It's best to step into it and then gingerly shimmy/pull it up. Once it's on, it's AMAZING. It appears the sleeves can be worn a few different ways, but I went with straight off the shoulder (lower than in the model photo). Wore a normal strapless bra, no issues. I honestly can't imagine loving a dress more.

I ended up wearing the other pair of earrings I rented because they were more comfortable, but these are beautiful. They did only arrive with one "back," but I knew from wearing the silver version that I'd have to use stronger backs anyway.

These earrings are beautiful, and somehow manage to be lightweight and comfortable as well.

This was originally my alternate dress. My first choice unfortunately arrived with major damage so I had no choice but to go with this one. I didn't realize how much I loved it until I was wearing it at my event. It was so comfortable and the color was great. Very classy but fun at the same time. I could have worn either the S or the M but the M looked better. Did not need any shapewear and wore a standard bra. A very low-risk rental!!!

This dress is beautiful, but not for me. It looks like the picture. Received the S and M, both with tags! Both zipped fine, but had the same problems... too big in the bust (this is stated in the description so I expected it) and did not do favors for my waist/hips. I'm a medium B and was wearing a very padded push-up strapless bra, and it still sagged in front. But I think this dress would look fantastic on someone with different proportions. Loved the length-- I'm 5'4'' and it came to the bottom of my knees and looked really great. Looked fantastic from the back too. I rented another Herve and that one was perfect on me, so I'm wearing that one instead.

Loved these earrings. Looked great and didn't hurt. However, they kept falling off no matter how tightly I secured the backs. I had to keep looking for them on the dance floor. Other than that, they were great and I'd rent them again (but would secure them more tightly with different backs).

This is the best dress I've ever worn. The size S fit perfectly, which surprised me because I was expecting it to be a little snug (130, usually wear size 6) but maybe it was stretched out a bit from being worn. The dress was form fitting but did not feel tight or constricting, and was extremely comfortable. I know it says to wear no bra or an adhesive, but a regular strapless bra worked for me. I just wore it a little lower in back and used some tape in the front of the dress to eliminate the side view of the bra. The adhesive would have worked too. The color is more muted than in the picture, but beautiful. The back is fantastic. I had the best time wearing it.
