Perfect Flared Out Dress
Y'all. If you've got a tiny rib cage and wide hips, this dress is everything you could ever ask for!!!! It's cotton, so there's no stretch, but they fit was absolutely perfect.

I got so many compliments on this pattern!
I liked that it had adjustable straps. Perfect for my pear shaped frame and narrow top. Super comfortable fabric and cut.

Engagement Picture Showstopper
We did out engagement pictures in December in upstate NY, so I knew I needed something long sleeved. My bridesmaids are also renting different dresses for the wedding and this was one of them, so I figured I would give it a shot. I ordered late and had to get 6R and a 10R. I'm super Pear / X shaped, so I decided to go for the 10R and just pin the top in. Listen to the review - I'm 5"4 1/2 and the 6R was TOO SHORT. I couldn't believe it. That's NEVER happened to me in my life haha! The 10R at least at some more length, so I could actually wear wedges. I'm super happy with how this photographed. The material was nice and thick and NOT scratchy at all. This is the second Badgley dress I've rented with sequins and neither were scratchy.

If you want a true red stunner, this is it.
I rented this for a formal wedding at the Ritz Carlton in Orlando. The material was lighter weight than I thought it would be, which worked out because of the heat. The 6 fit snug enough so that I could wear it without a bra (I'm a 34B). I wish I would've gotten the petite length though. I'm a little under 5'5 and even with 3 inch wedges, it was still a bit long. I'm EXTREMELY pear shaped (my waist is a 6/8 and my hips are a 12/14) and the size 5 worked perfectly!

Zipper is TOUGH
I loved this dress - except for the zipper. I rented a 6 and an 8 for my sister's bachelorette weekend in Atlantic City. The 6 would've fit perfectly, except for the fact the zipper wouldn't budge up OR down. The 8's zipper was a better, but still tough. I wore the 8 and fashion taped myself in. It photographs beautifully though!

Great Fit!
I got so many compliments on this dress - from the fit to the color. It was definitely more green than I thought it was going to be, but still very pretty. Definitely get it if you're pear shaped. You'll be comfortable and it'll fit your waist.

Hips/Butt - No problem!
I am the EPITOME of pear shaped. No - seriously. I think when my hips are measured, I measure at a size 14/16, but everything else is a 6/8. I'm a music teacher and needed a floor length dress to conduct in for my spring concert. This dress was PERFECT! I couldn't believe that I felt comfortable in it, it fit my waist up like a glove, and the bottom had ample room for my hips. I wore black wedges that were maybe 2 inches high - the length was perfect (I'm 5'4.5). My students said I looked better than some of the kids at prom lol! This was my first RTR experience and I'll definitely do it again. I ordered the 6R and the 8R. Once I tried the 6, I didn't even try on the 8. The only thing is - the zipper is hard to get over one of the seams. Other than that, perfect! I wish I had gotten a picture of me in it, but I was running around like a crazy person!
