Drop dead gorgeous gown
This dress is so fantastic I would love to buy it. I normally wear a size 6 US and the size 8 US fit well. Although the top looks insecure, it actually didn't move at all throughout the night. The material is a good weight and doesn't show much. The dress overall is absolutely gorgeous and the cutouts are at very flattering positions that have a slimming effect. I definitely recommend

Bright colors and a flattering fit
I rented this dress for my brother's graduation and it was the perfect look. The colors were perfect for the event and the fit (which I always tend to wear) was very flattering it. Although it was a tad bit on the short side (I'm 5'4''), it wasn't so short that I was uncomfortable wearing it. The material is a nice and sturdy but not too thick and you can wear a regular bra with it. Overall, perfect for the event and I would definitely recommend

Classic, elegant dress
This dress was a back up for the event I was going to and I didn't end up wearing it because it wasn't the fashion direction I wanted to go in. However, it is a very nice, classically elegant dress. It has simple elegance and a shape that would look flattering on almost anyone. The zipper is a bit hard to get up because of the dress material but other than that it was a great dress. With 4 inch heels (I'm 5'4''), the dress barely brushed the ground.

Incredibly Interesting Dress
To start off with, this dress is so unique and modern. While I didn't end up wearing it to my event because it was just a back up dress, I did really like it. The shorter dress with the tulle longer skirt is so different and it really combines the look of a formal gown with a short dress very well. The material is stretchy and so the top was slightly loose on me. The skirt is very stiff and so it will stick out a bit. I also recommend pinning the button for the skirt closed as it tends to pop open easily. Overall, great dress just not what I was looking for

Absolutely amazing dress! Favorite rental from the past 3 years
I could not say enough wonderful things about this dress. To start off, I have a slightly short torso so we had to do some alteration with the dress but the straps are easy enough to pin and the way the back is cut makes it easy to have little nips and tucks. Once the alterations were done, the dress was absolutely gorgeous. The material is nice and thick but not too heavy and is very flattering. The scalloped hem and cut out back provide the dress with a very unique style but it is an exceptionally classy dress. The plain front paired with the open back is a wonderful combination. For me, the slit up the scalloped hem hit at about my knee and with 4 inch heels (I'm 5'4"), the longer edge of the hem was just touching the floor. As for sizing, Osman is tricky. I tried on a 10R in another dress from Osman and couldn't even get it zipped up but with this dress, I might have been able to squeeze into a 10R just because the zipper is right on the lower back and then the top strap has a clasp. Another plus, you can wear a regular bra with this dress. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this dress!!! 100% recommend

Beautifully made dress but oddly placed slit
This dress was not in my original order but was a dress that was sent to me after a order fiasco and I actually ended up loving it. The gown is made exceptionally well and the back is absolutely to die for but the slit (which is not very visible in RTR photos) runs right up the middle of the front of the dress and honestly looks quite odd in person. Perhaps it is because I am on the shorter side that the slit, combined with the longer torso of the dress, looked just a bit off. Maybe on a taller girl it would look gorgeous!

Beautiful dress!
The dress was beautiful and the construction was impeccable! The colors were beautiful and the dress fit very well at the beginning of the night. However, the ballroom the dance was in was quite warm and the dress stretched out a lot. I wasn't expecting this as the last Hervé that I rented didn't do this at all. The dress was a tad long and I rolled the bottom band under and taped it up with hem tape. I liked the dress a lot but it is not my favorite Hervé. However it would be perfect for a formal affair where just a touch of sexuality was needed but still needed to be classy.

Such a gorgeous elegant gown! Didn't want to give it back!
This dress was amazing. Hands down. I actually ordered it as my back up gown but my first choice wasn't what I wanted so I wore this dress and it was so perfect. The skirt looks so elegant on and made me look so much taller than I actually am (5'4"). I wore it with about 3.5-4 inch heels. The skirt is not as sheer as it looks on the model but moves beautifully and adds just the right amount of pop to the dress. The top for wonderfully and the belt at the middle helped to make my waist look itty bitty. The top definitely made me feel secure but I wore a backless bra just in case. If anyone is worried about the lace, there is a nude mesh lining underneath so it is definitely not completely sheer. I 100% recommend this dress to anyone who needs a formal gown! Loved it!

Dress is beautiful just not what I wanted
Fit: Dress definitely runs small. I wore a 6 (normally a size 4) and it fit well everywhere except the zipper was sticky. Pro: the dress is beautiful and is constructed very well Con: The dress had a very classy, older feel to me and that wasn't what I wanted for my senior prom. Would totally work for anyone ages 25-50 attending a formal affair though

Amazing dress that's an instant confidence booster!
This was my first time renting Hervé but I will definitely be back for more! I had a great experience in this dress and I was really impressed by it. The quality of the material is great and really nice, although it is a bit heavy. However, you don't notice the weight at all once you put it on. The color is amazing and the bottoms strips are a beautiful chocolate brown. Overall, I loved the coloring of the dress and it will compliment almost any skin tone. I was also impressed by the fact that the dress didn't ride up hardly at all when I walked. I have a very athletic build of a lower body (ie large quads and butt) and so dresses that are tight like this one always ride up but this dress didn't. Only down side to the dress was it was a little loose on the top. I was probably more of a small for my top but the small didn't fit my bottom so I had to wear the medium. But by the end of the night I didn't even notice it was loose. I would definitely recommend this dress for anyone who wants to have a fun night out with friends and wants to look sexy and classy at the same time.

This dress made me look and feel amazing! I didn't want to take it off!
The fit of the dress is definitely snug and form-fitting but that was what I was looking for so it was perfect. The lace sleeves and back are much softer than expected and not scratchy at all. The material is really thick and hides any little imperfections that you don't want to show. It rode up a little throughout the night but any dress I wear does that so it was expected. I wore a backless bra and it worked perfectly. Only downside was there was a small hole on the seam of the skirt. Other than that, the dress was amazing and made a great night unforgettable
