Halston Heritage

Zipper issues

I wore this dress to my homecoming, and it made the night that much better. It's definitely more green than blue in person, but it is gorgeous! The slit in the front shows just enough leg while you're walking. The skirt is very flowy and the top fit very well! I was nervous because i don't have a very large bust, but the entire dress fit like a glove. I usually wear a 4 as well so this dress is very true to size. I got the regular length and was able to wear it with about 2.5-3 inch heels with it just about to hit the floor. I loved this dress!

This was the perfect dress for the annual stamford Symphony fundraiser, as I was a bridesmaid/volunteer coordinator. Our headpieces fit the theme from the Russian opera. The fabric was light & flowing, which hid the slit descreetly. The "long" touched the floor with a slight spill-train. My only negative was that zipper may have been replaced as it was heavier than anticipated & had a sticking spot near the top. Fortunately, this dress fit like a glove as the larger size ordered for a 2nd option was replaced with a smaller different style dress, which will give me cause to think twice next time I order.

Very pretty but was too long. I'm 5'2

I could not have been more pleased with this gown. Its beautiful layers flowed wonderfully as I walked, and took flight in the wind (in a good beautiful way). The cut fit perfectly, with no spill over, and perfectly hid every imperfection. The slit was at the perfect place, showed just enough leg as I walked to be sexy but not too revealing. I'm 5'5" and with 3 inch heel the length was perfect, so maybe a little long if you don't want to wear heels. I took it on a plane in a garment bag that was not full length, so it bunched in the bottom, but the dress was no worse for it. It looked like it was straight form the dry cleaners. I had so many comments on this dress from so many people, I felt amazing in it. The way it flowed when I walked made me feel like a model. I had one woman, a complete stranger, walk right up to me, grab my hand and say " Oh honey, WOW!" I will never forget this dress (I just hope I find a wedding dress of my own that I like as much as this)!

The dress came in on a Thursday and I couldn't be more excited to try it on! I ordered both 4L and 2L and the 2 fit the best. I ordered long because I was right on the border between 'Regular' and 'Long', but I wished I had ordered 'Regular'. It was pretty long, but that was no biggie! It was still a little large, but considering it was a flowy dress, it wasn't that big of a deal. :) I had sent a pic to my date for HC and he said it was 'very nice' and he 'loved the leg slit'! The color is gorgeous, very flattering on my skin tone. All in all, this dress was top notch and I can't wait to order here again! :)

Wore this to a black tie wedding. I ordered the long version of this dress so I could wear tall heals and the length was perfect with 4.5" heals. The slit came to mid-thigh and wasn't too high and the overall fit of the dress was amazing! The emerald green color does not go unnoticed. I got so many compliments and would definitely rent this again!

Beautiful! I got so many compliments. The dress is long like many people have said but I wore about 4.5 inch heels with it and it was perfect. I only wish the area around the waist was a bit tighter as I had some extra wiggle room in there. I onyl ordered a size 2R, so Im not sure if the 0R would have been more fitted or too tight...

The dress fit very small in the bust. Unfortunately I have a small waist and large bust so I had to choose. The bust in the 8R that I got as a second size fit, but I looked pregnant and then I had to have two girlfriends squeeze my breasts into the 6R. My boobs looked somewhat squished and awkward. Other than that, my waist looked tapered and bum popped just the right amount. I adored the split in the front! I was able to show off my shoes (and a little leg ;), but was able to cover up my soccer scarves higher up on my thighs. I did my hair in a hair flower bun and accessorized with simple gold dangle earrings and was set. This was for the Navy/Marine Ball at my college: Texas A&M, where I am in the Corps and my date (who's wearing the uniform) is the Commander (he's the boss of 2,250 cadets). We got a lot of attention so I had to make sure I looked good and this dress did the trick!

I was really nervous because I'd never used RTR before and because I booked late the larger size was not available. I am usually a ten, but was worried it could be small. I was also anxious that the slit may be too revealing. I could not have been happier- the dress arrived in plenty of time and fit like a glove. I worse a standard strapless bra that was fully covered by the dress with no artful rearranging necessary. Because the dress has ruching up top and fit so well, everything stayed in place throughout the night. The dress was amazingly flattering. I am 5'9" and worse three inch heels and the dress was perfect- when walking the slit was elegant and not at all revealing and the dress looked even more amazing in motion, either walking or dancing. The color is an absolutely brilliant emerald that set me aprt from the crowd.

First off, I usually wear a 2 but they didn't have it available so I wore the 0. It was a little tight in the bust area but I am small in that area and I got a smaller size. So, if you are top heavy, I would suggest getting a size up just because the bottom doesn't matter anyway! That's what I love about the dress! It's made to be loose from the hip down and it flows and hangs so beautifally! I wore this to a Marine Corps Ball I received tons of compliments all night. The dress was classy and showed JUST enough skin. The split was gorgeous when I walked and all the layers are amazing. The green color was perfect and different and it even looks great when sitting! I am 5'3" and wore 5.5" heels and got the LONG version of the dress. I think it draped the floor so good at this length. (take a look in the photos). The dress really defines your waist. I paired it with black heels that had beige straps and a green back strap/heel plus some HUGE gold earrings. After wearing this dress, EVERYONE was asking me where I got it and was surprised to find out that I rented it! I almost didn't want to return it because I loved it so much!

Wore this for a black tire event. The slit is perfect and so sexy when you walke. The color is a great amazing emerald green! the top is a fantastic fit for bigger chested girls (36DD). I wore a bustier and regular panties. I'm 5'5" and wore 4 inch heels the dress touched the ground perfectly. It's a wonderful coverage on the top and very great strong fit around the chest. LOVED IT!

Dress was very tight in the top. Hardly any difference between the size 4 and the 6 so definitely size up if you are concerned about the top being too tight.

This dress did nothing for me. Very boring and simple. It would be good for someone who needs a little accentuating on top. If you are chesty, it will just make you look bulky. This was a very simple, predictable dress and I did not end up wearing it.

This dress was one of two styles I ordered from the Halston Heritage line. The fit was pretty true, and the color was a great jewel tone. The logistic details all correct (delivery date etc), the dress wasn't even wrinkled when I took it out of the package. Being 5'10 I was a little worried about length, but I ordered the Long and it was perfect for heels. I usually wear a 4-6, and would recommend this dress to anyone who is worried about any lower body issues or fit. It was flowy and didn't cling to the body at all. The dress doesn't open up at the leg slit exactly like the picture shows, but after walking/wearing it a little bit I started to get the hang of moving to help that. And I would try to pick it up a little for pics so that it showed, just so I didn't look like a wall of green. The only issue I had was the zipper was very difficult to manipulate. It was extremely stiff even the first time I unzipped. The zipper was very tough to use even on the hanger, much less when it was on your body. But don't stress just work it a lot before the time you need to wear it and it should be ok.

I almost had a crisis wearing this dress because the side zip was a challenge to get up and I had no one with my in my hotel room to help me - I gave a cheer when I finally got the zipper up. Once it was on, this dress was a vision. The color is incredibly vibrant and the comments about the unique movement and feel of the skirt are absolutely true and I got compliments from every single person I spoke to at the party. Unfortunately the dress I received did have a snag in the delicate outer layer of fabric otherwise this dress was gorgeous. That having been said, I don't know that I would recommend this for "athletic" body types; the one-shoulder made my defined traps and arms look enormous.

Great dress! Got lots of compliments. The movement when you walk makes the dress, so fit in the bust is key to a good look and ease in walking. A true ball gown!

I loved this dress. The way the skirt flowed was just heavenly. The only issue i had was when walking, my husband stepped on it way too many times. Other than that little downside, the dress was absolutely perfect. I felt like a movie star in it. I can't wait to use RTR for my next event.

They dress fit beautifully, and it was actually very comfortable to wear. I had recently had surgery and I was still in pain, but this dress didn't restrict me at all. I absolutely loved it. It barely brushed the floor when I was wearing heels, it was wonderful to have a dress that was actually long enough!

I wore this to a formal affair in DC. It fit beautifully and was very comfortable. The color was vibrant and fun. The only downside was that the length was quite long, so I needed very high heels.

I have a wider torso so the top was a bit snug but the dress was perfect. I'm about 5'7 and the regular length allowed me to wear heels (about 4 inches) with no problem. The color looks gorgeous in pictures. 

This was actually my 2nd choice dress, as my first choice was too short. The only reason I ranked it as "runs small" is because I am usually a size 6 (especially in the top) and it was pretty fitted up top and this was an 8. It was perfect and I got so many compliments all night. I am 5'7" and I wore 3.5" heels and the length was perfect, one of my friends said that it was like the dress was made for me.

Received so many compliments on this dress. I was 22 weeks pregnant, and was worried about the size / fit. I had another dress booked for the event, but called Rent the Runway customer support and they recommended this dress. It worked out wonderfully and I am so thankful for their help!

The color is amazing but the dress makes your hips look HUGE! I usually wear a size 0 or 2 and it made my body look like i was on the heavier size.

I'm usually a 6 but the six fit ok but was too short for me so I went to the 8 which was just a tad too big but not noticeable. Length was perfect for me with the 8. Not too tight in chest either but I did not wear bra.

I wore this dress to my bestfriend's sister's wedding and got tons of compliments... even from the gorgeous bride. I ordered a size 4 and 6. The 4 gave me a bit of a muffin top on the strapless side and was a bit tight (I'm a 34DD). The 6 fit perfectly. I could move comfortably and the dress flowed everywhere I went. It is a kelly green, not teal or turquoise. I really really loved it and how it moved. The slit in the front was super sexy. My only compliant is that the long was too long for me, even in 3" heels. The dress would get caught in my heels, so I had to do a little kick with every step. I am ordering it again for my engagement pictures and will be getting it in regular length instead. Loved loved loved this dress

The dress was a complete knockout and I felt like a Greek Goddess! My boyfriend (whom was also my escort for the event) kept telling me the most beautiful things and he couldn't keep his eys off of me. We had to do a dance number in the dress, and because it was a little long for my 5'1'' frame i had to wear 5'' pumps to not have it sweep the floor(which it still did lol). Luckily, I'm light on my feet so that I didn't have any malfunctions or blunders. The prices came at a great cost and I was able to look glamorous without the huge cost! I love this site!!

Fit is definitely true to size and would be best for a small bust. The tall length was perfect for me at 5' 9.5" while wearing 2.5 inch heels. Fitted top, flow-y bottom.

This dress absolutely did the job - I wore this for a formal wedding, so I was a little concerned about wearing a long gown. However the full skirt from the waist down + the slit allowed for plenty of dance floor action. It was very comfortable yet looked elegant and sophisticated. It fit nicely, however I will say I am small on top and bigger through the hips, so the full skirt allowed me to wear a size 2. The color was really what sold me - the green looks amazing with any skin tone. Overall - Yes!

After requesting a size 2R and 4R, I was notified at the last minute that a 2R was unavailable. I usually wear a size 2, and the 4R was a little big in the bust, but fit comfortably despite maybe being slightly too big. Overall, I really enjoyed wearing this dress and it is a very flattering fit. I wore 4 1/2 inch heels and the length was perfect.

I am 5'6 and 118 pounds and the 0R fit me perfectly. I have a small bust and wore 4 1/2 in heels and it did not drag. The color looked even better in person. I absolutely loved the dress! The dress fit perfectly, and looked amazing. Very flattering! Highly recommend this dress :) Had such a great experience with rent the runway, cannot wait for my next occasion.

After reading the reviews, I am glad I went with a size larger. One review cautioned if you have a large rib cage this dress runs very tight. It is very forgiving from the waist down, but there was no way I could zip this past my ribs. The zipper is very hard to close, even on the hanger (many people agree!), a little surprising since it's a designer dress. I was able to wear 4" heels and the length of the dress was perfect, barely grazed the floor and I am 5'6". I was able to wear my regular strapless bra. The slit was very modest, the picture of the model isn't very accurate. I loved this dress, the color was a gorgeous emerald green and this was definitely formal enough for the black tie ball I attended!

My ONLY con for this dress is that my boobs weren't big enough for it to fit snugly in that area, but you couldn't even tell! So, maybe that's not a con after all. Everything else about the dress was absolutely perfect. My friend had thrown her first red carpet, black tie event in Manhattan and this dress screamed classy and it was. Even when sitting down, it was amazing. I got the OL because I had on 5 inch heels. It was perfect for me. I got compliments all night on how tall I looked (because you couldn't see my shoes lol) and how well the dress moved. The material felt very nice as well, I felt amazing, and I would definitely recommend this to any girl that wants to at least look tall for the night!

The ONLY reason I am rating this a 4 (and its really a 4.5) instead of a 5 is because of the length. This dress is just beautiful. The color is unbelievable, I received many compliments during the night. One shoulder detail is classy and sophisticated, you will certainly feel like you are walking the red carpet! I ordered the size 10 and 12...10 fit like a glove except for the length. I'm a little over 5'3" and I was wearing 4 inch heels. However, it was still quite long, didn't matter too much though. If you want to feel like a movie star then rent this dress! There were many ladies at the event I attended with dresses from Rent the Runway, pretty cool! This website is awesome, the only bad thing is how you feel when you realize that you don't own it and you must return it!

I initially was hesitant to rent this dress because I was looking for more oomph, but this ended up being the perfect dress for the black-tie event I went to. The color is a beautiful green, and the dress is lightweight and flowy. The top half fit very well, while the bottom half flowed beautifully with every step I took. I seriously felt like Ginger Rogers floating across the room to dance with Fred Astaire. The slight isn't as high as that in the picture but my boyfriend still found it sexy. Wearing 5 inch heels, the dress length was perfect, just skimming the floor but completely covering my shoes. The dress itself is plain and great accessories are necessary. I would definitely rent this dress again - I received tons of compliments and my boyfriend loved the look.

I ordered this dress as my back up and ended up loving it more than my first choice. I wore this for the Black Tie & Boots Inaugural Ball and felt my boots looked amazing peeking out of the slit. The gown is deep emerald color, darker than it appears on the model. Fabric was flattering, did not accentuate the wrong curves. Not a lot of room to spare in the chest, but structured top and the sturdy zipper did the job for me. Obviously, slit not as high on a petite girl, but still has a great effect when walking.

The color of this dress is so beautiful in person! Unfortunately it didn't fit, but it was my back-up dress anyway. I couldn't get it zipped in the chest and it was way too long (in the regular length). However, it looked great on my roommate who is much taller than me with a smaller bust (she is about 5'10 and a small B).

The dress was gorgeous, fit perfect on my small frame and the length was just right (I'm 5'2, wore 5" heels and had no drag). Beautiful color. My only disappointment was that I thought the slit would be higher, I think it would be on someone more "leggy", for me it only came just above my knee, I was hoping for a little more sexiness, but still got tons of compliments and was able to dance all night!

I ordered a 4 and 6, and the 4 was too tight a fit, but my backup size was unavailable, so I had to send it back. They did however, credit my account and had great customer service in the process.

Wanted something elegant with a little pop of color instead of black for this formal affair. The slit on the side is subtle but oh so sexy. Felt great. As usual, too long for my 5'3" height, but I'm sure if you have a platform heel, would be great. Definitely recommend. And the dress was in GREAT condition.
