Wanted to like... didn't wear. Too poofy?
I liked the front part and where it hit my waist, which was flattering. The back, though, felt too big. It poofed out and looked sloppy on me. Nice fabric and I liked the collar.

Not a Large, or not anymore
I own three L-sized jumpsuits from Rivet Utility and they are awesome. I could not get this one up over my thighs. Maybe it has shrunk? Maybe it's just because there is no give on this fabric. Just know that it's for slimmer builds... maybe size 6.

Refined comfy
Very comfortable, with an elevated design. It fit curves very well. Love that it has a full back for ladies needing real bras. It does not photograph well. I liked wearing it and will look out for other pieces from this designer.

Easy, pretty. Generous fit.
Bigger than I expected from an 8 in this brand. I wore it anyway, but it was very flow cut in front and back.

Pretty look (but polyester)
I have thicker arms, and it felt a little tight but didn't look tight. I wore it twice and really enjoyed it. It's 100% polyester, but does look like silk in photos.

Runs small
I'd normally wear a 6 or 8 in tops, but this Large was snug on me, primarily in the arms. I layered with a jacket to hide any weird pulling. It has a sporty feel.

Long in torso
I have several Rivet jumpsuits. This one was just a bit too long in the torso for me, so it would bunch up. Fit the booty and shoulders and other spots. Still loved it but not enough to purchase this time.

Huge, size down
Way too big in the waist and all over. I was afraid to get a smaller size. A friend told me that this brand may be better for the slim/straight ladies.

Bought them!
These were perfect on me - fitted in waist, snug on booty. The denim is lightweight, good for a sunny summer day out, and I look forward to wearing in the fall.

No stretch for curvy hips and thighs
These fit my stomach but were a bit snug on the booty. I wore them anyway with a tank top tucked in and a button-down shirt open on top. Pretty pattern. Felt a little lower quality than I expected.

Gorgeous, effortless
I wish every dress had this neckline and sleeve detail!!! So flattering. It was a little big on top for me, but it fit my hips and I could get low dancing at the wedding reception, so I probably rented the correct size. Lots of compliments. The fit is lovely - showed my shape without being tight and it allowed for dessert. :)

Easy chic
I bought this dress. I could wear it with sneakers and a hat to run around town, and I wore it to a wedding eve party (as a guest) with heels and gold jewelry. Only issue is that it feels like it's missing a top button, or it's supposed to be worn with a cami underneath. I did both. For the wedding event, I used fashion tape to close it.

Lots of material
I'm glad I read the reviews and got a 6. I liked it but it's a lot on me and I felt like it bulked me up. Loved the blue tone. The double breasted style was fun.

Warm, chic, a bit too boxy for me
I enjoyed wearing this once. Very warm, rich construction. It didn't do my hourglass any favors, but I kinda expected that.

Elevated cozy
I considered buying these, but the Large was a bit too big and I bet the Medium would have been just too tight on my booty. Great style, though, and great quality.

Fun, classic fashion with a twist
Definitely cropped, so be ready to pair each with high-waisted pants or skirt... or show off that tummy. Nice material. I got compliments wearing it.

Fine, made me feel bigger
Maybe I got too big of a size, but I felt like the style was a loose cut around the waist and it was not flattering on me. Pretty color, concept.

Pretty style, so/so execution.
Love the print, concept with the button-down shirt accents. In terms of quality, I was annoyed that the waist try was not double-sided with the floral material. It should have been and that tie would have looked more polished. This dress will work better on less-hippy ladies. I wore a body smoother to help suck in my hip/booty area.

Better fit for straight ladies
Good in my waist, but too tight in just and booty. Super cute design, nice material. I wish it fit my dimensions. If you have a straighter figure, try it!

Perfection. Classic glam.
Texas spring wedding. A little sexy without being overt. Elegant. So many compliments. I’m renting again for a photoshoot because I felt so confident in it. Badgley Mischka is a favorite designer, and this dress delivered on my high expectations.

Wore to a work cocktail/dinner gathering in LA. Really fun. Fit my hips and legs but too loose on waist. Gorgeous print and great length on me with small heels.

Sexy tough powerful vibe
Obsessed. Hard to return this one. It’s so rare to find a jumpsuit that fits me. Made for an curvy bottom half. I dressed it up for LA work meetings and I dressed it down for kid school drop-off.

Best for the thinner straight gals?
I saw reviews that it was tight in the waist and thought it would be perfect as I’m more of a pear/hourglass. No dice. Too big in chest - maybe ok to pin or wear a cami? Good in waist, nicely fitted. Tight in hips - can see it pulling. Cool concept but super wrinkly casual material.

Very comfortable, flowy. High quality details. If the sleeves weren't so big (I rolled-scrunched them up to my elbows), I'd consider buying.

Good for a defined booty and soft tummy?
This dress was strange. I tried to make it work. The back is structured and cool, but the front was huge and too low-cut, needed tape to close between boobs. A sash helped me bring more shape and not feel like I was drowning in it. The color is lovely - my husband enjoyed the pink and coworkers commented over Zoom - and the quality overall is great. Definitely size down and choose if you embrace a loose tummy fit.

Tricky sleeves
I liked the bold red and the asymmetrical neckline. The body fit was excellent on an hourglass shape and I would have worn it if the sleeves were better on me. This sleeve style emphasizes my chunkier upper arms; I should have caught that risk before choosing.

Pretty color; note the single button
Got compliments on the color. Good quality construction. The leather under the collar was a nice touch. I liked the coat but it was a little too big for me. I should have gotten the Med. And for this weight of coat and my climate (Chicago), more than one button would have been useful.
