Very girly and flowy
After a year of quarantine I thought I was ready for fancy...I wasn't! But it is a nice dress, perfect for a spring/summer wedding. I got the 16W but would have preferred the 14, my true size, they did not have it so I am not 100% sure on sizing, but the 16W fit as I would expect that size to fit, the waist tie helped create a good, flowy fit.

Not for short-waisted.
These fit just fine size-wise. Unfortunately I think I am out of luck with a short waist until the trends turn! This had a lot of room between my actual crotch and the hang of the shorts. If I pulled them up, it looked like I was missing a torso. The only way I would have been able to wear them was to wear a top un-tucked and the built-in tie at the waist made it look awkward.

SMALL
I got an XL, I would normally wear a Large. I read that it fit small...but I couldn't get it over my shoulders...maybe I missed that it was euro or asian sizing? It was VERY small.

Thick fabric. An every day fall or winter feel (with a jacket)
The fabric is heavy. It was just not the feel I wanted. The fit was generous, a 12 fit fine and I can fall between a 12-14 depending on the cut. Overall, not my style.

Cute dress for casual or day events.
It was a little more casual than I thought, but ok for every day. I wasn't thrilled about the bell-type sleeves on me so I wore a shirt over.

Love the color and style!
Sometimes pleating can be bulky, this was not. It was a little tight in the waist for the size. Since I fall between sizes, I opted for the size up and I'm glad. It mixes well with a cocktail/formal type event or with everyday workday. Think classy black top or casual T and Jean jacket. Heels or boots...it's a great piece!

Comfy, pretty and easy to mix in any wardrobe.
Great fit. I am broad shouldered and always worried about bulkiness, but this is light enough to not bulk and lay on your frame nicely. I was worried it would be bright, Kelly-green but it is not bright, yet still colorful and pretty. Mixes well with dressy clothes and with jeans/casual. I love it!

Loved it---have to pin the top, though!
I really loved this jumper-everyone said I should keep it. I did wear the heck out of it for the time I had it, it was so comfy and worked beautifully. Even easy to slip in/out of to go to the bathroom (I hate that part of jumpers!) I don't see how anyone could wear this without pinning it at the chest. I definitely had to, I am not sure why it doesn't come with a hook and loop or button. But it is a great outfit!

Bold and fun!
I wish I could keep this dress forever! I might rent it again one day for sure. Such a great find. The mid-section is forgiving, if you worry about that. It is a little short, but it never made me worried (and I can sometimes worry about that). I was worried it would make me boxy looking, especially with the middle being a fuller cut, but it all just seemed to work. I also loved the shoulders and back and found it stress-free as I was able to wear a regular, basic strapless bra and some basic pale-pink/nude shoes worked along with pink and rose-gold jewelry. The fabric weight is a little heavier, but not bulky. In a world of black cocktail dresses, this one stands out as SO FUN--plus POCKETS!! Loved it.

Pretty and fun dress - lot's of compliments
I wish I owned it! I wasn't sure about the drop waist, but it was great. Some had commented on the length and I have long legs so I was a little worried about it being shorter than I wanted, but it was perfect for a day party/shower. The material is nice and thick enough where you don't have to worry about it blowing up or anything see-through. I loved it!

Furry, fun and fab. Great conversation piece!
I knew I probably needed the L, but only had a choice of M or Xl, I ended up wearing the XL. The M just didn't feel roomy enough. The coat itself is so cute and fun! I wish I had one to throw on whenever, but glad I had it for a fun night out! Everyone will want to pet you. So cute!

Pretty neckline/shoulders, not overly "dressy"
I am between sizes, and, while both a 12 and 14 fit, I opted for the 14 because I wanted to feel ok crawling in and out of cabs, etc. I have a larger chest, so I was a little concerned about the bra situation. It does cut low down the arm-holes and it a strap-racerback. I was able to wear a bandeau solid black tube-top bra w/o it showing. The beading detail is lovely and a really nice "showpiece" for this dress. The color on the beading is more grey (blue-toned) white, so the right shoe might be a strappy silver or black with silver detail. I wore nude/black wedges and no one called me out, but I wished it matched up a little better. You can get away with wearing minimal jewelry for this one as well because of the beading and neckline---so you will save a little $ and effort there. When I looked at pics of this it seemed a little more like a shift dress, but wearing it, it was just a slightly looser sheath. Zips on the side and it didn't stick on me---it's always nice not to have to get an assist. The lining is pretty substantial, making it a little hotter (I was in Vegas in summer---so it was HOT) but, I didn't have to worry about underwear showing! I liked this one a lot! I wish it came in other colors/details, I would definitely consider buying!

It's pretty and conservative
No doubt this is a lovely piece. I just found it a little conservative for the cocktail event I was attending. I ended up just wearing for church the next morning instead because I had to opt for something "flashier" for my event. =( If you like modest/conservative it's a good option. . It's very "pantsuity" I have a large chest and I wasn't able to wear a bra which would have been a little problematic had I had to dance in it. Sitting still it was fine. If you can wear the sticky things you might be in good shape. Or maybe if I had the size smaller it would have been tight enough to not worry about it.

Pretty pink color, forgiving cut!
It's an easy fitting dress. The bottom portion fits snug on belly/hips, but the top is forgiving (especially when sitting, so you don't feel conscious about your gut! =) I love the neck/shoulders and the cut away in the back is a lovely detail as well! I think you could get away with a strapless bra, although I managed without a bra without problems, it has decent support in the chest. People will compliment the color, it's pretty.

Lovely top, great for blazer looks
I liked this shirt, but would have rather had it during a warmer season so I didn't have to cover it up with a blazer! The arm holes are nice, not constricting. The sizing seems fine, I was worried about it fitting tight across my chest/shoulders and got the size up (XL), but should have gotten the L. I wish I could have worn it more!

Sleek, fashionable, bright and fun
So many compliments on this dress! I loved it. Even with the racerback, I was still able to wear a regular strapless bra under. I was glad I got this one and would wear it again.

Didn't work out =(
I had selected this for a formal gala. I have worn several other Badgley Mischka dresses before, so I thought I could work this one, sadly, it was just slightly too tight in the chest/bust and I couldn't get it zipped. So sad! =(

Super cute! Fun and flirty---LOVE!
I have a broad chest/shoulders, and a larger bust, but the drape works fine. I love it paired with a jacket/blazer where the "tail" peeks out! It is really more of a red-orange (heavy on the orange) but bold, crisp color. I wore a racer back bra, a strapless might be better if you can get away with that. It sits right at the waist in the front, so if you lift your arms, you might show a little belly, just know that if you are concerned about things like that! Such a nice fit. Fun piece to have!

Not my cup of tea...but it fits well and is comfy.
I rented as a possible back up dress. I got the 14, if anything it is a little larger, BUT you need some assistance zipping!! I was able to slip it over my head (which probably means it was too large, but if I had sized down I am sure I couldn't have zipped it alone.) I thought it made me look boxy, usually I don't have that problem, so, consider that. I am typically trying to minimize my hips and accentuate my waist, and it didn't do that well. It's pretty, though and an easy dress to pull off with black or nude heels and minimal jewelry. It was my first Badgley M. dress to rent so I am glad to get a little more insight on sizing.

Fun, stylish, versatile!
I rented this as a work/everyday/weekend outing piece (through Unlimited---I just didn't need another dress). I love the fun fit. Mix with jeans and a T or a sheath/skirt can dress up or down. Fit was sleek and tailored. Nice! I wish I could afford it!

Not my usual style, worth the rental!
I would never choose a dress with any kind of lacey overlay, but I was heading to a masquerade cocktail event and thought this would be fun. It's a little hard to zip over the waist seam, have a friend handy, but it fits and feels great! Lots of compliments. Great to accentuate a waist (sometimes bigger girls don't get to do that because the style swallows us!) I would definitely rent it again. I have a large bust and didn't need to wear a bra...that's UNHEARD of for me.

Pretty and vibrant colors! Not for the busty!
This wrap was very sleek and nice but it does gape if you have a bigger bust. The model pic on the product page gives you a good indicator, she doesn't have a large bust/cleavage, yet it is still a very open deep v neck line. I can wear a camisole under for a more modest fit. It's a little shorter than I normally wear, but I think hose will be fine for an afternoon, evening conservative wedding!
