Loved this dress!! Great color and fit.
This was perfect for a summer outdoor wedding. The color is a beautiful watermelon/coral and the material is heavy enough to have structure but still breathable. I wore spanx underneath to give it a more streamlined look (and avoid a belly button indent) but it fit true to size. I preferred the more fitted look of the size 14 - the size 16 was wider in the hips and looked baggy. I have a bigger bust and the straps were the perfect length. Overall, completely loved this dress.

Coral Ruffle Cold Shoulder Dress
Badgley Mischka
Size Worn: 14
Usual Size: 14

Big difference between regular and plus sizes!
I rented this as a backup dress and didn't end up needing it. But I wanted to post a review since this is such a gorgeous dress. I had ordered a 12R (my regular size) in the past and it was too tight, so I went for a 14WR this time to give myself some wiggle room. Well, it ended up being HUGE and I was swimming in it. Plus, the dress has a little bit of a train and was quite heavy. So if you are in between regular and plus sizes like I sometimes am, I would recommend going with the 14R instead of 14WR in this dress.

Gorgeous, comfortable dress
I wore this dress for a musical performance, and it was a hit. I got a ton of compliments and it looked beautiful onstage reflecting the lights. It fits true to size - I got a size up for backup but the 12 fit me perfectly. It has some stretch, too, so I was able to wear a mic pack underneath with no discomfort. The slit isn't too high but definitely adds glamour. You can wear a regular bra and the cleavage is amazing! Plus no underarm chafing from the sequins. You'll need help zipping it since sequins + invisible zipper = hard to yank up.

Ombre Astor Gown

Gorgeous dress!
I ordered this as my backup dress. I had wanted to wear the Carmen Marc Valvo Golden Leaf gown but the one I was sent was damaged. But this dress was equally lovely! The back is really gorgeous - I recommend an updo to show it off. It has a built-in bustier top but I also wore a strapless Spanx-like slip for extra support and smoothness. It fits true to size, but size up if you have a bigger bust because the bustier was tight. The lining showed a bit in the front but it wasn't that noticeable. Also, it runs pretty short - it only hit my ankles without shoes on so make sure you have a pedicure!

Beautiful dress!!
This dress is so feminine and pretty. The fabric is soft and comfortable and the print is gorgeous. It is low cut but I could still wear a regular bra and my cleavage was excellent! You could hike up the straps a little to make it less low. I wanted to keep this! Hope it's one of the ones that gets sold later!

So many compliments! I felt like a bombshell!
This dress is so beautiful on. The fabric is heavy enough to resist wrinkling and the cut is super flattering. I couldn't wear a bra but the boning held up great! So many people stopped me to tell me how gorgeous the dress was.

Very cute, but tight in the arms.
This was so cute, but I couldn't wear it because the arms are very tight and the fabric is thick with little stretch. Also, I was sweltering just wearing it for a few minutes while I tried it on. I went up a size in anticipation of the arm issue, and the rest fit great, but be aware that you may be a little constricted!

SO FUN
This is really really cute. I normally wear a 10 but I have a large bust and I couldn't get my boobs into the cups of the 10, but the 12 worked fine and didn't look too big everywhere else. Fabric is stretchy and comfortable, plus POCKETS!

Beautiful! Super flattering!
This dress was gorgeous. The only problem was that the beading was coming off in a couple areas and I had to sew it down to make sure none of the beads got lost. You can wear a normal bra and it's super flattering and comfortable. Forgiving in the belly area if you worry about that!
