Gorgeous color!
I picked Christian Siriano because I had read reviews that his dresses tended to run small. I am very petite and normally wear 00p. The 0 was almost a perfect fit for me. Since I am height challenged it is proportioned for someone taller but that's to be expected. It's a very form-fitting style so I opted for spanx to smooth out underwear lines.

Hands down my favorite this year
Kicking myself for not getting a good photo of this dress when I had it. I absolutely felt amazing in this. It's a nice knit fabric which was suitable for my February event. From the front it looks like a sweet little dress that is a little form fitting. Then you turn around and BAM! Unexpected sexiness with the lower back cut out and the curve hugging booty. I wish I owned this!

An amazing first year of RTR Pro!
SO worth it! I rented 10 times this year & purchased a final sale dress once. Get Pro!! Not only has this been the best dressed year of my life, but I never again will I spend way too much on a dress for an event while lying to myself: "I'll wear this again..." to justify the cost. I tell everyone about RTR & with all my rentals this year I saved about $150 on the shipping and insurance. For real, get it!!

So ladylike!
I absolutely loved this dress. A little long for a petite, but I kind of liked the modest mid calf length even if it was inadvertent. I'd buy this if the top wasn't so roomy and the straps weren't just a little bit too long. So pretty though!

Beautifully made dress
So pretty! Rented this for a work presentation. The fabrics were lovely and high quality. Lace and a bow were such cute feminine touches when paired with a blazer to make it more professional. Only complaint is it was very roomy on me, but I am very petite. The length was just perfect though.

Flawlessly sexy on a moments notice
Rented this as a backup and after loving and wearing my first choice dress on a Friday night, didn't expect to need this one even thought it was very cute. Saturday I found out I needed to be ready to go to a nice bar for a birthday with about 15 seconds to get ready. I tossed on this dress, pinned the top closed and even though my hair was dirty and I had no time to touch up makeup I applied in the am, I looked and felt amazing in this dress. So sexy with zero effort. Absolutely made the night for me!

Perfect sparkle
Wore to a christmas party with a blazer since it's winter. I pinned up the straps since they were a little too long for a shorty like me, and cinched in the waist with a skinny belt. So pretty after a few adjustments for the fit, so many compliments! Loved the unique shape to the sequins

"Girl I've been taking notes from you all night!"
Rented this for a post Thanksgiving high school reunion. This is my second Herve rental so I knew an XXS would be best, even if it took some extra muscle to get the zipper up. Once in the dress though I felt amazing! Hope I have another reason to rent it. Wore with a blazer most the night which toned down the sexiness but still looked incredible. The length was exactly where I hoped it would be since I am short, and the fabric was wonderful and thick which was perfect for a winter event.

My husband flirting with me all night :)
Rented both xs and xxs and decided I liked the fit of xxs the best. Gave me a very sexy silhouette but the length hit right at my knee, so it was still classy and appropriate for a country club wedding. Spent most the night with shapewear underneath, but when the dancing began I had to take it off because it was too warm! The fabric of the dress is so thick, coupled with shapewear it got a little hard to breathe. The color is just beautiful in person! The neckline didn't need a necklace, so some sparkly earrings were the perfect accessory. I felt so gorgeous all evening.

Gorgeous color, unfortunately couldn't wear it.
Beautiful fabric, awesome color! But when I put on the XS, it looked like it was still hanging off a hanger. I could pinch about 6 inches of excess fabric on both sides. Trying to belt it tighter and pinning in the sides didn't help either... just waaay too much dress for this little frame.

RTR chose this necklace for me when my first choice was unavailable and I like it even more. Wore it with a sparkly cocktail dress I also rented, and with my work outfit. So pretty!

So much sparkle!
For reference I'm very petite... 5'1" and 90ish lbs. A good fit is tough to find without a little alteration, but the length of this dress was perfect This dress is proportioned for someone taller and a little fuller chested, so not surprisingly it needed a little pinning. But after a few adjustments for a good fit, I felt so pretty in this little dress! The sparkle is just SO fun. I picked a grey sash I had to wear with the dress instead of the matching sequin one that came with because I like a little more contrast. I'd love to find another reason to rent it.
