Stunning color!
The MR was my backup size. the SR I thought I'd wear became unavailable. No biggie because the MR fit perfectly. I wore this for a charity Mardi Gras ball and the bright pink was a perfect fit. It is quite tight, but still moveable. I'm 5'2 and with 6 inch heels the dress was still a bit too long. I had to lift it up a lot during the night but I managed without it interfering with the fun. (I tried fashion tape but the material was too heavy for it.) I received so many compliments while wearing this. My husband asked right away, can you buy it and keep it? This was my first Herve Leger dress and I will definitely be renting this designer again.

Beautiful color!
This was my second choice of dress. I didn't wear it but mainly because it was too long even with 5' heels. (I'm 5'2.) I was afraid I'd trip while dancing. The fit was great, but a little large. I received a 4R, but could have worn the 2R. I went with the other Nicole Miller dress I rented. I always love her designs!

Loved this dress!
Overall the dress fit a little large. I could have easily worn the 2R, but it wasn't available. The 4R was a little bit roomy and the straps fell down a few times while dancing, but still felt great on. The length was perfect. I'm 5'2 and wore 5' heels. The dress covered the floor slightly and once it a while my heels stuck in it, but not a big deal. The color was nice although I would have preferred it a little more silver than gray. I received SO many compliments from my husband, friends and strangers! I felt great wearing this.

I felt beautiful!
This dress is gorgeous! I wore it to a NYE ball and while most of the women were wearing short cocktail dresses I was happy I wore this gown. I had countless people stop me to say how beautiful it was. I could have worn the 2R except for the chest area. It squeezed me a little more than I would like so I went with the 4R. I had to wear 6 in heels in order to prevent too much dragging, although the dress still touched the floor. It's a bit longer in the back which made it really easy to walk in without stepping on. We danced for hours and had no issues with the dress. The color is definitely more in the brown family while I had originally thought it had some silver tone to it based on the pics. There is no silver at all. I would recommend this to anyone! LOVE RTR!! In fact, all my table mates at the ball wanted to know all about RTR!

Lovely Lace!
I really liked the feel of the dress and the stretch made it fit better than expected. I did notice at the bodice the lace was laying the opposite way (probably from many wears and cleanings) and because of it, the nude color underlay was visible often and I was constantly having to tuck it back in. I wore it with a nu bra. The length was perfect for me. I didn't feel as good in this dress as I have others, but it was still worth the rental.

Sparkly NYE
My holiday over indulgence was prevalent with this size 6. The dress was a bit tight, but it worked. I received quite a few compliments on the dress. I wore it with some silver strappy shoes with some jewels for a little bling. The sequins didn't scratch at all. The length was ok, but I would have liked it about an inch shorter. I wore it a nu bra which helped provide a little cleavage without the need for a regular bra.

Shooting Star Dress

REALLY FUN PARTY DRESS!
I wore this or NYE. I ordered a S & XS and wore the XS. It ran a little large. I prefer this style of dress to be more form fitting and the S was a little to baggy in areas. Like other reviewers I found the sequins to scratch my underarms a little, but it was not really bothersome. I received so many compliments with this dress! I would definitely rent it again.

LOVED THIS DRESS!
I wore this on NYE. It fit me much better than I had expected. I ordered a 6 with a 4 as my backup. The 6 fit ok, but was a bit large in the breast area. Luckily the 4 still fit in other areas. I wore a NuBra so that I would have a better fit, which worked. The only issue was that I had to keep pulling it up to cover the NuBra. I tried fashion tape, but that didn't really hold it. It could have been worn without the bra with no problem, I just liked the look with the NuBra much better. Also, I'm short at 5'2 and the dress rode up quite a bit while dancing, but since it wasn't terribly short on me (came to my mid-thigh) to start with, that was an issue for me. Be careful though if you wear longer spanx as they would show because of the riding up. I would definitely rent this dress again. I received tons of compliments!

Drive Him Crazy Dress

Super cute!
I really loved this dress! The chiffon kept riding up showing the slip underneath, but I was expecting that based on other reviews. I didn't really bother me. I thought it added to the look of the dress. I ordered both a S and XS and ended up wearing the XS. I have a larger bust and was actually surprised that XS fit so well. It was a tad bit tight on the lower side, but not bothersome. I danced the night away in this dress! My husband loved how I looked in it! I would definitely rent it again.
