Almost perfect!!
Gorgeous dress. Fit true to size, and the sleeves hit in a great location, not restrictive for arm movement or anything!! Dress is a little bit heavy but all sparkle gowns are. Ultimately I chose another dress over this one, only because the other one showed my curves more!! This one is sort of fit and flare but doesn't hug the butt area beyond the middle, so if you're really looking for curves to pop, this might not be the right choice. However, it's elegant and classy. The neckline is perfect, didn't need a bra with this (32DD). Sequin dresses always make the waistline area look a little thicker than a more simple fabric, and I wanted the cinched in look so I chose another dress. That was just me being overly picky however. It's an absolute stunner overall!

1000 COMPLIMENTS!! (really)
Ok, everyone always says they received so many compliments - but really... probably like 30+ compliments from strangers ALL night long! Wore this to a New Year's Eve black tie event, and I have to say this is hands down my favorite rental. Nicole Miller always fits like a dream, and this was no exception. No spanx needed; the dress holds everything in! I'm a 32DD and didn't even need a bra. There's no built in bra, per se, but it hugs everything just right so there were no wardrobe malfunctions!! Only downside was the length, and that's my fault not the dress's! I would tape up the hem next time I rented this one. Had Louboutin so Kate heels on, so almost 6" heels, and this was still long!! The navy is a beautiful color as well... overall amazing find!!

Pure elegance, with some bling!
Beautiful. Weren't too heavy or too blingy, but they were very classy. Photo is not the best but shows the proportion. They were lovely and I wish I could buy them! RTR if you ever plan on selling these, let me know first!!

Unfortunately too long for me!
I really wanted to wear this one. My daughter had a similar dress (she's 2) and we were supposed to match... I'm just 5'2" with a short torso (I think that's the main problem) and it was TOO much fabric. It literally swallowed up my frame. However I think if I didn't have curves maybe the tulle would have sat better, but who knows. Not good for "well endowed" chests and Short torsos. Fit was true to size though - 0 fit. 2 was way too big.

Perfect for work transition conference to cocktails!
Wore for a conference I had to speak at. Didn't have time to change between conference and cocktail hour, and this dress transitioned perfectly! The floral pattern is great for spring or summer, and the illusion fabric really gives this dress a sexy, unique feel. I got lots of compliments on this one!

Sparkly statement necklace - perfect with a black dress!
It's gorgeous. Stays in place, sparkles, and went well with the neckline of the dress I wore. It's not too flashy, but keep the outfit simple so it really pops!

Classy, sexy black dress!
Fits great, I usually wear a 0 or 2 and this one was perfect in the 0. I am short waisted so the 2 has a bit too much fabric in the stomach area for me. Not much of a difference in length between the two sizes though. Keeps its shape all night. Absolutely beautiful with a red lip and statement necklace!!

Perfect flowy spring time top. Absolutely in love with this.
It's gorgeous. Requires a cami under it or something as it is sheer. Wore it out in NYC during a spring trip, with a pink cami under it, and match my lipstick to the pink. Was perfect with white jeans. Would wear again, rent again, and probably even buy it! Its flowy also, so if you go out for a big dinner, you don't have to worry.

Perfect for work conference
Wore this one at a conference with a theory blazer (black, not on RTR, something I own), and it was absolutely perfect! Got tons of compliments, including from my fiance who never compliments work type clothing! Just know that the gold/tan color is in fact shiny GOLD. There isn't so much of it that it's "sparkly," but it's definitely gold. That's fine, it's subtle enough, but I thought it was tan from the pictures on here and matched it with black/tan nine west shoes - when it was in fact gold, the shoes still luckily matched but that could have gone both ways. Overall the fit is perfect though - fit's like a Nicole Miller if you've ever worn her other items.

LOVE this!! Rented for a work conference in San Diego - got tons of compliments. It's gorgeous quality fabric, and it fits wonderfully. Not too tight, just right. Not baggy like some sheaths either. Beautiful. Will be renting again!

Perfect for formal work events!!
This dress is gorgeous quality. The fabric just feels luxurious. It's classy, yet fitted. It fits true to size, but I wore it to a luncheon and after I had eaten it felt tight in the middle - there is a band there, so it starts to cut off if you're full or bloated or anything like that. The rest of the dress is relaxed in the front though, so no "pooch" shows even if you do have a large meal! It's very sophisticated ... I receive at least 2 compliments every time I wear this dress. It has been worn to a formal work event as well as a day in the office. It can be dressed up with a blazer, and it's really fun to accentuate with a bright necklace!

I adore this dress. I have it as part of unlimited, and I really truly don't want to return it!
Beautiful neckline. I have larger bust area, and a good strapless pushup really made all the difference with this one. Wore it during a weekend getaway with my fiance. He couldnt stop raving about it, and he would point out how all the heads turned every place we walked into... it's not too flashy, with the silver, but it is definitely more formal and blends best at upscale lounges/restaurants. The fit is lovely. Very flattering. I had a baby 15 months ago and it showed no sign of the little belly I still have left! The length is a little longer on me at 5'2", but that kind of balances out the lower sweetheart neckline for an ultimate sexy yet sophisticated look!

Curve hugging Herve!
Love the fit in this dress - my only reason for not giving it 5 stars as other people have mentioned is that the top creeps down down down, if you're not paying attention it could be a wardrobe malfunction!! I also have a short torso, and for my body this one was a little off compared to other Herve's. There is a fit to these dresses meant to suck you in without spanx - it does that, but if you're too short your lower abdomen area kind of misses the area of extra squeeze meant for that "pouch", if that makes sense. If I didn't hold my stomach in all night, I would have had an accentuated "belly"... fortunately we were just getting drinks, but don't get this for a dinner unless you have washboard abs!!

Work for blacktie wedding. Compliments all night!
I felt truly glamorous in this. Wore the 2, as I just had a baby and the bust area is larger than normal on me at the moment. Bust was NOT fitting into the 0, although the 0 fit best elsewhere. 0 would have been short though... And I had 4 inch heels for the evening so the 2 was better for length and bust area. Wore spanx, although the fabric does suck in a little bit. Would rent again. It's simple but the lace is elegant. Felt beautiful but not flashy. Was perfect for blacktie wedding.

Gorgeous and very sparkly. Went well with blacktie gown, and also went well with jeans and a peplum too. Versatile piece, came in good condition. Liked that the bracelet was my size and not too big. I have a small wrist and this was perfect... Usually bracelets slide off of me

Classy black dress with a twist
Gorgeous dress. The back is beautiful. Wore to a rehearsal dinner and felt beautiful. It's a little black dress but the lace makes it sexy. Worn with Kurt Geiger heels, felt sexy just two months after having a baby. Needed spanx due to just having a baby, but the fabric does hold you in a little bit. Would rent again, but probably not until stomach is a little flatter. Runs true to size... Actually felt the back lace was a tad stretched. Didn't try on the S as the XS fit perfectly. Wore normal black strapless bra with this. Band may have shown in the back due to lace being a little stretched, but hair was down so didn't notice.

Gorgeous, classy, just enough room
Beautiful accent to a blacktie outfit. Perfect size, fit phone, room key, passport, and lipstick/liner/primer without an issue. Magnetic clasp is a little worn I believe as it didn't stick well all of the time. Otherwise, perfect accent and will be renting again!

Felt sexy just two months after having a baby!!
Fits small ... Normally I'm a 0 (pre baby) and now am a 2, 8 weeks postpartum. This dress made me feel awesome, cut outs were placed perfectly. I suspect when I lose the rest of baby weight I'll be down to a 2. Doubt the 0 would ever fit though, so saying this runs small. Didn't wear a bra. Fabric is tight and thick enough that it holds you in without needing one. Wore to an after party at a wedding. Rose gold accessories. Downside was couldn't wear spanx because of the cutouts... But the 4 fit so well I didn't really need to. Definitely renting again for upcoming Vegas trip!

Beautiful dress but didn't work for me
The fit was weird. I thought there was just too much fabric for me, and I got the XS! It was also way longer than in the picture but I AM short so maybe that's why? Really wanted this to work but ended up going with something different.

Sexy dress
Gorgeous. Wore this out in Miami with my fiancé. Non stop compliments. I'm large chested and didn't need a bra - material at the top is thick. Will rent again! It's fitted through midsection, so not the best if you're having a huge meal...

Too much fabric up top for me. I have a large bust size and it still was too much fabric all over, not just regarding the cleavage area. It is a beautiful fabric however and I wish it had fit.

Elegance.. with sparkle!
So beautiful. The sparkles were just the added touch to help keep this formal dress classy yet fun! The waist cinching is excellent and helps accentuate a toned figure. Low cut but the sleeves make up for it since they aren't thin, they cover a lot of the cleavage area. Beautiful and I would rent again.

When I first ordered these, the pair I received was broken. Called RTR, and they sent me another ASAP. They were beautiful for my black tie affair, elegant and sparkly but not in a fake way. Gorgeous and fun at the same time

Standing out in color in the middle of a drab winter!
It fit amazingly!! I ordered XS and S to be on the safe side. Wore it for a date night to a really nice steakhouse, top 10 in the country... I found the S was too much fabric for me, although interestingly the bust area was stretched out MORE on the XS, but I just dealt with it and pulled it up occasionally throughout the night. It was gorgeous and totally glamorous for the middle of a cold winter night where everyone else was wearing black and gray. Accented with diamonds and silver shoes and POP it was a hit. I will be renting this dress again!! Also, no bra needed.
