Complements galore!
This dress is perfect all around. It's very light, extra stretchy and incredibly comfortable to wear. I would not wear it to work as it is too casual, but it's a great vacation or summer dress. I received a ton of compliments all day. Dress does a great job hiding unpleasant areas.

Incredibly itchy dress and showing wear in the sleeves. Otherwise, it's easy to wear for a pregnant woman in 3rd trimester.

Very interesting item due to the cut. Fit really well and had enough give to move around easily. Worked for a full busted girl.

Nothing fancy, staple piece. Not a very memorable item, but easy to move around in (stretchy material). It was pretty long, so I had to fold it over once. I don't regret ordering it, although I wouldn't order it again.

Dress was not very flattering in the hip area and the material felt and looked cheap.

Great for nursing mothers!
This is a great option for a nursing mother and working professional. I don't see a way for anyone with a full bust to wear it without a cami (that is, without exposing half your rack). The material was comfortable, although the sleeves were a bit tight. The biggest con is consistent across all wrap dresses, you have to watch how you sit at all times and you better hope its not windy outside. Dress falls right around the knee for me. With high heels, the length was not too bad.

Workable Dress
As a nursing mother, I gravitate towards outfits that facilitate nursing and pumping. With that in mind, this dress is perfect. The part that I don't like about wrap dresses in general is constantly worrying that I'm exposing too much leg and whatnot based on how I sit or move or the stray blow of the wind. Other than the above, the material is nice and comfortable. The dress looks very professional (paired with a cami to hide my full bust). The length is appropriate for a conservative office. Overall, I would say it's a nice piece.

Very professional look
The skirt fit really well and was a nice pick for a conservative office. It hit me slightly below the knee, which worked for me. The only con was that the skirt didn't have much give which made it difficult to get in and out of a car (especially an SUV). I paired the skirt with a navy top and navy heels.

I wore this dress to dinner while we were on vacation in Hawaii. While I loved the colors, it wasn't the most flattering fit on me and was shorter than expected. I would not rent this dress again.

As you can see, the dress fits like a glove. It was too short for my taste (the length was noticeable when I walked or sat down). Fun dress to wear with flip flops or wedges.

My honey by my side
The 6 was too tight for me in the rib cage. I could zip it up, but couldn't breathe with it on, so I went with an 8. The 8 ended up being too loose around the rib cage and would bunch up if I leaned over. I would not rent this dress again.

Very form fitting
The dress fit like a glove and was a bit too tight at first but looked great. The material was a bit worn, which I could feel but couldn't see. I'm glad I went with size 2 (something was wrong with size 0), because there is no way I could fit into size 0. The color was really nice for the season too.

Quick Last Minute Solution
I rented this dress because I waited until the last minute to get a dress and this was the only dress that came in my size and was available on the date of the wedding I attended. I think it was acceptable given the circumstances, but it was one of my least favorite rentals. The design of the dress was interesting, however, the fit was less than flattering. The top of the dress is cut in such a way that when I would raise my arms up, you could see a nice portion of the side of my boobs on both sides. Even with my arms down, the top flared out a bit (forcing me to pick on it all night). That made me very self conscious, as I was constantly worried that the dress would twist in such a way as to reveal more than what was intended to be revealed. Given that I attended an Indian wedding, where the dancing involved a lot of jumping up and down and throwing my hands up, it made for a very uncomfortable evening. I ended up wearing a cardigan for most of the evening to tone down the dress. Otherwise, it was generally comfortable and wasn't prohibitively tight or unusually short.

Flattering dress!
Overall I liked the dress, but it has not been the best rental. The color of the dress looks a bit washed out and the dress was ripped a bit at the slit (wasn't worth shipping it back over that). So you could tell its been worn a lot. Despite that, the dress looked great. It accentuated my figure, looked sexy yet classy, was thick enough to not have to wear a bra or dimmers. I think the fit was true to size. It fit just right. I didn't even bother trying on the 2.

Another Herve Hit!
I love Herve dresses and this one did not disappoint. I received plenty of compliments wearing this dress. It was somewhat tough to zip up (specifically in the rib cage area), but once it was on, I did not feel uncomfortable. I tried wearing a bra with this dress, but it kept peeking out in the back, so I gave up and went with dimmers. The dress travelled well and did not require ironing. It was a perfect conservative length. I felt sexy without looking trashy.

Looked great but not perfect
The dress fit nicely on my frame and, as other reviewers have pointed out, really accentuates the back. My only gripes were that the white strings (used to hang the dress) were constantly peeking out and required constant attention and the shoulders were pretty ugly and a bit limiting in terms of movement. As others pointed out, it is also VERY short and does have a tendency to ride up when walking. It does, however, travel well and accentuates a curvy figure. I think that overall it worked for what I had in mind, but I doubt I will rent it again.

Great fit, but takes some major sucking in to zip it up. Once zipped up, it was very comfortable. Perfect for my small frame.

Perfect Dress!
The dress hugged every curve and looked phenomenal on my small frame. I like the fact that I was able to wear a bra with it. The dress is tough to zip up but well worth the struggle.

Boring dress
The fit of the dress was very boring and as soon as I put it on I knew I was not likely to wear it. Very think material. The dress was not flattering moving around.

Fit like a glove!
Had I not known better, I would have thought this dress was tailored for me specifically. It fit just right everywhere. This was my favorite rental by far. It is hard to travel with the dress as it does have a tendency to wrinkle easily, but in all other respects the dress was pure perfection. It was not too short and I did not have any trouble dancing in it at the wedding. It was the perfect summer wedding dress.

Dress starting to show wear. Does not sit well on a petite frame.
I ordered this dress for a bachelorette party, but had to return because it did not fit the color scheme of the party and did not fit well. It was way too long for me. Also the dress would stick out in certain areas when I would turn to right or left. It also would not have done well for any kind of walking or dancing. Also, the inside of the dress is starting to show wear. I am glad I ended up going with a different dress.

You may need help getting the dress zipped up, but once it is on, it fits great.

Great dress for a night on the town!
I ordered an XS fearing that it would not fit. While the fit was tight, it fit just fine and I was able to zip it by myself without an issue. I have a curvy figure and it outlined it nicely. I do, however, wish I had a pair of spanx under that dress as any imperfections were out in the open. The dress was also a bit looser up top (probably stretched out after much use), so I had to use fashion tape to keep it closer to my body. All in all, a great selection.
