Purple knock out
Loved this unique neck line and color combo. The S was a hair in the big side, could have gone XS.

Lovely print but not my favorite rental
The print and cut are both lovely. The dress runs a size large and then there is still room. The waist and hips were still loose in the 0 and I almost always wear a 2. If it was more fitted and shorter I would have liked it better. Granted this style was a departure from my typical style but I felt pretty frumpy. Would not rent again.

Gorgeous cut!!
The color and cut are perfectly flattering! Loved it and got many compliments. Photographs well too. It does run tiny and short. I'm always a 2 and didn't even try it on. Went straight to the 4.

Pretty dress. Fit is off.
Wish I would have heeded other reviews saying this is tough to zip. No hook and eye, and while the body of the dress is a great fit, the top is funky. If you have shoulders and/or boobs, take it from me this dress will not work. Sad because it is beautiful and classy. I have fit 99% of my many RTR rentals, so this truly was an anomaly. I had to go buy an alternative.

Unique and easy to wear!
Not my usual style but that's what I liked about it. Rented the 0 and the 2 and wore the 2 for more room in the bust. Very comfortable and got many compliments.

Perfect Clutch!
Beautiful bright silver with optional silver chain. Excellent size with room for 6 plus phone plus makeup. This could go from dressy to casual. Make sure you push the two buttons inward toward each other to open. I thought it was broken because I was pressing down on them. Would own this easily!

Great price for a great designer!
This is super sophisticated sexy! I loved wearing this. Easy. Herve does all the work for you. I was worried the print would seem a bit much it is way more classy looking in person. The cut is to die for.

Beautiful but so small
My husband said why didn't you wear this? That is to say it's lovely and beautifully made. However it is teensy tiny. I am a consummate size 2 and sometimes I hit a 0 for a very close fit. I would have to go up to a 6 in this I think. Honestly consider sizing up before you rent.

Wore this for a wine auction. Classy and sexy at the same time!
I wore it backwards with the low cut part in front which I thought was more flattering. Easy to dress up with jewelry and nude stilettos. Very comfy and easy to wear!

Lovely red lace!
I rented the XS and S. The XS fit great in the waist and hips but too tight in the chest so I wore the S. As everyone has said, the neck is tight but I think that's necessary for the way it lays on your chest and shoulders. Got tons of compliments. I think anyone would be pleased to rent this. It's showing its popularity a bit along the hem but nothing major. Wore black heels and simple crystal earrings. Let the dress do the talking!

Lady in red!
Dress is gorgeous and makes you feel gorgeous too. Loved the long length. Went with the 38 because it fit all the way through. The 40 was too loose in the hips. Step into the gown don't pull over your head.

Loved this dress. Really classy. Got a lot of compliments for a work dinner and then felt sexy when my husband I went out after for drinks. Would totally own this. Wore with nude heels.

Fun Alternative
This blouse was really fun and felt sexy. I wore a long bralette under so that some lace peeked through the open side. I was very comfortable and felt good in it. Love the color. The material is very thin. Also, I'd use a clutch as a purse with a strap will wrinkle the super thin material.

A beautiful classic!
I'm a sucker for anything navy blue. This dress was beautiful in a classic subtle way while still having a little extra pop with the metallic trim. It is short, but that makes it adorable and sexy while still staying classy. I wore it for a 4th of July block party and would easily rent again for a similar occasion.

Super sophisticated sexy!
Felt great wearing this. I wore a regular bra with it, but beware panty lines. I would own this one. I gave four out five stars just because it isn't 100% my style, but I loved it for being a little different than what I'd usually pick.

Really lovely pattern and material. Great for an outdoor event!
I wore this for an outside bayou, so I wanted casual garden chic...I put the white collared shirt knotted at my bust over to make it a little less dressy and to keep warm. Wore it with red espadrilles and was told I was the best dressed in the group. I'd recommend this in a size smaller than usual.

Elegant and eye-catching. Unique while being somewhat understated at the same time.
For a non-black formal dress, this is it. I paired with nude heels. The design and material were beautiful quality and is truly a designer piece.

Okay for a black quilt.
Like most reviews say, the sizing and fit is unique, especially because there is no stretch. I sort of like the fabric, except it doesn't have the same panel appeal in person; it looks just like a black dress made out of a quilt. I hated it when I pulled it out of the box. After getting it on (definitely need a second person to do the zipping) it ended up okay, and I felt good through the night, which surprised me. The long and short (okay, it's really just really short) I absolutely would NOT rent this again. I think there are a lot of other options out there for a black dress/sophisticated look.

I would absolutely own this dress. It is everything in one: sexy, unique and comfortable!
I attended a charity function that was borderline cocktail affair. This was the perfect dress. I wore a regular bra with it, and while it is short, if you are comfortable with that, rock it; it doesn't ride up, doesn't wrinkle, looks perfect all night long. It would work well with any number of jewelry combos, shoes and hair styles.
