Not for fuller busts!

I was so excited to wear this after reading reviews/seeing pics, but holllyyyyy side boob. It would not have been appropriate for a rehearsal dinner, but maybe for a night out in vegas or somewhere similar. Very beautiful fabric and pattern, just more appropriate for a smaller chest.

This dress is sincerely so flattering. I could eat whatever I wanted without worrying about a tummy bulge, and could dance all night with no fear of a wardrobe malfunction. The fabric is also relatively thick/heavy, so it was perfect for an outdoor spring wedding on a windy day. I’m a true XS and a lot of times even XS will run big on me, but this was perfect sizing. Just make sure to put it on BEFORE doing hair and makeup since there is no zipper!

Lots of compliments:)

I received many compliments, and this dress gave me kardashian-esque curves, as well as some (tasteful) side-boob. True to size, maybe even runs a bit small. Size up if you're in between sizes. I'm 5'9" and it hit well below the knee. Also this dress has no give, so if you're planning on dancing and/or eating, maybe go with something else. :)

Just ok

It's very soft and the length was good (I'm 5'9" and it hit a couple inches above my knees), but there's no discernible waist, so I just looked frumpy.

The dress itself is very pretty; however , something about the cut and fit was just off. It's hard to tell from the model, but the way the extra fabric at the chest naturally falls makes the waist line also look asymmetrical (you can see it a bit in my picture). And I will second the comment of other reviewers that there's actually a big gap there, too, that required quite a bit of fashion tape, and made me very self-conscious most of the event. The fabric has zero give in the hips but too much room at the ribs and the things. Overall, not my favorite rental personally, but I did get many compliments on it.

This dress will turn heads and can be styled up or down. I'm not a big jewelry person, and you don't need much else with this number. Plus it was long enough, which hardly ever happens on my frame. Comfortable, unique, and conservative with some sass = right up my alley. One of my favorite rentals!

Standout dress

Oh my gawd y'all, this dress was a HIT. It's classic with a twist, classy, and beautiful. I got sooo many compliments all night. I rented black and gold Kendra Scott earrings, and a Gorjana bracelet as accessories. The only reason I am not giving this dress five stars is that the top was a tiny bit large, resulting in some gapping and strap-slipping, but overall the fit was good. Plus the full skirt and natural waist allows for wedding food indulgence. :) Def worth the price tag!

Loves the Fall-appropriate color, and the fabric is such that you don't have to keep pulling to adjust it every five minutes. I will say that if you're in between sizes, size up, because this sucker has no zipper!

Loved the back, but holy side boob.

I really wanted to love this dress, but it just did not work, unfortunately. I rented a zero, but the top was still too loose, and side boob was out in full force. I am not comfortable going braless, and even had one of those NuBras on, but you could still see the side of it. That could be the style of the dress, and if so, that's fine, but it was not the right style for me.

Stand out dress!

I'll start out by saying that this is usually not my style. I go for the fit and flare type of dress, but wanted to try something different. I am so glad I did! It was flowy and romantic and I could eat without fear of a food baby. Other reviewers have said it but it bears repeating. The back of the dress is stunning...and also pretty tight at the clasp above the zipper. If I had sized up the dress would've fallen off, so I didn't use the clasp and it was fine. Overall def one of my favorites!

Pretty but matronly. Don't rent if you are tall and you don't have hips!

From the photos, I thought the dress would be a little younger/more form-fitting, but the V is not as deep as it is in the picture, and something about the fabric and the ruching/overlay in the middle gives an illusion of a thicker waist. So the end-result looked rather boxy, which is not desirable at all. Also, I'm 5'9", and I usually wear a 2/4, so the XSmall fit better in the body than did the Small, but it was super short. Unfortunately, this is probably my least favorite dress I've rented, but I received it a day too late (my fault - we were traveling), so I did not even try to send it back for account credit.

Very short!

I am 5'9" and a pretty standard size 2, and I felt super uncomfortable in this dress. It rode up when I was doing anything other than standing, and it was really tight at the bottom, but loose at the top. It's beautiful, but the fit is not great. I think it would fit better for someone who is shorter, and who also has more of a bust to fill out the top.

Baggier than expected, and too short to size down.

The colors and fabrics are beautiful and unique, and the pattern is eye-catching, but it has an odd fit. I would say that if you are 5'5" and under, and somewhat busty, this would be a great dress for you. But, as I'm 5'9" and relatively straight up and down, I had a hard time with the fit. It was pretty baggy (even with a size 2), but if I sized down to a 0, it would have been the length of a t-shirt. It could be that I was expecting more of a body-con fit, so if you're going for a looser look, then I would say go for it!

I wore this for my stock the bar wedding shower, and felt comfortable the entire time. Even when everyone else changed into "comfy" clothes, I stayed in my dress and heels. I did not need spanx or tights, even though it was cold outside and the dress is form-fitting. Normally I have some sort of caution about some part of the dress, but with this one, I have nothing. Loved it! PS: Please forgive the duck face in the second photo. :o)

Perfect Summer Dress!

I wore this to an outdoor wedding where the temp was over 105 degrees. It was very light-weight, and did not show sweat, which was ideal. It also has some stretch, so I did not feel like a sausage in it. I paired it with nude wedges and a nude skinny belt at the waist. One thing though: it wrinkles easily, so I had to iron it very well before the event.

So comfortable and glam!

At first I was a little intimidated by the snake print, but in person, it's so fun! It's fairly long (I'm 5'9 and it hit an inch or two above my knee), so that takes the raciness down a bit. As other posters have said, the fabric is pretty stretchy, and as I don't really have hips, the dress was a little baggy on me (even in the smaller size). I would recommend renting your true size and then a size down. Overall, the dress was awesome, and I got more than a few "best dressed" votes for the night!

I loved the look of this dress online, and it looks very pretty on the model; however, in person, the seaming looks cheap-ish, and I had a hard time keeping the hem level (you can see in the back-view where the left side rides up a little higher than the right). Also, the shoulder was too big, which meant I had to pull the entire dress down in order to make it so the strap didn't fall down. But, when I pulled the dress down to make the shoulder strap taut, the top of the dress was too low, and I would have been in danger of a wardrobe malfunction. One size down, however, would have been too tight in the hips. Long story short: beautiful in the picture, but lacking in person.

I LOVED this dress online and also when I got it. The tweed is perfect for Fall, and the leather gives the ultra-proper tweed a little kick. However, it does not stretch at all. It's constructed for a girl who is built the same on top as she is on the bottom, and does not conform to a body type like mine (small-chested and small-boned up top with some hips). My hips are by no means wide, and I had trouble moving comfortably in the 4, but the top was gappy and ill-fitting in the 6. I would say this dress would be perfect if you are either big chested with smaller hips (the dress is tight enough that you may not need a bra), or if you are built straight up and down. Overall the dress is gorgeous, but you really have to consider your body type before ordering.

Ladies, you MUST rent this dress at some point. It is perfect for making you stand out in a crowd, and you can really play with some sparkle and shine elsewhere (jewelry, makeup, etc). I got so many compliments on it. I do have to agree with some of the other posters that it's best for girls who have the same proportions on top as they do on the bottom, as it's not very forgiving in the hips and belly regions, but if you have an occasion on which to wear it, GO FOR IT!

Classic and comfortable!

Beautiful dress, and it's easy to dress up or down, depending on the occasion. It has some stretch, so if you're bustier or have hips, you'll be fine with your normal size. My only word of caution is to the tall girls with hips and/or a long torso. I felt that the proportions were a liiiiittle teeny bit off, as the bottom of the lace portion did not hit me at the hips, it hit a little above. The dress also rides up a bit, so I did find myself tugging it down a few times to keep the proportions (and my dignity) in tact . Other than that, I definitely recommend!!

WAY too tight

Let me just preface this with the comment that I LOVE this dress. It's super cute, and would have been perfect for my friend's 11 AM wedding. I am normally a size 2, but get a back up size 4, just in case. The 4 in this dress was not available, but I wasn't concerned since it looks like the dress has a little stretch. When I got the dress and tried it on, I had to double check the tag to make sure it was a 2 and not a 0. I couldn't even WALK, it was so tight. You could see the outline of my ribs through the dress. Not cute. So, if you're planning to rent, make sure you get you definitely go larger with your back up size!

People kept asking me where I got it, so quite a few people now know how awesome RTR is! :o)

This dress is absolutely stunning. It flows when you walk, the color is amazing, and the detailing is subdued but intricate. I paired it with Nicole Miller's Star Light Star Bright necklace, and received tons of compliments on both. I got the Long, but wore it with 3 in heels (which was perfect), so if you are tall, and don't like wearing heels, the Regular will probably work for you. Also, if you are busty, I would maybe pick this as a back up dress, as it is fairly low-cut in the front. And, it bears repeating, this dress wrinkles VERY easily, so have a steamer ready. I also had some problems with people stepping on the train, so maybe let others walk in front of you. :o)

I really loved this dress. I wore it to a rehearsal dinner over the summer, and got tons of compliments. One other poster commented that the yellow does not look the same in the picture as it does in person, and she is correct; the color in person is a little more mustard-y, but once it's on, you will forget about that. It can get a little short when you sit down, so if you're taller than 5'8 (I'm 5'9), it can be a little risque. I was sitting at a table with a tablecloth, so it didn't matter too much to me, but buyer beware. Also, best part, it has pockets!

Like all Herve Leger dresses, this is super sexy, and although it is less expensive than most, I would rent a different one given a redo. It was pretty baggy in the armpit area (you can see it a little bit on the model in the picture), and I had to keep adjusting it all night because the straps just felt too big. Maybe ordering a size down would've been a good idea, but the rest of the dress fit perfectly.

This dress was sooo pretty and it fit really well (make sure you order a size down, though; I'm normally a 4 and ordered a 2, which fit perfectly). However, like other reviewers, I found the sequins to be unbearable. I had to take it off after a couple minutes of wearing it around, and 2 hours later, my arms were still scratched up. If you don't have sensitive skin, go for it, especially if you want to stand out in a crowd. Otherwise, renter beware!
