I love Helmut Lang due to the edgy styles, clean lines, and quality clothing.  This is no exception, and this was super comfortable as well.  The sheer fabric at the bottom of the skirt was adorable.  This looks like a two piece set but it's almost like wearing a shift.  The texture and complement of the different fabrics is awesome.  I absolutely loved the way it felt and moved,...you'll enjoy wearing this.

This dress for perfectly. Very true to size. It was a little short, not great if you have to sit a lot. 

I wore this for the annual holiday party we host and got lots of compliments.  I liked how the sheer overlay was longer than the lining.  It's one piece (based on the other reviews, I thought it might be a skirt & top) and drapes really nicely.  You can wear a normal bra, but a racer back will work best.  Friends said the zipper down the back was sexy.  I could have gone without the spanx, but opted to wear them so I could relax, and because I was racing around hostessing.  The bangle set that I got as "mystery bling" was probably my favorite part of the outfit.  I would wear this dress again.

The fit was perfect except for the length. I was expecting it to be a little shorter. I tried to pin it up with dress tape but it kept coming undone all night. None the less,  I received multiple complements on the gorgeous dress. 

Loved this dress. Fit great...compliments all evening. Comfortable and expensive looking. You can wear a variety of different shoes with it also.

Adore.

Despite other reviewers experiences, I found it to be true to size.  It fit nicely in the chest and wasn't snug in the hips on me. However, I would say I have a straight frame. The silk fabric is pretty and is nicely off-set by the linen and satin borders. Very comfortable and the length was sexy.

Edgy and comfortable just about sums it up! I loved the asymmetrical hem, the neckline and that I was able to wear any old bra with it! I'm 5'6" and the longer side of the skirt hit right at my knee. Beautiful, great experience, will definitely be renting again.

Perfect hip dress for my 40th birthday party. Had to wear spanx underneath for post partum tummy, but it worked. Black material looked like silk online but is more of an upholstery thick material, but again, it worked. Ordered size 8 (my normal size) and couldn't order size up as free backup because they don't make it in a 10. I took a chance, and am glad I did. I love RTR's quick work -- had a chance to order this dress one and a half days before my event, and received it on time. Thanks, RTR!

I ordered this and another dress for a cocktail party/benefit for our local hospital and found this to be the right choice as it was edgy, but covered me where the other one didn't. It was so comfortable - didn't have to suck in the stomach to cruise the buffet!  I loved how the skirt part underneath was shorter than the sheer overlay - sexy, but not over-the-top. My daughter said it didn't show my shape, but since it wasn't that kind of party, I felt perfectly dressed.  The earrings gave it that rock-and-roll look without trying to pass for 20-something. Got a lot of compliments! I can't wait to order items again with Rent the Runway...oh, I also told my friends, when they asked, all about my "find" and how it all works.  I have rented before and hit a home run with that outfit as well. Never rented accessories, but certainly will again.  

LOVE this edgy style! It's meant to be a bit loose but it actually is a bit narrow in the hips. The fabric is great and makes the dress interesting! This hit me right above the knee so if you are short it may be a bit too long. Such a unique party dress!

Loved this Helmut Lang dress - -it's my first time wearing the designer and you can really feel the quality of the fabric and cut. It's a really cool print - got tons of compliments. It does run tight in the hips so keep that in mind when ordering - I would size up for your second size. Definitely recommend!
