Pretty detail
Pretty gold detailing but the fit was way off for me. Normally I can make things work but (maybe partially being 5'3") this dress was too long with the gold lace and too low cut at the cleavage. The whole night I had a strapless bra showing at a black tie wedding and there wasn't much I could do about it. Don't recommend for petite ladies.

Stunning embroidery
Pros = Gorgeous embroidery, unique, atypical color scheme, flattering Cons = A little heavy due to the embroidery, but not uncomfortable I LOVE this dress! The embroidery detail is incredible. Wear black sandals for an eye-catching look. I would not recommend this dress in hot weather, however it is wonderful for spring, fall and winter when paired with a black cardigan. I am 5'3" on a good day and it is worn as a maxi, however note for my taller ladies, it is designed to be a midi dress. Have fun!

You'll LOVE this dress but...
I love the vibrant colors on this dress and a print that is unlike many others. The back has a long strand that ties into the prettiest bow! Many dresses with bow ties often leave short tails, but this bow is simply elegant! Pockets and a figure flattering waist are the icing on the cake. My biggest caution is the waist. I generally have a small waist but this was tight on me. Size UP for the waist alone. Also I wore a bandeau just for modesty. Have fun and twirl away!

Fitted, classy dress with pockets
You need this dress. The material is a little thick, perfect for nights or colder weather. The shape is fitted, accentuating the waist line. Pockets are sewn in. There's a small cut-out in the back; the perfect size for showing a modest amount of skin but still allowing a regular bra. I would have loved to keep it!

Classy and elegant
Perfect for any time of the year! The pleated fabric is so elegant it's easy to dress up with a blouse or dress down with a t-shirt and flats. Add a belt around the top if it runs a little big.

Lovely lace details
I love the feminine lace details and the versatility of this dress. My one downside is the cut was not flattering on me (pear shaped body here), however I could see how it would be lovely on others! Good for any time of year!

Great for many occasions
I liked this dress because it is a little different than most. The vertical lace is see-through but you are modestly covered by the nude slip underneath. You can wear a regular nude bra to match the slip. Wore this to a coed wedding shower and received compliments from men and women.

Say YES to this dress!!!
I've worn dozens of RTR dresses and this one is a MUST! Look good and feel great. I don't wear many cleavage-revealing dresses, but this was an exception. The color is gorgeous, the fit is perfect and the material (as always with Herve Leger) hugs in just the right places. Can wear a regular bra, may need to pin it in back. I will be wearing this again!

Waist defining
The color is a pretty bluish-teal. I have a very small waist and this dress was tight on my waist but still zipped. I'd size up for a second size. Can wear a strapless bra or get away with a skin-colored bra.

Summer Shades
THIS dress. Amazing. The colors are so fun, bright and cheery. I got tons of compliments! It does run big so I out a Lilly Pulitzer belt around the waist to slim it down. Without the belt it still looks good, just fits as a true shift without much shape. Would rent again!

Beautiful embroidery
I love the beautiful embroidery and contrasting colors. The fit is a bit unique- fit at the wrists but poofy sleeves. I brought this on vacation and didn't have a camisole so wore it with the string tied at the top. But i would have preferred a nude/white camisole under with the tassels untied. Recommend with white jeans!

Glamorous!!
The gold sequins are dazzling!! I received dozens of compliments and felt beautiful. I had to wear the backup size because my initial size wasn't available last minute, so the pinning situation was a little out of control haha. (Come prepared with at least one pin for the flap on the bust if it's a formal event.) However with the right sized dress I would rent this again and recommend it to others!

Deep V cut
The dress was pretty but the deep V cut was too low for my both my frame and the formality of the event. Ended up wearing a different dress. Perks to the dress are the pretty pink color and high-low length.

Beautiful colors on the dress which was perfect for a rehearsal dinner guest. The cut is flattering with the slimmer waist. Always a plus when you can wear a normal bra too!

Lovely colors
Love the pastel, garden print. The dress runs big in my opinion, particularly around the back. I pinned the back tighter and then had no problems. Hides the tummy. I love the tie around the neck and flow of the dress. Originally rented this for a wedding, however ended up not being able to attend last minute so I wore this out for Sunday errands shopping for garden pots (sorry only full body picture I had!)

This powerful statement necklace was a hit! I wore it with the Halston Heritage Flip Switch dress - paired courtesy of a lovely RTR stylist! The adjustable chain is a few inches long, so depending on your preference you can wear it shorter or longer, like I did.

This was perfect for a night out with the girls! Its waist-defining and curve-embracing! It acts as a blank canvas so paint it with your favorite, bold accessories! This was paired with White Noise necklace through RTR.

Herve Leger does is again
Love the colors and bold pattern! Wore this in Vegas for my birthday party. I normally wear an XS but this was a tight squeeze. I'd rent again because I love the design, but probably go with a small.

Blue and white - looks just right!
Love the detail on this dress! The blue and white is perfect for a summer affair with a pop of color! The fit is a little more flattering than your everyday shift dress and acceptable for wearing regular undergarments. Overall I really LOVED this dress and would rent it again!

The color and waist defining belt are stunning
I wore this for my 30th birthday party and would rent it again. The blue color is perfect and paired nicely with black tights and booties on a cold evening. The belt is waist-defining while adding a pop of sparkle. This dress runs a little small around the hips- order your second dress a size up!

Great color but not the most flattering fit. Rented this for a summer weekend and it could have worked for both an evening out or a Sunday morning church service with a sweater.

Perfect for a summer event
Love the flattering curves of this dress. The cheerful yellow hue is a show-stopper for a summer date, wedding or shower. While I would consider buying this dress because I loved it so much, my only complaint is that the arm opening was too big. I'm not sure if it was tailored this way or stretched out from overuse, but I ended up having to wear a cardigan with it because every bra I tried was showing on the sides. Other than that, I'd highly recommend this dress!
