This dress is absolutely stunning... For me, the sequined Badgley Mishka gown turned going to a corporate holiday party into an enchanting holiday date! This is definitely an eye-turner, but it is so flattering that it melts any self-consciousness away instantly. I'd tried on every dress in my closet before renting this - none were "special" or "fun." I wanted to feel glamourous -- and this gown did the trick! The ruching on the back and sides, combined with the way the light is picked up by the sequins just so, makes this dress a forgiving choice for anything any woman can throw its way! The boning at the bust and the fit of the dress itself gave me excellent support, making my only really necessary undergarment a strapless bra. My dress was an EXACT size 10, 36-8 B/C; I chose the 10L so I could wear 3" heels and still have a bit of a small train, which was such a luxurious feeling! (NOTE: Dancing was a bit challenging but all you need to do is pick the dress up with one hand...) I did wear a shaper slip but more to give a barrier against the boning, which on my dress was poking a bit into my ribs -- when I gave feedback on this, RTR said they'd fix that for the next customer :-) I noticed NO scraping under the arms as did previous wearers - it was as comfortable for me as a pair of yoga pants - no joke! After the event, my dress hung on the outside of my closet door, and every single time I glanced at it brought back memories of the glamorous world I'd stepped into for just that evening... Sigh.
