Stylist Notes
Product Details
Size & Fit

Step out in style in Helmut Lang's modern twist on a classic shift. The draped neckline adds drama to a simple silhouette with a monochromatic color scheme that is anything but boring.

Overall, great first experience with RTR

Size worn: 10

Overall fit: Small

Very pretty dress, ran very small and was much more sheer than I expected. I needed it for a photo shoot where we wore neutrals; however, I may have been uncomfortable with the sheer fabric and snug fit if I had gone out in public.

Beautiful dress just not white

Size worn: 2

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

The dress fits and looks great but I ordered it for an All White Party and it's cream. Very trendy and stylish just shouldn't be considered white.

So many compliments!

Size worn: 10

This came as my second dress option and I picked a winner! I wasn't thrilled with it at first; I thought it was going to be a thicker material and would include a zipper but after putting it on with myheels and a high sock bun, it was HOT! I wore it for a bachelorette party and I recieved compliments from my friends and from lots of people while we were out. I thought it was a little snug from my waist down and a little loose on the top but Spanx and a pushup bra fixed those issues. The neckline is made of a sheer fabric so it does take a little styling during the night to keep it the way you want but other than that, it proved to be a great pick for a girls night out. I would definitely rent this again!

Summer day wedding dress

Size worn: 4

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

Loved the way the dress fit - I'm also a huge fan of Helmut Lang. The dress is subtle and original and I got a lot of compliments. The only reason why I didn't give it 5 stars is because it was VERY sheer. You have to wear a nude slip under the dress (something I had to run out and buy) because otherwise you can see right through the front of this dress.

I am 5'4" and 120 pounds. I wore the size 4 and it was snug, but not vulgar. I loved it. Though the size 4 came with a built in slip, the size 6 didn't seem to include one. I would definitely rent it again.

this dress is actually just a scarf. first of all im a 4, sometimes a 6, and rarely a 2, and this dress was far too big and long on me. it went down to my knees. also, i dont know what this model is wearing underneath the dress but its something because its far to shear to wear alone, you can see everything. also the tan color is MUCH darker in person.

LOVE! I wore this to a black tie event and added some bling with jewelry to dress it up. It was super comfortable and very flattering...I think it would be flattering on many body types. I am 115lbs, petite and proportionally curvy. I went with a size 4, although the size 2 also fit and I would have worn that if it was the only size I had, but I felt the 4 was a little less clingy on the lower half of my body.

This dress was small, it was also completely see thru! I don't know if it was missing a sheath underneath when it was sent to me but I couldn't wear it. RtR wasn't helpful at all, I tried to call and email and never got a response until after the weekend and I had already sent it back on my own dine so I wouldn't be charged. They still charged me because I rented another dress. It was my birthday weekend and had several events to go to! I had to wear something out of my closet instead of this dress!

Nice dress - great for shorter women and warmer weather. I will probably rent it again in the spring.

I ordered this dress specifically for my wedding! It wears so beautiful and fits so lovely you can't help but feel gorgeous and femineme I'm 5'7 and wore a size 2 which was perfection and made my legs look amazing! I wore it with nude platform closed toe for a very classic look. Diamond earrings and a new diamond ring were the order of the day. My husband didn't know until afterwards that it was rented and loved the fact that I'm not only stylish but not foolish about money. I can't thank you enough for making "my day" so perfect by allowing me to feel so beautiful in this amazing body fitting dress.

I never imagined that a nude figure hugging dress could be so flattering. The cut, draping, and shading are perfection. Wore with my leather jacket.

I was worried that this dress would be too fitted for my curvy frame, but it couldn't have fit better! The ombre overlay does a great job of hiding trouble spots. Wearing it, I felt classic but edgy and very confident!

The subtle shoulder detail and ombre effect on this dress makes it super cool and modern but not overdone. The dress fit perfectly!
