Gorgeous dress but runs small!
This is a beautiful dress but I am so thankful that other reviewers were consistent in recommending sizing up. I an normally a true size 4, but I needed the 6 and it fit me well. It is elegant and classy and was perfect for a dressy dinner event with my husband and his work colleagues.

Runs very small
This is a pretty dress but it runs really small. I took other reviewers' advice and sized up to a 6 (I usually wear a 4) and I couldn't come close to zipping it over my bust (34-D). I think the 8 would be too big everywhere else. Not for full-busted gals, in my opinion.

Runs small and short
I didn't love this. I didn't find it very flattering and it also runs short. I normally wear a 4 and I had to size up to a 6 because I could barely zip the size 4 over my bust (I am a 34-D). The 6 fit fine but it wasn't very flattering (maybe because it was a little loose in the middle) and it also was too short once I put on heels.

A show stopper!
Absolutely stunning dress! My daughter wore this to her senior formal. It was her first time wearing Herve Leger, and I now see what the hype is about. This dress hugs every curve (in a good way). She got compliments all night. She is 5'9" and 125 pounds, and the small was perfect. She tends to wear XS, so this dress definitely runs small.

Very pretty but runs small
This dress was very pretty and would have been fine if the Badgley Mischka gown I had ordered didn't work (but thankfully it did and was fabulous). I normally wear a size 4, but I was having to suck it in to get the 6 zipped up. Once zipped, it was fine though. It is a beautiful gown but didn't have the wow factor of the one that I chose. Also, I am 5'7 and the 6L was the right length with a 4 inch heel.

Stunning and perfect for our gala!
I absolutely love this dress. I am 5'7" and I ordered the 4 long. I chose the long based on other reviews and am so glad that I did. With a 4 inch heel, it was the perfect length. I am a 34-C up top, and although it was a little tight initially getting it to zip (thankfully my hubby was there to help!), the "girls" were not spilling out in the least. The arms, although a tad restrictive, were perfect since I am not a big fan of the jiggle of my upper arms and the dress concealed them perfectly. Once again, RTR provided the perfect outfit for the evening!

Beautiful and elegant
These were perfect for a black tie affair. I wore a simple long black gown and an understated necklace. So these earrings added the perfect amount of bling!

Gorgeous, elegant and so flattering!
I loved this gown and would rent it again. I wore it to a black tie event. It is so flattering because it cinches in at the waist and made me look thinner than I am (a plus!). Plus, it hid my arms (which are not as toned as they used to be!) and accentuated my neckline. My bust is on the larger side, and often size 4 dresses fit me everywhere but on top. But this dress was perfect!

Gorgeous!
Fit pefectly and was chic and stunning. I wore the size 4 and am 5'7" and 127 pounds. I am on the busty side (34D) but I did not feel like I was spilling out of the dress or showing too much skin! The length was perfect with 3.5 inch heels.

Stunning!
This was my first experience with RTR. I rented this dress for my high-school daughter's winter formal and the dress was stunning. She loved it! It was a on the shorter side (she is 5'8) but not inappropriate. The only complaint I have is that I ordered 2 dress sizes and I returned both in the mailing envelope provided within the 4 day timeframe. A week later I got a "late returns notification" email from RTR saying that one of the dresses I ordered had not been returned. I emailed RTR and called several times, and each time I was transferred to "collections" where I got a recorded message that no one was available at that time. I called again and insisted that I speak with someone about the issue, and I was told that I would not be charged, since sometimes dresses that are returned don't get properly "scanned in" but that "it doesn't happen too often." RTR did not charge me for the dress, but after this experience, I am hesitant to rent again.

I loved these earrings. They were suggested to go with the dress I rented, and they were perfect. They are not heavy or too big - the perfect size. Highly recommend!
