It was very form fitting and I had to have perfect posture to sit down. I felt like my back fat bulged out of the top.  I did have  so many compliments on this gown. My favorite dress I've ever worn!


Feels comfortable and the fabric was easy to dance it as well

This dress is an absolute stunner! The number of comments I received from both women and men was unreal. I am a true size 6 so I ordered the 6 with an 8 as my backup. I ended up wearing the 8 and it was still a tad bit tighter around the hips than I would have liked. I feel like I could have gone up to a 10 but then I may have lost some of the fit at the bust. I would strongly advise at least 1 size up from your normal size. 

The compliments were endless.  The fabric and construction is very high quality.  Smoothes all the bumps.  Felt like a million bucks 

I wore this to a new years ball. I'm 5'7 145lbs, I have a 42 inch hips so dresses are a challenge. I wore the 10R and with a good pair of spanx this dress was snug in the hips but totally manageable. I got compliments from strangers which never happens to me. Also i never felt over heated or like the dress was too heavy. We danced all night and I felt totally comfortable in it. 

Loved the fit on me. I went with a 6 Regular based on other reviews and it fit me like a glove and the length was perfect. I wore it with about 3 inch heels and my feet were covered still (which is what I wanted). I usually wear a size 4 in dresses. It was comfortable and was the perfect dress for my daughter’s debutante ball. Such a fun and elegant gown. I did not want to take it off when the night ended. You won’t be disappointed if you select this gown. 

Fits like a glove. I stand 5'4", had on 2 inch heels, the dress skimmed the ground. I weigh 145, weight lifter, so I have big thighs. This dress was perfection. Lots of compliments and queatioons on where I got it.  

Beautiful  dress, I usually wear a 0 but this was a 2 and fit like a glove. Beautifully made, comfortable and felt like a goddess all night! Perfect gala dress

Loved the way this dress looked and received so many compliments. It has zero stretch so if you’re in between sizes or a little unsure go with a size up. I also ordered the long because it was all that was available and the extra length was nice and I don’t consider myself tall. 

I usually wear a 12 in dresses. I ordered a 12  and a 14 as a backup. So glad I did as it ran small to me. The 14 fits like a 12. I’m 6’0 so the 14L was a perfect length as well. 

I rented the 8L and 10R for a Marine Corps ball attended last week. For reference, I am 5'8" with a 38DD chest and 140 (most of that fat sits in my belly and thighs.) In all dresses I am a size 8 regular or long, depending on the brand. This 8L was a great length (with my 4" heels on, just gracefully touched the floor) but was too small up top. I could not close the gown due to my chest. The 10R was a much better fit but I could not wear bra because 1) there was no space for one and 2) the design of the chest/armpit area I could not wear a sweetheart style strapless bra. My chest was held in tight; I could breathe and the girls didn't move. The stomach area was slightly tight for me, but the extra fabric kind of covers it up. I really loved the draping of fabric up front to add drama to the dress. There is also a slit on that side, but it's only noticeable when you're walking. This one got me a lot of compliments in the four hours I wore her. I would absolutely rent this gown again!


I wore this gown to a black tie wedding & I couldn’t of been happier with it. The dress fit so well I was able to not wear a bra. The material was light enough that I was comfortable the entire evening. Definitely consider renting this dress if you want style and comfort all in one! 

The split was just right, modest on the top, not too tight. A little heavy on the bottom .

The fit was very flattering. I loved the fabric. I felt like i was wearing a beautiful and expensive gown. 

This dress was the perfect amount of glam for a black tie wedding. Less is more underneath—I basically wore a pair of pasties and a thong. I am 5'4" and wore 5" heels and the back of the gown was still just a teensy bit too long. I think the shorter length would have been too short.

I rented this for my sister in laws wedding. Overall fit was true to size it looked so amazing. I got a lot of compliments. I would say size up if your larger on tummy area.  I ordered 10R

This Gown was a perfect fit, very comfortable, and I loved the length. I am 124lbs, 5'3", and a 34b. I wore 3.5 inch heels. 

This dress is elegant and classic. And easy wear. A bit heavy (so maybe not for an outdoor event in warm weather) and long on anyone 5'8" or shorter. I'm usually not a ruffles girl, but these ruffles were beautiful.

I'm not exaggerating when I say I was complimented no less than 10 times in the first 5 minutes I arrived at the event! The material is amazing...this looks and feels like a high end designer dress (because it is!) There isn't a ton of stretch so I went with the 4R. Fit like a glove. Flatters in the right places and downplays the mid-section! This designer is always a win for me! Strapless bra...no spanx needed because of the thickness of the material. At 5'7 the regular was perfect in heels.

Pick your original size and one size up runs small around breast and torso area can be worn with a strapless but there is def side boob don't need spanx heavy material def. hides belly pouch . Great material for winter wedding too hot for the summer events. 

It will wrinkle in transit so have a hand steamer ready if you are packing it! I wore it with a stick-on strapless bra. Great for the whole night and even comfortable to sit in.

So many compliments! Very classy and flattering. It was a little tight across my hips and thighs but I’m a true pear shape. I was still able to sit and dance in it. I wore a 3 inch heel. Would rent again if other colors were available 

This gown fit true to size for me. I did not wear a bra, due to limited room in the chest, plus I preferred how it worked with the beautiful lines of the top. 
I wore this to a service academy ball for my son and yes, I did have to do a quick grocery run after the ball, as you can see from the photo!

This dress has amazing material.  I had to wear the 12R rather than the 10R - the chest was too tight.  

This was so a beautiful and classic gown. Received countless compliments! It was a hit. 

From the material to the color to the cut, this dress is everything. I got so many compliments. For my bigger busted girlies, the material has no stretch so definitely go up a size. 

It was a touch short on me when I put on 3 1/2 heels, and I’m 5’7”. So just a note of caution to the taller ladies if ordering this dress, even in long. Otherwise on fit great. Structured fabric that isn’t too constraining and was perfect for a spring evening wedding.

Loved this dress so much!! Only thing, I wish I had sticky pads for a bra because my bra was consistently showing, but I am a part of the IBTC. This dress is such a showstopper!! Highly recommend 

I like a tight dress so size up if you need room.
Dress was just right lengthwise! 
Loved it

I wasn’t a huge fan based on the model picture, but loved how it looked in review photos! The  cut of the top is super fun, but makes a bra tricky, so I didn’t wear one, which was fine given the material is very nice, and thick. There is no stretch to the material as other reviews say. If you’ve got thicker thighs, or a rounder butt, it might be a bit snug in that region, and I’d maybe size up. It’s a really beautiful dress! 

This dress was absolutely stunning and very classy! So many compliments! I wear a 4-6 and ordered the 6. This fit perfect! Would highly recommend. 

Beautiful, classy dress; I received lots of compliments. Based on prior reviews, I ordered 1 and 2 sizes up; ended up wearing the one size up and it fit perfectly. 

The dress is stunning. I am a 0 and it fit me 100%. I am 5'3, wore 4 inch hills and would say it was one inch too long, but doable. A friend loved it so much, she will be getting it for her son's wedding. 

Beautiful gown!! However, Badgley Mischka gowns are tricky in sizing.  Some of the gowns I wear a size 4 in but in a different gown a size 6.  I suggest ordering a backup size when renting from this designer.  I’m 5’5 and 132lbs in this picture and wearing a size 6.  A size 4 fit but it was tight, the size 6 was more comfortable.  

I was surprised the 10 was my fit, but with some silky shape wear and a strapless bra, it worked out. The cut at the shoulders makes a strapped bra very difficult.  Maybe clear straps crossed qoyld have been ok. But my black crossed straps kept showing,  so I just went strapless. The tummy and hips were very tight.  
About shipping, I received this a day late, on the day of my event. Which was absolutely nerve wracking. I didn't see that if your return date ends on a Sunday, you can return it on Monday any how, or else I would have rented it with more time for it to arrive. Overall, I love the quality and availability of clothes to rent. But the customer service has made me worry of renting the runway again. I would caution anyone to consider the impact of receiving your rental within hours of your event. You may receive your rental more than 24hours AFTER your actual rental time. And no compensation was offered to me for my inconvenience. Buy if you RETURN it one day late then you'll owe $50. I think if you reviewed it one day late you should be credited $50! 

I got it on, but I could not sitdown without fear of it splitting.  I am a 12/14 and I would need an 18. Dress is beautiful with high quality material. 

So many compliments, the cut of the top is very flattering, the stomach and hips are very forgiving and loose, in a good way

I loved this dress, but will caution on the fit! I ordered the 6L & the backup 8 was not available. I don’t see how anyone with much of a bust could wear this dress. The fit through rib cage was very snug. i think the 8 would have gaped too much in the top. But the ruffles along the slit were beautiful & I received a lot of compliments. I’m 5’8” & wore 4” heels & had a tiny bit of drag in the back, but wanted to be sure it was floor-length so went with the L. 

I received so many compliments. It is elegant, classic, chic and just plain gorgeous! Perfect for me as I was the chair for our annual military ball.  Would rent it again. And again.

This dress was perfect for a gala I attended. It was a very forgiving fit and hid everything and complimented my figure. I also liked how this dress felt durable and I wasn’t worried about wrinkles.. I would recommend this dress for any formal event. 

I loved this gown! Wore it to a Military ball. I am normally a six but had to size up to an eight. It fit perfect! 

Got this as a backup and did not wear it - I’m a solid 16 and this was tiiiiight. 

Very nice dress though! 

Wore the dress to a formal event. Received tons of compliments. It fit like a glove and hugged in all the right places. In a sea of black dresses, the blue stands out. It’s classy and sexy at the same time. Get it!

Ladies, this is a mermaid shape, order up a size- I am usually a 6- maybe 8- definitely needed the 8, but just gorgeous.  It was form fitting but stunning.

I loved this dress! the neckline is stunning, the ruffle on the side is perfection and the fabric is great! I did wear some Spanx to make it look a little extra smooth this night but it fit very true to size! (I’m really tall and wore heels that made me like 6’1 this night so it didn’t hit the floor for me but it probably would on other people!) would absolutely order again!

Master of disguise. This beauty takes all your problem areas and makes them disappear…hips, tummy, even flabby arms. The cut is everything. And that ruffle. It was a tad bit long without wearing heels but I wanted comfort for this SW gala. This does run a bit small. Usually I’d wear an 8 but the 10 was necessary for the bust/waist. 

I am 5’3” and wear a size 10.  This dress fit comfortably, except it was slightly too big in the bust area and too long but I wore heels and made it work. 

Wore this to a formal wedding in NYC. Felt amazing. Slam dunk! Dress is a bit heavy and at 5’2” it was a bit long but not noticeably with a moderate heel.
