OBSESSED
Loved this dress for "candid" Work photos for our law firm! Ended up keeping it for a bit to wear it again before returning! If I could afford it, I would buy this 100%. Love love love!!!

Fantastic way to upgrade work wardrobe!
Loved wearing this dress to work! It was fun without being inappropriate! Fit is great! It was tough to zip up over the waistband but I followed a previous poster's advice and zipped it up in the front and turned it around before zipping up the rest! Would definitely rent again!

Perfect for a summer luncheon
Loved this dress though I will say it's super low cut and with my large chest it was definitely a bit revealing and I was constantly playing with the ruffles to cover them up hah. If I had not been in a rush I probably would have pinned it and it would have been fine. My chest is larger than normal bc I'm nursing so that doesn't help, but just something to be aware of. Otherwise loveeeee this dress and would totally rent again!

Was PERFECT for my engagement party!
love love LOVE this dress! The fabric was thick so I didn't feel exposed by the white and it was a great thickness for a winter party (although I think this would be comfortable year round). I wore this for my engagement party and it was a huge hit! I was thrilled with my outfit and was so comfortable. I would highly recommend this dress to other renters!!

loved this for my trip to vegas!
Loved this dress!! The fit was amazing up top (it was a little tight in the hips and thighs area but it was ok). I loved that it was modest and I could feel comfortable in it and the fit was very tailored and sexy. The fit and fabric really made this dress for me. My fiance loved it as well and I'm very glad I rented it... I would definitely consider renting again

backup dress and didn't end up wearing but it's still worth sharing!
this was my backup dress for my engagement party but I ended up wearing my first choice... I did love how this hugged and fit and the fabric was thick, which I liked! I ended up going with my first pick, but it was definitely a tough decision! I will probably rent this again for another occasion (p.s. sorry for the insanely messy closet in the pics) :)

Ended up not wearing it
I liked it. It was comfortable, a little large though. My fiance on the other hand hated it (it's just a preference I guess). We were in Vegas so I thought it would be fun but he really thought it was too much and just way over the top Vegas-y and not in a good way. So I ended up not wearing it, but it was comfortable and nice... just a little large in the chest (and I wear 34C) and I would have been worried about them coming out allll night so I'm glad I didn't wear it. Also, was disappointed in the color. Would have liked it way more if it was really gold gold as in the picture but it's definitely rose gold.

Where do I start? This dress is amazing!
I LOVED this dress! I got so many compliments both at my B-day dinner and afterwards in facebook pics/instagram etc. It fit so comfortably and looked so great at the same time. Hugs curves in all the right places! My boyfriend was really into the dress too... he kept complimenting me on it throughout the night, and I felt really pretty and sexy. I also loved that this dress wasn't too slutty (like some herves can be a little too tight/revealing) because my mom came to the dinner as well (see pic). I posted 3 pics so you can see the coloring in different lighting. Probably the most accurate depiction of what it looks like in real life is the picture of me and my friend in the gold dress. Anyway, I lovedddd this dress and really didn't want to take it off. I'm sad I don't own this and would definitely rent this again.

Ibiza Lights Dress
Hervé Léger
Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 8

Bust: 34DD
Ended up not wearing because it was a backup and my first dress was amazing (another Herve)
I ended up not wearing this because it was a backup and the other dress I rented was better for me (Herve Leger Ibiza dress). This dress was a bit snug, not too tight but it just definitely showed everything and I didn't want to feel self-conscious after eating dinner (it was my bday dinner). I definitely felt like Gloria on Modern Family because it was very curve hugging! Overall it's beautiful and I will probably rent this again as my main dress another time!

they did a great job picking out something that would look beautiful with both of the dresses I rented (first choice AND backup) I will definitely do this again!

loved this!
I was reaching out and renting other than herve leger for a party (i tend to obsessively rent herve)...this was an awesome change. I got a lot of complements and it was a very original dress. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun going out dress.

not as great as expected but still pretty
dress fit great and was gorgeous shape, I just felt the color was a little blah. It would look amazing on someone with darker skin but on me I just looked washed out... wouldn't rent again but would in another color

pretty dress but couldn't wear
couldn't wear because it was too tight. it fit but I knew I was gonna be having a nice meal (we were going to a brazilian steakhouse) and I just didn't feel like being self-conscious. it was tight and sexy though and now that I've lost weight I would probably rent again to try again. The annoying thing was that the top part of the sweetheart would fold over and you could see the elastic, don't know if it was bc it was too small or because it wasn't made properly...would probably rent again though now that I think it would fit :)

loved these!
rented this as the surprise accessory and was SO pleasantly surprised! I ended up returning them bc the dresses didn't fit and I didn't realize that you can return the earrings at a later date than the dresses if the dresses don't fit because you don't get a refund...live and learn. I will probably always do the $15 surprise accessory because I have twice been very happy with their choices and you can get more expensive things for cheaper by being surprised :)

unable to wear :(
I wasn't able to wear this dress because it was too small. Idk if it was too small or if I was just too big :( I have since lost about 12 lbs though so I will probably rent this again now that I can wear it lol... the fabric is beautiful and overall I loved the dress, just disappointed I couldn't wear it. Also, this looks best on someone with a nice tan or olive complexion etc. because it could easily wash out someone who was pale. will rent this again now that I can wear!

OMG obsessed with this dress...it was gorgeous. The color is a bit more pink (which I loved because it didn't wash me out). I wore it to my boyfriend's law school graduation and it was weather and graduation appropriate. Got great compliments! will post a photo on RTR's facebook page! thanks RTR

This dress is gorgeous...the color is fantastic. Unfortunately, my dress was delivered without the bow-belt that is shown with it, and it is definitely supposed to come with it. I emailed them immediately and RTR gave me a 25% discount because of the inconvenience. I had also rented another dress (the cotton candy one) and so I was able to use that tie to cinch it, because otherwise it would have just hung and would have been very unflattering. It turned out great and I got a bunch of compliments. Wore it to a graduation lunch for my boyfriend with his family (so it is both daytime and family appropriate). Will post a picture on RTR's fbook page! thanks RTR for remedying my issue!

tons of stares and compliments...fit fantastically well...didn't need spanx!
This dress was super flattering. I preferred the Off-the-Shoulder Ombre Herve but this one was a close second! I wore it out to a nice dinner with my parents and got a lot of stares/compliments! It was my first rental so I was thrilled with it!

I have never received so many compliments on one dress in my entire life!!! Absolutely loved it!
where do I begin?!?! this dress was A-MAZING! It quickly went from my "backup" to the main event...I ended up wearing the berry ombre as my "backup" to dinner with my parents because it was cute but not WOW like this dress...I have never gotten so many compliments in my life, and a couple people even recognized that it was Herve Leger...I wore it for my 25th birthday party and felt like the sexiest woman in the room. It was too tight at first but it stretches out and was actually quite comfortable...it hugs you tight so be prepared to be looked at by pretty much everyone!! LOVE THIS DRESS and officially LOVE RTR!!!! (This was my first time renting and I have never felt more sexy/beautiful in my life!) THANK YOU RTR!!!
