HALSTON

The dress fit large overall, I ended up using my normal size but could have gone down a size. The dress is super comfortable and was great for dancing!

this was sent to me when my backup size for another dress was damaged/returned late. i am typically btwn a 2 and a 4 and tried on the 4, but found it too large. the top was loose, esp around the chest/arm area (i'm a 34C). if i wore a thicker bra it may be been ok though. the waist had plenty of room so perhaps it would great if I were having a massive meal. either way size down if you're btwn sizes. i didn't end up wearing this and went with my original dress because it fit the venue more, but I would love to rent this dress for another event. it is very elegant, but with a lovely full skirt to make it fun. the pockets are amazing. i can't wait to find a reason to rent this dress again!! i would highly highly recommend it!

This dress fit a little bit big. I ordered a zero, so didn't get a second size. It would have been even better if it were a little tighter through the bust. I was the only on who noticed though. It was very comfortable and really fun to wear. And it has pockets! My favorite part!!!

This dress was perfect for the theater benefit I wore it to. The top is very flattering (and not scratchy) and the skirt is very full, heavy, and structured. Love the pockets! This was a little big in the waist, but not terribly so. There is some give, so a smaller size would have worked better. Loved the pockets and got many compliments - would definitely rent again!

This dress was super cute and fun to wear! There was some room at the waist and I was thinking I could probably have fit the 2 if I had it (ordered a different backup dress). But at almost 5'11, it probably would have been dangerously short. The roomy fit may have helped the length work. This dress has fantastic pockets, where I easily stored my iphone and it didn't weigh down the dress at all. Tip - do a strapless, or racerback bra (I wore a normal one and I did end up fiddling with my straps a bit throughout the night). Here we are - both in our rockin' rentals! :)

I wish I owned this dress. It was the so beautiful and comfortable. It has pockets which is awesome! Only con was the sequins did scratch my arms a bit. Totally worth it though.

Very cute and well made with amazing fabric. Skirt sticks out a bit on the sides forming sort of a triangle appearance from the front.

Comfortable and glamorous, I took this dress through an all day event into an evening cocktail reception. I received do many compliments throughout the night, and would definitely recommend this dress as an alternative to the LBD.

I loved this dress! I got tons of compliments. It is of wonderful quality and it worked really well for a black tie event. I LOVED the black sequins on top. The bottom of the dress looks a bit more dark/taupey in person. There weren't any reviews when I ordered it, so I tried my best guess on other Halston Heritage gowns and sized up. But this does run a bit larger and while the 4 (my usual size) fit, I would have liked to try on the 2. The 4 ran just slightly too big, but it wasn't noticeable. I'm 5'2" and it hit at my knee. I would absolutely recommend this dress!

Great dress; opted for the other one I received I my unlimited shipment, but very cute and fun. Love the pockets and it fit very comfortably!

The dress is well made and the material is great quality! This dress was so much fun to wear and I received several compliments!

Eat to move (and eat) in! Comfortable fit, length and material.

I could have gone with a size 2 instead (it was my first rental so I wasn't sure). Fit was great and easy to send back. You'll def need a special bra for this dress, luckily I had one. Otherwise, everything about it was perfect. The quality was amazing and I got so many compliments.

The fit was great - the bodice was slightly loose but not one noticed. The sequins were not scratchy despite dancing. The skirt color is a pink champagne color rather than ivory, which was not well-appreciated in the model picture. You cannot wear a regular bra; I wore a strapless one. I loved this dress! Rent it!

Ordered a different dress from RTR for a friend's wedding, and found out the day before that the dress was no longer available. I went to the Chicago store and picked out a different dress instead, free of charge. There weren't many options in the store, but I found this and loved it, even though it was a size too big. Adorable dress, easy to wear, great for dancing, and got so many compliments!

The fit was a little large in the waist, but overall a great dress! Truly a designer item.

This dress is both beautiful and really fun. The heavy fabric made it perfect for a cool evening. I loved the shape of the top of the dress. It was also really comfortable and the pockets were awesome. I could have worn the 2 or the 4 (usually a four) but the 2 was a little short. I definitely recommend this dress!

The two was a bit big on me. I am generally a 2/4 so I was surprised that I felt like I needed a 0.

I recommend this dress highly enough. It is beautiful and comfortable. The skirt flares out and hides any kind of tummy issues you might have. The sequined top is fun and adds a bit of sparkly flair. I wore it with a Helmut Lang blazer and a Kotur clutch.

Fits large, I usually wear a 2-4 and it fit perfectly in a 0. Comfortable but a bit heavy. Lots of compliments!

Runs slightly large, so size down for your backup. The skirt looks cream in the pics but is actually a beige. The top has a little bit of stretch and is ok for all bust sizes. Wear a strapless bra.

It does run a size big. It was a very comfortable dress except in the armpits. The inner part of my arm hurt after while because of the sequins. The material is stretchy in the top which I liked.

This dress was beautiful and elegant - the perfect piece for a work wedding I attended. I had read other reviews that the dress runs large, but decided to go with my normal size. The dress was all around larger than I typically would like, but it was a classy and elegant piece for the occasion I was attending. I felt beautiful from head to toe - I just wish it would have been a bit more form-fitting.

The dress ran a bit big, but ultimately it worked out because it wasn't strapless so I didn't need to fight to keep it up. Overall really happy with the dress!

The skirt never wrinkled and was a good length (not too short).

I read over and over that the dress runs big but things NEVER run big on me. I'm a solid size 10...sometimes a 12. Those are the 2 sizes I ordered. I'm pretty sure the 8 would have fit perfectly! But, the 10 worked and I got a ton of compliments all night and even after when posting photos. The sequins did start bothering my arms about halfway through the night (after about 3 hours), but it was nothing horrible. The bottom is a very pale beige and very thick material to help keep it poofy. I didn't really need to wear a bra but I did wear a strapless and it didn't show anywhere. Great dress!

This dress was too big and stiff in the skirt area and the bottom hem peeked out making it look kind of cheap. I ended up wearing the other dress I ordered.

The dress is very stiff and it is wide hanging. The pleats are placed somewhat odd. Very beautiful and I did get compliments but it made me look like I had wide hips.

Runs large-normally get a 10 and a larger backup size and this time I went with and 8 and 10 based on reviews. I wore the 8 comfortably.

At 17 weeks pregnant it was tricky finding a dress for a cocktail party that was stylish and comfortable (Have you seen maternity cocktail dresses!? Yuck!). This one was perfect. I would normally order a 4 and 6 as back up. After reading the reviews, however, I decided on the 2 and 4 and am so glad I did. I wore the 2 and even with my small baby bump, the dress has a really comfortable and generous fit. I had a ton of compliments and I didn't have to have every conversation focused on being pregnant throughout the evening.

Loved this dress and have literally no complaints. The full skirt was roomy, hid my larger bottom half and had great pockets, which is amazing. I wore it to a New Orleans wedding with a traditional second line around the French Quarter. It was perfect, comfortable and I received many compliments. There is stretch to the top and the skirt is so full, you can size down. I sized up because I wanted to be very comfy, but I could have went two sizes down for a more fitted look.

I tried on both the 4 and 6, and honestly could have worn either. In the end I went with the 4, just because the upper body fit just slightly better than the 6. The dress is very substantial, beautifully tailored, and has hidden pockets! Perfect for stashing an iPhone out on the dance floor!

I ordered this as an option for my birthday weekend. It runs very large! I think it may have been cute if a smaller size had been available.

Overall, this dress fit a bit large, but I had already ordered a size and two sizes smaller than I usually would so it turned out alright. I ended up wearing the larger of the two sizes solely because I realized the day of the wedding that there was a noticeable stain on the smaller size. Overall, the dress worked out great and was super comfortable.

I ordered this as my second choice option to wear to a wedding. The dress is beautiful on the hanger but didn't look right on my body at all. The skirt has a really thick material with large pleats that didn't lay well when I put it on - it made me look dumpy and oddly shaped on the bottom. And while the material for the skirt is still beautiful, it's not the ivory color that it appears to be in the picture; it's more of a light taupe/beige color. If you're tall and skinny with no hips, this dress would be great for you! Unfortunately, not so great for someone with hips.

I usually wear a 6 or 8 but after reading the reviews I ordered a 4 and 6. I ended up wearing the 4 since it runs large. I wish I owned this dress! It is so comfortable and the pockets are fun and functional! I didn't even carry a clutch because I kept my phone, lip gloss and credit card in my pocket and you couldn't even tell. I definitely recommend this dress!

The dress was very comfortable. Doesn't photograph as well as it looks in person. Loved the pockets! Great for a night of eating/dancing.

I am normally a size 2, but the waist/torso size on this dress ran big so I went with size 0 which fit perfectly! The skirt is made of a heavier fabric so it was perfect for a fall or winter event. Would definitely own this dress! LOVED IT!

fit well. skirt half was heavier than I thought but wasn't an issue

I rented this dress for three different events in one weekend - company holiday party, Repeal Day Ball, and a wedding the next evening. When the dress arrived I was surprised the skirt wasn't white, it's more taupe. Also, the top was a little roomy and I was dumb and didn't order a second size. I'm a solid 12 in almost everything (particularly designer dresses) so I was very surprised by this. Do yourself a favor and also rent the next smaller size. That said, the dress was still a huge success and I received so many compliments. I wore it with black suede chunky heals and some black and silver earrings I also rented.
