Beautiful Dress
This dress was absolutely beautiful and very forgiving. (I am a size 14 these days after medical issues.) Looks wonderful when wearing it and you can sit and move comfortably. It was just the right length for me to wear flats without tripping. I wore it several times to black-tie events and would have happily bought it if it had been a tad less expensive. Loved it.

Great Dress
Very nice dress, very comfortable, the jersey fabric is great. The cheetah print helps hide some things but not everything, so I only wore it once (I am a bit of a pudge these days).

Beautiful floaty dress
Dress fit well and was very much a "fairy princess" look... just wasn't the look I wanted for my upcoming event. Otherwise was beautiful. (No, I am no longer a size 6.)

Great Dress
Another Badgley Mischka win. Comfortable to wear and helped disguise the more padded parts-- ahem-- of my current physique. (Nope, I am not still a size 6.)

Very Plunging Neckline
You really can't wear this dress without either a (black) bra or boob tape (I opted for the former). The top was also a bit loose-- hence the bra--and everything else quite snug. Was an attractive silhouette overall.

Flouncy, flirty short summer dress...
Liked the dress a lot. Was exactly as advertised, which was a super lightweight flirty summer dress. Slight overabundance of ruffles (at the waist in particular), but otherwise great-- it was quite short and showed off my legs.

Perfect classy summer dress...
Dress was fantastic, fit like a glove (though it was a little challenging to zip up on my own). Definitely recommend a strapless bra underneath, otherwise your chest gets flattened and the dress starts to gape (just a bit) on the sides. Overall, though, I loved it. Wore it dancing with my hair up and it looked amazing.

Gorgeous Dress
Dress looks beautiful, not too poufy, and fits very well-- didn't need to wear a bra. Tea-length is perfect for dancing.

Form-fitting, comfortable and a great dress for dancing...
Loved this dress. Wore it to a summer black-tie wedding and it looked gorgeous. The fit was right on target for a size 6. The back is too open for a regular bra (though it looks great!), so you will probably need an adhesive bra to make it work. If you have more than a small C-cup, the top may start to get tight. The length was great with ~3" heels (I'm 5'5"), but because I wanted to dance without tripping over the hem, I ended up in a pair of ~4.5-5" platform heels, which were perfect.

LOVED this dress!
This dress was simple, but fantastic. Fit in all the right places, loose in all the right places, classy silhouette, keyhole in the bodice was the perfect touch. I wasn't sure I was going to like this dress when I picked it out, but ended up loving it. Wore it out for an embassy tour in DC, for which it was ideal, and could totally see wearing this for everything from an after-the-beach dinner to a casual date. Great, GREAT DRESS.

Looked fine from the front, but....
Really wanted to like this dress. Dress was brand new, and while the fabric felt a bit cheap (eh), it looked great from the front. The problem came with the pleats in the back, which poofed out enough that it practically created a bustle... and made my rear look *enormous*. As in-- no joke-- two to three times its normal size. Very unfortunate.

A Little Over the Top
A little (actually a lot) over the top for a ballroom dance evening, and not a fabulous dress for dancing (tulle underskirt kept getting caught in my heels) but still looked great. Very much a princess dress with the wide, full skirt supported by layers of netting/tulle and a bit of a high-low hem.

Slinky, fitted and sexy!
Originally ordered it in a 6, but could barely zip it up, so I tried it in an 8. Still veeerrry form-fitting, but totally hugged my curves and was incredibly sexy. A little narrow for hips and legs, even with the sex appeal. Excellent for salsa dancing (ie small steps), not so great for tango.

Not my style...
Dress was clearly new and well-made, but it just didn't work for me. Tight in some areas, loose in others (ie not the right places). Part of it was likely that it was too small, but a loose bodice in a too-small dress likely wouldn't have improved when the dress was a size up. Also, the white base color made me look very wide, which was also not a plus. Likely looks fantastic on women sized 0-4.

Phenomenal Dancing Dress
Chose this dress for a ballroom dance party. It was a huge hit, fantastic to dance in. Fit was excellent, no bra needed, corset boning and defined waist meant it never slipped. Overall one of my favorites and I will likely rent again.

Very nice, but not what I was looking for.
This dress was beautifully made, the fabric was gorgeous, the fit was a dream, and the pockets were great, but unfortunately I wasn't thrilled with the final effect. The high bodice and the high-low hem combined to make me look short and was not as flattering as other dresses I have tried on and worn.

Not a fan, unfortunately.
Disappointing. Clearly well-made/high quality, but the sleeves were almost too tight to get on (despite the fact it's a knit), it gaped open over my chest, and was very clearly too small, even though I am regularly a size 6-8 in other clothes. Looked more like a robe than a dress.

Fancy night out with friends.
It was long (as stated in other reviews), but the color was fabulous (much more green and less teal than shown in the photos).
