Perfect with cowboy boots for a barn wedding!
Loved the fit, especially since I was 4 months pregnant! Very comfortable, but beautiful for a barn wedding to show off my cowboy boots :)

I felt like I should be walking the red carpet, in spite of being pregnant!
This dress was gorgeous! I loved the color and the flow of the dress. I felt like it ran small through the ribcage, but that is not unusual for other Badgley Mischka dresses I have worn, and it could also be that my ribcage has expanded since I am 4 months pregnant. I would definitely rent again when I am not pregnant to feel even more glamorous!

Free try-on experience with Rent the Runway!
This dress was ethereal and stunning! The fabric felt really soft against my skin and the bodice was so beautiful! The only downside to the dress was the buttons in the back, which need to be individually hooked, and you cannot do that alone. The button holes are small, so it takes some effort to get them fastened. But very worth it! Thanks, RTR, for letting me try it on for free!

Free try-on experience with Rent the Runway!
I usually wear a 6, but they only had the 8 available, and so it was a little large in the waist and bust. The dress kept sliding up in the hip area, which could be because of the size being too large or just that the dress is not formulated to accommodate my larger hips! It was beautiful, though - such a fairy tale dress! It has an inner corset to help hold the dress up, so you feel very secure. I did not have to pull it up at all, even though it was a little big for me.

GORGEOUS dress! Love the lace and the yellow! It does run a little small, particularly in the hip area - there is no real give if you are hippy like me. But, it is stunning, and I felt amazing in the dress. The shoulders do want to slide down easily, but that would not deter me from renting it. Thanks, RTR for letting me try it on for free!!

Felt like a million bucks!
Dress ran big as most reviewers said, so I ordered a size smaller than I am right now (6), and the 4 fit perfectly! I felt classy, but sexy, and was comfortable on top of it all! Would love to own this as a little black dress :)

Dress was delivered to my hotel!
Loved the fit; hugged my body very well, and was gorgeous. Would upload a picture, but we got caught in a rainstorm on the way back to our hotel, and only had pictures soaking wet :(. But the dress was still beautiful and I would definitely rent again!

I have had my eye on this dress since they added it to the website, and am so thrilled I finally got to wear it! I wore it to my cousin's black tie optional wedding and it was perfect! It fit wonderfully and I got a ton of compliments on it :)

I absolutely LOVED this dress! I even considered trying to purchase it, I loved it so much! I am pear shaped, around a size 4, and the small fit perfectly. Definitely a dress for a woman who wants to look sexy and show off her curves, and it was incredibly comfortable, even after eating a 5 course meal! It was perfect for my first anniversary with my husband :)

I rented this as my back up dress, and did not end up wearing it for my event. The material is rather thin and stretchy, which is great in that it is comfortable, but showed any imperfection I have. Definitely needed Spanx underneath! Pretty dress, I think I am just too hip-y for the material.

Envious stares from other women!
I agree with both of the previous reviews; it is definitely a hot little number, and the boning does hurt! I got around the boning issue by folding the inner fabric up around the boning and then I was not being stabbed by it. I wore it with the straps, and as my husband said, I got envious stares from other women at the party we went to! Very figure flattering with the way the strips of linen are arranged!

I got this dress for Valentine's Day with my husband. This dress hugged every curve, and was even comfortable! But the biggest plus was that my husband literally followed me into every room I went into while I was wearing it because he just wanted to look at me in the dress! Money well spent, if you ask me!
