A little long for me,  but I was able to tuck some of the fabric under the fabric in the mid section to help with this. So many compliments!  

Needed some fashion tape to keep the low neckline secure, but otherwise an amazing dress - plus, super fun to twirl around in on the dance floor!

This dress is amazing. I got so many complaints. The neckline is very deep, but I am small chested, so that worked for me. It is long, but with heels it worked great.

Colors were vibrant, sleeves were perfect for February.  Would highly recommend 

Loved this dress, flowy and elegant.  Louisa from the Sound of Music sang how I felt in this dress:  I flit I float I fleetly flee I fly! I’m a bit clumsy, sometimes awkward but in this gorgeous lightweight dress I felt like a freakin ballerina! 

This was perfect for a black tie wedding. I used fashion tape to keep the shoulders from slipping and the front from gapping and it worked perfectly. The cut is low in the front and back. I am smaller busted so just didn’t wear a bra. I am 5’8” and wore 3 inch heels. I think it might be on the long side for women shorter than me. LOVED THIS DRESS. 

Pro: When you put on this dress, you become Florence Welch. You just feel ethereal, free, and comfortable in your own skin. 

Con: The 2R fit my chest/torso/length perfectly, but my wingspan is a little longer than 5'9", and the wrist cuffs were kind of tight, so I ended up not having full range of motion in my arms.

I’m 5’9 and 140 lbs - size 4R fit perfectly and was a great length which can be hard to find at my height. I received lots of compliments. The coverage was perfect for a chilly spring wedding! The V in the back cuts into the bra line slightly. 

Loved the dress but it was very long for me. The pattern and weight of it would have worked well for my event. Busty girls might need tape as there is quite a plunge.

Wore this for a floral/garden themed fundraising gala and it was absolutely perfect. I'm an 8 usually and that size fit perfectly - the 10 would have been way too large in both the bust and the waist. This hugged in all the right places and the V was deep but not too revealing. I got away with no fashion tape. The sweeping nature of the skirt was gorgeous. I'd definitely get this again. Badgley for the win yet again. 

Wore this to a wedding at 31 weeks pregnant (156 lb). Many guests came up to compliment me, even the wedding photographer did! I was especially happy with how well my bump looked. I was a 0/2 before pregnancy but ended up wearing a size 8 for this dress. Initially, I ordered sizes 2&4 but neither fit. Thankfully the replacement sizes 6&8 came just in time. 

This dress was stunning, received lots of compliments! But I definitely needed lots of fashion tape to keep the chest and shoulders in place. Would definitely rent again!

I typically wear more form fitting things, but I felt dreamy in this. It’s lovely, classy and sexy all at the same time. I’m 5’7, and would be nervous to recommend this to anyone shorter. Even if you’re in heels, it’s a lot of material to trip on. I was in 3in heels and you still can’t see my feet. 

I wore this in my third trimester and was able to pull it off. It was tight around the ribs, but wouldn’t be if I wasn’t pregnant. I wore the size 2, but would’ve worn the 0 in normal life (just needed the rib room). I am 5’6” and wore heels, so had no issues with the length. I did end up pinning/using fashion tape for the deep V because too much of my bra was showing, but would highly recommend. I felt beautiful and received so many compliments!

Be aware: there is a 12” neckline plunge from the top of the shoulder (see pic)! I am a skilled sewer and used a ladder stitch on the underside of the seam to close up 2” (removed for return) to make this dress less revealing. It is more secure and less likely to tear the dress than pinning. My normal sizing: 5’3” size 0 or 00, 32B. Also be aware that the sleeves have 3 buttons at the wrist; if your thumb and middle finger do not overlap when you circle your opposite wrist, the sleeve cuffs may be too tight for you. I wore wedge sandals to navigate the gravel mountain path; they were not tall enough for my height in this dress— it is very long. It arrived with the pleats needing ironing. I had to accordion fold them and steam press most of the lower 36” of the skirt to sharpen the pleats. In all, I loved the fit, the flow of the skirt, the warmth yet lightness of the layers and got tons of compliments.

This dress is absolutely stunning! I wore it to an outdoor wedding and received numerous compliments. It was sized just right as well. 
Don’t hesitate when renting this one! I may purchase it. 

This dress fit like a glove. Perfect with a standard high heel. Loved it so much.

This fit so well. The front definitely has a major plunge like the other reviews say. I had to use a pin and tape. It was super comfortable though. The colors are beautiful. I received compliments all night & I felt amazing in it! The dress is a bit long. I wore 3 inch heels and it was still at the floor, but it worked! If I could afford this dress, I’d buy it!

It fit me perfectly but I’m not sure how it would work for someone with a smaller chest. It provided good support without a bra but if you’re self conscious of extreme cleavage, this definitely isn’t the dress for you. It’s also very very long. I’m on the taller side at 5 ft 7 and this brushed the floor with a small heel (I can’t do very high heels). It required gathering when I walked up steps. Beautiful dress!

I was debating what to wear to a winter outdoor baby shower and came across this gorgeous dress. It is so flowy and romantic and the plunging neckline adds a little sexiness. I am on the shorter side so even with heels the bottom of the dress dragged so I was always lifting it to walk. Perfect dress for the occasion.

Sorry I didn't get a better photo..
But I wore this for a date night and it was very flattering. It is a bit low-cut, so you might have trouble with normal bras, but its supportive enough I could have gotten away with going bra-less despite my large bust. It was cool enough for a warm night despite the long sleeves.
The wrist is very tight - I had to unbutton it to get it over my hands.

This dress is quite beautiful and is a true size 12. I’m in between a 10 and 12 so it was a little loose. Since I’m not used to wearing such low cut dresses or going without a bra (I used the sticky lifters), I pinned the front with a black safety pin to feel a little more covered up. I still felt a little self conscious but that was more my issue and not the dress which is why I gave it 5 stars. I would definitely have this dress in my closet, but would have the fashion tape on hand. 

I absolutely loved this dress! Strangers were stopping me all night with compliments. I gained weight over the past year and was not feeling fully confident. This dress is more flattering in person - there is no need for Spanx. The top was just a bit loose, but everywhere else fit great. I used "boob tape" to feel more secure up top, but could have worn the dress without it. 10 out of 10!

I got a 4 because my usual size 2 wasn’t available. It fit, but I could’ve sized down, so go with your normal size! The shoulders have anti-slip bits on them so they don’t come down, and the fabric is so flowy and pretty. It was long on me even with 4" heels - at least an extra 2 inches on the ground, so I held it up as I walked. But it was so gorgeous, I didn’t mind. Definitely a great rental!

This dress is beautiful! Few thoughts… I am 5’5” and had to wear 4” heels for the dress to kiss the floor. If you don’t like wearing high-heels and you are below 5’5” I would not recommend this dress. Other than that, I thought the fit was great! Tight in the rib cage but not uncomfortable. I would recommend some fashion tape for the deep-v neck! I got lots of compliments all night!

The fit was perfect - I’m usually a 12 top and 14/16 bottom, 5’9” (plus 3-in heels) and the 12 was perfect. Top was structured enough to forgo a bra (34dd). 

I’ve never gotten more compliments at a wedding. It was definitely the most unique dress there and I felt amazing. If I had $900 to drop on it, I would! 

Dress fit perfect - i sized up and I’m glad I did, fit me perfectly. Loved the deep-v on the back and front, had to use sticky bra for the front, dipped further then most bras. Dress is long, I’m 5’8 and wore 3-4inch heels to make it not hit the ground. 

Great dress love the length. So many compliments!

it fit perfectly. i have a very large bust and i didn’t need a bra. also tall and it was long on me 

Wore this for a late November wedding. Was a little loose around the shoulders but got tons of compliments! 

I wore this dress for my anniversary dinner with my boyfriend and it definitely feels very luxurious with the drapey sleeves and gown. It was perfect for the cool SF weather at night. I definitely felt like a princess with this dress, but the cleavage was a bit too revealing for my taste. I was surprised that the dress was so long for a R because I wore 3” platform shoes and I still had to lift the dress so that it wouldn’t brush the floor. It was fun to wear for a special occasion but I didn’t like it enough to want to rent it again. 

Not the most flattering bcuz it’s so flared but drapes nice, good fabric, cool enough for a hot daytime wedding. I wore 4” heels and it was dragging a bit in back had to gather up so as not to step on it. It’s pretty for a semi conservative wedding, not flashy, but elegant/classy. Not a show stopper, wouldn’t wear if I were 10 years younger (I’m 49) but no shapewear needed. Had to pin shoulders bcuz it was a bit big, could’ve sized down. It’s low cut, used tape in front but wore low back but regular bra. 

The dress was beautiful, and better yet, comfortable. I thought for sure it would be too big, but it fit just right. I'm typically a size 8, but got the size 10 because it was the only size available. I'm so glad because the 8 would not have fit. I used fabric tape to ensure no mishaps since this is much lower than I'd normally ever wear. I received so many compliments. Wore this to a fundraiser event (cocktail). I'd wear this gown again.

Beautiful dress, just not the best cut on me. The waist fit perfectly, but it had these huge sleeves that I was not a fan of, and the shoulder seemed a little bit too wide. I ended up putting a sweater over the top to hide the sleeves. The length was pretty long on this dress. I wore 3 inch heels, and it was still dragging on the ground.

It’s a gorgeous dress but from the waist up on a size 0, it runs big. You must be at least a D+ cup.  While standing up, it wasn’t a problem. The waist is true to size for a 0 but sitting down I kept tugging at my shoulder fearing it was going to drop, and i was wearing a C cup. For size 0, you’ll need “Barbie” measurements, 39-25-33.

3.5” heels are perfect. I’m 5’7”.

The dress is stunning and fit really well for the outside affair. There’s a ton of pleats and poofy sleeves that are very flattering. However be ready to use some fashion tape or be on a look out during the event for the top assets to stay in

Chose another dress for the occasion but still really liked this one.

I wore this for my sister's outdoor wedding in Vermont. It was perfect 

Paired great with black open toe heels, emerald earrings and a black clutch. I had 0 issues with cleavage (it definitely shows a little), but everything was secure. I caveat that with the fact that I have square shoulders.

I had to adjust the neckline a bit and the length required taller shoes than i'd normally wear, but I felt SO gorgeous and received so many compliments.
