This is a lovely dress! It is fitted on top and poofy on the bottom. Because it is hard to hide a strapless bra in this dress, I would recommend wearing a size down and skipping the bra altogether. It's fitted enough that I was comfortable without a bra (I'm a C).

This dress is awesome. Even prettier in person because the fabric is light and soft! The 0 fit me like a glove, and it's tight enough that you don't have to wear a bra (I'm a B). The length was perfectly mid thigh. I wore the dress with black hose like the model and it looked great.

I'm 5'5", 130lbs and 34B. The size 4 fit perfectly and I didn't have to wear a bra with it, just breast petals (bought from Target). This dress probably would be too small on top for very busty women. I wore this to a wedding and got a lot of compliments!

Beautiful dress but runs small. I'm 5'8, 130, 32 C, and I've rented from RTR in the past. I've always ordered a 4 and a 6 and been able to wear one of them. Not with this dress. The 6 wasn't even close to zipping up. A lovely dress but I would only recommend it for those with small chests.

Wow! I wore this dress to a wedding and loved it. It was beautiful and fun to dance in because of the full skirt. And it has pockets! Very delicate material -- so much so that it arrived with the material near one of the pockets torn at the seam. I whipped out my sewing kit and stitched it with red thread and no one was the wiser. I do wish RTR had noticed it and fixed it themselves, but...
As far as fit goes, I had no problem with a strapless bra and think my back would have been killing me otherwise. I did have to adjust the strapless side periodically, but it wasn't a big deal. I ordered what I expected to be my size and a size up. The size up was not good; it was just too big -- the waist really needs to be fitted. A size down probably would not have allowed me to zip it over my chest, but might have fit my waist even better.

This is a gorgeous dress that fit wonderfully! It's true to size and the material on the bottom is light and flowing. I am an A and wore a strapless bra with this, because I found that I looked flat without one, due to the tight fit at the top. The color looks even better in person, and is sure to get complimented! Added bonus: there are hidden pockets on both sides of the dress!

I rented this as my backup for homecoming, sizes 4 and 2 for my backup. Both were waay too small, and luckily I had my other dress because I couldn't have fit in it. Order large, because otherwise it's a stunning dress.

Did not disappoint!!
Size worn: 8
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
I've been in love with this dress from the moment I saw it and I was so excited when I finally received it and saw that it was just as beautiful in person! I'm usually a 4 or 6 in dresses like this, so I had ordered a 6 and an 8. The 6 probably would have fit a little better, but unfortuntely they couldn't find it in the warehouse and I had to choose another style in a 6. No complaints on that though because customer service was amazing!! I got a ton of complaints on this dress and I think I changed all of my friends minds who were skeptics about renting a dress in the first place. Next occassion is my work Holiday party and I've already started looking.

After I was able to get myself zipped up with the help of a wire hanger, all was good. This is the second Halston Heritage dress I've rented and they are just so gosh darn cute, but run soooooooooo small! I wore it to a wedding reception and got a lot of compliments for the color, its rich and saves the dress. The dress also has pockets which is nice, and so fun when you spin on the dance floor. I probably won't rent again, but it served its purpsose :-)

This dress is gorgeous and very flirty. It is tight in the bodice as others have mentioned but with some spanx and a good long line strapless bra it fits beautifully.

Truly beautiful gown!
Size worn: 2
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Party
I can't say enough good things about this dress, the fabric, the pockets, the flowiness...it's the perfect combination of sexy, cute & beautiful! I had ordered the 0 which they ran out of (but replaced with another style) I was worried the 2 would be too big (I have a small bust) but it looked great & I wore a little black belt to Cinch the waist!
If your hesitating on this dress - Dont!

Awesome Party Dress
Size worn: 2
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
I rented this dress for an event this winter. The I ordered a size 2, but was worried because the backup size wasn't available. Fortunately the 2 was perfect and was the size that I thought that I would wear anyway. For reference, I am 5'9" and measure 32.5, 26, 35.5. The bodice was fitted, but I had no problem getting into it. I really liked that the arm holes weren't too small. I'm not sure if it's because I am tall and thin, but I generally have problems with arm holes being cut to high. The skirt on this dress is so much fun! The event that I went to involved dancing and luckily the lining on the dress is not as full as the actual skirt, so even when my boyfriend "spun" me, I wasn't exposed. The fabric is super soft and rich in color as well. I'd definitely recommend!

Valentines Day to Remember!
Size worn: 2
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Date
This adorable dress fits the body with the most impeccable fluid looking rouching! This dress is really made my Valentines day and photographed amazingly well too! Perfect for anyone self conscience of either their tummy or hips area, and looks flawless on! I didn't even notice until the night was up, that it had cute little pockets on either side! The strapless side is not too low either, so any regular strapless bra will work, though personally I wore a VS bra that had removable straps to go strapless, and I was able to keep the strap on one side without it peeking out from the dress too! Highly highly highly reccommend! <3

Fun Dress - Very Small

I was relieved to finally get this zipped. The largest of the two sizes ordered was still super snug on my rib cage. This is truly a dress where you should swallow your pride and order up a size! In the end, the dress was fun to wear and dance it and looks beautiful in photos.

Great Dress
Size worn: 8
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
This dress fit amazingly! I could have worn either the 6 or 8 but ended up wearing the 8 because it was in better shape. By the end of prom it had stretched out a tiny bit and the side without the strap started to sag. The pockets are great for holding lipstick or lipgloss, however to get to them you have to navigate through the super flowy layers of silk chiffon. I would be willing to buy this dress as it is a great staple, I would most certainly rent it again if I don't end up buying it!

Perfect dress
Size worn: 2
Overall fit: True to Size

This dress fit very well, although I think I could have gone with a smaller size since the dress loosens up a little after wearing it for a while. On a smaller person like me, the dress is much longer than it looks on the model, it hit me a little above the knee, but I thought it still looked good that way. The flair at the bottom is so pretty.

WAY TOO SMALL!
Size worn: 4
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Party
I'm a 4, and I fit into (almost) any designer as a 4, but this dress wouldn't even come close to zipping up. They didn't have a 6 available so I was left scrambling for a dress for my birthday last minute. I was sad because the dress looked super cute and flirty. The color and fabric was beautiful so I'd recommend it to people. Beware though, you'll need to order a size up to be sure!

Although this Halston "Sizzling Red Dress" looked beautiful on, it was not the look I wanted for a summer wedding. Therefore, I did not wear the dress anytime over the weekend.

Perfect holiday party dress
Size worn: 4
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Party
I wore this to a holiday party and felt glamorous but very fun and not over dressed. It's better at an event where people will be on the more dressed up side, as there is a very subtle sheen to the fabric and the layers of the skirt feels very luxurious.
I didn't have to wear a strapless bra with it since the pleating is forgiving. The waist and flare skirt is very flattering as well, great if you have a small waist.
I'd consider getting it again for a holiday party this year.

Overall fit: True to Size

I received many compliments on this dress. The dress is fitted on top & falls lovely on the bottom. I didn't have to wear a bra, due to the support of the one strap. [Everything remained as it should, no indecent exposure worries.] The flowy bottom makes you feel girly & as if you should dance the night away. I would definitely recommend this dress.

Size worn: 6
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Formal Affair
I wouldn't recommend this dress for the curvy ladies. Overall it fit a little small, it smashed my bustline, and made me feel like a cupcake. Not sexy! Perhaps on a taller girl it would work - this dress fit me at the knee, which I think is too long for the style.

I wore this for my rehearsal dinner and couldn't have been happier. Despite reviews cautioning against this for full busts, I was able to fit into it (34E) and feel great by just going up two sizes and it still looked good everywhere else. I got a ton of compliments and felt amazing in it - one of my favorite rentals ever!

I found that this dress does very small and it was quite short even on me (I'm only 5'2.) I'm not even sure I would have worn this dress though even if it did fit me properly, I didn't think the construction was that great and there was a big gap in the outer material where the zipper laid.
