Wore this dress to my cousin's wedding and couldn't be happier with the decision. This dress is incredibly classy and elegant as well as wildly comfortable-not only is the fabric fabulously luxurious, but also it is not in the least restricting; I was able to dance the night away with ease! As with all Herve Leger, this is a body con tight fitting dress, but I found this one *slightly* more forgiving than others. Rent this one-you won't be sorry! 

This dress was amazing!  I love grey and this was a great way to wear it and still stand out.  The only size available was an extra small so I went for it knowing this dress was already going to be tight in my normal size (small) but with a little extra help I was able to get it zipped.  I wore the dress for a night out in Las Vegas and I was so comfortable despite the constricting fabric, walking all over, and dancing for hours in night clubs.  I would highly recommend this dress.

I rented this for a party during Kentucky Derby weekend and got so many compliments! The top had been stretched out a little but it was an issue and the dress fit perfectly otherwise. It made me feel like a million bucks!

I already wrote a review on this before, but I don't think the picture came out properly so wanted you all to see exactly how perfect this dress is. I wore it to dinner with my boyfriend and he could not stop complementing and touching me! This dress is a showstopper ladies. It is great quality, tight enough where you don't need a bra, sucks everything in and makes you look like you have the most perfect figure. It's sexy without having to show much skin.

I've always wanted to wear this dress and finally got the chance at a black tie optional wedding. It's meant to be tight so if you aren't comfortable wearing tight, this is not the dress for you. Or maybe it is! Although tight fitted, it is so comfortable and easy to move in. The length was perfect- just above the knee. I didn't need a bra but choose to wear one for extra support. LOVED!

This dress really forms to the body well. Got plenty of complements. There were ladies in their 20s to 50s that asked where I got the dress. Versatile! I didn't like how the bottom was stretched out though. It was a tad bit wavy on the edges, but other than that, great dress!

I rented this for a Vegas casino wedding.   While picking for my rental dates, small was the only size left, but after reading other reviews I decided to go for it anyway.

This dress is skintight but the material is thick enough it holds you in well.  I'm actually afraid had I gotten the medium it would have been to big in the bust.  Even though it's tight, it's long enough and not revealing in the chest.  I felt completely comfortable dancing in it at the reception all night. The gradient grays dress up or down, and the darkest shades of gray are smartly placed right in the midriff region ;).

I got tons of compliments, and my boyfriend said it was one of the best dresses I'd ever worn.  Too bad it's a Herve leger and I can't keep it forever!

This was my first HL rental and it fit to a T and made me feel like a knock-out. Loved the dress and had such a hard time returning it. Fits tight as it should but is breathable. Did not wear a bra and the girls were held up very nicely and stayed inside all night. 

This dress was fantastic! So beautiful and different. It was formal without being overly dressy for a cocktail attire wedding. I got so many compliments. 

It does run a bit small. I typically wear a 0, so I ordered the XS. There is almost no give in the fabric, so it took a little bit of work to get everything in :). It ended up working out and it made my body look banging!!

I've always wanted to try a Herve dress, bucket list moment people. Got this dress after the original dress I selected was damaged. Debated wearing it, decided to go for it and strangers all night were saying how much they love it. This dress is a statement, and you will not go quietly into the night with this one. 

I wasn't so sure about this dress because of the one strap.  But I put it on and loved it!  

I loved this dress. The large was a little big for me, but the medium wasn't available and I think I'm the only one that noticed. The length is great for tall girls. The material is really thick and holds everything in. I wore a strapless bra, but probably could have gone braless

Loved this dress and received compliments all night long! It does run a little small but that is to be expected with a bandage dress. It was also a bit longer than I would like on my 5' 4" frame so I used double sided tape to adjust the hem. Overall a great dress and I would rent it again! 

I wore this dress for our annual holiday party. It was perfect and I love the color. Runs really small. 

Fitted like a glove, looked amazing and i got so many compliments! 

This dress was very form fitting I had to wear spanks underneath. I was a little bit disappointed of the quality of the fabric and there was a light stain on the chest area but you could barely see it so I wore the dress anyway. You could tell the dress has been worn a couple of times because it was stretched out in certain places. Overall I enjoyed the dress I just expected more for the price I paid to rent it. 

Absolutely LOVE this dress! Definitely didn't want to send it back... Bandage dresses are always tight and this one is no different, snug but true to size. Glad I had a helper to zip me up! Tons of compliments. Sparkly shoes with it are a must!

I'm a size 0/00 and this dress fit me perfectly. It's super snug but I was able to wear a strapless bra underneath. I got a ton of compliments and would even consider buying the dress.

I couldn't zip the XS on my own, so I opted for the small. The length was great on my 5'7" frame and offset the sexy cling of the dress. The S did seem to stretch out as the night went on with wear, but never looked loose. I was comfortable sitting and dancing alike. Highly recommend!

I'm 5'7 and 138 lbs, and I wore a size Small and it was PERFECT. The top covered my whole chest, and the length came almost to to the top of my knees, so it was classy even though it was skin-tight! I was able to dance all night without it moving. I am a huge fan of the HL dresses, and am consistent with his sizing. The ombre of the silver to the charcoal at the waist is PERFECT for helping you have that hourglass shape!

My first dress from RTR and it was a great experience overall I had originally picked a similar dress but it wasn't available a day before so they send me two choices and I picked this one. Very stretchy, but I wish it would have been a little tighter on me to hold me in all the right places. The length was just perfect right above my knee (appropriate for any formal event) I wouldn't have chosen any other dress because overall it's a beautiful dress! If you are curvy like me I suggest you go one size down just so it could mold you! 

Ordered a small and medium. The medium had either been marked wrong, shrunken or had been altered because it was smaller than the small.  So since I had no choice I wore the small. It fit tight but comfortable because the fabric is very stretchy. It is supposed to fit tight, so this dress is not for anyone that is looking to hide imperfections, a pouch in the belly or any other bumps because you see them all.  I think I may have gone with the medium had it been a true medium, just to give me a little more room. 
Regardless, I received lots of compliments and felt really good in it. Great first experience using RTR - will definitely do it again. 

Although the the dress is tight it really does flatter all of your assets!
It is on the more grey scale you can look more washed out so be mindful of that

Very form fitting dress, but with thick fabric. The ombre is very flattering. Great dress for formal events!

Fits snug!! Definitely size up...I don't deviate from wearing a size 4.  The size small was TINY.  I went with a medium.  It fits like a glove!

This dress runs small, I ordered med and large and wore the large, great fit just make sure the zipper is lined up in the back it can turn, also pose for pics with one leg forward to stretch the crease so it doesn't fold at the bottom. 

Very vintage glam! It's very snug and unforgiving. The dress is made of heavy material that helps "control" things :) 

Wore this dress to my rehearsal dinner and received many compliments. It fit true to size. I am 5'4'', 110 pounds and typically wear a size 2. Size small fit well. No need for Spanx when you're wearing these dresses. 

This dress is stunning.  Both the small and medium fit, however I chose the medium for comfort. I used fashion tape to shorten the dress by one band for the perfect length. 

The fabric holds you in. If you wear spanx, you will be able to see the seam down the front. Get a seamless tummy panel!

Great quality material, fits like a glove in all the right places, makes the booty pop :) 

I thought overall the dress was beautiful and would recommend it. I have an hourglass shape so the small was too tiny. The medium fit well except in the small of my waist, where it didn't hug like the rest of the dress did.  Lastly, this dress is long (almost to the knee), so I would recommend if you are petite (like me) that you are aware of this for the type of event you are going to. 

Fit was great! Ive never received so many compliments. I lost count of how many people stopped to ask me about the dress. I was sad to send it back. Even though the dress holds you in I still wore something underneath just for a piece of mind. Can't wait to wear it again!

herve leger dresses are my very favorite, as they always fit so beautifully and feel so good.  the fabric is heavy and the dress is weighty.  it goes on very tight, but once the material warms up, it stretches perfectly to fit my body, and is so easy to wear.  no spanx, no bra -- this dress just holds everything right where it should be.  the ombre greys are gorgeous, and having the darkest color at the waist is brilliant.  

Usually wear size 2 but got the medium and happy I did. The size small was damaged beyond repair so RTR sent me another dress in size s ( same designer and same fabric but was very snug). This dress fit well 

Hard to zip, needed a friends help. But once I got it on I loved it. Sucks you in in all the best ways. Very comfortable. So many compliments.

This dress was amazing & I wish I could keep it! I felt/looked sexy and confident. Could have worn either size but the medium was a little large in the chest for me, so I wore the small. No need for anything underneath, these dresses hold everything where it's supposed to be!
