Badgley Mischka

This gown is a really easy fit- the fabric is a good weight has some give to it, and its particularly forgiving in the bust and hips. It's only fitted on your upper waist area. I'd size up for free backup size! We have this gown in a champagne color and black as well. In all, its an easy fit, a great length and will be flattering on just about any body type!

This was my first time using RTR, and what a great experience! I loved this dress in navy, I am pale skinned and freckled and the color was perfect with my strawberry blondish hair. I am 5'6", 180lbs and a 40D. I wore the 14R and the dress fit like a glove. I wore 4 inch heels and the dress hit below my ankles but did not touch the floor, it was perfect! I was worried about the cleavage and was ready to use the free tape they included with the dress, but I did not even need it. I also was able to wear a regular bra, the straps hide regular bra straps and the cut in the back is not too low. They only thing to keep in mind when wearing this dress is the zipper. It is really tough to pull up, but otherwise a great dress. I was very comfortable all night! I have several more black tie events coming up, and I am definitely going to use RTR again!!

Due to my lack of height, this dress was too long for me. To prevent stepping on the dress throughout the night, I invested in some fashion tape and tape the bottom hem of the dress to the right length. The zipper is a little difficult to work with at times, but it shouldn't be a huge problem. Other than the length, the dress fit perfectly and was a beautiful success. I wish I could have kept the dress!

This dress was the perfect fit, and a great choice for a black tie wedding. Very forgiving, and flattering. I am short, so it hung a little low on my chest, but it was still very pretty!

My apologies for this sort of awful picture, taken from top down and with harsh flash is certainly not a flattering showcase, but it was the only one I had! I LOVED this dress. It is really forgiving and easy to wear, easy to dance in. It's not too tight, the waist forms up above the tummy line, the skirt is flowing, but keeps some shape. The navy blue tones down the full-sequin sparkle. Based on some early reviews, I chose the long version of this dress in two sizes. Turned out, it was about 5 inches too long even with 4" heels on. Had to bust out my tacking skills and hem tape, and it was no small effort, but it worked. I found jewelry to be tricky with this dress - everything I tried seemed wrong. I ended up getting some bolder minimalist Swarovski pieces that didn't try to compete and it was just right.

This dress was unbelievably glamorous. I wore it for my senior prom and got many compliments throughout the night. Originally, I ordered the Meteor Shower Gown, but the day before it was supposed to arrive, I received a phone call and email saying that the 0R was now unavailable. RTR made it so incredibly easy to fix the situation. I quickly picked out this dress and they sent me the 2R of the Meteor Shower Gown and the 0R and 2R of this gown. It ended up being a blessing in disguise! This dress fit PERFECTLY and was so comfortable and all around fabulous. The customer service was superb, I couldn't have been more pleased. Can't wait to be able to RTR again!

Beautiful color, but very heavy fabric (good for winter). Felt a bit like a costume. It's also extremely long; I would've had to pin it up to wear with 3" heals.

The fit is true to size. It hides the curves you don't like and creates a focus on your synched waist and bust. I'm 5'4 and I needed to tape up the bottom to fit with my heels, but if you are more comfortable in higher heels it should be fine. The bust wasn't as revealing as I thought it might be, so that was a nice surprise. I opted to curl and pull my hair to one side because the dress is quite flashy. It can appear navy or royal blue depending on the camera, so matching the jewelry is a bit difficult, but I opted for a chunky, but open silver bracelet and sparkled stud style earring (from the Vera Wang collection at Kohls). At first your arms will feel a bit scratchy against the material when they connect under your arms, however, during the night I barely noticed it and was glad I chose this dress. Overall it was a great experience, but like I said go buy some fashion tape if you're short like me or get some taller heels.

I had to use fashion tape (provided by RTR!) to hide my bra but if you have the right one you will be fine! It was just slightly too long since I wasn't wearing heels but it fit well.

I rented this dress in a 12L and a 14R. I am 5'10" and I knew I was going to wear heels, so going off the fit guide I figured i'd need a long. The 12L was SO long, there was no way I could have worn it, so I decided to wear the 14 for the length alone. I really actually could have probably worn a 10, the 14 was really big but i'm pretty sure i'm the only one who noticed. I would definitely say to taller girls, you probably don't need a long unless you're over 6ft tall (and maybe not even then...) This dress was also great especially given my larger bust (I am a 36DDD). I felt comfortable all night, and was able to dance the night away. Overall a great dress, and would definitely rent it again!

I was expecting the 12L to be the one I wore that night, but the 10L was a perfect fit! If you aren't very well endowed on the top, it may be a little big in the chest area, nothing a little tape couldn't fix. Fits very well in the hips/stomach area and was extremely comfortable. I am 5'7" and wore a 3" heel and the length was perfect, I only had to pick my dress up to walk up and down stairs. I would highly recommend this gown to a formal party, it was a show stopper!

This was my second choice for a dress and I'm so happy I decided on it! Overall, the fit was a little loose around my waist and chest. I usually wear a 4 and I'm a 34B but I had to go with the 2L because the chest was WAY too large for a size 4. I'm so happy with my decision; I felt famous in it!

I wore this dress to a work-related formal event and it was a great choice. I was pleasantly surprised that I could wear a regular bra with it and I didn't need Spanx or any other shaper. I am generally a 14 on top and a 10 on bottom, which is usually a problem with dresses but the draping on this one meant that the top fit and the bottom didn't look enormously big. I felt great in the gown and it held up very well even when running around during auctions, etc. One note of caution: the "long" sizes are just that - LONG. I'm 5'8" and wore four inch heels, and the dress still skimmed the ground. When I switched to flats for the work portion of the event, it dragged the ground but thankfully it moved well so I didn't have to hold it up the whole night and wasn't in danger of tripping.

Stunning dress with LOTS of sequins Wish it ran true to size.

Gorgeous color; however the draping at the hips really accentuated an area of my body I didn't wan to call attention to. The zipper is also incredibly difficult to get up due to one of the seams in the back and the thickness of the fabric.

Wore this dress to the Emmys and the HBO after party. It's gorgeous. Fit is a bit big, but the zipper (despite plenty of room) was a bit of trouble around the middle. I'm 5'10" and was wearing 4" pumps and the dress just brushed the floor. I had to lift it a little when I walked to prevent stepping through or getting my heel stuck. The sequins rubbed on my arms and shoulders, but not excessively. Super flattering, great for curvy girls. Got a couple numbers that would land me on Page 6 thanks to this dress!

Lots of compliments! The 14R was the perfect length with 4-inch heels. Very forgiving of curves, comfortable for the most part, the sequins can be a little scratchy. Used some fashion tape to keep the low neckline in place. I came home from my function to find that the vocalist with Macklemore wore the same dress to perform at the VMAs!

I hated to return this dress! It's the first time in my life I have had a formal gown that was long enough for me. The color was absolutely yummy. The dress was very good quality and well made. It was SUPER comfortable and I appreciated the fabric tape included with the order because I could attach it to my bra straps and close up the front just a wee bit. I did end up wearing a convertible bra because the back strap wanted to keep peeking out above the back of the dress, but this was not a problem. How refreshing to wear a formal gown that I didn't have to worry about having a wardrobe malfunction or be miserable because it was uncomfortable. I didn't even have to wear spanx or a slip. I wish I would have ordered the 8 instead of the 12 as my back-up size, however. The 10 was really on the verge of being too big but I followed the stylist advice on the "chat" and the description (which says the dress runs small) and ordered the larger size for the back-up. The package arrived on time and everything went like clockwork. I told so many people about this company and how pleased I was with the entire process. Some thought I was very brave to head into my formal event without having tried on the dress ahead of time but I could tell by the photos of "real" people wearing it that it would work for me and I was extremely happy - in fact, it could not have been more perfect for my event. It was exactly what I was looking for, and I felt like a queen (in fact, you will note I am wearing a tiara...) If RTR ever wants to get rid of this dress, I would buy it!!

Fits great all around. A bit on the heavier side because of all the sequins so the straps were great. The lining was made from a stretchy fabric and was smooth around my body.

Has a little bit of stretch so it is very comfortable.

This dress is extremely easy to wear and is very comfortable. I wore it to a wedding in West Palm Beach and had no worries it would wrinkle in my suitcase. I wore a regular bra and had no straps to worry about.

the fabric does not enhance the figure

First off this dress is gorgeous! I wore it to a black tie wedding in NYC and I highly recommend it so let me break it down- This dress runs large! I NEVER wear a size 4 but after reading the reviews I ordered it as the back size and I am glad I did! It fit like a glove through the waist but wasn't constricting in the hips or bust. Really good for hourglass figure and cinching in that middle! I am 5'5" and ordered the long length, it still draped the floor about an inch more than I would have liked (and in 5 inch pumps) but the R length would definitely have been too short. It was minorly annoying but not too bad, just had to have great posture all night! This dress is perfect for anyone who wants to wear a regular bra which is a must for me, especially when dancing all night! It's pretty roomy in the bust so you may want to tack it down with a safety pin for more security, but you don't need to be concerned about the fit being to tight in the chest. Overall A+ first experience with RTR. I was unsure about not being able to try on at first but the reviews really helped! I received so many compliments and felt truly spectacular. This dress is a winner and so is RTR!

I rented this gown in a size 14R and 12R since I am still getting rid of some baby-weight. This dress cuts under the bust so if you do not have a perfect tummy, instead of hiding it, it actually brings that area more into focus. Not a good look at all. I had to go with my back-up dress (also from RTR) which ran smaller and was more fitted - and looked absolutely much much better! If you are trying to hide imperfections, this dress is not the one. All I can say is Kangaroo Pouch. But the shine is very nice.

I've recently gained weight due to an injury and this dress helped me feel great! I was not worried or concerned about my problem areas, it fit my bust and stomach area great without drawing a lot of attention. I got so many compliments on the dress & the fit! Only complaints I have is that it was a bit long, I had to hold it up while I walked and the shoulder area was a bit large, making it a little low cut and the material is difficult to fashion tape because it's heavy with the sequins. But by pulling it down further in the back I was able to compensate and it looks great!

This dress is so fabulous. I debated on color and almost went for the rose gold - but the navy was amazingly brilliant even though it photographed a bit darker (inadequate flash for sure!) I compared the size charts at Badgley Mishcka directly, and also chatted with a RTR lady, and also read every review. I tend to be a bit of a tough fit for dresses thanks to my bodacious curves - occasionally wearing anything from a 4 to 10 depending on cut. I ordered the 4R as a second option to the 6R and I'm glad I trusted my initial judgement. The 6R fit nicely, but the 4R was a touch shorter and fit IMMACULATELY around the empire waist and everywhere else. I like the look of a closer fitting dress, so I wore the 4 - I don't like to add too much fabric bulk to my short, curvy figure for obvious reasons. I would say, for my figure (37-29-36... with bust 32DDD... and a curvy bum) that this was true to size, but for less stacked ladies it might be considered a bit large. Order the second down a size for sure. Lastly, I wore high 4+ inch heels - I'm 5'2" - and the dress touched the ground; in an elegant not-too-long way. Carried my own Pour la Victoire calf hair box clutch, and wore RTR Clear Statement earrings by Kate Spade. My date, his colleagues, and EVERYONE else was super-impressed. Best Dressed for sure.

This was my first time renting a dress, and I'll do it again! Loved the dress, it runs a little big but still fits well. It was the perfect dress for a military ball!

The dress fit well, and the color and sequins were perfect for a black tie wedding. I was able to "fit" into the 10, but I wanted to be comfortable, so I went with the 12. The one issue that I had was with the zipper. With both the 10 and the 12, my boyfriend had a lot of difficulty getting the zipper up for me because the material is very thick around the waistline...not because of my body...thank God! Once the zipper was up though, everything was perfect! Was able to wear a regular bra as well...

The dress fit beautifully and was comfortable all night. I received lots of compliments (a few specifically for the dress) which means I wore exactly the right thing! It fit well everytwhere. I probably could have gone with the regular length instead of the long (I'm 5'7").

Extremely comfortable, recommend double stick tape for comfort keeping the dress business appropriate.

Dress was a beautiful pick for a formal NYE party, and not too heavy despite it being fully sequined. I was able to wear a regular bra with it which was also a plus. A little bit on the long side even with heels, but not enough to prevent me from feeling comfortable dancing or walking around. Only cons were that things like my wrap and bag kept getting stuck to the sequins, and also they made the skin under my arms a little sore by the end of the evening. All in all a great experience!

My cousin (the bride) found the dress and all of us bridesmaids felt so glamorous in it! I was not sure if I should order the long because I was confused by some of the other user reviews, so I got a 6R and a 4L. I usually wear a 6 but the 4 fit fine and I was told by the other bridesmaids to wear the long. It was the perfect length when I wore my heels, but without them it dragged a little bit (and I'm not used to that!) We were all different body types but it fit everyone beautifully and we got a lot of compliments! I'm so glad my cousin has great taste!

The dress is BEAUTIFUL in person. My only complaint was that the regular was too short. I researched the reviews and the Fit guide and thought I'd be ok with the regular. From now on I'll always order the Long. Other than that, this dress was perfect.

This dress was beautiful- however at first glance on the hanger I wasn't sure if I would like it because it looked a little matronly. I ordered both the 14R and 16R. I am 5'5'' and normally wear a 14. The 14R fit perfectly! Length, bust, everything! Also a huge bonus was the way the fabric draped, there was no need for spanx (thank goodness!). The dress was comfortable and moved well. I received TONS of compliments and felt wonderful in it all night. I definitely felt sexy and beautiful as opposed to matronly. I would totally recommend this dress!

The dress is very pretty. I could not wear it because it was too tight in the bust. I think an 8 probably would have worked, but i got it past the waist band and it wouldnt budge.

The dress looked amazing and fit great, but I did have to go a size up from normal for me.

Only downside was the sequins chafed after the entire evening (wore the gown for 6 hours)

This dress was amazing! It fit like a glove and I was able to wear a normal bra. I have a large chest (36DDD) and I didn't feel self conscious at all! I am short, but with my 3 inch heels the dress hit the floor perfectly. It wasn't a heavy dress, it hugged all of the right places, and hid what I didn't like. This was my first RTR experience and it won't be my last!

I absolutely loved this dress! It was very glamorous and fun! Everyone had something positive to say about it. The zipper is a little tricky to pull up but other than that, everything about the dress was perfect! I would definitely consider this dress again for another occasion.

Fit perfectly, flattering if you have cleavage, flattering if you don't, fit true to size. I'm 5'4" and wore 3 inch heels - the dress hit the ground perfectly.
