Great pick for my birthday party
This dress was fantastic. Tons of stretch, heavier material. I got lots of compliments. Great for curves. I wore a Nubra but you could wear any bra.

Didn't fit
It's of course beautiful, well made Herve - BUT, I think this is definitely a smaller one than normal. I had lost weight since the last time I wore an L in HL and it was still almost impossible to zip.

Didn't wear
Rented this for NYE, didn't end up wearing because my first choice was much better. This one is very short, and that usually doesn't scare me. But it was toooooo short.

Perfect NYE glam
Great sparkle for NYE. Fit was comfortable. The black layer underneath occasionally would show at the cleavage. But that was my only negative, overall a perfect choice.

Major glam
Loved this ring. It's huge, very sparkly, adjustable. Was the perfect accent to my NYE look.

Didn't wear - runs small
I was surprised by the fabric on this dress. Thought for some reason it was like a matte jersey but it was very sheer and foufy. Runs too small, I couldn't zip the 14. I've worn two other strapless Badgley's in the last 2 months and they fit me perfectly in a 14.

Classy, great color
Got tons of compliments. Very flattering! The long was perfect with heels. I got the 12 after reading all of the reviews and it was very comfy, maybe could've done the 10 but I wanted to be comfortable all night. A little hard to figure out the shoulder part but you get it eventually.

Shimmering Sexy
Wore this for a Halloween gala, fit great, was comfy. I've worn a BM gown recently so I was aware that for me the R is too short and the L is just a few inches too long. So I taped up the hem w fashion tape which is a pain, but worth it. I had no issues with the dress. The shimmer of the sequins is very attention getting.

Didn't wear but sold on Herve from now on
This was sent to me as a replacement dress. I was always curious about HL but had never tried on. My other dress was just more comfortable for the event so I didn't wear this but, it's gorgeous, well-made, heavy fabric, great cut. Like everyone says about HL, like "full body Spanx". So sexy if you have curves.

Didn't wear it
This fit well but something was wrong with the bottom of it, it wasn't even. And wasn't long enough. The color is beautiful, it just wasn't my favorite of the dresses I got. When I got to my event, someone else had it on so I'm really glad I didn't wear it!

Beautiful color
I was sent this as a backup dress. It is not my style at all but is really beautiful. I found the 14 to be tight in the rib cage, there is no stretch to the fabric. The sleeves and lace are beautiful.

Was sent as a backup, didn't wear
Color is sparkly and stunning. For me, dress was tight in rib cage, I needed the 14. Very roomy from the band down, very forgiving heavier fabric.

Didn't wear, but very elegant
So, I'm really a 14 but tried the 12 since it runs a little large. It fit, almost perfectly but the back was just a little tight so I didn't end up wearing it. The nude color on the left side is really gorgeous. It's flattering and certainly covers up any tummy issues.

Didn't wear it - the back just doesn't work
This dress is beautiful from the front. Fit like a glove. Very comfortable. Heavier material. But that back just did not work for me. It gaps when you move your arms. If I had to wear it, I could've had someone tape it but, I would worry about it all night. Just not worth it.

Didn't fit, original size damaged but still GORGEOUS!
This dress is absolutely gorgeous - the cut is very flattering. Color is perfect. No bra needed. My original size was unavailable due to damage. They sent one size down but I couldn't zip it up past the ribcage. There's no stretch at all. But I will definitely rent this in my size for another event - in fact, I can't wait!

Great color - lots of compliments!
The lace and color is beautiful. Length was good, dress has no stretch, tight around ribcage. Pockets are cool, bottom half is big so good to cover up any problem areas. I had a slight problem with the lining of the dress showing when I bent forward so I taped it up a few inches underneath w invisible tape. I had 4 people at my event that I didn't know tell me they loved the dress or ask where I got it - that's always a plus!
