Lost track of how many compliments I received!
I wore this to the Backstreet Boys concert in Vegas and it was PERFECT! It’s thick so no need to wear a bra, and the straps can be unhooked in the back to make shortening or lengthening easier. Yeah it was a little uncomfortable/scratchy under the arms but no worse than I anticipated. Easy to walk and sit in.

Elegant
I am typically about a size 2 and the small fit me so perfectly. Easy to move around in. A bit short on this taller gal wearing 3+” heels, but not a deal breaker.

Feel like a million bucks
I LOVED wearing this dress. I felt like a Grecian goddess. The skirt is flowy and the train looks lovely down a flight of steps (as does the slit). It’s a bit tight to zip so be sure to have an extra pair of hands. Highest recommendation!

Well made and rich color
I wore this to a medical school alumni event with tights and black booties and then again also for holiday card photos. It is a very heavy fabric but has great stretch. Color is beautiful and would compliment a lot of skin tones.

Outdoor wedding perfection
Wore this for an afternoon outdoor wedding in Southern California and it could not have been more perfect. It’s pretty long (I wore high TOMS wedge sandals) but the colors are gorgeous. It was pinker in person than I expected from the photos but maybe that was just me. Loved it!

Fun but a lil short
Wore this dress wine tasting and it was perfect for the vibe of the day. I am nearly 5’7” and when I put this dress on I thought “oh no, I am 37 years old, this dress is too short on me.” Be a bit careful bending over but have fun and rake in the compliments!

Beautiful colors, photographed great for maternity pictures
Sorry I can't upload a picture, but they're all too large of files. For reference, I was 33 weeks pregnant. I am nearly 5'7". Pre-pregnancy I am a size 2 and weigh ~130 lbs. At this point in my pregnancy I weighed ~165 lbs and was all belly. I wore the long which was a bit long in the front but helped with the belly; regular might have been too short. The back is difficult to zip up on your own, but I've found this to be true with all Badgley Mishka dresses.

Non-stop compliments!
Seriously, you better have confidence to wear this dress as literally everyone from a hotel valet, an Uber driver, multiple bartenders, and even a random man on the street (not always the most appreciated...) commented on how sparkly and amazing this dress looks. The sequins rubbed under my arms a little bit but honestly it got better throughout the night. It is nice and stretchy, though I found the sleeves a little hard to get off. I felt like a million bucks and would wear this everywhere if that was appropriate.

Fun pattern, great colors.
I'd been eyeing this dress for awhile so I finally rented it for my sister in law's baby shower. I wore it to work the day before and noticed that the little circles in the top are see through, so I wore a camisole so as not to have my bra showing at work. However, I hadn't thought about the same circles in the skirt--I looked down at one point to see my underwear through the holes! It was only noticeable when sitting and things were lined up just right, but either way--wear nude underwear. It fit very nicely up top without being too revealing.

Beautiful color, makes you feel sexy, a real stunner
I ended up wearing the small instead of the XS not because it fantastically better but because there was just a little more breathing room. I didn't realize how it was baggy in the back on me, but if you have more going on back there than I do then it shouldn't be an issue (this was why I took off one star). The top fit very nicely. My fiance said this was one of his top few favorite dresses that I have ever worn. I felt very sexy and it really made my engagement pictures pop!

Beautiful color, fits well
I ordered the 2 and the 4; when the 2 fit I didn't even try on the 4. It was more white than I expected but it was still beautiful. Very comfortable except for slightly tight arms. I forgot to pack nude underwear but it ended up not being too see-through (though I wouldn't recommend black or unnecessarily bright colors). Overall another great RTR dress that I would definitely recommend!

Beautiful color, good structure
I got the 2 and the 0 and they both fit but the length of the 2 was longer (in a good, safe to move around kind of way). The lining of the dress is actually gray with a light blue mesh over it to give it the look of being blue between the darker blue swirly stripes; surprising, but interesting. Nice thick material, good for a Southern California evening. Would rent again--if I didn't have a wish list of >100 other dresses waiting!

Vibrant color, great fit
My boyfriend said this was his favorite dress that I've rented because it fit so nicely in the body and the color was so me. The fabric is thick but not stiff, and the shape it holds is very flattering. Would rent again!

Good potential, didn't fit me so well
This dress is quite tight but stretchy enough. However, it then bunches and doesn't look near as fabulous as it does on the model. I think wearing it with heels could have helped, but I was doing a lot of walking while on vacation so I wore flats. It certainly made the girls look nice, but other than that I didn't feel as chic as the model made me think I would.

A little on the big side (so if you are petite/have small wrists they could definitely slide off) but just so fun.

Beautiful shimmer, flattering cut.
I ended up wearing the 2 (didn't even try on the 0, and when I went to send it back, I noticed one of the buttons on the upper back was missing so I was glad I didn't need that one...) and it fit great in the chest/midsection. Perfect length, nice amount of shimmer for winter. Another dress I'd love to own!

So sparkly
I got the 38 and 40, and I ended up wearing the 40. The 38 fit as well, but the 40 hid my tummy better (don't we all have something we want to hide?). Having the cloth around the neck and arms made the sparkles less itchy, though to sit for long periods during dinner they definitely started to scratch my legs. It didn't matter--the look was well worth the pain! LOVED this dress!

I got so many compliments on my super sparkly dress!
Because of the elastic waist, I would say it stretches well. The sequins are terribly scratchy at the neck, to the point that I was red and irritated before even leaving my hotel room for the wedding reception I wore it to. The skirt twirls well, and it is very flattering on. You either need a racerback bra or to pin your bra straps inside the shoulders like I did (why would a dress this expensive come without bra strap holders?). I wore with flats due to space restraints in my weekend bag, but heels would have really taken it up a notch. Loved this dress!

So sparkly and a flattering color
I ended up wearing a size 0 based on other reviews saying it runs smaller. The only tight part was getting it zipped around my lower ribcage, and other than that it fit perfectly. The sequins are both bright and subtle, perfect for a daytime wedding in a gazebo. Just like all sequin dresses it can be rough/scratchy, to the point that when I was holding a baby I didn't let her bare skin touch the dress for fear of scratching her. I wore it with flats because of space in my bag for the weekend, and it was great with them; heels would have been awesome too though.
