This dress was a showstopper. I got so many compliments while wearing this dress! I couldn’t believe this style fit my wide hips! I’m usually a 6 and a small or medium in tops (but about a size 12 on bottom) and I ordered an 8 and am glad I did. This fits snug in the top (needed my husband to help zip it up, and that was with no bra). The sequins rub a bit around the arms and the liner rides up when you walk- those are my caveats. That said, I loved how this looked and how it made me feel so much that I ended up buying it! If you have a special occasion or are heading to Vegas this is a winner!

I didn’t end up wearing this just because I rented more than I needed for a Vegas trip. However, this dress is perfect, Badgley Mischka is my favorite, always feels like it was made for me. Snug fit without being too tight, and flattering in all the right places. Gives the illusion of more curves than I have (36/27/36). Would absolutely rent again for another event!

The size 6 would have been perfect but it wasn't available when I ordered. The 4 was a bit too tight to zip up in the waist and the 8 was a bit too large - especially in the bust though I made it work. I think I would have loved it if the 6 would have been available. Regardless fun to wear something different! 

The dress was gorgeous for a holiday party. The sequins did rub and irritate my arms a bit but was fine for a few hours. 

Only a size two was available and it was tight around the rib cage but otherwise fit well. Beautiful dress ! 

Could juuust zip it closed by sucking it all in (apple shape, weighed 175-180 at the time). Waistband had little stretch, so it’s not my favorite garment type for my body shape. I also found the bubbly shape of the skirt portion unflattering for me; it emphasized my apple shape rather than complemented it. Beautifully made dress though and in good condition for as frequently as it seems to be rented out!

Wore to a Mardis Gras themed gala. Fit great, no need for a bra, not too short. Wish it had pockets but still 5/5. Wore size 10 I am 5’7 and 36DD.

This dress was gorgeous! I wore it to a black tie wedding and it was perfect! I received so many compliments. I would say that it is more gold than rose gold so if you’re picking accessories keep that in mind. Also the sequins definitely irritated my arms a little during dancing, but the look was worth it.

Got this for a 1920’s Great Gatsby themed gala, which worked really well. Also the gold really stands out amongst all the other black suits and dresses as per usual in every gala. 

Wore this to a 1920s party. Super fun, and fit true to size 

I tried this dress in an 8 and it was too snug. The 10 was just right! Size up and get tons of compliments. Wore this to a Mardi Gras themed party and it was on point. Comfortable and fun!

Wore this for a friend's birthday party. I'm curvy and it's fits great! The only problem was in the bust - I had to safety pin it at the bottom to keep the ladies from spilling out. The deep v gapes a bit. Otherwise, it's a fantastic party dress!

I had two styles to pick from and ended up not wearing this one out. The sparkles and color are really pretty and I think the gathering on the skirt/ waist is flattering and forgiving. I didn’t pick this one because the neckline was too deep and the straps a little too big and wide for me. Created some awkward gapping. I probably could have used a safety pin to fasten to my bra but had another option so didn’t bother. 

Wore to a Mardi Gras themed party. Fit great but be prepared for a lot of cleavage if you’re big up top. Sequins didn’t irritate!

I had a ton of fun wearing this dress! It’s so sparkly and not like anything I’ve worn. I got lots and lots of compliments on it and overall, it was comfortable and I felt at ease in it. 

It’s pretty busty — I had to use several safety pins to close it up a bit otherwise it would have been a boob-y affair. The zipper is a little tricky to pull up (I definitely needed assistance) and the fabric bunches a little bit along the zipper. 

It fit just right and came on time. 10/10!

The top was a little big but I made it work.  I got SO many compliments!

I am very busty so the dress accentuates my cleavage. My mom thought it was too low cut but I didn’t. The dress bunches in the back for those that are bootylicous.

I love this dress! - plan to get compliment after compliment from complete strangers!  And - the sequens are very soft; do not ravage the inside of your arm at all!  A few things you need to know: I have rented the long version as well so it's not just this version or size; You can fit A LOT of bosom into the top - and I have a C-D bust.  I could worn the 12 on the top - but needed the 14 for the bottom. With the proper fitting bottom, I needed to address the top slipping open; night 1 - tried with posture alone. Looked amazing, but had slippage and the bottom of my bra would show at times. Night 2 - I caved and used a safety pin since I didn't have time to order tape.  Also - both long and version are challenging to zip so plan for someone to help you.  This is not because of the size, but because it catches right above waistline. Night 2 we figured out how to zip it part way, get it on over my head - then zip it the rest of the way. Finally - (and I am glad) it is NOT as short as it shows on the model. Enjoy the attention this show-stopper gets, you will feel all the bit the glamour girl!

I am usually a size 10. The dress is running a bit small so what you see in the photo is me in size 12. 

My highschool aged  daughter wore this for homecoming court, the size 4 fit her athletic build perfectly. A little tricky to zip but in the end was fine.

Absolutely loved this dress!  I bought my normal size and it fit perfectly.  It was super flattering and pretty comfy for being full sequins.  I got many compliments!

I wanted to love this dress so much, because I love a good sparkle, but the cut of the V was just too deep for me. And I didn't feel like it highlighted my best features. I did get lots of compliments and felt very glamorous, I just wasn't comfortable and was constantly adjusting myself to not have a wardrobe malfunction. And I felt like it need to be shorter, or longer, but the lengthy made me feel a bit boxy.

Wore for a night out at Vegas and received many compliments. The dress was comfortable enough for dinner and sitting through a show. The bust was more revealing than I typically wear, but appropriate for Vegas. I'm short and curvy, and the dress hit at a perfect knee- length for me. The zipper was a little tricky at seam of the waistband and I needed help to zip it on and off because the fabric kept catching. 

This was my back up dress because gold can be hit or miss on me since I'm naturally very pale. The second I put it on I knew it was the one. The material has some give/stretch to it so if you worried about it being tight, it likely won't be if you get your normal size. The sequins did not bother my arms at all. I did NOT have to wear a bra OR use tape. Definitely not see through. I got compliments on it ALL night and was told to not return it because it was worth keeping lol. Highly recommend. 

Wore this for my graduation ball, loved it!

Sized up to an 8 and was perfect. Couldn't zip the 6 as a 36C with a broader back. Great dress!

Perfect fit, size 8 5'2", 140lbs, 36c 
Perfect for party dress. Definitely recommended

Not my favorite RTR - but a fun dress for the night.

I rented a cute white dress, with a backup size, and neither fit. I rented this one too, just in case, to have options, and this was the winner!! It's so fun and flattering, even on my super fair skin. Obviously it shows off the girls, but being that we were out on 6th street in Austin, I didn't really care, but if that's an issue for you, that's easily fixed with safety pins or fashion tape. 

Rented for NYE! Fun and comfy to dance the night away in! 

Comfortable to wear but a little big and not that flattering. Got a ton of compliments and worked well for New Years.
