Mark & James by Badgley Mischka

I have rented another BM gold sequin dress from Rent the Runway before (the Glitz Gown) and preferred the fit and feel of that dress. This ran really small at the boobs and under the arms, so much so that I couldn't zip the dress up, which is odd for me as it's usually my hips that don't fit things. I would suggest sizing up if you are fuller in the chest. That said, if this had fitted, I think this would be an awesome dress, the length was great, the sequins were beautiful and more of a bronzy gold and the ruching details on the hips were very flattering. Would definitely order again in a larger size.

I rented this to wear as an MC of a school fundraiser "Dancing With the Stars" and it would have been perfect, except several guests and the opening dance act all had the idea to wear sequins! The dress fits great and is comfortable and glamorous. More of a peachy-nude color than the picture shows. The bottom of the dress is very flattering and is swishy and elegant.

This dress is a beautiful copper color and a comfortable fit. It is a mermaid cut though so it will accentuate your hips so if you're curvy, definitely size up! Its lower cut in the bust but you can wear a standard bra. It is shorter in the front with the train in back so if you can see you're feet, no worries - its supposed to be that way!

Definitely runs small in the middle and I encountered the high under arm problem described in another review. Also kept getting cut by the sequins, but overall it's a pretty dress.

I rented this for a military ball. The sequins were a little risky for a conservative function, but I thought the neutral color made it subtle enough. I received many compliments from men and women, friends and strangers alike. I wore a standard bra and undies. You could definitely wear shapewear if you wanted. It wasn't as short on me as it is in the model photos: the regular length brushed the floor in 3-4" heels, and had a small train in back. The lining of the train did get hooked on my heels every now and then, but maybe I'm just an intense dancer ;-)

The dress fit very well!!! It was quite long, so I am glad I had a good 4"-5" heel. The top was a little loose because I am only a 34A, so had to wear my best push up bra and pull up the straps frequently. It fits very snug, but comfortable. I could not even zip up the size 2 that I ordered for my second size, it was too tight around my rib cage. I normally wear juniors clothing, size 5 in pants/jeans or 3-5 in dresses. The size 4 in this dress was a perfect fit though!

This dress fit like a glove. Very nicely done. It's definitely a statement dress, so if you're not looking to be the talk of the evening, I wouldn't recommend it. It definitely made me feel and look very statuesque. Hugs curves in all the right places.

This was actually my backup dress for a college ball at UVA, but the one I'd really wanted to wear wasn't in great condition when I received it. I put this on reluctantly - and was amazed. It fit like a glove and made me look fantastic. I could even wear a strapless bra with it (which is often a problem with formal dresses). I got compliments from complete strangers all night! A few issues: since I'm short, I wore four-inch heels with this dress. Even with the heels, the dress dragged on the ground and I had to take care not to stomp on it. Shorter ladies should take that into account when selecting footwear with this dress. Also, the sequins rubbed my upper arms and gave me a rash, so if you're going to be dancing a lot, take care not to chafe the skin on your arms!

Pro: the light caught the sequins and sparkled all night. Flattering form fit. Cons: The top of the dress gapped a bit.

This dress fit me perfectly, but I rated it as running small because I think bustier women would find this dress to fit too snugly. The dress is great for women with an hourglass figure, and the fabric was especially forgiving. The fabric wasn't heavy, but it did get a little warm as I was dancing. I was worried the sequins would be uncomfortable, but I didn't have any problems. The color was somewhere between copper and gold, depending on the light. On the whole, the dress is gorgeous and I got compliments on it all night.

I wore a 4 Long with 4 1/2 inch heels..worked perfectly! The chest area was a bit too big and needed to use the double sided tape and some pads to stay in place. It was gorgeous. Loved it!

The color is wonderful and looks beautiful in the light. This dress does run small on top so if you have a larger chest you will want to size up. I ordered this as a back up and my first choice dress fit perfectly so I did not wear this to my event.

a little tight and the sequins scratched a little but a show stopping dress, had a lot of fun in it and everyone loved it, its very long too

I wore this dress for a black tie gala and it was amazing! I had so many compliments! Great fit, gave good cleavage, too!

This dress was fabulous. I wore it to a black tie wedding and got loads of compliments from complete strangers - the best kinds! However, the fit was a little awkward. It was very snug around my waist, almost uncomfortable. I got used to it eventually, and the fabric is stretchy. It was also big up top. I am a 34B and I ended up wearing an adds-2-cups bra to help me fill out the dress. It looked great though and I would highly recommend it.

I have no cons the dress was perfect.

The fit was fairly true to size, although for me, it was slight big on top. Not a major problem, as it allows you to wear a normal bra with it. Was very easy too move around in, and the sequins didn't itch at all!

The dress was absolutely perfect, I loved it!!! It arrived on time, was in great condition, and fit perfectly. I got tons of compliments! It was very comfortable and easy to walk in. This was my first time using Rent the Runway and I will definitely use it again!

This dress was amazing and definitely stood out at my formal! I am between a size 2 and 4 so I ordered both and they fit, I chose to wear the 4 because it gave me a little extra room to move around. The dress is a little long and I am 5'5 1/2", so I wore 3" heels and the dress hit the floor. In person the color of the dress is more copper/has a pink tone to it, but it is still gorgeous!

Color resembles more of a champagne or light bronze color. My date wore gold and it didn't quite match. The dress is flexible and conveniently form fitting. The chest was too loose for me so I wore the size down. The dress was long and has a nice natural mermaid tail. It was still manageable even after I took my shoes off. I'm glad I went with this dress over the other glittery dresses on RTR! The straps added a classier and more vintage vibe to my prom look. I was able to dance the night away without having to constantly pull anything up :)

I can't get over how much I love this dress. I wore it for my senior prom because I knew I wanted a gold sparkly dress (might as well go out with a bang right?), so I got this and it fit perfectly. I couldn't have asked for a better dress. My only issue with it is that it was really really long but that wasn't that big of a deal for me because I just held it up and wore high heals and it was fine. I could wear a normal bra and underwear, and that was a huge plus in itself. All night (and for the next couple of days actually) people came up to me telling me I look absolutely stunning. I totally recommend this dress, it'll make you feel like a movie star :)

I wore this for a military ball and it was an amazing dress. I have never rented from RTR before and I was hesitant on many levels, mainly the sizing. I chatted with a sizing specialist and she suggested a 2R and 4R and I'm glad I listened...the 2 didn't even zip, but the 4 was perfect!! A few small issues I had: 1) I am smaller-chested, so even with a padded strapless bra, I had to safety pin the v-neck closed more to be more modest and cover my bra 2) I have a short torso, so the right shoulder strap fell easily, but I used the double-sided fashion tape that was included to fix that problem 3) The sequins were a little scratchy on the arms, but nothing extreme. The length of the dress was perfect, I normally have to wear "short" dresses and pants, but with a 3" heel, this fit perfectly. In my (biased) opinion, I thought it was the prettiest dress there and I got so many compliments on it. Just be warned, this is a dress to show off your curves (good and/or bad?)!!! I will definitely rent from RTR again. Because of the Memorial Day Holiday, my dress was tracking to arrive a day later than I scheduled, but much to my surprise, it came right when it was supposed to. You also get a garment bag and cosmetic samples that you get to keep and shipping it back was as easy as could be! I can't wait to rent from RTR again, and I'm hoping it's sooner rather than later!!

This dress was beautiful! I rented it for my Junior prom and it fit perfect with our theme (Oscar's night). The dress runs true to size and it fit me perfectly. No doubt you'll get many compliments on this dress! It's so eye catching! I'm 5'6 and i wore three inch heels and the 6L was the perfect length.

I wore the gown for an outdoor black tie event and felt spectacular in this gorgeous dress. Like the Oscars, our event started before sunset and the sun magnified every shimmer and sparkle of the dress. A very red carpet experience! This was my first RTR dress and the process from ordering to returningwas exceptional. I relied in the reviews and am glad I ordered a size up. The 6 fit like a glove and the dress skimmed my toes. I can't wait for the next event!

This dress is gorgeous! I wore it to a military June Ball and it was one of the best nights of my life! The color is more of a bronze than gold but it's stunning. It shines in the light and makes you stand out. You can even wear a normal bra because the cut isn't too low in the back. For me being 5'9, the front of the dress resembles the one in the picture, so my shoes were showing. It matches nude shoes very well. The dress isn't too heavy so it wasn't bad for dancing or moving around to take pictures. I would recommend this dress to anyone, it's beautiful.

The only con for me is that dress was bigger in bust then I am. Which required the use of double sided tape and a pin to stay in place. That being said I would rent this dress again if i had another event to go to that was fancy.

This dress turned a lot of heads at a black tie event. It is very figure flattering, and the shimmer was eye catching. I would definitely rent this again for a similar glam event!

I'm a very curvy gal and this dress made me look even curvier. At first I didn't like how it looked on me but the more compliments I got the more confident I became. I had to use the fashion tape to keep my tatas from falling out. I was also worried about the length before it arrived but I'm 5'2" and the dress was perfect with 3 inch heels. I love the overall experience of RTR but I'll probably won't rent this dress again.

Wore this dress to a black tie wedding. The dress was a great length for pictures (long and covered my heels) but I had to keep lifting it for dancing. The only thing I hated was that my bra kept showing so I had to pin the dress to my bra. Beautiful in pictures though!

I ordered this as my back-up dress, thankfully and not as my primary dress. I'm a 0/2 and I couldn't even zip this dress up! I was so disappointed. It looks great on the model but frumpy on me, unfortunatey - as much as I could get it on my body!

For girls who are of a larger cup size, going up a dress size is recommended. The girls were a bit crammed in. The cut of the dress shows off all the right curves and covers the ones you would like hidden!

This dress is so beautiful and glittery in person--it looks great in the sunlight, indoors, and especially in photos. You can totally wear a standard bra and undies, which is awesome. The dress comes up quite high underneath the armpits, but the sequins weren't too uncomfortable to deal with. The dress fits relatively true to size and there is not very much stretch in the fabric; on me, it was tighter around the hips and chest, and a smidgen loose around the waist, which is what typically happens on my hourglass figure. If you are not generously endowed in the chest area, you will need to either pin the neckline higher or use double-sided tape to keep the neckline where you want it. I didn't have any issues with the neckline while I was standing, but it did have a tendency to gape a little when I was sitting down and relaxing my posture. I got the regular length, which was perfect for my 4 inch heels. Overall, a gorgeous dress!

I ended up not wearing either dress I ordered (6L and 8L). There is little stretch in the bust of the dress and as a result, my top-heavy self could not get the dress zipped up over my ribcage. So busty women, beware. Seriously. Even if I got it zipped, the neckline came so far down below my cleavage, it would have been inappropriate and there's no amount of fabric tape that can help that situation. Oddly enough, I did not see this issue in a single photo and only read about it once or twice in reviews. Maybe I'm shorter in that area, so the straps were longer, causing me to pull the dress down too far? I don't know. But the dress is stunning, no question. It just wouldn't fit me and I was incredibly disappointed.

The dress was very comfortable! The material on the inside is soft and fairly stretchy, which was great because I have a very petite upper body and I'm more curvy in my lower body. The dress didn't chafe me at all either. The only problem I had was the length, but then again I am 5'1". I ended up having it temporarily hemmed, so it would occasionally get caught on my heels, but walking it in was a breeze otherwise. Highly recommend this dress! I truly felt like a queen.

I was very pleasantly surprise at how easy the process was and how perfect the dress fit. I found the reviews and photos very helpful in my decision making process and I am very pleased with the results. I will defiantly use this service again for upcoming weddings and formal events.

This dress was beautiful and dramatic! It fit like a glove and accentuated curves I don't even really have! I got the long version and with 4inch heels with a 1 inch platform it was the perfect length to just touch the floor. Overall beautiful, classy and memorable!

I ordered the 2R with the 0R as my back-up size (5'6, 112lbs, 32A, 25 in waist) and ended up wearing the 2. I have kind of a broad rib cage, and the 0 did not zip up easily. I did end up using the fashion tape to keep the deep V in check. I definitely recommend using it. Also, I don't know if this dress would work well for busty girls. The bust doesn't have much stretch at all, and the V is very deep. The dress was not as short on me as it is on the model in the photo. I wore 3 inch heels, and the front still grazed the floor. I got tons of compliments from total strangers, and felt like an absolute movie star. I definitely recommend this dress!

Fits very true to size. The lining is made of a stretchy cotton material, which makes it very comfortable to wear. You can wear a regular bra. I suggest girls over 5'8 wearing a slightly shorter heel because even though I wore a Long, the front of the dress was a bit short. Still looked amazing, though. Will definitely be using Rent The Runway for future events :)

This dress fits like a glove with just enough stretch to make it very comfortable. It fit well through the bust and did not gap much when bending over. The length was perfect with a reasonable heel height. The length of the torso was a bit short for me causing the waist of the dress to sit a bit high, but it was not enough of an issue for me to wear a size up. The waist height in the size 2 was perfect for me, but the top gapped a bit too much, so I chose to wear the size 0.

Based on customer pictures, I thought a size 6R would fit me - 5'3", 127 lbs. It was extremely tight throughout the midsection and yet the bosom gaped - and I'm a 36C. It felt like the dress was meant for an anorexic model with giant boobs. I had to return it unworn and purchase a dress the day before my event.
