Easy to wear, comfortable & elegant

This Halston dress was very easy to wear, the fabric was forgiving, the ruching around the waste hid imperfections, the slit gave it a bit of sex appeal. I loved the amethyst color for the Fall gala that we attended. I’m 5’2” and wore 4” heels and the hem was perfect. Could wear a standard bra.

Hugs in all the right places but accommodating for a large busy

I’m fairly tall so the split was not outrageous - might be quite high on someone less tall.

Very comfortable! Perfect length for me, just above the ankle.

Fit like a glove, very comfortable all night. Slit was not too high, just the right amount of style. Wore a regular bra (armpits not too low). I would rent it again.

Very comfortable, elegant

Material is stretchy and very comfortable to wear. Draping provides good cover for any belly rolls. Thigh slit adds some wow without being too much.

Get This Dress!

Drop-dead gorgeous. As beautiful as this regal purple dress is on the hangar, it is even more fabulous when you put it on. Perfect proportions, leg slit is sexy without being too high, and the fabric is comfortable even for South Florida, where I had an event. Perfect length, too, with my 3-inch heels, something I was concerned about ahead of time based on a previous Halston rental 4 years ago. This will definitely be a repeat rental!!!!!

Great dress! Halston never disappoints.

This dress hangs beautifully. The ruching around the middle helps minimize my menopause middle. I think with the wrong shoes and accessories it could come off a tad matronly, but the color is stunning. I will definitely rent again.

This dress was perfect for a black tie optional wedding!

I wish I took better pictures wearing the dress because this dress is fantastic for a black tie optional affair. The color is a deep purple and it was very flattering, and the top had ruching which allowed me to hid my insecure belly apron. It does have a high side slit that I though would make me uncomfortable but it added a level of sexy to the dress.

Last minute colorful formal

Ordered this rental on a Wednesday for a Saturday event and RTR can through! I wore the larger of the two sizes, although both fit. The material was super comfortable and it had enough elegance for the gala I attended. Bonus was being able to wear a regular bra.

top and neckline is a bit dull

Beautiful drape and nicely placed slit and sash. The top is high neck, square on the shoulder, and has ruching so can't play it up with a necklace. Didnt wear it.

Perfect formal wedding option

Gorgeous color and great form fitting dress! I was able to dance all night and was never uncomfortable or hot. The sash falls in just the right spot if you're someone who might be self conscious about the slit. It's a great dress that works for many age groups.

Super flattering and long enough!

The dress is flattering but I felt appropriate/not showy for a work gala, plus could wear spanx and a regular bra. Side ruching is flattering in the waist.

Such an elegant dress. The color does not disappoint.

It was such an easy dress to wear - no special bra needed. The gathering in the front helps camouflage any belly rolls! The slit is sexy without making you feel self conscious. My first experience trying "Rent the Runway" and it won't be my last!

Great dress, gorgeous color but runs a tad small

I wear a 10 or 12 and the 12 fit perfectly, so I’d say if you are in between sizes to size up for your backup. Great stretchy fabric which really was good for tummy camo since couldn’t wear spanx due to height of slit. Would rent again!

I was afraid it would be too long for a shorty like me, but the length worked fine.
