Badgley Mischka

We were going to a white party, and I didn't know where to turn for wardrobe as I usually wear lots of color. A friend recommended RTR and I'm so glad to know about it. I am usually a 4, so ordered the 4R in this dress, along with a dress by Angel Sanchez in a 4R and 6R. The 2 size 4s were a little tight, and the AS size 6 fit, but the boning inside was coming out and poking into my waist. I called RTR on Friday afternoon to talk to someone about this, and she apologized and was incredibly helpful. They did not have the Angel Sanchez dress, but she sent me this dress in a 6R, along with another Badgley Mischka dress in 4 and 6. Cannot say enough about RTR service and how they made my experience less stressful. This dress is very flattering. As a mom of 2, I'm conscious of how my body has changed and I'm still learning how to dress it in its new state. :) I did use fashion tape on the shoulders and along the bust line to make sure there were no peek-a-boo incidents. It's long for my size between the shoulders and the waist line, hence the fashion tape. I'm nearly 5'3" and this dress was a little long for me overall, I wore 4 inch heels with it. Something you should know, and frankly, it's my experience anytime I wear a dress with an invisible zipper going over a seam - it is really difficult to zip this zipper, as the waistline seam is very taut. Be prepared to work at it, and keep the zipper together as you zip. I wouldn't have been able to do it myself. I look forward to the next occasion to rent from RTR!

I had an amazing evening wearing this dress! It fits true to size. Very elegant looking dress, and I would recommend it for an event on a summer evening, a sophisticated look for a nice event by the water. If you're any taller than 5'7", I recommend getting the long not regular length.

This dress was definitely a little snug in the chest- I usually wear a 0 or a 2 and it was a struggle to zip the 2 up! I would also recommend double stick tape as the neckline is pretty revealing. This dress is beautiful and I felt like a princess at my senior prom!

I went to the International Ball at the Naval Academy. After an excellent first-time experience in November renting a dress from RTR (Badgley Mischka Faye Chiffon Gown, I ordered the ML Monique Lhuillier Sweet as Candy Gown in a 2L & 4L. The 2L was too small & the 4L was too loose in the hips. I got the dress on Thursday to ensure I would have it by Saturday, since I headed to Annapolis, MD on Friday. I was worried that there wasn't enough time to re-order a dress from the RTR but I called anyways. The gal who helped me was very kind & patient, helping me find a dress that would be gorgeous for the evening. She was more than kind & it was apparent that she was excited to help me get a replacement dress for the Ball. She recommended the Badgley Mischka Antigua Bay Gown. I had seen it on the website & hadn't given it any consideration since it was seemed plain. Due to her high recommendation, I decided to rent this for the Ball. The gal said she would try to send it by Saturday at noon. The next morning, which was Friday, the gown was delivered to my house. (RTR also delivered my back-up size to the residence I was staying for the weekend, which arrived at 10am Saturday morning). I tried it on & it was absolutely stunning! I couldn't have dreamed of a better dress & RTR's superior customer service is to thank! I received numerous compliments. The most common compliment I received was that I looked like a Greek goddess. I paired the dress with gold jewelry & a smoky eye/nude lip. I felt amazing in the dress & felt as if the dress had been custom tailored for me. If you are planning on renting this dress make sure you wear NUDE colored underwear. I'm 6 feet & the long was the perfect length. At the Ball I noticed that there were other girls wearing RTR dresses & they looked fabulous on the other girls as well. (Badgley Mischka Faye Chiffon Gown, Mark & James By Badgley Mischka White Out Dress, & David Meister Your Royal Highness Gown).

I loved this dress! It was very comfortable and fit well except for it being a little loose in the shoulders...nothing serious. I ordered a long and was still only able to wear flats. It was great for the occasion (a sorority formal) and I enjoyed wearing it. (The dress is the one on the left)

I absolutely loved this dress! I rented it as a back up to my prom dress but I actually liked this one better. Unfortunately I didn't end up wearing it because the 4R was really big but I'm hoping to rent it for next year.

The chiffon overlay is very delicate so expect a few snags if this was worn previously. It catches easily. The regular was the perfect length for a short heel The long was very long, so plan to wear your heels all night or you will be dragging on the ground by several inches. It's white - so the bottom, if too long, will get very dirty.

So I ordered this as my backup dress. It is gorgeous, but a little too see-through. If I had worn this one, I probably would have had to wear 2 slips with it. Also, it is not for those of us lacking in the chest area. There was so much slack, you could see almost my entire chest! Even with double-sided tape. I wasn't able to get a picture in it; I'm a firm believer in the phrase "If you've got it, flaunt it," but that doesn't mean showing the world everything you've got. It was also a little big in the waist, but maybe that's because I'm not a true 0- I'm somewhere between a 0 and a 00. I'd definitely recommend this dress, but just be prepared for the little bit of extra work that comes with wearing it.

This dress was simply gorgeous! Great fit, perfect length, and very elegant. I wore with 2.5 inch wedges and it was perfect. Really great dress for all occasions. My only note would be it's a bit on the shear side, you'll probably need a slip or something very thin/nude underneath.

I rented this dress as a try on for a potential wedding dress, and it came in at a close second for being THE dress. Dress has a beautiful flow and you can easily wear a bra underneath. It is a little low cut for my taste, I'm a 34 D and the way the dress is designed I looked very busty. Sorry no pictures, the zipper broke while I was trying it on (thank goodness for the dress insurance!).

never got to wear dress, too small
