One of my favorites
This is possibly one of my favorite rentals ever, sadly the zipper was broken on the dress and I wasn't able to wear it :( I tried to wear it out for fight night in Vegas at Bellagio. Would've been perfect! I will rent again for sure. It's extremely sexy, thick quality material, fitted, bodycon. Can't go wrong with this dress especially if you're curvy or hourglass shape. Even if you aren't, I think this dress helps give you that shape. No spanx or bra even needed. Length worked on me even though I'm short. Versatile styling options. Very comfortable. A winner.

Not optimal for petite frames
I got this dress late but tried it on anyway in both XS and S and wouldn't have worn it anyway. The fit was odd and too big and long for a short person. It wasn't flattering on me at all. I prefer the more slim fit body con Herve styles

Nice Vegas Dress
I'm a huge fan of Herve Leger for my body type but sometimes the fit is hit and miss. I'd been eyeing this dress for a while and finally had the chance to wear it out in Vegas. I didn't love it as much as I expected. The XS was too tight to wear a strapless bra with and the S was too big overall, especially the bottom half made my legs look like too tiny. The main issue is probably my bust is 32DDD plus my back and shoulders are broad so I'm probably not proportional but if you have regular boobs it should work. I think that it was pretty and classy and I pulled it off anyway, but wasn't my most flattering or comfy Herve dress I've tried on. The strapless designs can be fickle. It was cute and glad I tried it, but for the price and fit on me I would probably pass on renting it again.

Pretty, flattering dress
Wore this to a derby party (even though it's black) and really liked it! Pros: Sexy, well-made, good material, comfortable Cons: Hard to zip up, long straps, need to use fashion tape on the boob area, detail of the dress doesn't photograph very well Pro/Con: Draws a lot of attention to the décolletage if that's what you're going for. Would I rent again? Possibly but it's not my favorite dress ever for the price

Black Eyelet Sofia Dress

Height: 5' 2"

Runs small in width/circumference, no give in the fabric
This dress would be perfect for a very fit, skinny or long and lean girl. I am too athletic and big in the chest/back/arms for it but I wish I could wear it. I really loved this style and everything about it except that I couldn't zip it up. That being said, I think girls would like this look and cut more than guys because it is sexy but still quite conservative. Would be fine for a work event too. I think it's better in person than the photos. Maybe too long for shorter girls also. It almost went down to my ankles although with the right shoes I could still make it work.

One of my favorite dresses ever
I wore this to a formal September wedding after my original dress wasn't available. I'm really glad I got this one instead! I absolutely loved it and got infinite compliments from male and female guests alike. It's glamorous, fit perfectly, classy and sexy. The Regular is the perfect length for shorter girls (under 5'4"-5'5" I would say). I'm obsessed with this dress and mulling about when I can rent it again. The fabric and cut are very flattering. It's so pretty and such good quality that I think this dress in white could actually be a wedding dress. The only "negative" I can think of is it's not stretchy so be careful about sizing. Also, it is pretty hot so I wouldn't wear this in the summer. Otherwise - go for it!

Nice city jacket
This is a cute, basic leather jacket. It is warmer and heavier than others I've tried. It is slightly forgettable but good for layering in the city or transitioning from day into night. Pretty casual style overall. Shorter/cropped length and arms were the right length on me, being a short person (usually the sleeves are too long). No complaints; it is what it is!

Super comfy but runs big
I really liked this dress and so did my date. It's super stretchy and comfy, but even the XS was quite big on me. I could still wear it, but I wish it came in an XXS for a more form-fitting silhouette. Very forgiving style for any body type though (or if you are eating a lot at dinner - haha). The gold pattern is subdued but cute. Easy to accessorize. Unfortunately no photo but this is a cute, versatile LBD for fall/winter!

Cute & chic
I rented this for NYE but did not end up wearing it because I took a poll amongst guy friends and another dress won out. That being said, I really wanted to wear this somewhere. Summary: Flattering dress, runs small, hard to zip up but once you're in, you're in. I'm petite but have a larger chest size and rib cage so it's harder to zip up but not everyone will have this issue. No bra or spanx needed. Very classic Hervé Leger (if you have rented this brand you know what I mean!). All around good choice for a date or night out.

This dress wows
Sadly, I only have this one pic in this dress and it's not a good one. Unflattering photo but in real life this dress was pretty much everything. My friends and family literally said "wow" when I walked out and my date texted me either the next day or 2 days later to comment again that I looked very nice this night. Overall very good feedback and it was fun to wear for a night out in Vegas. It's a bit shimmery so best for a night out compared to a daytime event. Good for date night, going out, bachelorette etc. Strapless bra is definitely needed. Also possibly help zipping it up but once it's on you're good to go. I would rent it again for sure.

Gorgeous statement piece
I usually wear really simple jewelry but for whatever reason I was drawn to this piece and I'm glad I rented it. I wore it with a strapless pink and gray Hervé Léger dress and was perfect. I found this necklace to be high quality and versatile. I think it could be worn with a variety of styles, even for daytime. It's heavy enough that it doesn't feel like costume jewelry but not too heavy. I definitely enjoyed wearing it and would rent it again.

Nice, simple black dress
My sister (left) wore this to a charity event in Vegas. She said she liked it except that it rides up a bit when walking. Also runs small and material is a bit thin so spanx are useful to keep everything sleek. The right bra is also important. Overall she's not in love with this dress but liked it okay and it served the purpose. Would try again with other E&J styles and cuts.

Classy, sexy, comfy. Loved
I wore this in Vegas for drinks and out at Bellagio. Received many compliments from men and women including from cocktail waitresses who wanted to know where I got it. I would definitely rent it again (or buy it) and also other Hervé Léger dresses. Only complaints would be that the side zipper can ripple a bit and my sister needed to help me zip it up. Both of these things could have been because XXS was the only size available so I had to squeeze in. Also I would go for silicone no show petals or bra and not the fabric ones because they can still show through. I think you could wear a strapless bra depending on the cut of it but probably don't need one. Either way, this was a comfy, classy, unique and flattering dress that would look good on many different shapes and sizes. Better than a regular old LBD!

Usual Size: 0

Wanted to love this dress but didn't
The colors of this dress are really nice but I found this dress ran huge especially the length and width from the waist down (hence why I didn't want any full body photos). Also the top kind of cuts into the underarm area too much. I'm not sure why this particular dress runs so big because I've rented other Hervé Léger dresses that I loved in XXS and XS and they fit like a glove or even needed help zipping or getting into them. They do tend to stretch out once wearing also. Strapless bra is definitely needed or it would be too saggy. It's possible my dress was worn out and stretched out and that a new one wouldn't have these issues? Verdict: would be better for taller women or pear shaped to fill it out more on the bottom. A Kardashian or girl with better curves than me would look great in this dress. If you're straight or super petite it will probably be too loose on the bottom half. If you're short like me it will probably be too long also. I wanted to tape it but pattern would look weird. Hope this helps! Wore for my birthday

Obsessed. Rented this dress twice in 1 month
I absolutely loved his dress. If all E&J dresses are like this I'll rent them more often. Sexy, classy, fit like a glove. I wore this out in Vegas and to dinner, casino, etc and also out in NYC. Dual successes. A real head turner to say the least. This dress is possibly magical haha. I liked the length (not too short) and the slight stretch in the material but it's also thick. No bra or spanx needed but still be mindful of good posture or the tummy area can look defined (aka pooch out). I don't even think you need to wear petals or nu bra with this one. I will say that the inner lining was loose (maybe from being worn many times) but only noticeable to me. Apparently E&J runs super small but I found it to run true to size or maybe one size small but definitely not 2 sizes in my case. This dress was also comfy and I didn't want to take it off. Would consider buying it.

Basic/cute black dress but runs small/short
I wore this to an event in Vegas and then out at XS at night. I have to say that everyone liked it and it was a hit (and I got hit on a lot) but for me personally it was a pretty "okay" forgettable dress. It definitely runs small and short even though it's stretchy and I'm 5'2". I felt it squeezed my sides at the cutouts although I don't think anyone noticed. While this dress served its purpose, I don't think I would rent it again.

Cute dress
I liked this dress but didn't wear it because the zipper was broken so I couldn't zip it up. However it is pretty cute. Runs true to size or maybe a tad bit on the small size. Arm holes are tight.

Strange fit
I didn't end up wearing this. The 0 was too tight around my ribcage yet the part above it was gaping on both the 0 and 2. The bottom half fit okay but I couldn't make the top part work as it was too baggy and wide on the sides. I tried with and without bras and different styles of strapless bras. Needed to be altered. I wouldn't have ever purchased this in a store.

I didn't end up wearing this dress although the fabric felt comfortable. It swallowed me up. Too long and wide.
