Peplum was pellummin' hard
First of all, I'm not even sure if peplum is really back, and that's on me. But this top just took it to a degree that no sane person is going to enjoy, Like, the ruffles stick out horizontally from your body. This top would be perfect for a melon heist because you can fit anything under the bottom half of this top, and you can't see it. Pregnant? Burrito baby? Knock yourself out in this. It was just too much for me personally.

Super cute dress, but if I could hem it 2 inches, I would. Otherwise, very easy to wear & comfy!

Lived in it!
I rented this for a party and ended up wearing it everywhere for days. People were calling it my Mattise gown. I'm short and it was fine! You can also do the straps up or down. I preferred a little 45-degree action myself.

5 star potato sack
I am in a bit of a sad mood right now, so the potato sack dress was perfect. I see it has a bunch of haters in the other reviews, but if you are feeling 5 pounds heavier and having a hard time, you can attend events in this and look like you tried. You're not depressed - you are just whimsy girl in her casual era.

Comfy, good for short girls
I wore it on safari. Super comfy, easy to get on & off. Short girls can wear flats, but I think it would work up to like 5'6".

Perfect for short girls, lots of buttons
This was the perfect safari onesie. Super cute, soft but structured, great w belt or without. Short girls can wear this without heels! Beware the bathroom might take a while because the buttons are numerous and a bit cumbersome. Worth it!!

Big in the waist/butt - added some bulk there, but cute
Maybe this dress just wasn't for my body. I feel like it made my waist seem bigger due to the cut, and then it was loose in that area. I could have fixed the issue w a belt but I was lazy.

A little stodgy on short girls
This looks perfect on the model, but it skews a little "serious school marm" if you have short legs. If this skirt were 2 inches shorter, it would be great on us. I may buy it and alter it! It's made very well.

I guess peplum is having a moment, but as soon as I wore this I remembered why it went away in the first place. It's not the shirt's fault so I'm still giving it 4 stars even though in photos I looked like I had gained about 15 pounds.

Super cute, just confusing
I got compliments on this jacket, but it was just a bit odd to put on. I wore it with the collar on my shoulder blades. Oh well - it was still cute.

Way too small in the top
I'm usually a size 8, and I even do a 6 or a 4 when the shoulders are exposed in a dress. However, this so-called medium did not cover half my boobs. It was side book central to the point of being indecent. BEWARE!

Weird chest
If you are larger chested, this is not the top for you. I thought since it was a wrap I could adjust as necessary but there was no amount of adjusting that would have made this work for my boobs. If you carry most of your weight in your chest, beware!

9 million stars!
It is just too fun being Tony The Tiger all around town. I've been renting this for like 3 months now, so I'm just going to bite the bullet & buy it once I exchange for an 8. It does run a bit big. Seriously, I get compliments everywhere I go in this. It's well-structured, warm but not hot, and the colors are perfectly vibrant. If I've been in my jams all day & want to run out for a coffee, no prob, this is my outfit now. I never knew I'd be so into wild trench coat!

Weird closure on front
I was not able to wear this. It has a bizarre snap in the front and is extremely low cut. I thought it was a business top. I actually have no idea where or how you're supposed to wear it.

CUTE but tiny - Order 2 sizes up
I love this dress, but it runs super tiny. Just to give you an idea, my usual skirt size is 8, which I wore in another RTR piece 2 weeks ago. I ordered this in a 10 thinking the larger size would accommodate my top-heavy body. Nope. I had to place a second order and go to a 12, and even that was snug! Because the original 10 hadn't fit, I just thought I must have gained weight so I ordered my entire RTR shipment in a larger size this time and now everything is swimming on me except this little number. Oh well. That said, it's SO fun. I just loved the whole 80's vibe to it. I paired it with animal print heels and wore it to an art gallery opening. I'd rent it again in a heartbeat!

RISQUE! But worth it.
Do not let the conservative front-view of this dress make you think it's for church. Hell no. It's wild in the back. You need to be very confident in showing off your entire back to wear this. I got stunning reactions from people in it - it's sheer power. It does run a little large. If I wear it again, I'll go with the Medium because the strap kept falling into the waist in back. 4 stars due to the strap slipping & surprise risqué factor. PS- there is risk of side boob, so dance carefully or buy fashion tape!

Runs HUGE but so cute!
I'm normally a 10 in dresses but a 6-8 in pants, so it's my own fault I ordered the 10 in this and had to send it back for exchange. RTR shipped me the 6 as a replacement and it worked much better! There is a ton of stretch in this. You can move in it, relax, go to parties - anything. I got compliments everywhere!

Stays up!
There's just enough stretch in this dress to fit even if you're two different sizes from top to bottom. (Raises hand!) Anyway, I had read complaints the arms were tight and while I generally have bigger arms, they were not tight at all. Many compliments!

Just about every person I interacted with that day gave me a compliment on this skirt. There's no stretch, so be careful with sizing. It's true to size, the end.

Sexier than I expected!
This dress has tons of stretch, so it's great for anyone with curves. It's basically a mini-dress with a curtain of lace that make it technically knee-length. It shows like a mini-dress though - super sexxxy. I should have gotten the small though - a tad extra fabric around the middle, but still fabulous!

This thing runs huge and long. If you're short, run.
If you're short, run. I thought this was going to be super sassy, but it ended up being frumpy due to the huge size and long length.

Rainbow colors! ZERO stretch
This is much more fun party dress than it appears. Zoom in - the fabric is actually many rainbow threads, not an overall brown appearance as it seems in pics. It is very low cut. If you have cleavage, either get out your pins or be prepared. There is no stretch. I'm a size 6 in skirts, 38" chest and could not zip this in a Medium. I didn't want to force it, so I sent it back. Size up! It's an eye-catcher though - so cute!

Frilly & sexy
I was so thankful that Sorayda at RTR was able to replace a dress that didn't work with THIS BEAUTY! Wow, it is a total show-stopper. I was a bit worried the length would be too long on me, but it worked. I wore this to a photo shoot with my family and the photographer put a yellow flower crown with it. I wish I had that to post, but my selfie as I let the house will have to do! It runs just a tad big with lots of stretch. If your problem area is big shoulders, this will be a charm.

Every time I rent a Herve Leger, I'm very happy. Beware the dress "grows" over the course of the evening. I always pray as I squeeze into it, but by dinner I'm struggling to pull it up. That fact doesn't detract from the fact I love these & will rent many more!

Stretches over the course of the night
This dress will SMASH your expectations for the first 30 minutes you wear it. You are a queen. No, you are Beyonce. Then, the thing starts stretching out and slowly either you are shrinking as a person, or the dress took an Eat Me pill and grew two sizes. Like, it uniformly expands and suddenly you're not Beyonce, you're a kid trying on your mom's Vegas hoe dress and your boobs are falling. 4 stars because the first 1/2 hour is pretty great.
