but me. I liked it so much I wore it to a birthday party the next night. I had rented the necklace on the model to go with it but just wore small silver hoops instead, it felt like too much going on with the necklace. I rented size 0 with 2 backup and wore the 0. The 2 had a little more breathing room in the shoulders and was about the same length, but had an awkward amount bunched at my lower back (I have a small waist). Fun pattern, great color for blondes and Hubs loved it.

Didn't end up wearing it
I rented this to go with a dress for a wedding rehearsal dinner, but didn't wear it. The necklace came with one of the gems rolling around in the box, but my husband was able to reattach it. It's a fun costume piece, but was much more sparkly than I was looking for and I found out the other gals weren't quite as fancy/fun so I decided to tone it down and only wear earrings.

Gorgeous colors with a knock-out fit
I was a little nervous that there wasn't a size small available as a back-up, but the xs was a gorgeous fit! The small might have taken less wrangling with the zipper to get into, but once I was in the xs was fab. This was my birthday party dress and I got so many compliments -- no one could believe it was a rental. This was my first Herve Leger dress, and I can see why everyone loves it! So flattering, really cinches in the waist, and with a push up bra I had all the right curves. It's one of the more conservative designs, but was perfect for my party (mix of family and friends) and the ombre color are beautiful. Would definitely rent again!

Love these! They felt heavy when I tried them at first, but the backs are very secure so I didn't feel like they were pulling at my ears all night. At this price they were the perfect addition to the party outfit (wore with Slate & Willow Margaux Sheath).

Party perfect sparkle
This was for a bachelorette party where we all wore something sparkly. I rented both the 0 and the 2, and the 2 was far to stretched out, esp since I was planning on going bra-less. The 0 fit like a glove, but I had to tape the shoulders so I wouldn't be fidgeting with the sleeves sliding off all night. The open back is awesome, but puckered from being stretched out and then taped, but it was dark so I didn't mind too much. I used an adhesive bra since I'm small in the chest and didn't feel it was quite tight enough for a night of dancing at a bachelorette party. Received lots of compliments and my husband was very disappointed he only got pictures. This is short, but at 5'3" I felt comfortable with this as an awesome party dress. Wore with Juliet & Co silver Lillliana earrings -- party perfect, and would rent this outfit again!

Beautiful dress
I love the fit of this dress! My normal size was a perfect fit and comfortable for sitting for an hour car ride and then the theater. Since it was a cold, snowy night in Boston I wore it with black leggings and black boots and it still looked/felt/fit fine. The colors were a bit brighter (difficult to capture n my photo) and it had more sparkle than I originally thought, making it even better in person. The fabric is thinner than I thought it would be, so if you're wearing this on a very cold winter night I'd recommend a sleeve just in case.

Just the right amount of sparkle!
After reading other reviews and knowing that I can be in-between sizes I opted for a size 2 with a size 0 back-up. The bust on the size 2 was really big on me and the size of the armholes made a strapless bra show. The fabric is beautiful and thick, but where it was too big it hung really weird. Luckily, the size 0 fit me great! The colors are gorgeous and vibrant, and the little bits of sparkle were perfect! The back of the dress is beautiful and a little different, but the straps kept falling off my shoulders as others also have pointed out, so there was a bit of fidgeting throughout the night. Overall, I loved how this fit and looked when I sized down and would definitely recommend it!
