Wear shapewear.
This was super cute. As others have said, you’ll want to wear shapewear for clean lines, it does show every curve. Heavy, thick, material and beautiful color.

Lovely - size down.
I have boobs / a long torso. I sized down so the bodice fit more snugly, and this was perfect for me. I was able to wear it without a bra which worked well with the cut of it. I don’t typically go braless, but felt comfortable in this. I would guess that a lot of the fit issues people are having is due to it running large. The one star review saying this dress was “designed for the world-record holder for longest torso” was the one that convinced me to order. Although honestly, it kind of hit my waist where most dresses do.

Not cute
This was just - weird. Way too big, oddly cut. The funky colors may have worked if everything else did, but this was a definite no for me.

Perfect light flannel
It's red, but definitely more of a pinky-red. Super soft and cozy - I purchased this one.

Funky / fun
These were lower-rise than I usually wear and very bold. It was fun to play with a different look. I'm usually between a 25 and a 26 and the 26 was a good size for me. Comfortable, but either my body is lopsided or the garment was uneven, because the butt seam wanted to be slightly off center, which I don't typically have a problem with. Not super noticeable though.

Obsessed - had to buy.
I always have a really hard time finding pants that fit well, especially high-waisted - these are so flattering. Had to buy.

Baggier than they look
I got a 0 - I usually am a 0/00, depending. I figured a baggier fit than what was on the model would be cute, but they already are intended to be baggy, so this was a mistake. The 00 would have been a better choice and still way baggier than pictured for someone my height / size. Definitely a Harem pants style jogger. Comfy though.

Loved it
Didn't end up wearing for my event because another dress worked better for the theme, but this was my date's favorite. "Classy" was his descriptor. I loved the back, very versatile dress. Hugs everything in the way that all Herve Leger dresses do, and works well with a long torso.

Bought it
This is my fourth Herve that I've rented, and my favorite. I ended up buying it when I realized that with items in my closet already, I could easily style it down for a more casual look too. I'm not usually a pink person, but the dusty pink color is lovely. I love the bodycon dresses for my long torso.

Awesome Dress - get fashion tape
This was a great dress for me. I have a super long torso so the tight fit throughout the lower half was perfect for me - I often end up with loose fabric around my lower back where my butt "should" be. Definitely need some fashion tape for the top to keep everything in place though. The dress is pretty wide through the shoulders and you will show a ton of cleavage. I was going to try a small and an extra small but only the small was available, so I just took a gamble. It fit well, though I wonder if the extra small would have given a more secure fit around the top (if I could have squeezed into the rest of it). I ended up not being able to wear it to my event because there was a color theme I missed the first time I looked at the invite, but I definitely am planning to rent it again sometime.
