Not your LBD
This is a great rental for a bachelorette party or a night out! The fabric is definitely heavier, so don't be fooled into thinking that the cutouts or lack of sleeves will keep you cool! It runs at least a size small, and depending on where it hits you, it might feel like your ribs are jutting out of the cutouts. I was standing enough to not feel self-conscious, but keep that in mind. It has pockets, which are so fun. It pairs nicely with a statement necklace and would go well with a moto jacket if you needed sleeves.

Nice spin on the LBD
I loved the idea of this dress. It's covered but sexy and is a good length. If i ever have any fit problems, it's usually because the hips/butt are too tight. Definitely not the case here - I wore the smaller of the two sizes and it was still too big around the hips. The fabric was pretty thick and the dress was comfortable. I'd rent it again but would go another size down.

Subtle sexiness
The material of this dress wasn't what I had expected and I didn't particularly care for the fact that it had two layers of fabric. That being said, it was comfortable and easy to wear. I'm short and was glad for once that my legs aren't long because it was definitely short. You need to wear a sticky bra and the keyhole is fun. Overall great dress!

Unique but beautiful neckline
I loved the sequin detail and the overall high-neck of this dress! I'm petite but with a butt and hips and the shape of this dress allowed me to wear the 2 no problem. Great movement of the dress, beautiful periwinkle color, and would be great for a date, party, work event, or night out - very versatile. Both dresses were in good shape but it looked like some sequins got caught together during cleaning. I was able to straighten them out very carefully without pulling any off. Otherwise the dress would have looked like it had some strange seams up top in the back.

Great color and eyelet details
I love the overall shape and style of this dress. Knowing my body (petite but have a booty/hips) I figured the 2 would probably fit everywhere except my hips, and that was the case. It caught just a little bit, so I sized up to the 4. The darts were off because it was a little big, but I preferred that to the tight option. The fabric on this has a nice weight to it but is still light overall.

Flirty spin on an LBD
This shift dress is so fun with the open back! I agree with other reviewers that if you have hips or a butt, you may want to size up. It caught a tiny bit on my hips but I still felt comfortable particularly because I know it'd be dim lighting where I was. The material is light and fun and the back is kind of netted - it just makes it a little edgier overall and very fun to wear. The lining that some other people have mentioned is just on top and I didn't even notice it. This is one of my favorite rentals!

Loved the look!
Loved the look of these bangles but I have tiny wrists and didn't factor that in. Most of the night I was just trying to be careful none of them slipped off. Highly recommend!

Great bag!
Loved this as an addition to a black dress for a bachelorette party. It was bigger than I expected, but be prepared as there's no "wiggle room" in the structure - if you over fill it, it won't stay shut. But still highly recommend!

Vibrant dress!
This dress is vibrant when you're in the light and the pockets are great. I wouldn't recommend it to petite people, unless you're comfortable with a longer fit - it definitely will be closer to your knees than mid-thigh like the model. I agree with some of the other reviewers that the hem feels/is longer in the front, which is really strange. The size I wore (42) had a tear right in the front, where the front seam met the start of the skirt, so that was disappointing. I still got several compliments even though I didn't feel the most comfortable in it - I think it just comes down to body type and comfort level.
Blue Blossom Dress

Loved the back, has a party-girl vibe
The fit of this dress is nice for girls like me who have slightly bigger hips and butts than their waist might suggest. The waist line has elastic and so there's a little give, then it's completely flowy below that. I didn't end up liking it as much as the tighter-fitting dress I wore earlier in the week because I didn't feel like it showed off my body (except for the back, of course, which was awesome). I don't know what the right undergarments are to wear with a backless dress (because I didn't wear a bra) but I would certainly recommend wearing something. There are darts in the front and, uh, sometimes things don't perfectly align.

Best. Rental. Ever.
Yes, this dress runs small but WOW does it make you feel amazing! I love how the material sucks you in in all the right places and makes jiggly parts look smooth and sexy. Wore this for dinner and a show in Vegas and it was perfect. I'm glad the weather was warm enough to not need tights because I'm not sure it would be comfortable to wear with anything underneath, period. I would happily rent this dress or another Herve Leger again!
There She Goes Dress

Perfect stretch, low neckline
I love the Nicole Miller dresses like this with a spandex-like first layer and lace overlay because it gives you a good shape and hides any curves you may not want to show off. This really is very low cut (for me at least; I never wear low V-necks) and I had to wear a sticky bra to make it work. I would say the color is true to what is shown in my picture, which is more vibrant than the picture shown on the model. It was a nice alternative to the little black dresses that the rest of the girls were wearing at the event.
Such A Duchess Dress

Covered but sexy
This dress is classy but fun. The fabric has a little bit of stretch but won't hug your curves if it's not exactly the right size. I would definitely go a size down for backup...The 6 would have been way too big in the hips if I had to wear it. The sleeves were too long for me, but I just tucked them under (see pic). I thought it looked ok but would have been better if they were a tiny bit shorter. Overall loved the dress, had several compliments on it, and would wear it again!
Dot my Eyes Dress

Good option for a more formal wedding
No doubt about it, this dress is gorgeous. It has a spandex-type later underneath the lace, and both layers have some stretch, which is really nice. It hugs your curves 100% so even though the small technically fit, I went with the medium because I thought it wouldn't ride up as much. The sleeves were a little bit too long for me both in the front and back, so I couldn't wear a regular bra with it. I've never tried a dress on with a fit like this one, but that's also what makes it so special! I don't think anyone else noticed minor fit issues I mentioned above, and I received many compliments. One final note on the quality of the dress: there was a hole right in the front of the dress that I didn't notice until we were on our way to the church. Luckily the pattern of the lace distracted the eye and made it less noticeable, but I was disappointed about the fact that this dress is still in circulation.
