Tres chic! Absolute knock-out piece.
Loved this outfit. Elegant, with clean lines and conveys strong femininity. I'm quite tall and so I wore black leggings underneath with a black fitted bodice to cover the bust (it's a deep V neck). That gave it more of a mod pop feel, but this would be stunning on its own. It's such a high impact piece I could only wear it a couple times, but I was still so sad to send it back!

An easy, classic LBD. This dress was comfortable and easy to maintain and can be dressed up or down.
A solid everyday option, but this dress was missing some of the movement I enjoy in other Helmut Lang pieces. On the plus side it can be dressed up or down, but because of the drawstring waist I found that it lent itself much easier to casual occasions. Overall there's less of a wow factor--something to consider for a one-time rental, but I did get several wears out of it on my Unlimited subscription.

Sophisticated and modern, with plenty of bold!
The material feels very luxurious and there's some heft to this coat. I wore it as both a sweater and an outer-layer with leggings and boots. The cut is very boxy but on my tall frame I found it flattering. I can see where a petite woman could get lost in it. Love the leather trim and zipper detailing. All around a winning rental!

Effortless glamour
Fell in love with this classic chic Helmut Lang piece. Flattering silhouette with a high-low cut, making it perfect for work and play. I wore this to meetings, drinks and a family reunion. The proportions and length are best suited to a taller woman, but the shape is forgiving so it could work for a range of body types. The dress lends itself well to a minimalist look, or kick it up a notch with bold accessories.

Sophisticated lace and wow-factor
DVF size 6 always fits me dead on which made this dress extra flattering. As others have said, the arms do run small. That worked well for me but ladies with muscular arms take note. Minus one star because the slip shows at the hem unless you tackle it with fashion tape. I skimmed past the details and originally thought the dress had a graphic print. It's actually gorgeous lace detailing, which creates a polished, elegant look. Combined with the tailored silhouette it's quite a high impact piece. It was definitely a head turner and perfect for my date to the Symphony!

Returned it unworn. Best for modest chested, narrow figures.
Didn't wear this dress. As others have noted it's not a good choice if you're busty. I thought I could make it work with a Spanx tank underneath but it was a stretch. I sized up to a 44 vs 42 knowing Versace runs small. The size was right but the cut doesn't flatter an hourglass silhouette. Gorgeous fabric and detailing, though. This dress is ideal for a straight figure looking to create curves.

Flattering cut and fun color! Great dress to punch up a daytime or casual event.
Overall fit was true to size but I found it to be deceptively short. I rented it for my own rehearsal brunch and had to place an emergency morning-of call to my mom to run out and get me tights to wear underneath. Without them it was pretty scandalous (not safe for Grandma). Aside from that it was perfect!

These were an absolute show-stopper at my wedding.
Timeless and bold. Stunning pearls accented by rich gold. I definitely had some sore ear lobes for a few days following but it was 10000% worth it.

Homerun!
Wore this to my 10 year high school class reunion and it was a big hit. Very flattering for hourglass body types and was a fun pop of color for the summer time. I was only sad that I had to return it!

Bummer! Had to send it back due to size.
I was so excited to rock this at a holiday party last year but it runs CRAZY small so I never got the chance. The largest size was an 8 and though I typically wear a 6 I couldn't even get it on. Best for narrow body types. As others have said the fabric has no give at all.

Total Knockout
I wore this dress to my company holiday party and it's just fabulous. I loved it so much I rented it a second time! Despite being form-fitting the material is forgiving and has a good amount of stretch. I've got a fuller bust so the dress was snug enough to hold me in place upstairs, sans any type of bra situation. It's a bit short if you're long-legged, but I wore opaque black tights and that toned it down. I would highly recommend it for a classy affair. Thanks RTR!
