Gorgeous and surprising!
I went last minute to the brick & mortar store in Vegas for a black tie dinner. I never wear this color blue, but it was one of the only gowns on the showroom floor that was my size and appealed to me with its cut. This dress fit like a dream...the only hangup was that it was only available in L (and I am not that tall). I vowed to wear tall heels, but I still tripped a couple times (and escalators = dangerous). However, the color was amazing, the fit was awesome and the compliments were coming all night. I left like Sofia Vergara :) Paired it with Lele Sadoughi Crystal Sundial Necklace and it looked great!

Va va voom.
This dress is a gorgeous color and does wonders for hourglass figures. I was pretty self conscious due to a small weight gain after knee surgery, but it hugged me nicely and didn't accentuate any flab. I *literally* never thought I could fit my body into a Herve dress...so glad I tried. Only con, a little tight on the arms.

Beautiful and classic.
Wore it for a black tie wedding in Central Park. Fit beautifully and I would rent again for similar occasions. It was also easy to move in and comfortable.

Stand out dress, if mostly for the color.
Pros: beautiful color, photographs well, easy to wear, gets lots of compliments! Cons: totally sheer and could see spanx through it and any drop of sweat you may have, a little on the long side even with heels, top was billowy.

Super elegant, super comfy and fits just right.
The length was great. I didn't feel like a stuffed sausage. The only thing is if you do happen to get it wet, even with condensation from your glass, it dries a little oddly. But overall, SUCH a beautiful and easy dress. Plenty of compliments. Oh and the back is open so no traditional bras.

This dress was absolutely beautiful and easy to wear. Got plenty of compliments. Little short though
The dress was stunning and definitely hugs your curves in all the right places. It was a little short though, so I recommend long for anyone 5'6" or taller or planning on wearing high heels.

I loved this dress and I got plenty of compliments. It is pretty darn snug though.
Length was great. I am 5'6" and it came to right above my knees. Definitely a better dress for hourglass figures -- really snug in the waist (which is good for showing off curves). Also, if you are busty it may be tight, so you might want to try going braless.
