Flattery fit AND POCKETS!
This dress is fitted at the top - so much so that a bra is unnecessary! It features a beautiful a-line cut and has pockets. Super flattering! I'm buying this one!

Too long, and too narrow.
So the color, print, and fabric of this dress is just lovely! But the fit is crazy off. It was super narrow and unusually long. It's almost as if it was made for a size 6 long, rather than a 10-12R, like myself. However, if you are tall and thin, get it! The color is beautiful!

Nice dress, poor fit.
I was looking for something to kick around the French Quarter in. This one seemed to fit the bill; however, with the cut, I couldnt' get it to close in the front.

Super cute and great quality.
The dress ran unusually large! It's also best for a taller person. I'm only 5'3" and it looked like I was wearing my grandmother's duster, so I opted to not wear it. It was also very large at the top. The quality, however, was very impressive and tags were still on. If it came in a petite, I would try again.

Very weird fit
One size fit perfectly except from the waist up. The cut fit AROUND the outside of my breasts, then the next size up swallowed me everywhere. I wasn't able to wear it.

Beautiful choice for a breast cancer fundraiser!
I'm a breast cancer survivor and was attending an event/fundraiser at a beautiful local restaurant. I wanted to wear pink to represent, and I also am always eager and proud to show off the wonderful reconstruction job. The dress was a little low cut for me but, with some body tape, I was able to keep things in check. I so loved the pockets (perfect for lipstick and credit cards, so who needs a purse?), and the metallic gold and green embroidery were the icing on the proverbial cake! I got tons of compliments and I felt oh so pretty in it. I would highly recommend and would definitely rent again!

Classy and Stunning!
This dress was so delicate and lovely! The embroidery is actually a rose gold metallic. The fit was incredible! I wore some rose gold bracelets and was going to wear a rose gold necklace but, honestly, with all the beautiful work, that would have been overkill. It was perfect just as it was. I wore this to a gala where I was also a speaker. I received TONS of compliments and photos doesn't really do this dress the justice it deserves! I would imagine this would be perfect for just about any occasion. Well made! The only caveat was that the button closure at the back of my neck, broke, and I have very short hair so there was no pinning it. Instead, I tucked the flaps down to give it an illusion of a v neck opening in back. It worked out perfect, as this incident occurred when my event was nearly over. I woud HIGHLY recoommend! Fit is snug and PERFECT for an hourglass shape. No bra needed!

If you want to be seen - THIS is the dress!
I wore this dress to a fundraiser for CAGNO (Cancer Association of Greater New Orleans). As was the case with another Naeem Khan dress that I frequently rent, it fit like a glove! The red stripes are actually bead work, and they sparkle like crazy. I didn't think I would like something over just one shoulder but I ended up loving it! I received compliments all night. This dress HUGS your body. I am a classic hourglass and it hit in ALL the right spots. It's a heavy dress but that also means you don't have to mess with pesky strapless bras, etc. It holds you all in, everywhere! Loved, loved, loved it!

Great pop of color!
I chose this dress because I wanted to wear something that stood out, was still casual, and better than blue jeans and a plaid shirt. It was for an indoor picnic at one of my favorite local restaurants. The color was gorgeous and I LOVED the weight of the material; However, it was a bit low cut for me. I also have gained a few pounds and could have used the 10, but the 8 was all that was available and I was determined. The color is orange, which I knew, based on previous reviews. I pinned the top closed and paired with turquoise jewelry, which was perfect. I also wore cork wedge sandals, and it all looked very, very nice. i was just uncomfortable in the area that goes across the chest because, as I mentioned, should have rented the 10. I would still recommend!

Beautiful style!
I had my eye on this dress for quite some time and was happy to finally have an occasion to rent it. I wore it to a Spirited Dinner for Tales of the Cocktail. It was super hot out and the shell, however, made this dress very hot! I liked the fit at the top but overlay at the bottom is very full, making me look a little thicker than I would have liked. I did receive many compliments and enjoyed wearing it. I would recommend for a more slender person. It's still beautiful!

I rented this dress for a "Baguette Battle," and I chose it because it seemed to look like a French table cloth :) It was just lovely! The detail was perfect. It was very feminine and I received TONS of compliments. It fit the bill just fine! The fit was spot on and I felt very beautiful in it! Definitely would recommend and definitely would rent again, and again, and again!

Beautiful Birthday Dress!
I wore this dress to my 52nd birthday party. It was sooooo comfortable. The fit was perfect. It was lovely, feminine and sexy! I would totally rent again! The only thing is.... the 10 was too big up top and the 8 fit perfectly everywhere else but it sure was low cut. Still, it was a lovely dress! You just can't go wrong with Herve Leger!

It was "okay."
My bad on this purse. I thought it was a hard purse and it was mesh. Maybe I didn't read the description thoroughly. It wasn't terrible. Just not my taste and not what I expected.

Beautiful fit. High quality fabric. Just lovely!
The fit was perfect! The fabric is thick and holds up so nicely! Unfortunately, my event got cancelled due to Tropical Storm Cindy... And my back-up event was cancelled as well, so I didn't get to wear it. But the fit was just perfect. I will certainly rent again so that I can actually wear it :)

Amazing! Beautiful fit!
I am a breast cancer survivor and was chosen to participate in a fashion show of "thrivers." While I was outfitted with a dress for the fashion show, i was told to come in something I want "to be seen in." I chose this dress, as it was pink and perfect for this brunch event. And I was seen. I was even in the NOLA paper. It was fitted just perfectly in the waist and the bottom was A-line, which was perfect for my figure. The rick rack detailing was just beautiful. I felt like a cup cake :)

Beautifully made. Runs super small.
This dress - I have admired for quite some time; However, the fit was SUPER small. I could've worn it (maybe) but the snugness had it riding up a bit in back. Thanks to the helpful and always on call RTR staff, another design was shipped out immediatley and fit perfect. For this dress... know your size and order a size bigger - or two.

Head Turner in Red!
I rented this dress for a friend's restaurant opening. I wanted something subtle but classy. This hit on all cylinders - but the color was an eye popper - and I'm glad it was. The dress is a classic fit, stretchy fabric that reminds me of neoprene but lighter. Lots of stretch and you can either wear it off the shoulders or on the shoulders, where the front bunches up and gives a slight cowl neck feel. The cut into the front top, makes for a subtle sexiness. The dress was true to size. Length was perfect. Definite head turner and the color was beautiful! I wore for both a restaurant opening and a theatre performance - each with a completely different group of people, so I was able to get two wears out of it in my 4-day rental. Just lovely and I would certainly rent again and highly recommend!

A Dress So Nice, I Rented It Twice!
This was the first time I'd rented one of this designer's dresses. I had been working hard and lost over 50 lbs and decided I wanted to show off this figure! This dress is amazing! The bandage design and fit of the fabric is crazy good! It hits in all the right places and you certainly don't need any undergarments like Spanx or anything like that. If this dress doesn't hold you in, nothing will. The fit was impeccable and the peplum even made me look smaller. Sassy and classy! I rented it the first time for a dinner with friends at a swank chef-driven restaurant. And the second time was for my boobiversary, celebrating 3 years free of breast cancer at a famed Brennan restaurant in NOLA. Each time, heads turned, compliments were flying, and I felt beautiful and confident. I will rent a third time. Great for an hourglass figure and, if you are a bit larger at the bottom, this is the dress for you!

Impeccable fit! Lovely stitching.
This dress was fun, sexy, and beautiful! It fit just perfectly! Was a bit short for me (not a problem I usuallly have since I am only 5'3"). But it worked! I wore it to a brunch with a popular culinary personality so I knew we would get noticed. Well, I could have been dining with a stuffed animal, and still would've gotten noticed. I have many folks in the restaurant dining room stop by to offer compliments on the dress. It was lovely and I would certainly rent it again! Very fitted and comfortable! Some stretch as well!

Very delicate and pretty!
I rented this dress for Easter brunch. In fact, I decided to go to brunch AFTER I rented the dress. I just wanted to wear something pretty that weekend. This dress is adorable! The fit was very nice! Snug in the waist, which is great because that's one of my best assets. However, I found the narrowness of the shoulders to be unflattering. I'm very small at the shoulders and it just seemed out of whack. But, that's not the dress's fault. It was lovely. And I received many compliments. It was unusual, beautiful, chic.

STILL the most stunning dress I've ever worn!
UPDATE: This is the THIRD time I rent this dress! I've worn it to a wedding, a special event, and this time to a Bastille Day celebration at one of my favorite New Orleans restaurants. This time, I again rented an 8 and a 10; however, the 10 was unavailable and a replacement was sent. It, too, was pretty, but didn't hold a candle to the Davi Sheath! And THIS TIME, I wore a size 8. This dress is no less than stunning and a show-stopper! PREVIOUS: As described by other ladies, this dress does run small - but not by too much. My normal size is an 8 and I also rented a 10, based on that feedback. The 10 fit like a glove! As other users have mentioned, the dress has NO GIVE. But you really don't want give, as that would compromise the beautiful pattern. The stitching is lovely, and has slight beading as well. The dress fit like a glove! It was as though it was tailor made for my body! It hit in all the right places, yet zipped right up. Others have also mentioned that it was tight around arms. I did not have that issue. Fit everywhere was perfect. Also, the deep ruby stitching against the nude background, provided a stark contrast that was just breathtaking! I received so many compliments! I'm always quick to point out that my dresses are RTR, as I want others to be able to take advantage of this great service - as I have for the past 2.5 years. But not this time :) I really wanted to go somewhere else so that I could wear the dress one more time before returning it BUT.. I was with the same wedding folks for the remainder of the time, so couldn't. But... I sure wanted to. I HIGHLY recommend this rental!

Brilliant color! You will certainly get noticed!
The dress fit like a glove and hits in all the right places. I am rather large at the bottom so while the M fit perfectly on top, I found the hip area to be too snug, so I opted for the L, which was a little loose on top but perfect fit at the hip area, and made me more comfortable. I wore to an art gallery opening of friends, and chose a color that I see used in his artwork quite frequently. This dress fit the bill to a T! Highly recommended!

Beautiful dress, but I couldn't wear it.
I had my eye on this one for a long time so I ordered two sizes. Unfortunately, I had gained weight and the hip area was very unforgiving. It was definitely stunning - just not on me.
