I got this to dress up as Audrey Hepburn for a masquerade. It fit perfectly hugging the body beautifully and comfortable. Best part was that I didn't even have to tape the bottom. The only disappointment was that the material didn't look very high end and super stretchy but it worked out fine on photos 

The dress fit in all the right places, and the material was so comfortable. The criss cross fabric across the lower stomach was particularly helpful. 

The fit was beautiful! I wore the small - this dress is supposed to be somewhat drapey (which the medium would have given) but I wanted a tighter fit with the same details. The back gave interest and ventilation while not being too revealing and the slit made me feel subtlely sexy. It wasn't too heavy or too light: easy to move in but with definite substance. Most of my night was spent out walking in Atlanta in 80+ degree heat and I felt fine. There is a sheer underpanel from the top of the slit up that is sometimes difficult to adjust when going from sitting to standing but it didn't provide any massive issue as the side of the dress has bunched detailing that hides it (but may provide extra emphasis to hips which some people may want to avoid). 

Overall, amazing! Wish I could own it.

Helmut Lang never fails to impress with basic, yet subtly edgy styles. The Night Sky Gown is definitely a piece that can be dressed up or down depending on the event you're attending. I wore it out to a birthday dinner in San Fransisco and absolutely loved it! The jersey material is super comfy and falls nicely over the midsection. It runs true to size and has a bit of stretch to it. I would size up one size for backup if needed. It does not have a zipper so be sure to put your makeup and deodorant on after you put the dress on! The only minor issue I had was that the slit in the front kept riding up, but this would have only bothered me if I were attending a more formal event. You also cannot really wear a bra with this style because of the cut out detail on the back. I would recommend a NuBra if you do need to wear a bra! Overall a great piece that I will definitely rent again! 

The team at Rent the Runway sent me this dress as a comparable style when the one I had originally ordered was unwearable. What an great dress. It was simple, elegant and made me feel fantastic. There is some rouching across the torso that is hard to see in the photos but is very flattering. One thing to note is the slit is higher than it looks in the picture and the slip underneath the dress tends to ride up if dancing but it wasn't a big deal for me. I usually wear between a 4/6 and the small was perfect. 

I wore this to a black tie NYC super fancy wedding. It's really comfortable and stretch, and hugged all my curves. You can definitely glam this dress up or play it down, so it's really versatile.
