Perfect for A Formal Affair!
This dress is such as easy fit! The empire waist and deep v-neck make it extremely flattering. I also loved the sequin detail, definitely made the dress really special. This dress runs pretty true to size, I would recommend sizing down in backup especially if you are smaller. Overall, you can not go wrong with this gown!

I am thinking about wearing this to a semi-formal wedding. I am the sister of the groom. Do you think it is too dressy or inappropriate?
RTR CustomerOctober 12, 2012
Hi Lauren! It depends on how formal the wedding is, as this is definitely a dressier style. The fit is very flattering, so if you are looking for a more formal look then this would be a great choice!

Amazing dress, loved it so much didn't want to let it go next day :)
Fitted me perfectly without any flaws, very comfortable to move around and of course catches all the attention!
Plus absolutely loved RTR customer service, thank you guys! I think I'm addicted to your website now, will definitely rent again for next occasion!

I am small chested - A cup- will there be too much loose material in the chest area?
RTR CustomerFebruary 4, 2013
Hi Ashley! This dress should still be fine on you, I would just suggest getting a size smaller in the dress!
MariahFebruary 26, 2013
This dress is beautiful! I am 5'10 and my usual size is a 8L, but my bust is a 36DD. Do you recommend getting a size larger because of my bust size?
RTR CustomerFebruary 27, 2013
Hi Mariah! This dress actually runs a bit large, so you should be perfectly fine in your usual size!
JessicaOctober 22, 2014
I'm about 5'6" petite but with a large chest. Should I go with a regular or long since I am wearing high heels?

This dress was absolutely perfect for the Ms. Veteran America Pageant!
I am usually a size 14. But the 14L ran a bit big around the mid section. So I went with the 12L & as you can see perfection! Thank you RTR. I had an amazing time in this super comfortable gown!

BEAUTIFUL GOWN! So comfortable!
I had ordered this as my backup dress in the 8R. It was too big. On Friday, I called Customer Service and they sent me a backup in the 6R and i had it in time for the event! I got a lot of compliments and the dress is so comfortable and you can wear it with a regular bra! It does run big so I recommend ordering a size down.

How long is it from the natural waist. I am short 5'4 and don't do we'll in super tall shoes.
RTR CustomerDecember 24, 2012
Hi Jennifer! You should be perfectly fine in the regular length with 2-3 inch heels! Also, if you prefer even shorter heels, you can get the petite length!

I LOVED the dress! Unfortunately, it was WAY too long to wear to my event. So I returned it.
I am 5'8" tall and I ordered the 14L. It was about an inch and a 1/4 too long and that is WITH 3.25 inch platform heels. So I returned it. If I had the time I would have tried renting the regular length. I think that would have worked.

It was simply a dazzler
I'm am 5'8 and built straight up and down with a full bust and the dress fit slightly large which made it fall off the shoulder but that made it look even more sexy. The waist remained semi fitted which was great. Received MANY MANY compliments "you look like a model" was my favorite comment! Will definitely rent again!!

Great dress - sparkled on stage all night. Runs a bit big on top - but Hollywood tape really helps! My biggest problem is topping this dress for my next event. Love Badgley Mischka!

I loved this dress...I felt like a princess. Only issue was that the sequins scratched under my arms a bit. Really great dress though!

How did the length work? I am 6'2'' and ordered the X-Long. I don't plan on wearing any more than a 1 inch heel. Just hoping the dress is long enough.

Very Classy, Simply Elegant, well made gown. You know eyes are on you. The lites dance off the sequi
I wore it to an annual benefit Ball and halfway through the evening i was approached by a local news personality who told me she had been admiring my dress all evening. I wore it with long black gloves which kicked it into Audrey Hepburn mode (long silver gloves would have also been awesome).
I did get the alternate (free) size 8, which was a good idea because the size 6 was too small. The band is slightly higher on the waist and it runs long so if you are shorter this probably isn't the dress for you unless you don't mind a train, otherwise its the kinfd of dress that would complement any body type. I absolutely LOVED it. I also rented the suggested earrings which were a Perfect compliment.

Had to buy a dress instead.
The dress was drop-dead gorgeous and would have been very comfortable to wear. Unfortunately, it was so long I would have to have worn 6" heels with it. I can't do that, so I had to send the dress back. I ordered the "long," as I thought that was recommended for someone my height. Oh, well. I unfortunately had to return it.

The dress, its fit and experience was unforgettable.
Wore the gown to a college alumni scholarship gala. It was true to size for me and able to wear a regular bra. Ordered the long and wore 3" heels and that worked out good. Got many compliments and felt very special in it because it fit so well. The service in ordering and the packaging that is included for returning helped the experience go even more smoothly. Can't wait to rent again.

This dress really helps flatter a full/curvy figure. I really enjoyed wearing it & was surprised by how comfortable it was. Service by RTR was impeccable, arrived on time. Im 5'7 and size 14, I wore 3 inch heels with about 1.5inch platform and it was just the right length. Will rent again soon!!

Pretty dress but lots of extra fabric
I went with another dress for the event. This dress is pretty but it seems to have lots of extra fabric, which can be forgiving,but if your on the shorter side it just seems like to much dress.

Pretty dress, but not as flattering in the hips.
I ordered this as my back up dress. It does run large- I'm usually a 4 and the 2 fit me perfectly. I wish the petite had been available because the 2R was just a touch too long and I worried that I step on it. I'm 5'2" and wore 3in heels. Overall the dress is beautiful and comfortable since you can wear a regular bra with it. Wish I could have worn both dresses that I ordered!

I wore this to my husband's Marine Corps Ball. Compared to the other dates, I felt like a rockstar!
I like my bling, but at a formal event such as the ball, it has to be classy. The dress was perfect, and the fit was phenomenal! The only con is that the zipper gets tough to zip at a certain point, but just play nice and it will zip right up! Overall, the dress gets two thumbs up and RTR gets extra brownie points for their outstanding customer service :)

The usual stress of shopping for an event was taken away.
I did not wear this dress as it was a backup for the original dress I purchased and wore. It is, however, a beautiful dress. I purchased the 14R and 16R and the 16R was a bit tight around rib cage. I could've dealt with this but the 16R was a bit too short - I ended up wearing a 16L in the same dress but a different color (I usually wear an 18 dress.) Note that this dress, although beautiful, does not do anything to hide a large derrière - it merely accentuates it through the rhinestones. Not exactly something that I would recommend for someone looking to minimize the butt, but the black color is better for this than the other color of the same dress I wore, the Badgley Mischka Glitz Gown dress (gold.) Lastly, this gown does sparkle - I would recommend studded earrings with understated hair, down if possible. An updo just takes away from the dress and makes it look like you are trying too hard.

It was shocking how many people stopped me to compliment this dress.
The dress is beautiful and very comfortable. I love that you can wear a regular bra with it. I got compliments on it all night long. At first I didn't like it because although the top is very flattering to anyone, I believe, it does puff out at the hips a little. I thought it would be more flattering if it were straight; however I got over it and felt great in it. I am 5'6, 135 athletic, and curvy (34DD). I am usually a size 6 so I ordered the 6 and a 4L (I don't know why I went with the L) because someone else said that it runs large. It does. The 6 was too big. The 4 was a good fit but I definitely should not have gotten the long. I was tripping on it all night but no one seemed to notice. :) A great first RTR experience. My only regret is that we forgot to take a picture.

Beautiful dress! I got lots of compliments. Flattering fit, and easy to wear. It was great to wear a regular bra and not have to fuss with a strapless all night. It does run a little big on top (thank you, Hollywood tape). Overall a lovely dress for a special evening.

Walking into the party and having the most glamorous dress there!
It ran true to size, although based on the recommendations I got the long size. It was really too long, even with 3" heals ( I am 5'8"). I could have gotten away with the normal length.
It was very comfortable, except for a little scratchiness under the arms while dancing, but moved very well. I felt so amazing and got tons of compliments!

Nothing special, but a safe choice.
I rented this dress very last minute for a black tie gala. I ordered it the Thursday before the Saturday event and RTR was able to get it to me in time, thank you. This dress is functional and if you need a dress that is guaranteed to be "ok" then this is a great choice. But it's not anything to write home about. It's a very simple black sequined dress. I actually think it's a little less glam than what is pictured. I was happy with the length as I am 5'9" and was still able to wear 3 inch heels.

It was a perfect dress for a black tie event, specifically a New Year's Eve celebration!
The fit was really wonderful and was exactly what I expected based on photos and other reviews. I am 5'10" and found the long version to be perfect with 3" heels. The top fit well and was conservative enough that I could wear it comfortably to a formal event. Overall, I was very impressed and am looking forward to the next rental!

so many compliments!
the neckline and waistline are very flattering... a knock-out. i'm not usually comfortable being in a dress all night long, but this was a knock-out. everyone complimented me on it and it's a very flattering dress. i go between a 10 and 12, but found the 10L fit much better on top. the bottom of the dress had some sequences missing, but nobody noticed it besides me... wouldn't change a thing about this beautiful dress!

It was an absolute gorgeous dress!
I wasn't able to wear the dress after all because I have a large rib cage. It fit really well in the bust, waist and hips, but it was just a few inches short of wanting close around my ribcage.

loved it...except the zipper
This dress would have been a hit with me if it weren't for the zipper malfunction. The zipper totally wouldn't zip up over the gathering and sequins and I ended up having to tape it all up in the back and then wearing a sweater over it to hide the fastenings. It did look good however and everyone loved the look.

Glamorous dress!
This dress was gorgeous in person! It did run a bit larger in size, but the fit was great. The dress fabric and sequins were a bit heavy, which made the dress shape fall really well. I used a little fabric tape on the chest which worked perfectly. It ran a bit long for me but it was to be expected. With 3" heels it was manageable.

Anothe great dress with RTR! Loved this gown, I held my own in a ball room FULL of glitzy gowns!
I typically would wear an 8L so I got the 8 and the 6. As other reviews had mentioned it did run large and the 6L was perfect. Some had mentioned the long was too long... I am 5'9 and only wore 3 inch heels and it was perfect. As others mentioned the zipper on both dresses was a bit challanging but I think its because its made so well with the ruching and the nice lining..
I also found this dress fit nicer without a bra or body spanx.. I just wore spanx hosery.
LOVE RTR wll be ordering again soon for a March wedding!

Elegant and comfortable
Wore this one to an inaugural ball. I usually wear a 10 or 12 depending upon cut and brand, and the size 10 fit easily, so I'd say the sizing on the dress is on the generous side. Great to be able to wear a bra with straps -- found one that was low-cut enough in front for the deep V-neckline. RTR, thanks for including the fashion tape, which kept the dress rated PG-13. No need for Spanx or any uncomfortable undergarments. The 10L was just barely long enough for me. In bare feet the hem just slightly grazed the floor, so I wore a low heel (whch was fine with me.) I was surprised by how not-pokey the sequins were, and grateful that I didn't walk around shedding them all night. Good engineering by Badgley Mischka, I guess.

Runs true to size but I chose my second dress option because this dress was too heavy, made my chest look too small and my hips too large...

great for a black tie event
I really liked this dress. It was easy to wear, comfortable, and no crazy strapless bras or tape needed :) The only downside is that the 4L was kind of short. I was hoping to be able to wear 2 inch (or higher) heels but I had to wear flats (I am 5' 9.5"). The draping on the dress gave me some extra "bulk" in my hip area which didn't bother me but I could see how it might bother some.

Great dress. I am 5'5" and it was a perfect length to show off my shoes. I would rent this gown again, however, I had to pin the V because I didn't want to show that much boobage - but there is totally enough room for even the larger chested girls like me!

Felt like the Belle of the Ball in this one!
The dress is formally fitted, but not too tight;) I wore this to the Inaugural Ball . I wanted to stay away from my comfort--BLACK..but when I tried this dress on, my friends reaction reassured me that this was the one. felt comfortable in it .. and received alot of compliments. I wore it with my furr coat, also Badhgley Mischka dangling earings, and wrist bangles went perfect with the dress. I never wear my hair up but with this dress it seemed suitable and i felt comfortable enough to do so.
