Comfortable, flattering, high quality
5'5'' and 229 lbs and I got an 18W which fit perfectly. I got a lot of compliments on this one! And I was happy to find that the sequins weren't scratchy. Thrilled with this pick

This was a fun dress for Halloween party! It definitely turned heads in a good way. It was a little too revealing in the chest area but that was easily fixed with a safety pin. I found it fit true to size and I felt comfortable in it!

great comfortable sparkly dress perfect for my cousin's black tie wedding
The sequins didn't rub nor hurt arms all night. Very booby, and you could see my bra, I needed to safety pin in the front, took about 10 tries to get it right, and needed to keep an eye out so you didn't see the pin all night. Would rent this dress again. Recommended to get a spray tan before so you don't look washed out.

This was worn for a costume ball at a conference.
This dress fit so well and had so much sparkle to it! The straps on the arms were a little loose and there is a good deal of cleavage, but other than that, it fit amazingly well and was roomy enough that it didn't require Spanx. Normally I would order a 16 from the regular sizing in the Badley Mischka line of items, but chose this one since that size wasn't available. It definitely worked just fine and I highly recommend it!

While taking engagement pictures on the streets of Brooklyn I felt glamorous and SO fancy!
I got both a 16W and 18w and ended up wearing the 18 but only because the zipper of the 16 was a struggle and kept getting stuck. Like other reviews said, I did pin the bust area a little bit because a lot of cleavage showed and I wore it foe our engagement pictures. Random strangers stopped me to compliment the dress and I felt beautiful!

I LOOKED SO PRETTY! (Runs a tiny bit large.)
I really loved wearing this, although it ran a tiny bit large and I had to pin it in the front. You can see from the side view (in the photo where I'm smooching my dude) that it gapped a tiny bit in certain positions. (Next to me in the first photo is my gal pal Lara, also in a RTR Bagdley Mischka frock, in my home made photo booth on New Years Eve 2014-2015). I might actually buy this one, though!

Company Christmas party 1 night; 1920s themed wedding & Justin Timberlake concert another night
I absolutely loved this dress and the fit of it. The drape is very flattering. It's got a very deep V in front, so I wore a tank top underneath. It came up a little shorter in the back than I would normally wear, but I felt good in it. My only complaint was that the zipper was a little hard to get up, but other than that, I can't say enough good things about it. I got soooo many compliments on this dress when I wore it, from friends and strangers, and since I posted pics on Facebook, I've had several friends ask me where they can get one. This was my first time renting from Rent the Runway, and the process was incredibly smooth. I'm already planning when I can rent my next dress!

Sparkle sparkle fun!
The dress is nice and sparkly. Perfect for a bachelorette party. About the dress fit: The top is big. I wore a 14w and wear a 40DDD/F and it kept revealing my bra. I personally didn't care because I was wearing a sash, but it was still annoying. The waist band was a little snug, but nothing uncomfortable.

It was perfect for a night out in Las Vegas...especially New Year's Eve!
I had to order up as my normal size was not in stock. I had read the reviews that it ran small, but when it arrived, I knew it would be too big. The bust and stomach areas had too much fabric. I had to safety pin the bust area because it was so large. The zipper does stick a bit, so just be gentle when putting it on. Overall, the dress is gorgeous. It was perfect for a night out in Las Vegas on New Year's Eve. I got tons of compliments, and I would totally recommend this to others. Just be careful on the sizing.

The top was too big, and I wished later I had tried the size smaller. That said, I felt special and very glamorous. I received compliments from complete strangers and was super comfortable. I wore the dress for a photo shoot, dinner, gambling & dancing in Vegas for my birthday. It was wonderful!

I didn't actually end up wearing this dress
The dress runs a little big, but definetly short. I noticed it felt a little worn.... My husband didn't care for it either and felt it looked a little cheap. I was disappointed because the picture makes it look so fun!

This dress was very comfortable. If you are busty and we're worried about modesty you would likely want to pin the front of the dress, it's pretty revealing with cleavage... which, was fun for a night out for my bachelorette.

I could totally wear a bra with this. Great for bustier girls. The sequins on the back do scratch a bit but not so much to cause a distraction. Would wear again and again. I got tons of compliments!

I sized down after reading reviews and the fit was perfect! The top did gape a little but but a bit of fashion tape took care of that. So pretty and the fit was especially flattering! I would definitely rent it again!

The kids loved the way this dress sparkled and didn't care that it made my shape look funny
This dress is gorgeous but it fit funny. I'm very large chested (38H) and it was too big and very low cut. I had to wear a tube liner under it. It isn't flattering on my large tummy. I wanted to like it but I think this is more for an hourglass shaped body which I'm not.

Loved it!
Loved this dress! It was comfortable, flattering, the sparkle and wow factor was perfect for my event. The lining has stretch, which is so nice and forgiving when you're sitting down--not common with a sheath-type dress. You can wear a regular bra! I opted for a cami because I am very busty (D cup), and my hubby didn't want me running around town (without him) with a lot of cleavage showing. I received a lot of compliments everywhere I went!

I normally wear a 12/14 and sized up since the dress is formal and I was unsure of the fit. The top was a little big on me and I had to clip it. I'm a 40DD.

Compliments all night long!
I received compliments all night when I wore this for my bachelorette. People literally went out of their way to tell me how amazing I looked. I found the dress to to a bit large in the chest but it fit great everywhere else. The sequins can be a bit scratchy on the underarms but it was worth it to feel like I did in this dress!

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G Night of Badgley Mischka FUN!!!!
This was my first time using RTR! My only prior hesitancy was with sizing. The dress is AMAZING so I knew I would love it but I usually wear a size 16. I highly recommend reading all previous reviews. Having done so, I decided to order a size 14W and 16W just in case. Being able to order a backup size alleviated any fears I had regarding size. I did have to use a safety pin to close the chest area up a bit but it fit very well. I loved how the length came just above the knee. The material had a stretchy feel to it but did not cling to your unforgiving parts. I did not need help with the zipper but it did require 2 hands so you may need someone to help zip it up completely. I received several compliments from other wedding guests on how they loved the dress. I absolutely ADORED it! The dress does command attention so be prepared for lots of smiles and random compliments.

Wore this dress for my engagement photos! Sparkly, comfortable, flattering and overall super cute.
Loved this dress! The sequins were surprisingly very comfortable, as well as the overall fit of the dress. It does run a little small to street sizes, but accurate to formal ones. As others have said, I needed to pin the front to avoid showing a little too much, but it was nice to be able to wear a normal bra! I will probably be renting this one again!

Perfect for my 21st Birthday / Sorority Semi-Formal!
This dress was the perfect amount of glam for my 21st! The dress overall was a little looser than what I would have wanted, especially in the bust area. I have a large chest, but this dress required a few pins to make sure everything was held up, and I wasn't flashing my bra throughout the night. Overall this dress is very comfortable- I did not have any issues with comfort. As for delivery, I was worried my dress would not get to me in time. It was supposed to come on Thursday (event Saturday), but it did not get to me until Friday night. With having to pay extra for shipping, I would have been more at ease had my dress arrived on time.

Loved this dress. Fit very well, true to size, hid all my problem areas well. I have a large chest and did not have a problem with too much cleavage. It's not a gold as I expected. Super comfortable, I actually wore it two nights in a row to two separate holiday parties. Would rent again for sure!

Fit great, I did have to put a safety pin in the cleavage area but I am a nursing Momma so that may have been a factor. I just had a baby and this style hid my extra baby belly SO well. The dress was incredibly comfortable, I danced all night long!

This dress is absolutely FANTASTIC. I got SO MANY compliments and felt like a star!!
It is chesty but not too chesty, and I have a really large bust. I wore spanx with it but took them off when I got home and turns out I didn't need to wear the spanx. The way the dress is gathered made it unnecessary. If you have very large arms/shoulders the arm holes may be an issue. They were snug on me and I don't typically have that problem. The dress was really comfortable and looked beautiful. I will definitely be renting it again.

Perfect Party Dress
Loved this dress it was perfect for my bachelorette party! Like the other reviewers the zipper is difficult. Not because of size it is just extremely difficult to maneuver (requires someone else to zip). The bust was big on me but with some safety pins it was perfect. Very comfortable, no irritation from the sequins.

Stand Around & Look Pretty
Fit-wise, it was large in the bust but I wasn't falling out of it-- I wore a 14 and I'm a 36G. I was actually able to wear a regular bra with it so that helped a lot. Everything else felt true to size. The sequins did accidentally catch on my friend's dress at one point, but other than that they were surprisingly comfortable. This is really a stunning dress. Don't wear this if you're a wallflower or if you're embarrassed by compliments. It looks great in photos and in person. I was joking that I could just stand around and look pretty.

This dress was amazing. It fit really well and I got so many compliments throughout the night! I usually wear a 14/16 and the 14W fit perfectly. If you don't want to have a lot of cleavage then this dress is not for you. I didn't have too many problems with it, but had to check a few times to make sure I wasn't falling out.
