Small bust, boxy cut
I sized up for my bust and it turned out to be a good decision. However the dress is not really flattering. It is cut like a box and the fabric looks like grandma's house in person.

Great conservative dress
Nice cut and well made. The bust was generous enough that I should have ordered a 6 (instead of ordering one size up).

Small even for Tory Burch
Should have gone 2 sizes up for this one. Bust is super tight. Also the waistband is not flattering.

Heavy material but great cut
Heavier material makes it less than ideal for summer. However the cut and flexibility of the tie system make this dress a winner. Also it is nursing friendly.

Boxy but fun
The cut was boxy. I should have ordered the 6 equivalent even with my large bust. The belt is awkward and does not tie beautifully. It was just an okay dress. Btw the cut out at the top of the back might make this a little too much for some offices.

Small bust!!!
Top was so small that even after sizing up I couldn't move freely (or risk a wardrobe malfunction). This dress was definitely not designed for women with busts. The dress fell just above the ankles even though I am tall. It needs a nice pair of pumps to make it a glamorous look. However it may be tricky for shorter ladies to wear because it is so long.

Double adjustable waist band
These trousers are certainly funky. They offer two ties to adjust the waist though which is great for keeping them in just the right spot.

Looser cut than others by this designer
The bust was still smaller proportionally but I should have ordered only one size up not 2--like with other dresses by this designer. The fabric is heavy though. It's nursing friendly but not summer friendly.

Flat tummy, small bottom, and a thong
These trousers are fun but the cut requires a few key elements (which I struggle with): a flat tummy, a small bottom/hips, and a thong (so that the back won't look funny).

Heavy seersucker shirt with fun flourishes
Heavy material. Flattering cut. Just barely long enough for my taste (because the side splits go up to my mid thighs). Order a size up like I did if you have a large bust like me.

Poorly cut
I sized up to fit my bust, so the dress sort of covered my bust. However I had gapping exposure on the sides and the neckline was too aggressive for my taste. Beautiful print and nice midi length though!

I felt like a picnic table
I liked the midi length. It was snug in the bust so I was glad that I sized up. The print was not chic though. I felt like a picnic table.

Cute print, blah cut
The print was cute but the dress only hit 3-4 inches above my knees. The cut was also very blah. Nothing special.

Warm but fun
Very heavy fabric. True to size. Do not size up unless you super hippy. I needed to go down to the 6, my usual size.

Beautiful and fun
Don't size up unless you are really hippy. The have a slight stretch to hold your waist which is good. I needed to go down to the 6, my usual size.

Even my husband liked it!
Nice nursing friendly dress with beautiful flouncy flourishes. Hit me just above the knees. Glad I listened and sized up twice. The bust fit just right.

Staticky but nice print
The static cling made this silky dress less than fun to wear. However, the print and length were nice. The dress also has enough buttons for comfortable nursing. P.S. Sizing up for my large bust turned out to be a good idea--especially with the cling factor.

Sheer and frumpy
All of the flowers are sheer! So I wore a black bra but it was not modest enough for my taste. The hemline was also short in the back so bending down was tricky. The sleeves were awkwardly about an inch or two short. However they look even more awkward pushed up to make big poofy sleeves. Cut with a very small bust even though a preemptively sized up (because the sleeves are part of the chest piece). Well made though and the full snap front is super nursing friendly.

Baggy but cozy
I should have ordered a small. The waist band was too big to sit high waisted and cute. However the fabric was super cozy and I liked the print.

Not a shirt dress!
Cute pattern and cut, but it doesn't have a button down front so it is not really a shirt dress. The lack of buttons meant that it was not nursing friendly, so I did not wear it.

Slightly sheer but cool for a summer day
Slightly sheer (so don't wear bright colored undergarments!) and a tad short for the long legged (hit about 2-3 inches above my knees in the front). Fun for a warm casual day with sandals or flats. Just enough buttons to be nursing friendly. However it is too short for someone tall to wear to the office comfortably.

Fun shirt dress
Cute mixed fabric dress. A little short (about 2-3 inches above my knees) to wear regularly, but cute and well crafted nonetheless.

Loved the print, not the cut
Cut was very bland and a tad snug in the bust. It was also not nursing friendly--I needed one more button to comfortably nurse.

Pretty classic
Classic cut with a built in belt (so you cannot swap it out). I liked how it was fully lined. I layered it with a sweater for a spring time church look. For an oversized bust though definitely size up.
Blue Stripe Day Dress
Badgley Mischka
Size Worn: 8
Usual Size: 6
Height: 5' 9"

Bust: 32H
Beautiful flourishes but nothing special
Small bust so I am glad I sized up. The dress has a lot of pretty details but the cut is rather lackluster. Plus the fabric is a little "grandma chic" and the sleeves are really inconvenient (as everyone else says) lol

Size Worn: 44R

Beautiful print, unimpressive cut
Sleeves were awkwardly short for my long arms, but the dress hit about an inch above the knee on my long legs (so I was pretty tickled). Overall the cut was pretty blah though. I sized up for my larger bust (as I do with all Tory dresses).

Dopey and faded
Boxy and faded. I added a belt to jazz it up. But nothing much to see here.

Printed everyday fun
Nice every day swing dress. I sized up just in case. It hit just above the knee; sleeves were long enough; and I had space for my bust. Life is good.

Tropical fishing dress
Looseish fit but not huge. Thick stiff material and the dress' cut made it feel like a long fishing shirt. My dress was also quite faded.

Long and easy
True to size for an oversized shirt dress. Mine smelled a little like cooked fish, but overall it was long enough (knee length) even with long legs and it accommodated my oversized bust. Perfect for running errands and hitting the park with the kiddos.

Snug but cute
Snug in the bust for my 32H and snug in the sleeves (and barely long enough) for my athletic arms. If you are built athletic or busty, I would size up. I should have got an 8 not a 6. Great length though. It hit just above the knees on my long legs.

Odd dress
Pattern was not nearly as cute in person. Plus it ran smaller than my other Saloni rentals. I did not wear it because it was tight in the bust and short.

Beautiful print
Slim sleeves for my mama muscles but the length was nice (just above knee length even with long legs). Nice nursing friendly dress.

Bright and fun
Bright print and nice cut make this dress a winner. It is cut larger than other saloni dresses but for the right bust fit, I still sized up.

Easy winter dress
Nursing friendly and forgiving of the post baby lumps. Perfect knee length even though I have super long legs. However it does run large. I probably could have worn a small.

Small bust but great dress
Small bust made sizing up a must. Second time I rented it though and it is still a great everyday dress!

Everyone LOVED this dress and told me I loved gorgeous in it.
This is the perfect dress for hourglass/pear-shaped people. It is simple, but elegant; tailored, yet comfortable (to wear for 12 hours); and sexy, but subtle (enough to wear in the presence of your in-laws). Order based on your bust/upper body size and have a ball wearing it!
