Not what I needed for a maternity dress.
At 8-months pregnant I was looking for an appropriate maternity dress for a friends semi-formal wedding. I ordered my normal 4R with a 6R for backup, and neither fit around my chest, despite having only gained 23 pounds during my pregnancy . I imagine this would be a fun dress to wear not pregnant, but I didn't find it appropriate to be filtered as a maternity option. Perhaps the 8R would have fit, but then you lose any "fit" the dress should have.

Simple with sparkle!
Wore this for NYE and it was a hit! Very short so needs to be worn with tights, but the open back is wonderful and very sexy, and the navy sparkles give it that fun flare. I'm normally a 4, but was able to fit into the 2 (they were very similar). I would definitely rent this again.

This dress is a dream.
I wore this beautiful dress to a fall beach wedding (shoes optional) and it was a huge hit. It hugs your curves without being showy and the length helps keep you conservative, but you stay sexy. I'm normally a S in Herve, but since this is a new dress I went with the M and it felt great all night. The colors are just as wonderful as they look online.

Sexy, beautiful color, fitted and left me feeling great all night.
This dress is really wonderful-- keeping you sexy while also sophisticated. The color is beautiful, it hugs your body well (I wore spanx for extra hugging), and it's a great length so you never have to worry about it being too short. I wore this with nude heels and it looks great and felt great all night. Lots of complements. Rent this dress!

Unflattering and stiff, but beautiful color.
While the color is beautiful, the fit of this dress did not work for me. This is my second attempt with Robert Rodriguez and perhaps its my body type, but the mid-section and back were both very loose and unflattering. If you have a tight body and want to show it off, I wouldn't recommend this dress. It made my waist and my chest disappear, so I just looked baggy. Perhaps the 2 would have been a better fit, but I imagine it would have still been a stiff fit and not something I would want to wear all day.

Sexy, comfortable, and unforgettable.
I'm 5'7", 32D, 130lbs and the small fit perfectly. The material is very nice-- not too thick, not too thin-- so if needed, I could have sized up in the medium and looked/felt just as good. It really flatters your figure and the back is just to die for, but you never feel unclassy. I've rented this dress twice and it wow'ed both times. Rent it!

Great service and a beautiful product.
I needed a dress for a gala-- Vermont, not DC-- so this was a perfect for evening cocktail attire. I received so many complements and after I told everyone it was rented, they suggested I find a way to purchase it because it was so great. I would highly recommend this dress for anyone who thinks the picture looks great-- it's just as great on! The material felt wonderful and I was never concerned about it looking too big or too small. The color is gorgeous and you can easily wear it with heels or flats.
