I liked this dress; I didn't love it. Most other dresses I've rented have been from Badgley Mischka and I've worn a 0, but I read reviews and ordered a 2 and 4, wore the 2 even though it was a teensy bit tight. I think it looked nice enough(neglected to get a good picture of the dress, whoops!), and felt appropriate for a family daytime wedding. The weird thing, which I didn't realize until I was re-packing both dresses, was that the 2 and 4 were quite different from one another in color. The 2 was somewhat faded, almost a violet compared to the 4. Oh well.

I rented this dress for a military function and I loved wearing this dress! Probably my favorite thing was wearing a normal bra for once, instead of tugging on a strapless bra all night, especially since I recently had a baby and my strapless bras do not fit right now! Also, I liked that with this neckline I didn't need to wear a necklace. I think the gorgeous color allows you to pull off a sequined dress without looking too flashy. The sequins do make the dress a bit heavy and it does have a tiny bit of a train, but I was still able to dance in it. I am about 5'4" and this dress was just above the ground in front and dragging a little in the back with 3" heels. The sequins did not scratch my arms. Loved this style and it fit like a glove. Would definitely recommend.

This dress was okay for me. I’ve rented some other Badgley Mischka dresses that I’ve loved, and I loved how this looked on the hanger, but it does not do much to flatter/help your chest if you are smaller-busted like me. It is fitted in a slimming way through the waist and hips, so I liked that. My particular copy of this dress perhaps needs to be retired, because the wires structuring the bodice were poking through the top of the dress, irritating my skin a bit. If you’re debating about which length to go with, I’m about 5’4” and ordered the 0P and 0R and felt I either one could’ve worked depending on the shoes and activities. I think I ended up wearing the 0R with ~3” heels.

I rented this dress to wear as my getaway dress for my wedding but chose not to wear it but returned it for a refund instead. It just didn’t fit quite right on me: I’m only 5’4” but the skirt was so pleated and full that it was too uncomfortably short for moving around in. Also the straps seemed thicker than in the photo and the pleating on the bust was fluffed out and mis-ironed so that I couldn’t get it to lie flat.

Rented this dress for a friend’s garden wedding and loved it! It is a very pretty yellow color. It is quite tight-fitting but stretchy so I wore a size up. I was a little worried about the hem being too long as that often happens with me and short dresses, but it hit just above the knee.
