Mark & James by Badgley Mischka

this dress is gorgeous - but SO much better without the belt :) i got loads of compliments and felt very pretty. it's comfy too! smalls normally fit me well and this small was a little snug! I had to add spanx.

It fit perfect, true to size, but this dress looked a bit cheap in person. Something about the fabric used for the underlay, and the belt just didn't do it for me. I wore the dress and had a ton of fun at the Wedding, it is a great color, but I would definitely not rent again.

The dress flatters any body and is the perfect height to not be too short or too long for me. I wore a strapless bra and regular underwear and nothing showed through! I felt comfortable all night wearing it and got many compliments!

Fits true to size, only con is that it has sheer material and is easy to get dirty if you are drinking and dancing! Didn't have a problem though.

The dress fits true to size. I did not have any problems with the dress. It was a perfect dress to wear to a party. Received a lot of compliments on it!

I rented this for a fashion show event in early September. Perfect for the occasion, just a bit of sparkle throughout the dress. I played up the gold with matching shoes and accessories. The small fit great as I usually wear 2/4.

I loved this dress! It was very elegant and classy. It was also very comfortable and fun! This is a dress that is flattering to all body types.

This is a short dress if you have long legs and a big booty, but it worked for me anyway! I wore it to a sorority formal with chocolate brown heels to accent the mint, and received many compliments. The belt cinches perfectly, and the color is exactly as represented. My boyfriend, who remembers nothing about clothing, referenced the dress today... I wore it in December 2010!

This dress was really cute! I wore it to a school dance and I received compliments the whole night. It's super short and the belt makes the material poof out at the top, but other than that the dress is awesome

This review is more of 4 1/2 stars I LOVED this dress and got SEVERAL compliments through out the day on it. However like other reviews have said this picture does not represent the dress well at all. It is a seafoam green, and the belt is detachable it is also gold, not pearl. PS the dress won't look good until you put the belt on.. so when you get it don't be discouraged. My one last minor "complaint" is that the dress is SHORT, a lot shorter then I expected.. so make sure to wear spanx of something to that affect underneath. = )

I wore this dress to my sorority formal! The dress was even more amazing in real life!

It had that shine going on in person (as shown in the modeled picture) and had movement to it. I ordered the XS, I'm a bit over 5'6" and I didn't feel like it was too short on me. About mid-thigh with the belt on and super comfy. I have to disagree with the one review stating it's better without the belt. The belt cinches in your waist (it's really stretchy so it's perfect for this) and looks really cute from the front and even better in the back with the clasps. It's also the main reason why I got the dress. Without the belt, I felt it was pretty boring. I'd definitely recommend this, although I'm not sure where I'd wear it. Maybe a date night or a black tie party? I got it for a photo shoot, so I didn't really wear it to anything. Sorry again for the crappy pictures, I'll try to upload good ones next time I rent + review!

I was too self-conscious in this number. I have hips and booty and felt this dress put it ALL out there. This was the only time I've ever rented a dress from RTR and was disappointed. No worries, all other rentals were a complete success! Will be renting another dress soon.

Absolutely LOVED this dress!

everything was great about the dress. the fit, the look everything was perfect.

It was a cute dress, and it worked for this great dinner I had with my family. But ultimately, the sash looks cheaper in person, and the overall cuteness factor just isn't there in person. It is a nice dress, and I felt like it squeezed in all the right places. It just didn't give me the "wow" factor I usually get with this color.

much shorter than I expected but still beautiful.

I'm incredibly short but this dress was still a decent length on me - just above the knees. The belt was nice to add some shape to the otherwise flowy dress. Only reason it doesn't get five stars is because 1) the sash-like material in the front was hard to keep in place //looking perfect when dancing/throughout the night 2) material wasn't incredibly comfy.

very easy fit, lightweight and fun! I feel like this would work for most all body types.

Gorgeous dress and very comfortable!

Dress is a nice color and was fun to wear. I got a size 0. The dress arrived a bit worn and fabric seemed tired. Some top stitching along the neckline were popped and kept rolling forward to allowing the lining to peek at times. The sheer fabric had a slight dullness to it from being dry-cleaned often(?) It's a nice sea-foam color, photographs well, and I had to re-adjust the belt a few times during the night because it doesn't stay put when I move. Overall I liked it, it served it's purpose, but I am really glad it was a rental.

This was great for my friends 21st birthday at LIV in miami it was short and easy to dance in the material was a little different then I thought it would be but overall the cold accent of the belt really made it pop!

I wore this dress to a formal event! Remind you, i'm only 17. I loved this dress so much. The dress is very whimsical and the color goes along with that. It was true to size. Although it came with a belt, I didn't wear it and its still looked great! P.S I wore silver shoes with it!

This dress was absolutely fabulous. I wore it to my senior homecoming and didn't stop getting compliments the entire night. I wore it with a pair of nude heels and accented it with gold jewelry. The dress was a little tight, but it wasn't unbearable. It wasn't too short either like some of the other reviews had stated. Rent this dress, you won't regret it.

I loved this dress! It was comfortable and very flattering. The belt that came with it had some metal detail that isn't shown here - and I loved that, too! Very cute dress and easy to wear. It is pretty short, but I was hoping it would be since I'm petite :)

I absolutely loved this dress! It looked great on my light skin and fit like a glove, however the dress doesn't have the shimmer shown in the picture in person, which was a little bit of a disappointment

I was not a fan of this dress. For one thing, RTR didn't send the belt pictured, which may have improved it, but from what I saw, the color was darker than I expected, the cut and material looked cheap, and it was all in all just not an interesting dress. It fit funny on the sides as well. Just know if you're renting this dress that the gauzy front does NOT look as good in real life.

My 15 year old daughter loved wearing this dress to homecoming! I have to say she looked stunning. Like others said it is on the short side! On the down side, I thought the dress was looking worn and certainly not fresh and new. I had to iron the chiffon part because it was a crinkled mess and then it sagged funny. We were able to get it to look good by pinning it up, but it took some work. Not something I would want to have to do again. Also, the picture doesn't show that the belt has a metal clasp - both the front and back pics don't show that, and there was a S (for small) written on the inside with black marker that showed through.) It still looked fine but i think it should be shown so you know. I didn't point any of these things out to my daughter and likely no one else noticed, but I think they should be addressed.

Very cute! I wore this to a wedding & it was perfect. I'm 5'2 110, 34C & got an XS- a BIT tight around the waist but nothing noticeable to anyone but myself. Beautiful colors.

I'm 5'2 and 127 lbs with an athletic, hourglass build. I got a size S and M. This looks nice on the model but was very poorly fitting on me. Mainly it was VERY short and had a bit of a bubble hem that I didnt expect. The strap/top was cut high and was not flattering for a 34C chest. All in all a disappointing order :(

This dress was a little tighter than expected, but looked good! I thought it would be a more flowy fit, but I was happily surprised. The belt definitely makes the dress, but the dress itself is a very unique and fun color. Loved it!

GORGEOUS dress. I'm 5'6, 110lbs, C cup and rented the XS - A little short, but otherwise, great fit. The dress color is stunning, and the gold belt adds the finishing touch. I wouldn't wear this anywhere that length might be an issue - expect mid thigh at the longest for this to fit as. Wish I owned this dress, as others have said!

This dress was awesome! Got so many compliments and was super comfortable!

I wore this dress to a summer dinner party and got a ton of compliments. It was very comfortable and a nice color. My only complaint is that the sheer fabric overlay was very wrinkled and I wasn't able to steam it properly. The belt has a clasp that you do not see in the picture but I wore it on the side so it was less noticeable. This is a great dress for petite girls. I'm 5'3"/ 98 lbs and it fit perfectly.

I liked this dresss a lot! i wore it to my after prom, it is a lot of fun and easy to dance in. i felt comfortable in it. It does run a little small and was kind of tight but it was still very beautiful. I wish i could keep it :(

If you are petite this dress is pefect for you. Over a size 8 dont even bother. I'm a curvy girl, this dress did not work for me at all. I got the large, it barely covered my rump and I'm short. Sadly it did not work for me

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS DRESS!!! I wore it to prom last weekend, and I can not tell you how many compliments I received! It was lightweight, and fun. A tad bit short, but not too problematic. Try the dress with nude pumps!

Beatiful color! Not as light blue-more green but still very pretty. This dress is so super short I couldn't wear the belt with it because it made it shorter. Overall very pretty but beware of how short-my fingers went past it when I put them by my side. Also be veryyyy careful with this dress! I slipped on my way home from my boyfriend's date night and was charged $50 for a dry cleaning treatment (didn't even know RTR could do that!) Love this service but word to the wise-be careful with each dress if you don't want to be charged!!!

While I loved the dress, the pale aqua(slightly more green than it seems in the picture) did NOT flatter my pale winter skin. As someone who rarely has troubles wearing shades of Blue (I tend to look good in most colors with the exception of purple) I was dissapointed that this dress was so unflattering, of course this was more of a personal problem than a problem with the dress. It was beautiful, If a bit looser than I had expected. I would only recommend wearing this dress if you have a good tan and know you can pull off minty colors.

Great looking dress! The picture is a little lighter green/blue then what it actually looks like, but it still is beautiful!
