Gorgeous, unique dress. It was perfect for my engagement photoshoot!
I loved this dress, however the fit wasn't perfect on me. I ordered the 4R as well, which fit perfectly through the waist, but if I didn't stand exactly straight it sat strangely around my hips (I do have a larger booty for my size). Meanwhile the size 6 fit my hips, but the waist was too big and didn't give that "snatched" effect. I ended up using a few safety pins on the inside of the size 6, to pull in the waist, which were unnoticeable due to all of the ruching. I was concerned about it looking perfect for my engagement photos, but in real life I might have just worn the 4R for ease if it were to a party or something like that. TLDR: If you have a bigger butt/hips, you may need to size up & then take in the waist with safety pins. Overall wonderful dress that felt special and gorgeous!

Perfect sophisticated & unique outfit for my Architecture Thesis presentation!
This dress fit very well, I really could've worn the XS or the S, but liked the shorter skirt on the XS. Definitely blouses enough for any sized chest. It felt casual enough for school, while being artsy & edgy too. I decided to wear it slightly unbuttoned, but it definitely looked good both ways. The slit was perfectly placed & I always felt secured & covered. Wish I owned this dress!

So helpful on getting into the event early & getting the first dresses.
Always a great sample sale. Many dresses do have rips, stains, or broken zippers, so you do have to be careful when purchasing.

Perfect Masquerade Accessory!
I wore these with the BCBGMAXAZRIA Got Him Hooked dress from RTR. Matched perfectly and were so cool. Great mix of a vintage vibe with modern lines! Bonus perk was that they weren't too heavy on my ears, so I could wear them comfortably all night, even with dancing.

Golden Cocktail Goddess worn for a Masquerade Party!
This dress was so gorgeous! The gold color and lace overlay were stunning and I received endless compliments! The back detailing was one of my favorite parts. The only warning I'd give is anyone with a larger butt/thigh area for their size. I am a dancer and have muscular thighs and the dress doesn't have much give; I think if I was any bigger down there, I would've had to size up, especially because of the thigh-high front slit. I wore this dress with House of Harlow 1960 Teepee Earrings (triangular gold and black) from RTR, and they were the perfect accessory.

Perfect dress for Summer events! I received so many compliments!
This dress is perfect. I wore it to a Summer wedding at a library. It was comfortable, great for dancing, and wasn't too short. It didn't ride up at all! The print and cutouts are super interesting and the dress definitely stood out in the crowd, while still being appropriate. The fabric is sturdy, yet comfy. I paired it with a Kate Spade Newspaper clutch, white pointed Ted Baker heels, and fun jewelry. The dress accented my body so well and was sexy & sweet. Would definitely recommend it!

Loved this Herve Leger dress, fit perfectly. It was really special for a fun Vegas girls trip.
I originally wanted to rent this for my bday, but it was sold out, so glad I got to rent it this time. The dress fit really great! Exactly what I wanted. The fabric on Herve dresses holds in everything so well. I also looked at a few strapless herve styles at the Vegas boutique, but I wouldn't recommend the strapless style for girls with tiny busts, unless you've got a good push-up strapless bra, as it totally flattened me out.

Loved wearing this to dinner in Vegas.
This dress is stretchy and felt great to wear. I was originally looking at getting an Herve Leger dress, but this one fit me better. It has a similar look to an Herve at a cheaper price point, which was great!

Had a great time in Vegas with my girls, in my Herve!
The dress fit really well! Exactly what I wanted. The fabric on the dress held in everything superbly. I just wouldn't recommend the strapless style for girls with smaller boobs though, unless you've got a good push-up strapless bra, as one of my friends tried on the same one, and it totally flattened her out.

Perfect balance of edgy and glam for my 23rd birthday!
I saw this necklace at the RTR Soho boutique while I was getting a rental for my birthday, and I instantly loved it. I assumed it must be pricey to rent, since it was so cool, so I was super surprised when I found out it was only $10! I love how the necklace accentuated the Parker Claudia dress I rented. I didn't want to take the necklace off, so I even wore it out to brunch the next morning with a turtleneck sweater. Pretty much a perfect necklace. I'd buy it to own if I could!

Great 23rd Birthday dress, could be dressed up or down!
The fit was perfect, true to size. It definitely created cleavage on it's own, so for a smaller bust it's perfect. Also, for being a shorter dress, it stayed in place well and didn't ride up (like most tight dresses do since I have a butt) while walking around the streets of NYC. The detail on the top is so pretty in person, but difficult to see online, so pay attention! I wish this dress came in other colors too, because it's so great. Really can't think of anything bad to say about it! I paired it with the Tribal Necklace by Jules Smith to pair it with, it was perfect as it accentuated the bust line nicely and made an already edgy dress even more exciting. I paired my outfit with a denim jacket to dress it down, but you could definitely dress it up with a fur coat or sequin blazer, it's pretty versatile!
