Didn't love it. Looked much cuter on the model than me.
The fabric is thick and seemed sort of oddly... shaped/wavy/stretched? Not sure. This dress didn't look very flattering on me and I don't think I would wear it out. The back also kept hiking up so perhaps it was just too small for me :-( I'm glad the stylists had thrown some other fun options in the mix because my initial choice ended up being my least favorite of the three dresses I ordered that week!

Fun dress - Looked surprisingly good on me!
This was an extra dress that I received because my original choice came back damaged - It was so great, I'm hoping to rent it for an occasion in the future. I loved the built in bra feature...36D worked fine, though I'll re-review after an actual wedding occurs with dancing! It is pretty poofy on bottom, but that made me look smaller on top and it was long enough that I didn't feel like it was too young. Great color!

Gorgeous classy (very green) gown
This was a really beautiful dress I tried on - I didn't have an occasion for it specifically. It really flattered the tummy area and hung nicely without being too heavy. The 10R was probably a little short for me (5'8") - I wore short heels in these pictures (1" ?) but I'd rather not trip anyway! One tough part would be bra placement as my normal bra peeped out in the lower back, so I'd need a lower lying bra in the future for a real gala. It looks much greener in person than in pictures - which might be really ideal. You can have the really bold statement for the event, but a slightly classier/more subdued statement if the lighting in your pictures is fairly low. If I get an excuse to wear a green gown, this would be my top choice!

Take the Stage Gown
Badgley Mischka
Size Worn: 10R
Usual Size: 10

Comfortable!
Dress arrived too late for my function, so I tried it on before sending it back to see how it fit. The 10 fit well. I think adding Spanx/stockings would have helped smooth out the tummy a bit and let it hang more nicely. Both dresses were in good condition and comfortable. Great to be able to wear a normal bra. Easy to match with shoes! The sequins were a great color and photographed differently depending on the light. Really nice dress.
