This dress fits true to size!! I am a size 0 and it fit perfectly. I had to wear a strapless slip underneath because the definition of the bra showed. and so did pasties.I used double stick tape for the straps(which i recommend), I got lots of compliments!!

Overall fit: True to Size

The 10 fit great, but I was worried about the arm wholes as they were a little big and I would occasionally have to adjust to make sure the side of my breast wasn't showing. The dress is a great color and the fabric is stretchy. Other than that the dress was perfect! When I first opened the box I wasn't sure if I liked the dress, but as soon as I put it on I knew it would be amazing! It's truly a classic! I will definitely rent this dress again! Thank you RTR for a wonderful dress!

Gorgeous Dress! Compliments all night!
Size worn: 6
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
Perfect dress!! I can't stop smiling over how amazing this dress is in person. The color is vibrant and pops and it fits perfectly. It is definitely a snug body con dress so if you are body concious I would opt for a different type of dress. You can wear this dress multiple ways but i left it off the shoulders. While I was dancing the straps slight would ride up but not enough to bother me. I would highly recommend this dress for a night out on the towm, dinner, or wedding...you will feel beautiful!

Gorgeous color, amazing fit and looked great with my skin tone.
Size worn: 8
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
Originally ordered a different dress then promptly changed my mind, I emailed RTR and Emily got in touch with me the very next morning. I was lucky enough that the Halston dress was available in my size. I wanted a sz 6 but Emily said the dress runs small so an 8 it was. The dress was made of stretchy fabric, it looked meh on the hanger but as soon as I put it on it looked and felt amazing. It was true to size, I could've fit in the 6 but would've looked like a stuffed sausage. The 8 was perfect (thanks Emily!). It was perfect for the gala I went to, it was very comfortable and most importantly, I could breathe! I would have given it a 5, except the sleeves kept riding up and not staying put where I wanted them to be. So I kept fussing with it all night. I have no idea if a double stick tape would have worked, but I mean, other than that it was PERFECT! Thanks RTR!

This dress is a perfect mix of classy & sexy
Size worn: 6
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
I tend to find that HH runs smaller than other brands and I usually size between a 4-6. If you are in between sizes, I would recommend sizing up. This HH dress allows for you to alternate styles - creating a different neckline and look each time. i went with the classic winner, off the shoulders so that I could pair it with my favorite Kenneth Jay Lane Clear Drop Earrings (a loved rental, later purchased) to make that statement I wanted without taking away a single ounce of class. I recommend if you are body conscious in any way, to wear Spanx, and still be ready to show some curves- not as much as a bandage but the material is slightly revealing. Bust size was a non issue and neither was length for me. The only down fall that I would point out, is that the ability to style the dress 3 different ways makes it hard to do a lot of activity i.e. dancing and keep the dress positioned where you want it. The off the shoulder look rides up & the back of the dress may bunch with movement. In my opinion, this dress is better suited for a cocktail event rather than, say, a wedding. All in all, I loved the dress and received tons of compliments. I would absolutely rent in the future and try pairing it with different jewelry, shoes, and bag to complete an entirely different look.

I ended up wearing my second style dress to the Valentine's Day Party I went to, but only because the other dress was a little more "office party appropriate." This dress is SEXY!!!! Wear it out for your boyfriend or husband. Render him speechless all night long. I will rent this one again! It does run small, this was the first time my back up size fit (I rented a zero and a two, and the two fit better.

This dress runs a tad small, so opt for a size up. I usually wear a size 2, sometimes even a size 0, and I ended up going with a size 4. It was very comfortable and fits to your shape. I highly recommend this dress.

It was a great color!
Size worn: 2
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Wedding
I usually wear a 0 but this dress felt very tight in a 0 to the point where I didn't think I could sit comfortably at the wedding or dance! So I wore the 2 instead but it was a little bit too big and started bunching up at the wedding in the middle area. If I had worn the 0, it might have stretched out through the night but it was so uncomfortable when I tried it on that I didn't want to take the risk! It still looked very nice but I wasn't the most comfortable in either size.

backup dress
Size worn: 4
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Wedding
I rented this for a backup dress but I ended up wearing the Nicole Miller long sleeved lace dress (perfect!). This dress was a bit plain and fit odd. I was underwhelmed by the fit, and it looked a bit cheap on me. However, I have to say it looked beautiful on some of the other girls in the reviews and on the model. I couldnt wear this but maybe a girl with skinnier arms would be more flattered.

Overall fit: Small

I ordered the dress in both size 6 and 8 for a ballet. I tried on the 8 first and realized that the 6 would have been much too small. I'm normally a perfect 6 with a small bust and curves and thighs so that was surprising. The dress fit tight around my curves so I suggest Spanx and a strapless bra. This dress will turn heads so be prepared. I'd definitely rent from Rent The Runway again.

wore this to my law firm's christmas party. being in denver, it was a little bit dressy for the occasion but it was stunning. the dress has an amazing fit -- super flattering and the fabric is taut so it feels a lot like shapewear. the other commenters' remarks on the shoulder is definitely true. it gets a little annoying pulling it down, and the fashion tape i had definitely did not hold it down enough to take care of the problem. but that being said, it stayed in place unless i was dancing too crazy (i even ended up going to a ping pong bar afterwards and it was fine). plus you can wear the sleeves a few different ways. anyway, i loved the fabric and it was super flattering, shape, fit, and color. would definitely recommend!!

I ordered the 4 and the 6 - both fit. The snugness of the 4 worked better for me though without spandex I'm more comfortable in a 6 (I'm older). The shoulder line/strap was challenging but controllable. I got compliments.

Size worn: 0
Overall fit: Large

I am usually a solid 2 but the 0 fit nicely and I was able to wear that size. To be honest, I wore the dress wrong! I taped down the top of it because I thought the band was too big but it would have worked just fine either way. The dress was a beautiful deep color of red and was in great condition. I also paired it with sparkly j.crew necklace. This was my boyfriend's favorite dress that I rented from RTR . Highly recommend for a sophisticated night out!

I felt like a bombshell in this red little number! I typically wear a size 0, but this one ran a little smaller and a 2 fit like a glove. I am 5'1 and the dress was short enough to be sexy, yet long enough to be classy. Overall, a great combination. I wish these type of dresses would come in more colors!

Not right for the venue
Size worn: None
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
I didn't end up getting my second size and the 4 was just a tad too short, too tight and ill fitting in the arm area for my frame. I'm 5' 11" and was planning to wear this to a company Holiday Party. I felt just a little too exposed with the dress being so tight (in a good way for my hubby), too short and off the shoulder. I think if I had the size 6 I would have felt a bit more comfortable. That all being said it is very pretty and this was the dress my husband REALLY wanted me to wear. I think I'll try the size 6 for a date night soon.

Unfortunately the dress ended up being inappropriate for my boyfriend's work party since it was shorter on me than the model. I'm going to put it on being a little bustier and having more in back than the gorgeous model. It did look great and I definitely would have worn it had it been a different event! It really hugs your body though, but the fabric isn't quite as forgiving as Herve so be prepared to Spanx it up.

Great dress - super easy to wear
Size worn: 6
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
This dress is awesome. It's very comfortable and easy to wear. The off the shoulder look is daring, but not too scandalous. The fabric is thick and the dress is very well constructed. I would recommend a little shapewear - like I said, the fabric is thick, but not thick enough to hold everything in place. I've never worn spanx, even when I've gotten Herve, and I definitely needed some for this dress. Last but not least, be careful with the armholes in photos. If you're not careful, they expose some side-boob, which may not be appropriate for all settings. Otherwise, great dress; wanted to keep it.

I rented this dress as a back-up dress and although it is very nice on a form-fitting, the top is a little bit of a pain. I would recommend if you have any type of bust you MUST have fashion tape on hand to keep it in place in the folded-over position as seen in the picture.

Its a beautiful dress, but the the arm piece that connects to the dress leaves a lots of space open on anyone who has a substantial sized chest i didnt wear it because i didnt feel the dress was very flatterin on me. But i think if you have a smaler bust then this dress would be amazing.

Dress is a slim fit. I am 5"11 and it was a great length for me! The off the shoulder style was so fun. I wore my hair up and a big necklace...it all came together beautifully. Dress is comfortable. I normally wear a size 6 and I got a size 6 and 8...I wore the 6. This was my first experience with RTR and it was great! I have another event coming up and plan to do this all again! Thank you!
