I didn't end up wearing this as it wasn't flattering to my body type. I think it would look great on someone with more curves but I have very few curves and the dress wasn't helping me out at all.  I also have slightly wide shoulders and because the dress hit at the outermost point of the shoulders this made my shoulders look even wider than they are. So I did not wear this one. 

This dress fit very well in my normal size. The material itself was comfortable but the dress kept riding up so I kept pulling it down all night. The shorter side of the dress didn't hide my spandex (which covered mid to upper thigh) when I sat down. I was overall happy with the way it looked on me, but I wouldn't rent it again.

This dress was perfect for a semi formal event I attended. The fabric had some give which fit my curves really well. I felt confident and comfortable all night

This dress is a super soft material, it is worn if you look close but fine in a darker crowded room.  It is a very unique cut and print.  

Loved the fit on this dress. Hugged the curves on the bottom and I could wear a regular bra with the cut on top. Super comfy for a wedding. I wish I could have kept the dress! (so does my husband!)

I wore this dress on New Year's Eve and loved it. It's super comfy and I got tons of compliments on it. Helmut Lang is pretty much my go-to brand for edgy, modern pieces and this dress was no exception. The picture doesn't look very good but the dress is very flattering. The size 4 and 6 fit almost identically which led me to believe that the 4 may be slightly stretched out. So if you're a small 4 or sometimes wear a 2, go for the 2. 

I am very broad in the shoulders and somewhat muscular for my petite frame. I needed the 4 to fit in the shoulders and torso comfortably. 

Rented this dress for a night out at the theater. The positives were how well it fit and how comfortable it was. I didn't expect the material to be so cottony. I thought it would have a more satin finish. Also the pleat at the stomach makes the picture look more crumply than the dress really is. Overall, the dress worked and I felt great, just wasn't exactly what I expected.

Comfortable stretchy fabric for an evening at a charity event with lots of eating & dancing. Second rental from RTR--can't wait to do it again!

This was my first time renting from Rent the Runway.  The dress was absolutely wonderful.  Part of the reason I chose it was because of it's name, the Heart Pumping Dress.  It was perfect for a Valentine's Day event.  One side of the dress is shorter than the other and it does ride up on the thigh.  Thank you Rent the Runway.  

I wore this dress for headshots, a wedding, then a dinner theatre (yes, all in the same day). The fabric hugged my body, but never in a restricting way. It was so comfortable! It is a bit of a warmer fabric, but given that I usually run a little colder, it was okay for me. The top was more of a cowl-neck than a v-neck like the picture showed, but oh well. Loved this dress and would wear it again!

My photo (new headhot!) was taken by Nikki Winter Photography. Doesn't she rock!?

The fabric on this dress was heavier than I expected, but that was fine since it was a cold night. I was torn between the 6 and the 8, I felt like the 6 was a bit too tight (especially in the hips) and the 8 was a bit too loose. In the end I wore the 8, but my husband thought they both looked good. I loved that I could wear a regular bra with this dress. The biggest negative is that both dresses definitely looked worn, I don't think anyone would notice unless they looked very close but the fabric had obviously been laundered multiple times. All in all I was very happy with the dress, and I did get a random compliment from another customer at the restaurant.

It's a lovely dress with a lovely fit on you! You are NOT 56.?.....fabulous!

Perfect for a benefit auction, dinner and dancing.  Classy & sophisticated for a 50+ yr old, ok to eat in because of the fabric gathers at the waist, and comfortable for dancing . The RtR experience was great; everything worked as planned. The dress was in fine shape (as were the backup size and 2nd dress).  I wore a jet bead necklace and red patent pumps. Got several compliments from other women, my husband loved it, and I was so glad not to be part of the sea of black. 

I actually picked this dress last minute when the one I originally ordered became unavailable for my rental date. I was quite please when I received this one. I wore it to a company holiday party. The asymetrical hem is more drastic than it looks in the picture, but in a good way. The short side was shorter than I expected, but I also have bigger legs to fill out the dress. The long side came just above the knee. I actually wore it with sheer black stockings, although this pic shows me without them. Overall was fun a comfortable!

The dress on the hanger does not do it justice. This dress is warm, comfortable and flattering!

My husband couldn't keep his hands off me, and I didn't even think this dress was particularly sexy. In fact I wore it to work with tights and conservative pumps, then changed to boots for after-work drinks. The material feels great. The ruching in front is flattering. The asymmetric neckline is unique. The black along the sides is slimming. I'd be happy to rent it again!

This dress was great and I received compliments on it all night long.  It has a little strech to it so it's easy move around and super comfortable.  I wore spanx to smooth everything out, but the dress is very flattering with rouching over the stomach area to hide any little flaws.  Bonus - the black side panneling is extremely slimming!  

The dress was perfect for dinner and drinks.  It was very comfortable and flattering because of the black panels on the sides.  It did run a little big (I'm usually a 2) but it would have been ok if the dress was a little big also because of the draping.  Got tons of compliments!

I LOVE this dress!  The way the fabric lays is super flattering and it hides any figure flaws. The neckline and hemline of the dress are both really interesting and made the dress super chic.  I also loved the black paneling down the sides because it was very slimming. Overall, I love this dress and because there is stretch to it, it is really easy and comfortable!
