This was perfect for our Christian school formal gala...sassy but classy! It has just enough stretch for a comfortable fit. Material is thinner than anticipated but that wasn't a problem. Beautiful material, got many compliments! Was able to wear a convertible bra with the strap on the side with the sleeve. I can wear between a 4 and 6 and the small was perfect.

I ultimately didn't wear this to emcee our Christian school gala (too sexy), but I will definitely rent it again for the next appropriate event! It's very comfortable and flattering...you'll feel like a million bucks!

This is a go-to brand for me as it always hugs and always has the right amount of stretch! It's thickly lined so not uncomfortable at all with the sequins. Got my first compliment in the parking lot walking in to the event! I can fluctuate between a size 4 or 6 and this time opted for the 6 as it had more room in my chest. Gorgeous gown! Went with the regular length and it was perfect. I'm 5'7" and wore 3" heels. Strapless bra.

I'm not exaggerating when I say I was complimented no less than 10 times in the first 5 minutes I arrived at the event! The material is amazing...this looks and feels like a high end designer dress (because it is!) There isn't a ton of stretch so I went with the 4R. Fit like a glove. Flatters in the right places and downplays the mid-section! This designer is always a win for me! Strapless bra...no spanx needed because of the thickness of the material. At 5'7 the regular was perfect in heels.

Badgley Mischka is always a good fit for me and true to size. There is some stretch to the fabric (it's like a scuba material) and you can easily dance! I could have worn either size but went with the 2 because it hugged the hips a little more. Lots of compliments all night!

I wore this to emcee a gala for the Miss Kentucky Organization and got many compliments! Even in a sea of pageant gowns, it worked well with fancy jewelry and gold strap heels. I wasn't entirely sure how formal the event would be, so I chose this because it could work either way. This dress would be appropriate for so many different types of events. The only real difference in the 40 and 42 was a little sagging under my chest, which is why I wore the 40. Honestly the 42 was more comfortable in the midsection and if I did it again, I'd wear the 42. The material is a thick scuba-like stretchy material, so I didn't wear shape wear! It did ride up a bit when I got up from sitting and walked a lot, which probably wouldn't have been as bad in the 42. I would probably buy this if it ends up in the clearance sale for sure!

The style and print of this dress is amazing and I was devastated I couldn't pull it it off! I was swimming in the chest ( wayyyy too big) and couldn't zip up the side of the dress. The waist was really snug. I could have made it work if the top wasn't so baggy on me. I'm a 32 D and typically don't have a huge problem filling a dress out enough. There is NO stretch or give to the thick fabric. It is gorgeous though!

I wanted to love this dress! It looked great from the front, but the side view I had zero chest. I'm a 32 D for reference. I had a little extra room in the mid-section too. Bummed because it's a gorgeous style!

This would have been perfect, but the small was just too snug to be comfortable. A medium would have been perfect, but that wasn't available at the time. Will definitely reserve the medium next time! Gorgeous flattering fit...stretchy and thick to smooth out problem areas. I'm normally between a small and medium or 4-6. Go with the medium if you are similar!

This was a pretty dress, but I chose not to wear it as the material looks like a sweater dress. This would be appropriate for a day night or work party but not a formal gala in my opinion.
