First post-vaccination party! A friend's 40th birthday with a sequin theme.
This dress fit true to size and looked amazing even after I gained quite a bit of weight after the past year. It emphasized the good and deemphasized my stomach and hips. It is very low cut so I could not find a bra that would work to keep the girls in place and not show. Thankfully "boob tape" worked really well. I still needed double sided tape to also keep the chest area in place since the deep v cut could be very revealing. I wear a D-cup, but this dress had some extra space in the chest area. Tape helped, but I did notice things slip a little throughout the evening when I was dancing a lot. Overall I absolutely loved this dress. After more than a year of quarantine, I was not feeling so great about how I look and was nervous about going to a party. This dress made me look and feel fabulous and also was comfortable to move and dance in.

Need to be ok with a deep v neck, but overall very comfortable to wear.
I’m 5’5” 130 lbs with a 34DDD. Dress was a tinch loose in the bust, but I used boob tape for the first time because of the deep v in front and back, and I think that squashed the girls a little. Badgely Mischka seems to be very consistent with their sizing across dresses.

Show stopper of dress
I rented this dress for my daughter's Winter Wonderland Sweet Sixteen Party in January 2023. I previously wore a similar style in rose gold to her First Communion party so I was familiar with this style. The fit was amazing. I carry my weight in my mid section so I needed something to camouflage that area. This dress did the trick. I got a ton of compliments and I felt like a million bucks. It was a little low cut but I pinned it a little. The zipper was a little stiff.

Flattering in Navy
This dress is so flattering! I was between sizes but opted up for more comfort in waist/hip area. The size 8 was a little more revealing/loose up top so I used tape to help keep things in. Other reviewers mentioned how heavy this dress is & they were spot on. It was good for indoors but I wouldn't want to wear it out in the heat. The sequins are a little out of my comfort zone but jazzy enough for my roaring 20s/formal event.

Stunning and comfortable
The size zero fit best but the sequins were worn so a lot of them looked silver rather than navy. Thats the only reason I didnt wear it but the two fit perfect also. Was just a little looser through the midsection and hips. The length was just below the knees (5'2") I can see the top definitely being an issue for a smaller bust. The sequins didnt rub my arms like I thought they would. Overall, another fabulous RTR dress and I received so many compliments!

Rented both 18 & 20. Having a long torso the 20 fit better for overall look. Was a little big, but between both sizes size 20 fit my 6 foot frame better. Had to use double sided tape as going up a size the top was a little big & exposed more cleavage & my bra. Received many compliments! Very comfortable & danced all night!

Loved this dress! So glad I got to try something so far out of my comfort zone.
The top was a bit loose but I was able to keep it in place with safety pins. I was worried about it being short but it was a good length. The party was Alice in Wonderland themed and I went as the bottle she drinks from. So many people loved the dress and there was nothing like it at the party.

Perfect size and super cute
getting a size down as suggested was perfect, it fit like a glove. If I had gotten my regular size the bust would have been too big. Good amount of cleavage and dip in the back. Usually I have trouble finding dresses that look good with my long torso. The dress was well made and in great shape. This was my first time using Rent the Runway and definitely will use again.

Love the dress, got many compliments. It was a looser fit than I expected. I had to pin the top for a little less cleavage and I am 5'3" so I pinned the dress to fall at my knee. Very comfortable otherwise. I wish I would've ordered a size down.

I got two sizes (10 and 12) and the 12 fit best. I had to safety pin the plunging neckline like others mentioned, but it was gorgeous and got lots of compliments! It was really forgiving. The top was a tad big and the torso was a smidge tight at the top of the zipper, but it worked well for me.

Badgley Mischka never misses :) Can't ever go wrong with sequins and an appropriate colour for a January wedding in Puerto Rico. Also, January in Puerto Rico is super nice weather while everywhere else in the U.S. is pretty much cooler temps.

I liked this dress a lot. I'm 5'8" , 190lbs and a 38C. The top is def a little large - it worked for me but if you're small chested, it would probably be too big in that area. I am usually a size 12 so i would def size up because it doesn't give much. Overall, I liked it! I got a ton of complements!

Everyone raved about the dress and I felt awesome!
I typically wear a 14W and the 14 fit great in the chest and shoulders but was too tight in the waist so i ended up wearing the 16W. It was great! I was very comfortable all night. I had to pin the shoulders to my bra strap because they were a bit big but it worked out ok. The zipper was a struggle. I had to put it on with the zipper mostly up. I wish I had more fancy events to go to so I could rent again!

I've rented this dress in gold before, and I loved it so much that I rented it in navy for a formal dinner. It's sexy without being over the top. I felt beautiful the entire night! It does have some fabric that bunches around the hips that will accent that area. If you're pretty straight & narrow like me it will give your figure a bit of an hourglass illusion!

This dress was fabulous! Very comfortable and fit well! It runs large but I went with the bigger size for a little extra length. The zipper was a little tricky, as other reviews have stated, but my husband was able to zip it up. Received lots of compliments on it! Don't debate on this dress... Rent it!! It's great!

Sexy dress, great for curves!
I loved this dress and I received so many compliments. I'm really curvy and it hugged all the right places. I'm in between sizes and still felt like a had a little room at the waist. It was a bit low on top so i had to add a stitch so my bra wouldn't show but it was still a sexy low V. I'd love to get this dress in another color for another event.

Stunning dress
I've actually rented this dress in gold and was surprised that the fit was a little larger in the bust for this specific dress, assuming just due to wear. As with the other, it's a flattering dress for pear shapes, accentuating the waist leaving plenty of room for hips. It's a very classy, stunning dress, and little heavy from the sequins. I got compliments all night!

Client wore dress for contemporary glamour session.
I am a contemporary glamour portrait photographer and I rented this dress for my client to wear as one of her looks for her session. The dress was true to fit--the size 12 fit her perfectly--the wide straps allowed her to wear a regular bra, the blue color looked amazing on her skin tone, and the dress fabric felt high-quality with just enough stretch to follow her curves. The cut of the dress was extremely flattering--the plunging v-neck and nipped-in waste flattered her shape so nicely. The images I attached are cropped to hide her identity, per her request. Client was 36 years old, 5' 6", a "D" cup size, and normally wore a size 12. http://shannonhemauerphotography.com/

This super flattering dress, that somehow was also comfortable, made my night at my friend's wedding perfect. I got compliments all night, from friends, other guests I didn't know, and people randomly on the street (not catcalling) who stopped me to tell me how gorgeous it was. It's perfect for ladies who don't love their stomachs. This was also the first dress I haven't had to wear a bra with since I was 12, and didn't feel like I was flaunting cleavage. Highly recommend.

I typically wear a 14/16 in pants and large/xl top and ended up with the 16 dress (14 wasn't close). I am a thick girl and felt very comfortable in this dress. It hides the bad parts :) I did have to use a pin and still showed a ton of cleavage, but I was fine with that. The dress I got was definitely worn - the sequins were half blue half silver. I will be renting again in the future.
