Firstly, I'm obsessed with this dress. The color is better in person, the fit is fabulous, I didn't want to take it off and I'm having separation anxiety from mailing it back. The dress alone makes such a statement that it requires very little styling, I just wore a simple pair of satin Tory Burch pumps, sleek hair, smoky grey eye and a clean gold teardrop hoop. I felt like a million bucks, it's so sexy and flattering and can work for so many occasions and I got oodles of compliments. One thing worth mentioning is that the dress a bit complicated to put on. There's a form fitting "underdress" attached at the shoulders with openings in the waist and back - they serve a great purpose in the overall effect but deciding which hole is for your head is a bit of an experiment. The dress also has two flimsy strings on the hip attaching the "overdress" to the "underdress" and one immediately (and cleanly) detached on one side (thanks, $5 insurance policy!); I think that's a design flaw. It's a very sexy dress, it has the illusion of coverage but there is lots of flesh exposed thanks to strategic cut outs and slits so it's perfect if you want a pop of color and the ability to pull an Angelina on the red carpet. With this dress, Helmut Lang puts a new meaning to the word "bodycon". Rent it now.
