Darling style, but sweat will stain.
I LOVE the style of this dress, particularly as a smaller waisted busty girl. It was comfortable and flattering, though I wish I had ordered one size down especially given tank’s stretch, as it wasn’t totally fitted on my waist. I considered purchasing, however I noticed that when wearing the dress on hot days, sweat would pool under the boobs and at the waist, noticeable when wet then leaving visible sweat discoloration on the tank top part of the dress. It came out easily when rinsed with water. Tank is cut a hair narrow to fully conceal a regular bra - racer back would be ideal.

Very cute, versatile top
Cute top, as depicted in photo. I should’ve sized down at least one size, as I had a little room in the bust (32G/2-4 bottoms) and the shoulders kept slipping down, which made it a little annoying. I liked this best with a skirt but it looked cute with white linen pants as well. Not sure the large sleeves are most flattering for my shape, personally.

Breezy, versatile summer frock
100% cotton with tented design made this practical and fashionable for euro summer. Paired with sneakers during day, heeled sandals for night and it worked great for both. I may have been able to size down for less skirt, but this size was good for my bust. The fitted nature around the bust creating some structure to the neckline does a nice job preventing this from being TOO tented. Would consider purchasing after feeling out its utility.

Strange fit, very inflexible material
Not the right fit for me. Squeezed my bust a bit too much, given lack of stretch. Material didn’t strike me as breathable. Perhaps would’ve been better a size up, but think this is just a miss for me personally. Liked the structure of the piece overall otherwise.

I understand why people say this looks childish…
This dress fit very strange. Perhaps I could’ve ordered a size larger or it’s simply not my style, but it was quite unflattering. VERY short, kind of poofy, the smocked top not cute on a busty gal like myself. This was a miss, cute design though.

Perfect summer dress - can style up or down
LOVED this dress and considered keeping it. Natural materials helped keep it cool and breezy for euro summer heat. Style was very flattering with a nice tapered waist and just the right amount of flow to the skirt. Straps were slightly long. Overall amazing summer rental.

A little workwear-looking
This top was…fine. I’m busty and it was still a hair large on me with the fit of it being a little workwear-looking vs cute and casual (though prob a hair revealing for me to wear to work, personally). Didn’t end up wearing.

Lovely Dress
I love this dress. I rented this last summer but didn't get to wear. It's a lovely summer wedding guest dress that does look properly greenish in person. It lays beautifully and doesn't cling as much as other silk/satin dresses. I possibly could've gone with a 4 but liked how the 6 laid. I'm quite gusty and this surprisingly concealed my bra fairly well with no pinning. Only caution: it's pretty see through, so finding proper underwear with it is challenging. I wore a nude lace thong, as even seamless nude panties could be seen in natural light.

Elevated casual dress that is comfy but so flattering
LOVE this dress and considering a purchase. Weighty t-shirt dress whose shape and sculptural elements serve to elevate. Paired with this adorable Staud bag for a fun daytime birthday party look that was comfy and chic. I am busty with a smaller waist and really appreciated the waist cinching.

Love this versatile dress!
Great cut and fit -- the adjustable slit is genius and helps vary the look of the dress a bit. The dress is very fitted and honestly slightly less flattering than expected in the tummy area given the ruching from the slit snaps. That said, the material on the dress allows for an attractive fit. I loved the top with the back snap allowing for a snug fit. Very comfortable dress for day to night. Would rent again and consider purchase if not for the astronomical price as I could see many use cases for this piece. The dress is well constructed and the material is heavy, but the price would be hard to justify.

Such a cute, playful dress
This dress is incredibly pretty and playful. I loved the detail of the stitching, it felt very well made, and I was surprised how flattering it looked given the knit material. The weight of the dress is a blessing and a curse -- I think it's a large part of what makes this dress high quality and flattering, but it makes the dress very heavy causing it to stretch (literally by 1-2 inches by the end of a full day of wear) and lose some shape (I have a large bust and felt that as it lost shape, my waist was less defined in the dress). The dress is overall comfortable and I loved it with sneakers and a classic Burberry trench when the weather called for it. Overall , I'd rent this dress again and wish I could've found cause to wear it again during my trip. I wanted to prolong the day to keep it on!

Versatile, amazing fit.
I LOVED how this dress fit my body. It's not very thick and stretches a bit throughout the day but it's a great dress. Wore it with tights for work and would gladly go without for weekend use.

Perfect fit. Different but understated.
These pants fit me perfectly. I wish I could rent/buy them in 5 different colors and prints. With a white top and nude heels, this was a perfect power outfit for work.

It's a great blouse that can be worn more casually or in a creative/business casual work environment
The ruffle makes the fit a tiny bit odd, especially if you have a bigger chest. Regardless though, it's a great top.

Stand Out
As someone with a very large bust but smaller body, this dress fit like a glove. Hervé dresses are the only ones I can ever wear without a bra and this was no different. I looked and felt amazing all night. One thing to note, the dress is on the longer side. I'm 5'5"-5'6" and wearing 6ish inch heels it skimmed the floor and felt like the perfect length.
