I rented these for my bridesmaid gowns. The group looked GORGEOUS! Many guests were stunned by the overall appearance of the bridal party. I placed a preliminary order to have the girls come over and try on the 2 dresses for sizing. Thank god we did that because we learned that Regs were just too short if they were going to be wearing 3+" heels. (Except for my sister who is 4'11", she ended up wearing a regular.) I placed the entire dress order months in advance. During the week of my wedding, I received emails saying that some of the dresses had been returned in non-wearable condition. I was freaking out!! I called to see how this could be rectified. The RTR reps I spoke to were on top of it. In fact they even sent me a couple of extra dresses on top of my original order just to cover all the bases. In the end, some of the girls wore blush, while others wore gold. The difference is hardly noticeable, especially in pictures. There was definitely a little more headache involved in renting bridesmaid dresses than there probably would have been in buying all of them, but the quality (and the pricepoint!) of the dresses is soooo much better. If you are not a risk-taker, then renting bridesmaid dresses is probably not the route for you, but if you can handle a little game of roulette, then I say GO FOR IT!

Florida wedding-worthy!
I wore this for a Valentine's Day weekend wedding. I would recommend bralet stickers as the top portion can be rather tight for anyone B cup or larger. A good tip that I tried is to use bathing suit top inserts underneath the dress to prevent nippleage after a cool breeze. You can't go wrong with an Herve Leger for a special event; they're just the perfect combo of class with a touch of sexy.

Officially one of my RTR faves!
I'm 5'5" and I had to pull it down a few times throughout the night. Any shorter and I think I would have needed to go with a 2. They didn't have the extra size (2) in stock so I had to wear the 0 anyway! My shoulders are just a tad bit broader than average and so the dress was a little tight in that region for me due to the shoulder pads. I went with black shoes and gold accessories but nude heels will work too. I think this dress is intended to be a classy minidress, so if you're on the conservative side, you might want to go a size up from your usual dress size. The color is ridiculous!!

MORE FUN than a day at the amusement park.
I wore this dress for a rehearsal dinner party. It certainly isn't overly tight, or short for that matter, but it was shocking to see how many of my guy friends LOVED the dress. Maybe it's because of the eye-catching pattern and neon color. The fabric was nice and thick too. For the price, this is a MUST-RENT! Wish I had more pictures to show you guys!

This necklace + LBD = PERFECTION
I got so many compliments on this necklace. Be aware that the metal's colors is more of a bronze than a gold. Talk about a statement piece!

A beautiful dress, but not my first choice.
I was sent this dress as a backup since the backup size for my original dress was deemed unwearable. This dress is nice and it has a train-like back, but it just wasn't for me. I was going to a back tie wedding and it was too revealing in the front for my taste. I prefer dresses that show off more of a silhouette and less of the decolletage. I'm not a big fan of the high-low for this particular dress and I kind of felt like I was in a night gown. Also the arm holes were small in that I could feel a lot of pressure in my armpit. (I hope that makes sense?!) But that's just my opinion and I'm putting it out there for you other RTR-ers to see as you are doing some recon!

Stupendous service... RTR is my go-to for any occasion!
I'm 33-25-34, and the dress was not as form fitting in the waist and hip/bum area as shown on the model. Nor was the slit as high. Still, the 38R length was perfect with a 3.5 inch heel (no platform). RTR informed me the night before that my second size, 38L was returned unwearable, so they threw in a $400 rental of their choice since time was of the essence. I did not end up wearing that dress because the 38R was a better fit anyhow. I went on a limb and decided I would spruce things up with the RJ Graziano Pirate Treasure necklace and it turned out to be an exquisite combination. I would 100% recommend this dress for any black-tie event!

I love RTR, and I LOVE getting discounts for submitting reviews and surveys!
This dress is on the shorter side... a couple inches shorter and I probably would have deemed it inappropriate for a wedding. I did, however, receive a ton of compliments on it! One of my friend's fathers even approached me to let me know that he loved my earrings, also from RTR. I would agree with the other reviews in saying that the fabric is nice and thick. All in all, a fantastic LBD!

RTR customer service is amazing and the dresses are ALWAYS on time!
I loved the cut and look of this dress. It hugs in all the right places. The fabric is of excellent quality; however, it is reminiscent of a warm, cable sweater. This dress is probably better for an indoor fall or winter affair. I think I might rent it again a little later in the year.

The first dress didn't fit and they overnighted a new one on the same day!
...one of the few reasons I get to prance around in an Herve Leger dress! This one seems to run a bit smaller and I could hardly breathe but it was well worth it, especially since it was at no cost to me since I had received a free rental. The coloring would complement any skin tone. I think that this dress looks more fierce on hourglass shapes because it really showcases your curvature.

Definitely fit the bill!
I wore this for a nice summer wedding. Very appropriate for the occasion. It's not my favorite rental, but I got a ton of compliments on it anyway! The dress was a bit looser around the hips on me (and you can even notice that on the model). It's made of very nice material and has flecks of gold throughout. It looks great paired with a bold choker. I cinched the waist with a thin gold belt. The only problem was that my boyfriend didn't like the fact that it wasn't skin-tight... MEN.

I just loved how this dress was always so snug, never stretched out.
The description given for this dress was pretty accurate, I would say. I wore it in Vegas for a girlfriend's birthday. The color is super gorge- the picture tht RTR has does not do it justice! I would have picked a more summery color to have worn, but there weren't any available when I was searching, so make sure you plan ahead! Needless to say, I was still pleased with this choice.

I really wasn't expecting this dress to flatter my body as much as it did, but I was delightfully surprised!
Can I just say... for the price of this rental, WOW. This dress = style + class meets sexy. You really don't see as much leg when you are wearing it dress, unless your stance is like the one pictured on the RTR model or if your legs are crossed. The length is great and I would really recommended it if you have a thin frame. Also, since it's plain black, you can add a pop of color through your shoes and accessories. I am 5'5" and 105-107 lbs., and this dress was able to allude to my assets without showing too much skin!

Let's just say this is hands-down the quintessential Vegas dress.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this dress. I wish I owned it... it made seem like it doesn't fit like the other Leger dresses, but wow does it stand out. It's not as tight around the waist as you would hope, but the way it enhances your chestal region is amazing. I think it has to do with the location of the straps. In pictures (especially with a flash), the glitter shines through. It is a mini dress and if you are 5'5" like me or taller, this dress will really give your legs some limelight! True to size and under-rated!

The fact that it was the first time I've worn and Herve Leger dress!
At first this dress seemed a little too small at the top, but after some jumping and wiggling around in it, it began to fit a lot better. I can't even begin to tell you how many times I was complimented. I had so many old ladies approach me to ask where I got the dress and who it was. I felt like a million bucks and was so sad when I had to return it :(
