Badgley Mischka

fit around waist but top was way too big for me and gaping open

This may be because I am short-waisted, but I found the top portion of this dress to be way too blousy and loose. The bottom was very pretty, though.

This dress was perfect for an awards ceremony, it needed to be appropriate but fun. I pinned the front closed, and it was perfect.

the color is BEAUTIFUL and the flowy chiffon is really glamorous and lovely. however the top is BIG, extremely big, and VERY revealing as a result (even in a size smaller than what I usually wear). i had to pin and tape it and even then was concerned that the top was going to show too much. that said, if you can find a way to tape it effectively up top, it really is gorgeous overall. also the regular was the perfect length for me (I'm 5'5"). and the slit really isn't very apparent/obvious.

I love the RTR idea, this dress did not work for me though. I am usually a size 10 but have a small bust. The dress was very large in the bust area and i was pulling on it all night. The bottom of the gown looked beautiful when I danced/walked, but the slit was not noticeable as it portrays in the picture. I am renting another gown that has more stretch to it. The band in the middle of the dress was tight and had no give. It also made it hard to zipper.

The only problem I had was the suuuuper long neckline that showed way too much, but it wasn't anything a few safety pins couldn't fix. It would be perfect for someone much taller than me. Other than that, it was beautiful! People said I looked like a Greek goddess, I'd definitely recommend renting this dress and from RTR in general :)

This was my first time renting a dress and it was a great experience! The only problem was sizing. I picked my usual dress size, 12, and a size 10 due to the fact that I've lost some weight recently. However, the size 10 was pretty big on me and I had to use a lot of safety pins and fashion tape to make it fit right! Although it was my mistake for not reading into the sizing to figure out what my size should be, I do think the dress runs large especially the top because even though I have a full bust, it was still slightly big. The length was perfect when I was wearing 4-inch heels, but I spent a lot of the night dancing without shoes so it got to be a problem with tripping over my dress. Overall, it was a great experience and I've never felt so gorgeous! I wish I could keep the dress. Just make sure that when you're renting, find out the designer's sizing measurements to make sure you pick the best size for you!

I am short so was hesitant to order this dress, but I loved it so much on the website I went for it. I had to wear 4 inch heels and it was still a little long. Needed to use fashion tape too because the top was big. I would reccommend ordering a size smaller than usually because the dress ran big overall. I am so happy with the rental and couldn't have imagined a more perfect dress for the Ball I attended! I got compliments all night and was told I looked "like a movie star." Perfect for a glamourous night out!

This dress is super comfortable, but this is not your boyfriend's dress shirt. I mean, WOW. I got looks and compliments all night long. While I'm normally a size 8, I got this in a 6 (after trying it at the showroom) and I'm also tall (5'10"), but the Regular size worked great with the kitty heels I wore (as opposed to the Long size I almost rented). The top was a little big for me and I'm a DD, so some tape is in order with the top. All in all, this dress was fun to wear. The one I rented had a small rip on the bottom (front-right) that wasn't noticeable when worn.

Love the color of this dress. Definitely order a size down. I'm already larger on top and both dress sizes ran larger, and is pretty low cut, but nothing a little double-sided fashion tape can't fix.This dress looks great with black or gold accents.

The dress ran a tiny bit large, but it wasn't noticeable. The color is a gorgeous bright red and I loved the dress so much overall.

I originally rented the glittery "Award Winner" gown and found that despite ordering the long, it was still too short for me to wear with any kind of heel (I'm 5'9" plus). It was also a little tight around the bust and mid-section. I didn't have a backup rented, but since the wedding I was attending happened to be in the NYC area, I made a walk-in stop at the up-town showroom. Though I had to wait a while, I was helped by the nicest people. It really made the experience. This 14L was way too big up top (I could have worn the 12L) but I fell in love with the drape, the drama (and the coverage!) so decided to wear it, and relied heavily on garment tape in the neckline and straps to keep everything in place (without it I would have flashed the whole event). The length was perfectly floor-skimming with my 2 1/2 in heels, and with my own normal bra and spanx open bust body suit I felt super-comfortable/confident all night. I received compliments ALL night from friends and strangers alike (the first one was "You look like you're straight out of a Hollywood red-carpet" which was what I was going for with the first, gown, so score!) Oddly enough, from bathroom conversations I discovered ALL of the women at this black-tie spring wedding who were stunning in colorful dresses had rented from RTR! :-) The secret is out.

I wore this for some dramatic engagement pictures. It was absolutely stunning! It fit great! The only thing, is it's a little big in the top. I'm already a pretty busty girl, and I found myself needing a little fashion tape so I didn't flash anyone. Not bad tho! It was a show stopper! So many head turns and compliments. It was perfect for what I was looking for!

The dress definitely runs large, I definitely suggest sizing down. I wore a 2L, and I think I would have gone with the regular if I could have. Also, the slit is not really visible when wearing the dress.

The bust area is lose. I wish I would have gone down a size in general. The dress runs large.

Runs huge and is VERY low cut. Lots of fashion tape made it wearable. Get at least 2-4 sizes smaller. Length was perfect with 4 inch heels. Also bust size 36DD which was not an option.

Loved this dress. The color was perfect for me. Very light and comfortable to wear.

This dress runs large. I rented a 2, usually wear a 4, and have a small chest. I tried to use Hollywood tape on the chest area but unless you are more busty it was too large in the chest. I had to be very aware all evening, but it was a beautiful dress otherwise.

Wore this to prom and loved the dress! It was flowy and the length was fine with my 4 inch heels. Only problem was the bust which I had to secure with fashion tape.... This was my backup dress but it look so good on anyone I had to wear it! I so recommend this dress but make sure to get some fashion tape no matter your cup size, after it's secure you're perfect!

Size 8 was a bit big and I wished I'd ordered the size down as my back-up as opposed to the size up. Other than being a bit big, it was gorgeous and comfortable and I enjoyed wearing it.

Rented this for my husband's military ball. I wanted something conservative, but elegant. I'm top heavy at 36DD and the low plunge was very risque. I used a safety pin, delicately, to nip the front closed and lined both sides of the top with fashion tape three on each side. The material is sturdy and there was no damage, but prepare to pin if you're voluptuous up top. Fashion tape is not enough. If you're going for a sexier, more revealing look, then let them free! As others have said, this dress is huge. I'm between a size 6 and 7 right now, so I listened to what the other ladies said and ordered a 4R and 6R. The 6R fell off me; the 4R fit perfect, which again, is NOT my current size. I'm 5'2 and word 4.5 inch stilettos yet the dress still slightly dragged. Would definitely recommend this to anyone that is looking to make an impression. The color is very red and just gorgeous if red is complimentary to your skin tone. Best matched with elegant earrings, smoky eyes and nude lips!

If this dress hadn't run large, it would have been absolutely PERFECT. The color was stunning, and overall flattering dress. The bust was extremely large, and I have a rather large chest, so that was frustrating, but otherwise got lots of compliments. Waist runs normal sized, but bust is too large. I think the dress needs to be remade.

The waist fit well but the top was huge. I am a busty girl and it hung on me in a a very unflattering way.

Definitely runs large - especially for those with smaller busts. I had to thoroughly tape the top shut to keep my bra from constantly showing. I ordered a 2L as my main size but it was way too big all over- even the 0L had a little room to spare in the waist and of course the top, so definitely go down at least one size. I am 5'9" and the 0L was the perfect length with my 4" heels. Other than being large this dress is great, comfortable and easy to move in and very elegant without being over-the-top facy. Very versatile in how you can style it for different event.

The dress was so pretty and I had such high hopes but unfortunately I didn't get to wear either size because they were far to large for my frame. I also ordered a backup dress which never got processed and never arrived. I was really hoping that this experience would be wonderful but I haven't lost faith yet and I plan on ordering again hopefully with better luck in the future.

I wore this for prom- I ended up needing the smaller of the two sizes I ordered. This dress is really easy to move in, but it has so much material and was hard at first to get up stairs without stepping on it. Overall, awesome for the dance and the occasion! I got lots of compliments!

I would recommend double sided tape or a safety pin for the bust, it is very loose, and I had to remain conscious of it the entire evening to make sure my bra wasn't showing! I generally wear a 6 or an 8 in dresses, and I was a 4 in this dress-luckily, I had the opportunity to try it on in the RTR boutique. The slit does not really show, unless you want it to.

I didn't end up wearying this because it was a bit to orange for my skin tone. This dress is very pretty and runs slightly large. The color didn't work for my skin as it is a bit on the orange side of red. Flows well and beautiful indeed. May have looked better if I had a tan, lol

Flattering dress, true red color, breezy, summery, ideal for a lakefront formal. The RTW stylist service, however, made this a wonderful experience. First dress didn't work. Sabrina, the RTW stylist, was helpful, compassionate, and insightful about what would look best for me. Used a good amount of fashion tape, which RTW was kind enough to toss in with the dress. Even with my large arms and shoulders, I needed to lift the halter portion a bit. Worked well; I felt lovely. RTW is now my go-to.

The bust ran very large, but I was able to use tape to hold it together. The length was perfect with just a simple 3" heel. By far my favorite dress I've ever worn to a wedding.

I got the 6L size. The dress looked beautiful from afar -- absolutely gorgeous color, good flow of material, etc. Up close, however, the material looks rather cheap and the bust fits very oddly. I wore it on stage, so I recommend something like that

The bust does run large and since I am large in that area , fashion tape and a pin were necessary so I wouldn't flash everyone. It was very long which was great for me since I am tall.

The dress was perfect, and I felt gorgeous in the red chiffon. Like everyone else says, the top part of the dress runs big and I had to make arrangements so the girls wouldn't fall out. The length hit perfect somehow with 3 inch heels, because I'm 5'2", and along with the help of "spanks" all of my imperfections flowed away with the chiffon. My husband and I had the best time at the wedding of the century and this dress truly made me feel worthy!!!

I was happily surprised since this was my first RTR purchase with the speed with shipping. I found this dress a little larger than I imagined. It was large on the top but it was easily fixed with fashion tape. Other than that the dress made my night even better. I received so many compliments on the color and how classic it looked. This dress was beautiful! It was perfect for my junior prom.

The dress was beautiful and so fun to dance in! The only problem was that I had to use fashion tape around the bust, because for a zero it ran a little large in that area. Other than that it was perfect and a great length with heels. (I ordered the zero long)

The dress does run small as many other reviews say.. I am usually a size ten and the 8 fit perfect, the only small problem i had was that it was a bit longer than what I expected, but i did not let that bother me.. The dress is Perfect! Many told me I looked like a Goddess, and I must say I felt like one!! Thank you RTR! :-)

The dress is really fun and flowy which makes it feel elegant and comfortable. I ended up taping the neckline just a little bit because it was fairly low-cut, but I was really happy with it. I am 5'10'' and it was just long enough without being too long.

The dress ran big, so I'm glad I ordered a size down. I probably could have gone two sizes down. The slit doesn't show a lot unless walking or sitting. It is very low cut, a bit more than the picture seemed. I was able to wear a regular bra and fashion-taped the dress. The cut and shape of the dress is very figure flattering!

I wore this dress to a black tie wedding on the 4th of July. It is a beautiful bright red gown, obviously well made. I loved wearing it and received tons of compliments; even the bride said I looked smoking hot! The top is large and I needed double sided tape to control the amount of cleavage. I had on 3.5 inch heels and it was a tad too long but because of the side slit and the flow of the dress I did not trip over it when I walked and danced. Overall I was extremely pleased with this dress and did not want to return it!

The zipper was a little sticky right were the waist hits, but a gentle tug is all you need to power through. The shoulders were a tad large on me, but with my bust I needed the extra room on top. Over all a lovely dress, lots of compliments. IT turns out a lot of the ladies at the function had also used RTR, and everyone was thrilled with their choice!
