Great material and color
Wore for a work event in fall. Gorgeous color and texture - got many compliments. The weird thing is that there was definitely enough material to cover my larger boobs, but trying to find a strapless/backless bra that worked was difficult. The cut is low enough in the back and in the front that you can't do a standard strapless. And you can't do a halter because of the unique neckline. Ended up with a pasted on bra that I had to adjust a lot, but overall a nice dress.

Didn't wear
NOT for women with larger bust. It just bumped out and made me look large. I'm a size 6 so that shouldn't happen.

Didn't wear it
This could be cute, but it's a little weird for someone with a larger bust. The flowy parts just don't flow right.

Amazing and gorgeous
One of my favorite rentals of all. Perfect for tall, thinner women who also have boobs. I wish I could have afforded to buy. Felt so feminine!

Tried to wear for work
This dress is too low cut for work. Did not wear other than trying on. Otherwise great fit.

For summer parties or dark haired/skinned beauties
This dress was fun, but the color completely threw me off. It is basically flesh colored with some gold brushing over it. I put it on and it looked like I was naked...and it sat a little strange on my lower belly. I think this would be a stunning dress in the summer (when I'm super tan) or on anyone with darker skin than the northern winter pale I have going right now. So, while it might be great for you to not have a dress made out of gold lame -- keep in mind that the base color = flesh.

Careful if you're skinny but busty.
I went out of my comfort zone to rent this one. I thought it might look super cute since I have very long legs like the model. Unfortunately, this just ended up looking like a trash bag on me. I think it was my breasts...though not sure because I've seen the pics and everyone looked so cute. The waist portion was just weird -- it hung strangely and my breasts made me look a little preggo despite my relatively thin tummy. Bottom line, really adorable but NOT for my body type.

Thank you thank you for saving my Vegas Weekend!
I had rented two other dresses for a weekend in Vegas -- and neither of them fit. But on Friday -- only a few hours before I flew out -- RTR staff helped get me this dress which was a KNOCKOUT. It is like wearing fashionable spanx. Totally comfortable and somehow manages to suck in and push up everything right. I highly highly recommend this dress if you are like me -- tall with curves. I have a size 27-28 waist, but I wear a 34 DD bra. Dresses are sometimes hard to find. As others have said, I took it out of the box and said, "uh-oh." But it slipped right on and was amazing. I got tons and tons of compliments! Herve Leger will definitely be a go-to in the future.

Nice for glam look
Great earrings, but three days after and my lobes are still swollen. Awesome look, but be prepared for the pain.
