Sexy! but not over the top
Form fitting, beautiful/standout color, and very flattering (especially for someone with a a tan complexion). I paired it with nude heeled sandals. Seriously, can't ever go wrong with Hervé.

Classy!
I ordered the 4 and unfortunately, it wasn't available. I was able to try on the size 6, and although it was way too big, I could tell that it is a really really pretty and classy dress. I paired it with the Badgley Mischka falling leaf earrings and it made it even more special.

Perfect mix of classy & sexy!
I was skeptical to wear this to a wedding, but I'm so glad that I decided to wear it. It's such a gorgeous dress, the color was absolutely perfect for a late summer wedding. Like a true Hervé Léger dress, it is very form fitting, yet still comfortable. I didn't feel the need to wear Spanx, and I wore a low-cut strapless bra. The only con (and this is only for the M size) is that the top was a bit loose in the breasts area. It wasn't a big deal though, nothing that was too noticeable to others. I will definitely rent this dress again for a night out.

Perfect gold earrings!
A RTR stylist picked these out for me to go with the Hervé Léger Amber Glow Dress that I rented. At first I was skeptical because I didn't want typical hoop earrings, but she assured me that they would look great. She was right! I loved them. Their shape makes them really different and they sparkle just enough. They were light, but felt heavier after a long night of dancing. I loved these!

Statement piece!
These earrings are absolutely beautiful. They are super lightweight and will stand out with any outfit. I loved them so much that I wanted to keep them. I guess I will settle by renting them again next month :)

very couture, but not for me. I went for something more figure-flattering.
This dress was my first choice for a black tie wedding, but unfortunately, I did not wear it. My size 4R was not available, and I got a 6 hoping it would fit. The 6 was too big, too loose, and the material of the dress is very, very heavy. It would have been too hot for a July wedding in DC. Not to mention it was SO long...I would've tripped for sure. I do have to say though, that the dress looked very couture and had my size been available, this could have been it. If you have similar body type, I would go with a 4.

Having my boyfriend (and friends) tell me how gorgeous I looked. over, and over again.
I wore this absolutely beautiful red dress to a black tie wedding, and I felt SO glamorous. I was a bit worried because I thought my hips were going to just bulge out, but it was flattering in all the right places. I am normally a size 4, but the 2L was THE perfect size. The length was just right; the heels I wore wore probably 3 inches, and it was just a tad bit off the ground. I didn't have to pick it up at all. Also, I couldn't stop swooshing the dress left and right the entire night because the way the material moved at the bottom was so pretty. Luckily, I didn't need to wear spanx, though the material is very thin and could be pretty unforgiving. I wore a strapless, deep plunging bra, and gold accessories and gold shoes.
