Badgley Mischka

Too bad I didn't wear them. The 8 was to small. The 10 was too tight around the bust area. The 12 was too big. I would say this dress runs a size small.

The dress is a beautiful bright cobalt blue! I ordered the 4R and 6R. Initially, I thought I was going to wear the 6R, but it was a little too long and loose in the bust/hips. On the day of the wedding I ended up wearing the 4R, which was tighter in the bust and hips. I am short-waisted, so the boning was a bit uncomfortable by the end of the night and you could see a little wrinkle where the dress hit my hips, but because of the design it wasn't too obvious. The overall design of the dress has a very slimming look and I received compliments all night long!

I'm new to formal wear, and I reserved this dress in a 6L with a 4L as my backup completing guessing on my size (5'9 140lbs). Luckily i had the dress scheduled to come 2 days before my event Bc the 4L was too big especially in the bust. I did not even bother to try on the 6L. I called RTR and luckily there was one 2L in stock which they overnighted. The 2 was a little tight but not in a bad way, the dress really hugged my curves. HOWEVER although he dress I received was labeled as. 2L I am almost positive it was a 2R. The 4L dragged on the floor when I was barefoot, whereas the "2L" I received barely skimmed the floor... So I had to ditch the 2.5" heels I had originally planned to wear and instead wore ballet flats which gave the dress the perfect length. Overall this dress was so so perfect and I was so sad to ship it back this morning!

Dress fit amazingly! The color is beautiful! The train is a bit long so you have to be careful it won't get stepped on if you're going to a crowded event.

Absolutely beautiful color and style! I felt like a true queen in this dress. I learned through a previous RTR experience with this designer that sizes run smaller especially if you have a chest. I wore an 8L so I could wear heels (I'm 5'8) . Having a full bust this dress needed a strapless bra underneath on top of the normal padding. Perfect dress and beautiful fit and color!

I was hoping this would fit but it was all around tight. Very tight in hips. My friend came over to see the dresses and she normally wears a size 2 and the size 8 was just a little big on her It is a Beautiful dress.

I didn't end up wearing this dress because although it was absolutely stunning, it fit big...so if you are a size 0 I am not sure I would recommend this dress unless you have a large bust size. Because I wish'd it had been the right size, I can see how it could just be stunning!

I was nervous to rent this dress because of the reviews it received about it running small, but I'm glad I took the chance. This dress is A-MA--ZING! Got soooo many compliments on the color. If you are tall I would suggest you not where 5 inch or higher heels. For a long I found it a see bit short and had to adjust my shoe selection but other than that...it was a hit!!!

This dress has a beautiful sheen and the color is stunning. I love the silhouette. It is very long, though, as you can see on the model it is meant to be. I had to wear the tallest of my tall shoes and dancing (any more than some hip wiggles) was unfeasible. But the goal was to look elegant, and so it was successful!

I unfortunately was not able to wear this dress because it was so incredibly long! If you are petite, you should not order this dress. I have a small waist and fuller hips, so it was looser in the waist and quite tight through the hips. There is little to no stretch in the fabric, so there is not much wiggle room for a curvier figure. Bottom line, if you are tall and have a straighter figure this dress should fit! But I would suggest reconsidering renting this if you are petite and/or curvy.

I wore this incredible cobalt blue gown for my sister's wedding this weekend and the compliments were nonstop! The mermaid shape was extremely flattering - fitted but still comfortable enough for an evening of dancing. At 5'10" tall, the extra length was perfect with my 4 inch heels. The dress fit so beautifully that it felt as though it was tailored just for me. Another amazing rental that I was sad to return - thank you RTR, you are simply the best!

I ordered this dress as my original, but decided to go with another one. It fit well in the hips, which I was concerned with, but the bust was a little large.

I was overnighted this dress because the original one I got I didn't like. It was so easy!!! This dress was stunning. I received several complements. I'm about 5 feet tall and the only down fall is that it was pretty long on me. Because of the train I could pull it off but I had to hold the bottom up to walk around.

Had to wear the 6 which was a bit large because the hem on the 4 was visibly frayed

My original dress was unavailable at the last minute and this was the backup dress recommended by RTR customer service. I hadn't noticed the dress in my initial search and was so glad things worked out as they did. The color was stunning, as was the cut. I have a much smaller top half than bottom and this dress fit close, but not too tight. It was incredibly long for my frame, even with the 4inch heels I wore. Would absolutely rent again!

great customer service. I picked the dress up at the RTR store in Flatiron NYC - there was a problem with the lining of the dress - the representative had it mended and sent me away with a back up dress just in case.

This dress fit perfectly!!

This dress was comfortable and flattering. The color is beautiful too. However the picture kind of implies that it has a train which it doesn't

The dress is absolutely stunning! If you have hips (which I certainly do), size up and go another size up for your back-up. I religiously wear a size 8 and it took two hungry days to wear the 10 comfortably. This was a perfect dress for our Casablanca themed holiday ball and I would absolutely rent it again.

The 6R fit well. Gorgeous dress and gorgeous color! Lots of compliments :) dress material is pretty light too, the train is a tad long but pretty.

I love this dress, it was heart-wrenching to have to mail it back after my event! I wore it to a black tie event for a country club and was absolutely the belle of the ball. People kept coming up to me and effusively telling me how lovely the dress was! Even my boyfriend's buddies were effusive in their compliments (I feel like if several 22 year old men can put together coherent compliments, that must be a good sign). The only two issues I found with the dress are the wiring in the top and the hem. Some of the support wiring in the top stuck out on the inside (probably because this dress has been too loved), but I just covered it with duct tape and it didn't bother me at all. The hem is lined on the inside with a stiff, black netting to give the hem some depth, but it kept folding out so that the mesh was visible. I really don't think this is a big deal, most fancy events have soft lighting so it wouldn't be a distraction, not to mention that this dress is so gorgeous, no one is going to be looking at the bottom of it.

I absolutely LOVED this dress. It fit like a glove. I wore it to a ball and received tons of compliments. I am only 5'1" so the only downside was that I had to blind stitch the bottom due to it being about 3 inches too long. I also wore 4 inch heels.

Runs a little small.... Fit perfectly everywhere else. Although after dinner sitting down became a challenge. Also, photos don't do the color justice.

I rented this gown for a formal even that I'm attending, and I'm definitely glad that I ordered a backup as there was no way I could wear this gown. Let me start by saying that it is lovely. The fabric is heavy without being stifling (e.g. it is high quality but will still breathe) and the color is just phenomenal. I love the shape of the gown and the wrap/bow detail is unique and pretty. However, this gown seemed to run VERY small in the chest area. I am typically a size 10, sometimes a 12 in formal wear, so I ordered both a 10 and a 12, The 10 was pretty tight all over, so I switched up to the 12. The 12 fit in the waist and hips but was a good half inch away from even closing around my upper rib cage and bust. I'm a C cup, so I wouldn't even say I'm particularly well endowed! I think this gown would be best for someone with an athletic figure- relatively even hips, waist, and bust measurements. If you are hippy and/or have a larger ribcage or a larger bust, consider sizing up 2 sizes for your backup. In terms of length, I am 5'6" and rented the long (L) gown. The length would have been perfect for me in 4.5 in heels.

Such a gorgeous gown! Unfortunately my alternate size was out and it was the weekend so I couldn't have a different style sent. The size 2 long was too big and not long enough.

Overall fit was good it was a little big and long but the sz 0r was not available

This dress is gorgeous! The color is bright and stands out among everything. I am just about 6 foot and I had to wear 3.5 inch heels in order for the dress to not touch the ground. The train is beautiful but got annoying when going through crowds and dancing with people but WELL WORTH IT!!. My largest hip point is 41.5 inches and I could JUST sit down. If you have hip measurements larger than that, you will not be able to sit down in it. I had to wear 3 padded bras to fill up the bust - I'm an 8 on top/10 on the bottom. It was a knock out dress - size up for your second size and watch this gown stop traffic!!

Everything was great but I do wish the bust had been tighter. If you're a 36 C and above you should be fine but anything below you'll need something to hold you up.

I ordered the size 2 because the 4 was not available. Runs small and fits like a glove. The material is not stretchy. Loved this dress! The color is beautiful. Had some folks stepping on the trail --would not recommend this for heavy dancing.

The dress fit true to size but was a little small in the hips/butt area. It fit well while standing up, but at times it was a bit hard to sit in. I wore it to my Senior prom which was pretty crowded so it got stepped on a lot. Other than that it was absolutely gorgeous!

I chose this dress for an engagement photo shoot. I was looking for something with a train to look royal and elegant. This met expectations. I usually wear either a size 4 or 6. However, I am a 36D, so with formal wear that I know doesn't have give, I size up. The dress was hard to zip in my chest area, and then somewhat loose in the waist area. I expect this with formal wear though on me because the size between my waist and chest is disproportionate. Because I am busty, I would otherwise say the dress is true to size. My fiance and I have received so many compliments on our photos, such as "elegant" and "regal."

I wore this dress for my own super-formal engagement party and this dress was perfect for the level of opulence at the event. Some notes about the dress: after reading reviews, I sized up, and was glad I did- the 8 fit me skin tight and the 10 was a much better fit, and these days I'm actually wearing a 6 sometimes as I've lost weight for my upcoming wedding. No matter what, wear spanx! You'll want to look smooth under this figure-fitting dress. Note that even when this dress fits you perfectly, it's hard to sit in and the train makes dancing tricky! Also- again due to other reviews- I wore a VS "bombshell" add 2-sized strapless bra as I am very flat chested and would have been in trouble in the chest area if I had not! On the pros list, the color is nothing short of stunning, the stress silhouette is a showstopper, the material is gorgeous high quality, and I received endless compliments all night long about the outfit. I also rented a necklace and it was the perfect accessory to the dress. I would absolutely rent this dress again- I felt gorgeous. Great experience!

Fit like it was made for me! It was easy to move around in! I felt like Cinderella!

The photos do not do this justice. I wanted to show the front and the back of the dress, as the train was my favorite part, but it did get stepped on a lot in the crowd. I ordered at 6 and an 8 and the 8 fit perfectly, the 6 was definitely too small. The only complaint was the boning in the front was a little itchy after sitting in it all night, but over all great dress!

Was the best dressed at the event . So many compliments

The dress fit good other than than the bust was a little big and the zipper is tough to zip but beautiful color!!! I got complements all night I loved this dress!

It ran a little big in the hips but I have slim hips for my size and weight. Otherwise it fit wonderfully well and looked amazing. I have rented several times from Rent the Runway and the experience has been terrific every time. The dresses really are unforgettable. Some of the most valuable parts of the service are the reviews. With height, weight, pictures and review of the fit, it is very easy to estimate the fit of the gown. I am sorry not to include a picture myself, but it was for a work event and I never got around to taking pictures.

Show stopper Unfortunately the or was to large in the hip area and the bust I had to wear Victoria secret bomb shell bra and tape which worked wonders I ordered the 2 r and the fabric were different and the 2r hips fitted better than the 0r and the 2r had a train

This dress was originally my backup option for a gala I attended in DC. After trying the 6 on in the store I ended up ordering the 8 in both dresses incase one didn't work. The 8 was drastically longer and much wider in the hips and chest. My first choice was also too big so I went back to the store and tried the 6 again but it was ripped and a touch too snug. I put the 6 in this one on again and it fit like a glove. Definitely go with shapewear as it hugs every curve. I am so glad I chose this dress in the end. Complete strangers stopped me all night to compliment my look and I felt incredible and glamorous. The color is breathtaking and the cut is stunning. Loved every minute I was in it!

Wore this dress to a formal dress evening wedding and I felt fabulous in it! The blue color was very flattering and a lot of fun. The 4L was a little snug in the waist, but that's part of creating a flattering curve with the dress. The 6L was too loose in the hips for me, so I went with the 4L. Another fit note: I'd say the fit measurements for height are based on your height without shoes on. I'm 5'10" and could have wore a variety of heels with the long length dress. I settled on a 3 inch heel that you still wouldn't see peek out from under the dress unless I was lifting the dress to pass through a crowd. So just keep that in mind if your monster heels make you 5'8, you might be fine with the regular length. This was my first time wearing a mermaid shape gown, so it took me a little bit to master movement in this dress. Contrary to what the other reviewers wrote, it is possible to eat, drink and dance the night away in this dress! Just pick the right size and watch your surroundings and you'll be just fine. The dress is beautiful so no one is going to miss you in a crowd. :)
