Unique, fun and comfortable.
I rented this for everyday use. It is so flattering on and I received a ton of compliments. My husband loved it. I will probably end up purchasing this item.

Runs small.
I ended up not wearing this. I am a true size 4 with a small bust and could not even get this zipped up. It wasn't worth exchanging for a larger size. It's cute, but the fit is sort of strange it is difficult to maneuver. No eye hook at the top of the zipper so I fear it would unzip easily. The cut is a good idea in theory but not well executed.

One of my favorite RTR dresses!
I absolutely LOVED this dress. It is absolutely stunning in person and I received so many compliments while wearing it. The sequin detail is beautiful and intricate. The dress is actually two pieces: a slip underneath that is attached and a sheer sequin overlay. It is just beautiful and fit perfectly.

Great fitting dress.
This is a pretty standard Herve Leger dress, but with nice scallop details that make it just a bit different. The back zips all the way up and down, which is nice. Since the dress goes all the way down to the knees, the bottom zipper allows you to "customize" the dress and choose the length of the slit you would like in the back, making it easier to walk. It is also a beautiful navy blue color, which the photo doesn't really depict all that well. It fits great like all Herve's. I typically wear either an XS or a S and in this dress I wore the small. Only cons: The top portion is really low, so the top of my bra kept peeking out. Also, the back of the dress does not have an eye hook, so I kept feeling like the zipper was going to come down. Thankfully it never did.

Beautiful bag but the straps are not practical.
I really wanted to love this bag. And I do love the look of it, but the straps are just not all that practical. If you need to get in and out of the bag often, you are forced to either leave the straps hanging or constantly thread them through the loops, which is sort of a hassle. Otherwise, it is stunning and I really have no complaints. It works great as a book bag or a laptop bag (which is what I used it for). While the leather is not super luxe, it does look nice and does not in any way look cheap. I think the straps are a nice addition to the bag and make it more unique, but because of them I probably would not purchase it.

Stylish sunglasses but way too large
I absolutely loved these Balenciaga sunglasses but was unable to wear them because they were too large and fell off my face. I even took them to a sunglass store to have the screws tightened and try to get the plastic frame not to be so "stretched out" and nothing helped. It really just seemed like someone with a much larger face than me rented them and stretched them out. This is actually the second time I have rented sunglasses through the Unlimited program and had them show up so stretched out that they would not stay on my face. And I'm pretty sure I have an average-sized face...

Beautiful bracelet but a bit bulky
I rented this for everyday use as a part of the Unlimited program. It is a beautiful bracelet, however I found it to be a bit bulky for everyday wear. Would be nice to wear for a more formal occasion actually, like a summer wedding. I tried wearing it to work and it looked really nice but was just so big that I couldn't actually type without the bracelet bothering my wrist.

Unflattering
I found this dress to be very unflattering. Even though it is a black dress made out of what looks like a neoprene-type material, it accentuated all the wrong parts of my body and was very unforgiving. Plus, it was very difficult to get into, as it is long and not very stretchy and you have to put it over your head. It only zips down a few inches. It is also a strange length (it came down to my mid-calf) and made walking a bit difficult since your stride is constricted by the dress. Also, while the cutouts look more prominent on the model, they did not seem to stand out when I wore it. You could barely tell there were cutouts. I would not rent this dress again.

Great for women with curves.
I rented this dress for a formal gala. I did not end up wearing it, but it is a beautiful dress. I chose not to wear it because I felt that it was not flattering for my body type. I do not have much of a natural waist and my body type is relatively straight up and down. I think this dress would look fantastic on someone with curves. The dress is really beautiful though and has nice detailing at the bottom.

VERY difficult to get into.
I did not love this dress. I rented this dress through the Unlimited program and wanted to wear it to a charity event that I had planned. Not only was the dress incredibly difficult to get into, but the cut and fit were very strange. I typically wear either a 2 or a 4 and the 4 was almost too small. The pleating on the bust area was also way too high. Also, it is sort of "backless" because a part of the back is covered by see-through lace. I thought this would be a nice feature but the length of it is odd, as it does not go down far enough. I would not rent this dress again. Did not even wear it.

Compliments galore!
I rented these sunglasses as a part of the Unlimited program. I have worn them twice now and each time have gotten so many compliments--including from random strangers! They are super unique and definitely a stand-out piece. My only complaint is that they are really big. I have a pretty average size face and they are so big that they completely fall off if I look down. I don't know if they are just made that way or if they are stretched out and need an adjustment, but the size is definitely an issue. I would probably purchase them but for the fact that they just don't fit.

Really cool ring but didn't fit.
I rented this without thinking even for a moment that it wouldn't fit me. I have pretty standard size hands for a woman and it didn't fit any of my fingers. It's way too big for my ring finger and pinky finger but way to small for my pointer and index fingers. I'm not sure what size it is, but it just happened not to fit any of mine. Would be a great ring but for the fit issues.

Nice bag but not what I expected
I rented this as a part of the unlimited plan. The photos of the bag make it look more silver, so I thought it was a silver handbag. It is actually white with black spots and black hardware. I liked it, but probably not enough to buy it. It's interesting and definitely unique, just not my favorite.

I absolutely loved this necklace. It is oversize and quite large, but not so much that it is gaudy. I have since purchased a similar Kate Spade necklace because I loved this one so much.

Unique and different, great party dress!
This is a great dress. The pattern on the dress makes it unique and adds a little more flavor than the typical solid Herve dresses. My only qualm is that it is VERY short. I like short dresses but I found myself wanting to pull it down every five seconds. Otherwise, it was super fun to wear and definitely a show stopper.

Perfectly fitting and just the right amount of sparkle!
This dress is by far one of my favorite Herves that I have worn. It fits amazingly, holds everything in well, and is just a stunning dress all around. I received so many compliments on this dress and absolutely felt like a queen when I wore it. The gold shimmer in the dress is subtle enough to not be tacky but sparkly enough to add some flair. I would definitely consider buying this dress.

Someone thought it was a David Yurman necklace. The necklace just looks expensive.
Beautiful necklace. Very large, but that was what I was going for. I particularly loved the gold "stones" which had a swirl affect and shimmer to them (they are not real stones though). Definitely a statement piece. I wore it day to night: I used it to dress up what would have been a boring business casual look and then wore it with an Herve at night for dinner and drinks.

I was getting compliments everywhere I went!
Overall, the dress looks great. It fits well, hugs in all the right places, and is just a stunning dress. The lace-up detail on the side adds a bit of sexiness, but the length is long enough to where it is still classy. My only complaint would be the fact that there is a bit of a gap between where the lace-up ends and the slit, which creates a strange gap. Very minor issue though and I am just being very picky. I loved the dress and would definitely wear it again.

I received SO MANY compliments on each of the dresses and accessories that I rented.
I found the Summer Style Pass to be a great opportunity and an amazing deal. I knew that I had several events that I would be attending over the summer and since I knew I would rent at least two, I decided to do it. The Style Pass allowed me to both rent dresses that I couldn't usually afford AND rent an accessory with it--something I hadn't done before. Since renting three accessories now, I will definitely keep renting them. The jewelery is just as important as the dress and sometimes I even received more compliments on the jewelery than on the dresses. I will definitely do the Summer Style Pass again if given the opportunity!
I was proposed to by a random stranger immediately upon walking in to the casino.
This dress is incredible. Most importantly, it makes you FEEL incredible. I received compliments everywhere I went, even from random strangers. The dress fit perfectly and just seems to hug your body in all the right places, hiding the not-so-nice places. I am definitely buying this dress. I wore this dress in Vegas and it was absolutely perfect for Vegas. However, I will note that it is probably not appropriate for a wedding or something more conservative, as it is cut very low and it is very, VERY short. But if you are looking for attention this is definitely the dress to wear.

People were blown away to hear that the dress was rented and had to know more. So many compliments!
I wore the Hervé Léger Coral Coconut Rum Sheath dress with the Kenneth Jay Lane Polished Gold Shadow Bib necklace for my engagement party. They were both amazing. This is my third Hervé that I have rented and I absolutely love them! I will definitely be purchasing an Hervé sometime soon. I wore the Small. Fits pretty true to size. The back does not go as low as I had thought from the model photos. I wore it with a completely backless bra, but it probably could be worn with a convertible bra that has a strap that wraps around the low back.

It hugs all the right places!
I rented this dress as a backup dress for an event I was going to. I did not actually end up wearing the dress, but tried it on several times to decide which I wanted to wear. The dress fit perfectly, hugging all the right places and hiding/camouflaging the parts I wanted to keep hidden. In the end I chose to wear a different Hervé, but this one was just as beautiful.

Gorgeous, But They're Clip-on!
I rented these not knowing they were clip-ons. My fault probably for not reading the item description carefully. They are very heavy too, so as clip-ons I was afraid I was going to lose them. However, they are still absolutely gorgeous. Would even rent them again. If they weren't clip-on, I would easily give five stars.

I received SO many compliments on this necklace!
I wore this Kenneth Jay Lane Polished Gold Shadow Bib necklace with an Hervé Léger Coral Coconut Rum Sheath dress for my engagement party. They were both amazing. The necklace is definitely big and bulky, but it was exactly what I had intended. The necklace is definitely a statement piece--it is stunning when it catches the light. It is gold in color (even the "stones") but reflects a variety of colors when it hits the light. I would definitely buy this necklace. I absolutely loved it.

Great dress and hides all the areas I was self-conscious about.
This dress appears black but turns to an emerald green in the light. Inside it looks almost completely black with just a hint of green. Once you go outside in the sunlight, it is almost completely green. Not an issue, as it makes this dress even more stunning, but something you should probably know and be able to plan for (i.e., you probably shouldn't plan to wear hot pink shoes). I wore this dress in Vegas and the sparkle was perfect. I received so many compliments. I absolutely loved this dress and would probably buy it if given the opportunity. It is classy, yet fun and looks great on. An important thing to note is that I am generally a small-medium in dresses and the small was waaay too big. I was able to wear it, but had to tape it in places because it was just too large. Didn't get the back up size because it was my second rented dress, but definitely go a size smaller than usual in your backup size. I tried to choose a photo that showed the green color but it just didn't show up in the photos as much as in person.

Beautiful Dress, Odd Zipper.
Overall, this dress was great. It is very flattering on and definitely has a bit of a slimming effect. I got tons of compliments on the color and the shape. My one qualm is the zipper, which definitely stands out and sort of seems like it doesn't belong there. I did have several people say that they liked the zipper detail though, so I guess it is just personal taste. Beautiful dress. I should note, however, that although I think the dress does run true to size, it was pretty tight. If you want it to fit like a glove, then order your true size... but if you want a more comfortable fit, I would advise going up one size. I did not get two sizes because my "size up" was not available, but I would definitely recommend getting your true size and then opting for the second dress in one size bigger.
