Perfect for my post-wedding brunch!

This dress runs a little small in the waist so I was glad I ordered 2 sizes. Ended up going with the 2 instead of 0 to give myself a little more flexibility. The material is light-weight so I would recommend wearing a bra - I used the nu-bra which was perfect. The dress was a little short when sitting down but otherwise great for my height. I received a ton of compliments on the style and fit. Great dress, I would definitely rent this again or even purchase it if it goes on sale.

Super sparkly and fun - longer than it looks

Rented this dress for my bachelorette but unfortunately couldn't wear it. I received this dress in an XS and S but ended up returning them both because they were too difficult to get on - and the sequins made it super itchy. The dress was also longer than expected, coming down to just below my knees. Too bad because it's such a fun dress!

Nice material but runs large!

This dress has a very deep, nice color and is well-made. However I couldn't wear it because it was too big and as a result looked fairly unattractive on my frame.

Perfect for a date

This dress is beautiful. I rented it for my engagement photos and I am so happy that I did. It's a true navy, with lovely intricate lace. It was perfect for the occasion and I even wore it to dinner afterwards. I'd definitely rent this dress again. Fits true to size. The sleeves can be a little tight but the body of the dress is very similar to a shift dress. This dress is short so I'd recommend trying two sizes at home and sitting down in them to make sure you're comfortable with the length. Add a statement necklace and voila!

Sexy dress, great color

I'm petite so I ordered the XS and S. The XS was too tight but the S fit very well. I have a small bust and was able to fit a strapless bra underneath comfortably. The neckline was conservative and the dress hit mid-thigh. The dress fits tightly but there's enough stretch that I wasn't uncomfortable. There's also a strip of silicon around the hem and on the shoulders, so the dress didn't ride up, and the straps stayed put. The color of the dress is a wonderful deep blue, with a bit of sheen. I paired it with nude heels and white gold jewelry which looked very elegant. Overall I loved this dress and would highly recommend it, or other Herve Leger dresses that have the same fit.

So glamorous!

This dress is gorgeous! I wore it for my engagement photos and received a ton of compliments during our shoot. One little girl even commented that I looked "like a princess"! This dress fits true to size. The bodice has a built in bra and the zipper is a little sticky so you may need a little help to get zipped up. The only disappointment for me was that the dress was too long - I wore 4" heels and I still felt I needed to be very careful when walking as to not slip. Otherwise this dress is amazing - sexy yet elegant.

Perfect for a cocktail party

Wore this dress to a wedding requesting cocktail attire. The style, vibrant color, and intricate beading detail was beautiful -- I received numerous compliments and definitely stood out amongst the crowd. This dress is best for women with a small bust - the built-in bra is more like a built-in corset, so it is very tight throughout the chest and mid-section. Overall I would rent this dress again but renters beware - it runs small - I usually wear a 2 but had to go up a size in order to zip up the dress all the way.
