Sparkly, festive, fun dress.
I think this is another dress that people loved it more than I did - maybe that's because I was the one wearing it. I loved the color and the length (being tall, that is always important for me). However, the lining is a silk-type lining and has very little give. It wasn't a huge deal, but my lower half is larger than my top half - so although the 6 fit in the chest, the 8 was absolutely necessary for the bottom to fit - and even then, it was still snug. Standing up, the dress was great - however, because the dress lacked any slack, sitting down for the reception and ceremony was challenging, if not comical. Lastly, like every other reviewer stated, the sequins DO rub underneath your arms - but I was expecting that and knew that was something I would have to deal with - just like uncomfortable heels! Overall, everyone absolutely loved this dress - which in turn made me feel even more beautiful in it. I wouldn't wear it again - however, I am VERY happy with my rental. Perfect for one night out!

Perfect curve-hugging dress in a fun, bright color. Perfect for a summer wedding!
This dress was fantastic. I am really tall, so the length was great. It's so nice to find a dress where I don't have to worry if I drop something on the ground. Ha. I wore this to a wedding in Palm Springs - I knew I liked it, but I got so many compliments throughout the night, it made me like it even more! This was my first Herve dress and I adored it - it even still had the tags on it when it arrived! I can't wait to wear other Herve dresses - I felt sexy and fun, while still feeling classy. Definitely recommend!

Simple, cute, fun, happy summer dress
This fit fairly true to size. I did wear a bra with it and had a couple moments where it would peak out of the sides, but it wasn't a big deal. I had a lot of fun wearing the dress - it was simple, but once I paired the hot pink with blue pumps, it made the outfit really fun. Only downfall was that I would have preferred it to be a TAD longer. However, I am really tall, so if you're average height, it wouldn't be a problem at all.

Pretty in peach
This dress was a little large in the bust for me - I wish I would have gotten the 6. The length was great for me, being 6'2". I did have to wear flats though - heels would never have worked. Although I got a ton of compliments on the dress, I wasn't in love with it. I'm not sure if it was because it felt ill-fitting on the top or I was just tired. Also, the piping giving structure to the bust was poking out sharp plastic pieces underneath both armpits, making it fairly miserable by the end of the night.

Comfy summer dress
As other reviewers have said, the dress runs large. I also decided to belt the dress because without it, it felt very shapeless. Being 6'2", I know renting any long dress is a gamble, so in a perfect world the dress would have been a few inches longer. Also, the dress arrived to me with a rip in the side. I wore it anyway because to be honest, I didn't even notice until I had already left the house (bummer). Overall, I thought it was a comfy dress to wear around the city, but I wouldn't rent it again.

Fun statement ring
Loved this ring - it was a lot of fun to wear. It was the only piece of jewelry I needed. I don't have super petite fingers, (probably wear a 7) so I imagine if you did, it might be a fairly large size for you. I wore the ring on my right hand ring finger without any problems.

Cute, but a weird fit...
This was a really cute, fun, flirty spring dress. I loved the color and putting it on, the front of the dress looked fantastic. However, the back of it had a weird lay to it - it wasn't flattering to my backside at all. I'm 6'2" and wear a size 6/8. Maybe the 6 would have fit better, but then I think the cutout in the front would have cut into my stomach. The good thing is, is the dress looked really cute in photos... I just wish I had felt better in it, but the back of the dress just made it feel sub-par.

Simple and easy to dress up or down.
I really liked this necklace. It wasn't quite as substantial weight-wise, as I expected, which made it feel slightly cheap and fragile, but regardless of that, I really liked the necklace. The length was under the braline, which I liked, because it doesn't have that awkward length where necklaces sometimes just hang off of your cleavage (for lack of a better way to describe that).

Simple earrings - great with jeans and a T.
I liked these earrings - I didn't love them, but thought they were fun and simple for everyday wear. Cute and simple.

A nice purse for everyday - with a little rock n' roll edge.
I really liked this purse - It didn't hold as much as some of my other bags, but then again, I really shouldn't carry everything I own in a purse. :) I got this as part of my "unlimited" rentals and was so happy it was one of the items they shipped to me. I also love that it is great to use as a crossbody bag, just for security purposes when you're walking at night. Really pretty bag.

Conservative and Sexy at the same time.
This dress was absolutely wonderful. I definitely agree with other reviewers that it does run large. I am usually an 8, but the 6 fit perfectly. Also, being 6'2" tall, the length of the dress was great - and appropriate for a fall wedding. The 'armpit holes' took a second to get used to, but they really add a hint of fun to an otherwise simple dress. I never knew you could get so many compliments on a dress with a conservative length and neckline. :) I had a blast in the dress and wish it was in my closet permanently.

Simple necklace to dress up a casual outfit.
I really liked this necklace. I thought it was beautiful - the only thing is that it tangles VERY easily. When it was delivered, it took my husband and I an hour to untangle it so I could wear it. I ran across the street in DC to catch a light and it took me about 15 mins to untangle it. Also, I wished it had been just a little bit longer length-wise, although I still thought it looked great. Overall, beautiful necklace. :)

Sparkly statement earrings
I loved these earrings. They weren't terribly heavy, so I could wear them for a decent amount of time and they added just enough sparkle to my outfit. I loved that they could easily be dressed up or down. Jeans and a t-shirt with some flashy earrings would have looked just as good.

Loved these statement earrings!
These were wonderful - and as other reviewers mentioned, they are clip-on, but no one would be able to notice - and it made wearing such large, heavy earrings so much more comfortable. I really didn't want to send these back! Just wish they were offered in a dozen different colors.

It was a beautiful dress, and for once, it was long enough for me being so tall!
I really loved the dress - however I wish I would have gone DOWN a size with my extra dress, rather than up. I'm small on top, with bigger hips, so I tend to always order up - besides, who loves that arm fat that hangs over a strapless dress when it's too tight? However, I ordered an 8L and a 10L - I ended up wearing the 8L, but would have really benefitted from having a smaller size. I was yanking at the top the whole night so I didn't show off anything I wasn't supposed to. ;) I am still really happy with the rental process, as this was my first time. Also, I ordered the long, but was terrified it meant "long" by normal standards. I am 6'2", so I had no idea if it would work. Luckily for me, I still wore small 2.5inch heels and it just skimmed the ground. What a fantastic surprise (I have been the queen of highwaters since grade school). I can't wait to rent another dress, I just hope my 'guesstimations' on my sizes fit like a glove next time around.
