Classy and sassy
Gorgeous dress but I did size up to the 6 (I am normally a 4). The zipper was tough and it’s not a dress you can zip yourself. My husband had to help. As many others noted, this dress shows some major cleavage. I don’t have a lot to show but this dress puts it all out there. Not too heavy for a sequined dress, but a wonderful choice for a winter/cold weather formal activity.

Fun, fabulous and full of sparkle
Such a fun dress for a black tie gala at the North American International Auto Show (aka Auto Prom). Note that the dress is extremely snug and you will likely need someone to help zip. My size up (medium) was not available but I am not sure if I would have sized up. The dress has stretch so it was comfortable and the sequins were not itchy, thanks to the lining. I received so many compliments - it is a dress that definitely stands out. Dressy enough for black tie but still very fun. I did go braless; you could wear sticky cups but I didn't think it was necessary.

Definitely not for everyone ...
This dress is a tough one; I think if you're very tall and very thin, it would work. As a 5'1" woman with some curves, this was never going to work - I did end up sending it back and borrowed from a friend. It's a very cool dress but not a good fit for my build/size.

Gorgeous dress, extremely low cut ...
This was a gorgeous dress that I absolutely loved wearing but I cannot emphasize enough how deep the neckline plunges. And, the shorter you are (or, the shorter your torso), the deeper the V. I ended up buying a lace bra to wear over my regular bra, as the amount of cleavage would have otherwise been inappropriate for a wedding. I ordered my normal size (a 4) and ordered a size up, per RTR's recommendations. I think I might have preferred going one size down, but with the additional lace piece that I wore, it worked out fine. It's a beautiful dress, but you will show excessive cleavage!

Secret Garden Dress
Badgley Mischka
Size Worn: 4

Very pretty; but doesn't look like photos ...
I didn't end up wearing this dress, as I had an alternate dress for my backup that fit much better. Despite the other reviews recommending sizing down, I only had the option of ordering my usual dress size (a 4) - and it was quite snug. The dress is definitely darker in real-life, compared to the photos shown on this site and the gold is much more dull than anticipated. You would need to wear a strapless or racer back bra, given the cut of the front of the dress. It is a VERY pretty dress but does look quite different from the images - and, the chest/bust area is snug, so I'd suggest ordering up a size for your backup.

Fun and fabulous in a sea of black dresses.
I rented this for a museum fundraiser/fashion show. The dress fit true to size. I'm almost always a 4 and it fit great. I did order the size 2 as a backup but it dug into my underarms. You do have to be a bit careful with items catching on the dress, but that's typical with lace. I wore turquoise shoes and accessories and loved the combination. I'm not one to wear the same dress twice, so this was a fun and perfect choice.
