Amazing fit

The side of the dress was the area I was the most nervous about. So dancing was tricky.

Great dress

I am post partum but with some shape wear and fashion tape this dress worked perfectly. The chest is a little hard to get right, and to be comfortable this time it scratched my neck quite a bit. The fabric seemed to be stretched a little in a way that made it hard to keep the center from gaping. I’m also quite large chested. Cakes and some fashion tape went a long way!

Top works if you tack it down- loved it!

I read all the reviews indicating that the top of the dress was too large, and as a smaller chested woman I wanted to listen, but still loved the look so rented anyway. I'm so glad I did! I ended up criss-crossing the straps and safety pinning them under my arms, that way the side boob wouldn't show, and it was PERFECT. I felt comfortable all night! Top was secure, waist was perfect, skirt was beautiful and hid any flaws, and got compliments all night. Would rent again! I never leave reviews (member for years) but had to leave you all with this hack!

Perfect gown

This was a backup last minute gown but it did more than the job. Everything for perfect. The breast/top area was just right no adjustments and the flow from waist to bottom was great. I wore kitty 3” heels to allow the gown to cover my feet, floor action. I’m 5’6

Good for smaller chested ladies

There is so much fabric up top but noting a small safety pin can’t fix to give the dress the right proportions. I ordered the 10 and it was just a hair big. Tons of compliments and really loved the open back side cut, which is not for everyone.

Made for larger busts

Had to use fashion tape on the sides, as they were gaping on my small chest. But a beautiful dress, nonetheless!

Confused boobs

I did not understand this dress. The boob area was way too loose - side boob galore. You would need a lot of tape to make this dress work. Did not wear.

Gorgeous but long!

I had to look back at the pic to remember how to wear it. I am not busty so I felt like I have to make the top super tight. Which made it slightly uncomfortable by the neck. It fit beautifully from the waist down. I didn't wear a bra at all. The dress is long and has a small train. I was wearing almost 4 inch heels and still stepping on the dress. I would rent to buy just so I could hem. Short Girl problems.

5’6| Size: 14R

Loved the elegant design and fit, but if you are like me and love to dance be mindful of the neck design as you dance it rubs on the neck and can cause it to be uncomfortable after a while. Nonetheless, loved how I looked in it!

Black dress with an edge

This dress was super fun for a black tie wedding! Full back exposure and a halter with a cutout jazzed up the dress and made me feel top of my game. The tie wasn’t too difficult, but I added some fashion tape to the top to feel more secure. I didn’t need to adjust it throughout the night and it stayed put on the dance floor. Only problem: the sequin material irritated my skin at the end of the night.

Great gala look

I have a short torso, but this worked really well! I couldn't wear a bra but never felt that the sides were too revealing. It is a heavy fabric and longer length in the back. The back is stunning and I felt comfy and beautiful!

love Halston

This dress is great... if you remove the tack (tiny stitches keeping it together) someone put in the top. I don't know if it was the designer or a previous renter. The tack isn't necessary for the design and makes the fit all wrong. Floor length in heels for my short frame. I couldn't get a photo that did it justice.

This was my backup dress so I didn’t wear it. It was almost perfect but I didn’t fill out the boobs and I also couldn’t figure out how to tie it 😂 if my other dress wasn’t perfect I would have worn this one.

Major side boob but gorgeous material

First, this dress was gorgeous and the material is flattering. Just high enough at the waist that you can still pull off spanx underneath it, despite it being an open back. Unfortunately, I couldn’t wear either size. The 12 felt a little snug over my hips/thighs (the material underneath it kept riding up as I walked), and the size 14 was way too big in the chest area. Major side boob. If I lifted my arms, my boobs came out the side. Totally bummed! I ended up having to go with an old dress I already owned.

not for busty gals

If you need a bra, even a strapless, you cannot wear this dress. It is backless and cuts down way low in the front. The ties to hold it up are also very very long so you can't get a good, secure tie. I ended up not wearing it.

Weird top- halter top sewed together so no adjustments

There is no one the top could fit me. Too saggy on the sides. I'm a 36C. So sad. I couldn't wear it at all. Wish I could pull the halter top higher but it was sewed together.

The fit is horrible!

I didn't trust the other reviews and took a gamble on this dress and it was a fail! The bust area was not a good fit despite trying to use double sided sticky tape- unless you are looking for a total display of "the girls", you won't be able to make this dress work. Ended up returning immediately and wore something I already owned to the event.

Beautiful gown, but

Just a heads up, the neckline is not adjustable, at all, it’s fixed with a stitch where the fabric crosses. This will fit people with long torsos and large chests. I wasn’t able to wear it because of the sagging in the neck to waist.

Probably better if I had slightly bigger chest

While I am usually a 6 on the bottom, this fit me in a 4 just fine but the top was still a little awkward. It looked beautiful in photos still but i didn’t feel the fabric on top was a little bulging and not so comfortable so I didn’t wear it.

Very long and the top is not adjustable

I thought this dress was gorgeous on the model, but because the two “panels” in the front are stitched together very high up, the dress did not afford the adjustability I was counting on for a halter style and therefore was not wearable for me. It may work well on a taller person with larger bust size.

Too big in the top and too small on the skirt

I would need miracle tape to make this dress work. If I tied it right enough I felt like I was choking and still would need a bunch of tape to not have a wardrobe malfunction. The long was a great length, wish I could have it work and definitely glad I had ordered two styles of dresses to try for the event.

Should’ve listened to other reviews

Here I am thinking that the reviews other ladies put up wouldn’t be me… I’m here to tell you they were! Proceed with caution. I got too excited about renting a Halston. The fit was NOT it. The body fit was too tight, and the top was WAY too loose to make sense. I also did not like the sequin portioned in person at all; I felt it looked too costumey and not well done enough for a formal wedding.

Awkward fit on top

I feel like the only way this dress would work is if you were fairly small on bottom and let’s be honest have decent size fake boobs. Otherwise it’s not very adjustable and gaps on the sides…wasn’t able to wear either size
