Helmut Lang
Side Knot Jersey Dress
Very Narrow Arms
This dress is very soft and comfortable. However, it runs very small in the arms and somewhat narrow in the shoulders. I normally wear a size S (I'm usually a true 4) but in this dress after trying all of the sizes, the L fit best so that the arms and shoulders were comfortable. Even though the body was a little big in the L it still works because of the clingy nature of the fabric and of the side knot design.
Sizing: Smaller than Expected
Great Dress But Runs Large
I originally ordered a size 1 based on the notes about the size the model was wearing and her measurements. I'm usually a size 4 or S with a 34B bust and the model was even smaller so I thought 1 would be my size. When the 1 came it fit so-so but it was clear that a smaller size would be better so I ordered the 0 which was perfect. The color is a beautiful soft mocha and the fabric is ultra soft and breezy, it will be the perfect dress for warm/hot weather.
Sizing: Larger than Expected
Cheap Fabric Cheap Construction
I was excited for this item since I love interesting things that can be worn in multiple ways and the photos looked very pretty. Unfortunately when I received the dress I was completely disappointed. The fabric is a very cheap looking and feeling synthetic. The print is only on one side so with the movement and different styling options of the dress the "wrong" side shows and doesn't look good. Also the construction is as cheap as the fabric. For a lower price I would keep it since the idea is fun but it's no where near worth the over $200 price tag.
Sizing: Larger than Expected
