Flattering and Sophisticated
I received so many compliments on this dress. A) It looks like vintage Halston. B) It makes you look long and lean. The neckline is super flattering- I am busty and try to downplay it and somehow this low V covers them up and shows skin at the same time. If you're also a busty gal who dreams of having fashun boobs, rent this dress!

Simple silhouette that can dress up or down
This was a nice dress for a summer day; it can go casual with flats or dressier with heels and accessories. I liked the silk fabrication and adjustable should straps. As others have said, the snap on the bias neckline has a tendency to pop open. I wore a bandeau bra underneath to avoid any embarrassment. I wasn't fond of the elasticized waist ( I think it looks cheap) and there were some extra ruffles on the bust and running vertically near the stomach that I think made me look slightly bigger than I am. So not necessarily the most flattering if you want to downplay those areas.

Pretty but not flattering
I wasn't thrilled with this one and ended up not wearing it. I felt that the waistline was not very flattering. I have a smallish waist for my size but this made me look thick in the middle. Also, the top was too small and fully zipped, I felt my skin bulging out around the seams. I'm 34 DD, 35/26/37 for reference.

So much more than an LBD
This is a gorgeous dress, the detailing of the scalloped layers is so eye catching. It's super heavy, so it swings a bit when you walk. I was at an outdoor party in about 80 degree weather and I was completely comfortable despite how heavy the material is. I got compliments galore and I will definitely wear a few more times before I return (rented this on Unlimited). I am 5'7" 35/26/37 and this was neither too short or too clingy. If I wanted it to be more "going out sexy", I may have chosen to go with the size S.

Color Makes It A Stand Out
The flame red color is really eye catching. I am fair with neutral undertones and platinum hair and this color was very flattering on me. I think it would also look great for girls with a tan and girls of color. I am 5'7", 35/26/37 and the length was perfect, but it did run large. I am typically a 4-6 depending on the designer and I should have gone with the 2. I liked that it wasn't too clingy but there was a bit of bunching around the lower stomach due to the extra material- I think it would have been more flattering in the next size down.

Caught in the Crossfire Dress

Beautiful color, flattering cut
The dress is beautifully crafted, even by Herve Leger standards. The tucked layers on the skirt are gorgeous. It's also very flattering, particularly to your waist- it really nips you in. Ultimately I didn't end up wearing because it was more cleavage than I am comfortable with (34DD and I try not to show them off). If you are a smaller cup size, or like showcasing your cleavage, this shouldn't be a problem for you. I think the length was just right for a mini dress and was true to size (I am 5"7", 35/26/37 for reference).

So Flipping Cute Dress

Beautiful but small
Loved the look of this bag but it's very small and the interior shape is awkward, making it difficult to fit very much inside. Will not fit a standard long wallet.

Lots of compliments here
I work in a fashion office so this is work appropriate for me- I got lots of compliments from my designers and coworkers. Probably not so appropriate for more conservative environments (I decided against wearing this to dinner with my boyfriend's mother). It's definitely sexy. Be prepared though, It's not super comfortable and you will feel it on you all day. Also runs quite small. I think I have a pretty average size neck and this was very tight on the middle clasp, not much better on the first clasp. I've been obsessing over the size of my neck every since I put it on.....
