Badgley Mischka

The color is more blue than grey which was perfect for my red white and blue event. The draping in the back was a nice detail. The dress was the perfect length whereas only the tips of my shoes peeped thru - I rented the L and am 5'8". I am normally a size 14/16 and the 14 was perfect - but keep in mind this is stretchy material so I think if you are looking for something to snug the body, go with a size smaller. I was hoping for more body support to the dress but it didn't have it - still, used spanx to help out in that arena. All in all great experience and rental.

I rented this gown and another one as back up to attend my husband's Marine Corps Ball. I ended up wearing the other dress, but this one was beautiful. The 8L wasn't available, so I got the 6L and 10L. The 6L fit, but was pretty snug... and the piece of fabric on the right shoulder was not the same as in the picture. This dress had the same straps on both shoulders. The 10L fit much better, but was very fitted on my butt. The dress is heavy because of all of the sequins.

pros- definitely stands out, easy to put on, can wear any bra you want cons- was scared to snag it, and it was long on me even with heals and Im 5'2 (still danced though)

Pros: - Ability to try the dress on prior to the event - Ease of delivery and return - Received many compliments on the dress Con: - Dress was only in one length, had to use hem tape Fit: - Ran small, normally a 6, wore an 8

First, Rent the Runway has amazing customer service and organization. I chose the next day arrival option and received it by the next afternoon. As for the dress, it was beyond my expectations. It had stretch, but ran true to size. The color was a grayish blue - exactly as pictured. Also, this dress hides a multitude of sins, so if you're self-conscious about your size (as I am) this dress will make you feel beautiful. It managed to be sexy without being loud, and elegant without being conservative. I highly recommend this dress, but more than anything I am sold on Rent the Runway. I will continue to rent here exclusively for formal events.

Absolutely loved this dress – wore it to an opening night and received tons of compliments on it. Incredibly flattering and just so pretty. Wore the 2 Long and it was perfect; I’m 5’7” and my heels were 3.5-4” (I don’t know exactly – but I could have gone a little higher with the heels and still been ok.)

I wore this dress to a black tie wedding. I needed a "Bump Friendly" dress as I was 8 weeks pregnant with my second child and had a small bump. The dress fits tight but because of all the sequences you could not notice any belly. I ordered the long which works well with heels but if you plan to wear flats do not order the long as you will be stepping on it all night. The blue color is beautiful and you cannot get the true depth of the royal blue through the picture shown.

I got a 6 and 4R ordered. A day before my dress was to ship, RTR called to tell me they only had one dress they could send me. I was unsure of the sizing, so I selected another dress, a gold sparkly Badgley Mischka. The dresses arrived the next day as planned, but RTR was cool enough to send me both sparkly gold dresses and this sparkly blue in the one size they did have. Surprisingly to me, the blue fit - I was sure it would be too tight or not long enough. Both were just fine. I typically wear a 6 and I'm almost 5'9" so wearing a 4R was kind of awesome :) I will say though, the dress draping must have gotten flipped around when it was shipped and I COULD NOT figure out how to wear it for, I kid you not, 25 minutes. I finally figured it out after staring at the picture on RTR! Once I got it figured out, I was very happy with the dress. I was not irritated by the sequins and I was complimented on all night in the days to follow when pictures popped up on Facebook. I wore this to my husband's Marine Corps Ball and found it to be very tasteful, elegant and fun - very appropriate for the Ball!

The dress did seem a bit snug around the mid-section/hips, which made it ride up a little bit. I did need to use the fashion tape so that my bra back wouldn't hang out from the upper back of the dress. I also needed to use the fashion tape to secure the hem so that the underlining didn't stick out.

I rented this dress for a formal NY Eve dinner/dance at a private club. I received alot of compliments on it and when I told my girlfriends about the site, they are all ready to sign up! The reviews of the clothes are a HUGE help. I decided on this one over a silver strapless sequin based on the reviews. One in particular where the person described herself as 5'5, 150 pounds that took a 10R helped me to decide on trying the 8R and 10R as I'm 5'4, 145 pounds. I tried the 10R first and it fit like a glove! I didn't even try on the 8R. I LOVE that RTR will send you 2 sizes at no additional cost. It was a tad long but with 5 inch heels I had no problem. This will be my go to site and not just for formal - I saw some great dresses I would love to wear for other fun occasions but not fork out the big designer bucks! LOVE THIS SITE! We only had our phones to take photos with, so the full length shot is not real clear. The dress is flattering especially if you are heavy in the middle, which is where I carry my weight! It feels/looks very Jean Harlow, Greta Garbo, "old Hollywood Glamour-esqe"

Loved this dress, it was just a little bit too short. The size 6 didn't fit as well in the body but was longer.

This dress fit like a dream and I received compliments all night long! I ordered the 4L and the 6L, both were shorter than I had anticipated. I liked the fit of the 4L but needed extra length so, I ended up wearing the 6L. I wasn't able to wear heels, because I wanted the dress to hit the floor; instead I wore simple black patten leather ballet flats. If you are over 5'7 I highly recommend going with the XL.

I absolutely loved this dress. It made me look so tiny and it was really flattering. The only issue I had was that it was just barely long enough with 2.5 inch heels, and I usually wear higher heels than that. So, if you are taller than me or want to wear higher heels, you may need the long.

I thought it ran a little small compared to other things I have rented. It was very comfortable, elegant yet festive.

It fits well and makes a great statement. The lining has enough stretch to fit snugly without feeling stiff. Spanx definitely help accentuate the waist and make the ruching look better

I wore this dress for my husband's military ball and it was beautiful! I loved how unique it was. I received compliments all evening. I felt like a movie star :) The only negative would be that it was a little long, since I only wore a 2 inch heel, but otherwise it was perfect! Looking forward to the next rental experience! Thanks RTR!! :)

I am 5'9" and was worried about the length because I didn't want to wear 4 in heels. Perfect length with 2" heels. Didn't have to wear a strapless bra!!!! So in a nutshell, Awesome dress!!!!

THis dress is very comfrotable. I was worried about it being too long, but it was perfect with a moderate (3") heel. beacuse of the way it gathers, even if it was a little too long, you'd be able to adjust the way it falls around the hips and have no problem. I wore it to a very formal Hollywood party and got lots of compliments. (I am wearing an RTR bracelet as well) The color is defeinitely blue (in the official picture I wasn't sure if it was blue-black or not); I wore dark silver/pewter shoes.

This was my first time using RTR and I was very pleased. This dress was not my first choice, but had I known how beautiful it was on, I would have made it my first choice. It runs true to size and I had zero fit issues. The sequins caused a tiny bit of discomfort under the arms, but nothing terrible. I got many compliments throughout the night and would wear this dress again!

The dress looks like it's worth millions thanks to all the sparkle. The fabric (covered in dark blue shimmery sequins) is stretchy so it can accommodate many body flaws and easy to sit down in. I have a wide rib cage and could have fit in the 8L zipped up half way (there's a fabric panel like the front that covers the back and would cover the up zipped zipper) but choose to wear the 10L fully zipped for comfort. The length on the 8L was perfect, the 10L about 1" too long with my 2-1/2" heels (light blue satin slingbacks) but instead of using the provided Hollywood tape, I pulled the dress up a bit in the waist and it fell like a natural rouching (there was some there already). The only issue was that a couple people were stepping on the back of my dress so I had to be careful to pick up the dress as I walked. I received so many complements about the fit being so good (lots of spanx and a strapless bra) and I only had to wear a couple of large drop earrings (costume jewelry) since the dress was such a statement. After the event many of my girlfriends were trying to get me to buy the dress as they thought it was a keeper! I got one other dress (black one shoulder, long) to choose as I never had used RTR before but there was no question once I got the dresses that this was the one I would wear. The packaging was excellent (felt luxurious in a garment bag with a little packet of per-event Hollywood tape and shaving cream) and the mailer to send back was just the right size if you fold the gown in thirds. (RTR sent me 2 mailers, 1 for the 2 sizes and 1 for the other kind of dress). Overall the whole experience was FANTASTIC.

Fit was perfect, usually wear 2 or 4 depending on brand.

This was my backup dress. I didn't end up wearing it because the other dress looked better. The fabric has quite a lot of give, and so it fit well, but this dress had so much sparkle/wow factor that I would have worn it if it were a size 12. At a size 10 the draping was a little short because of my bust, and I would have preferred more draping so it looked more like the picture.

I tried this dress on in the showroom and after so many misses this was the only dress that made sense. I loved how I felt in it... I felt fancy... But after a while that cowl on the shoulder started to irritate me as the night progressively got more dancey drunky sweatyness. But in the beginning I definitely adored it. Flattering. Stretchy. Clings just the right way.

I wore this dress for a military ball. The dress was certainly one of a kind, and I received many compliments!! The fit was definitely slim against the body, so I made sure to wear spanx with it, and I felt amazing! I loved the earrings they suggested to wear with it as well. Thank you RTR!! I'll be back!

Overall, it fit very well for my body type. For that many sequins, it was actually very comfortable! The clasp above the zipper in the back was very difficult to hook, even with assistance. However it was easily remedied with a small piece of fashion tape. Loved the dress and received hundreds of complements all night!

This was the perfect dress to wear to a military ball, accompanying my boyfriend. The dress is beautiful enough without the need for many accessories, if any, at all. I chose to rent a pair of earrings and wore one bracelet of my own. I chose the 4R and the 4L, tried on the 4L first and did not even try on the 4R. I paired the gown with 4in heels and I wanted the dress to sweep the floor JUST enough and it did :-). Pros: If you want to sparkle and shine then this is the dress for you. After the ball, we decided to go back into the city and spent the rest of the evening at a rooftop event. People literally yelled out of cabs to tell me how beautiful my dress was. The fit is perfect for women with curves. It stretched enough that I felt a size smaller would have been perfect for a woman without curves. I didn't wear anything under the dress aside from my regular undergarments (no spanx, etc.). This was perfectly fine and I felt comfortable. The sleeves of the dress stayed in place all night, which I loved. I have very bony shoulders and sleeveless dresses tend to slip off of me, but I had no problem in this dress. Cons: Ummmm this will be pretty minor, but my hair got caught in the sequins, just a bit. I expected it anyways, and I'm sure this would have happened in any sequined dress. I would recommend a classic updo if this bothers you. It really didn't bother me at all.

Wore my back-up gown which fortunately worked perfectly!

I was worried the dress would be heavy because of all the sequins, but it was very comfortable and light. Made me feel classy and glamorous the whole night. I usually wear between a 12 and 14, and the 14 in this dress fit me perfectly in the bust so I wore it instead of the 12, which fit better in the waist. So if you are between sizes but have a small bust the 12 will probably work. My only complaint is that the long length version of my size wasn't available, and the regular one was way too short. For reference, I'm 5'7" and wore 2" heels and the dress barely came to my ankles if I stood up straight. I felt like I needed to tug it down or bend my knees the whole night. So definitely go by the size chart!

LOVE LOVE LOVE this dress. Fit like a glove. Received so many compliments. Covers the "mummy tummy" with style. The 4L was the perfect length with 4 in heels. Navy color was rich and beautiful...very slimming too.

Loved everything about this dress! Not too flashy, but still a head turner! Got so many compliments. Fit perfect and was VERY comfortable!!! I would recommend this dress to ANYONE!!!

Had to try it out, but ended up wearing the other dress style i picked out. It was nice, fit well, would hide any unseemly areas well but was just too over the top for me... maybe another time.

I wore this for a Gatsby themed charity gala. It was stunning. It was a bit thrown by the very small train so I tried to watch the back as much as possible. Overall I am very pleased with this dress.

The fit was perfect, very flattering in all the right places. I am short and I didn't have to wear 4" heels to make it work. It hid a bit of a tummy and was a little lighter in color than it looks in the picture. Someone even came up to me and told me I had the best dress in the room. I got compliments on it all night.

I didn't end up wearing this dress, as it was my back up. The color is great and the fit is great too. It was a drop tight around the middle but spanx can fix that lol. Works well if you have a large chest! I would definitely consider this dress again

This dress is so flattering! It is classy and flashy at the same time.I am very skinny and straight but this dress made me look shapely. I wore it to a formal dinner at the Wynn in Las Vegas and it was perfect for that, even in a sea of high end formal wear. It is comfortable too; I was able to wear a regular bra and the armholes are cut just right so the sequins don't irritate...I was able to dance, no problem. I am a little over 5'4" and the length just brushed the floor (about 1/2") in 3" heels. I can't wait to have occasion to wear this one again.

I am usually a true 4; but because I am pregnant I went up to a 6 and ordered a long. I'm glad I did! The dress in the L wasn't very long at all. The color is more of a royal blue than the pictured navy. My picture post is pretty accurate color wise. There is also some stretch to it which makes it comfortable to move around in.

This was my back up dress, and I had ordered it in 4L. While it looked fine on, it was extremely snug through the bust and on the short side. A 6 XL would have been a better fit had I opted to wear this dress. It doesn't show much in the photo, but there is shirring on the left hip which does create a nice curvy illusion for my rather straight waist and hip area. Definitely spans the age spectrum…I could see my mother in this dress, and possibly my daughter.

I rented this dress for a black-tie holiday party. I'm almost 5 months pregnant and needed something that would work with my bump. I had rented a Badgley Mischka before and new the sequin dresses have quite a bit of give and this one was no exception. I usually wear a size 6 and rented a size 8 and 10. I ended up wearing the 8 but both would have worked well. In fact, it was hard to tell I'm even pregnant: the bit of ruching on the side and the "flap" over the shoulder camouflaged my belly nicely. I would definitely rent this dress once I've had the baby- it's super flattering and makes you look thin and curvy in all the right spots. Got lots of compliments!

Did not wear this one but it was nice.

Fit was amazing, it was just the right length.
