Really didn't expect to like this as much as I did! Much better in person and when wearing!
Rented with Unlimited to try on for brother's wedding. Didn't wear but wanted to share fit. I really didn't expect this to look as great as it did! Figured the fabric and color would be very unforgiving to my shape/curves but it was magical! Did have shapewear on in photo and sized up but the fabric isn't too light or too heavy. It's just perfect and felt amazing. This dress pleasantly surprised me and I would probably wear it or another of same type from designer another time! Did wear a bra.

Didn't end up wearing but so gorgeous!
Tried on a bunch of dresses for my brother's wedding with RTR Unlimited so wanted to share fit details. Didn't wear bc I found a dress I liked better but these Badgley Mischka sequined dresses fit amazingly to my curvy body type. I've loved almost every one I've tried! Loved that this covered my upper arm scars. Didn't need bra with tighter fit. Normally a 14 or 16, but with these BM dresses, usually run a bit big so go with 14. Would also wear shape wear for smooth look.

Don't have pics at event but so sexy yet comfortable!
Wore this to my brother's rehearsal dinner. Obviously, we aren't a very conservative-dressing family but it was gorgeous. This was me trying on before event. Sadly, I don't think I got pics in the dress at the event. But it was so comfortable, yet sexy. The material can be described like a scuba dress but definitely holds you in. I did wear spanx though bc of belly and hips. Great length.

Can't believe I didn't get pics in this! So so beautiful and elegant! So many compliments!!
I wore this to a cousin's summer wedding in OH. One of my all-time favorites from RTR. Was a bit small in bust and bodice for me, but I made it work and didn't need bra and made for great cleavage! Wasn't too hot bc of material of sleeves, and I'm a sweaty person when drinking/dancing. A little long but just held up when walking/dancing. Higher heels would have helped but couldn't due to a bad foot. The embroidery on this is breathtaking and you won't regret renting!

So many compliments- amazing detail in person! Quite comfortable as well!
Dress fit great. A bit tight in the chest area on me (40DD/DDD) but with some help zipping, didn't need a bra and had great but not too much cleavage! Wore this to my cousin's fall wedding, 3 weeks post abdominal surgery! Was so comfortable, yet felt so elegant. The bodice, while doesn't show too well in dark pics, is just beautiful- with lace and other material. It's amazing in person. Also a nice and sexy, yet somewhat hidden and subtle, slit in skirt of dress. Rent for any special occasion!
Black Lace Scoop Neck Gown

Didn't end up wearing but very beautiful. Runs small in bodice, normal elsewhere.
I tried on 16L and 18L. Length was long for me, I'm 5'7" so sometimes can wear longs with heels, but no regulars available. 16 was too small in bodice, I have a large chest, couldn't even zip. 18 fit there but was a little large everywhere else. I was going to wear the 18L but found another dress I liked better on RTR. The dress is gorgeous. I was just worried, ultimately, that I would trip or it may fall in bodice while dancing. No bra needed though bc of boning if you get right fit.

Really beautiful but felt too Spring-y for Fall/Winter and little too long in length
This dress is really beautiful up close. The embroidery is fantastic. I tried it on for my cousin's end of Nov. wedding in Cleveland OH but ultimately went with another dress. The flowers and polka dots on sleeves just felt a bit too spring-y for fall/winter, even though the dress is black. liked the sleeves as I have surgical scars on my upper arms- adjustable so will fit anyone well. Ample cleavage, didn't need bra due to tightness in bust area. Length to my ankles, not tea, long for regular.

Perfect addition for a guest at a winter wedding! Obviously it's warm but did the trick over my dress for a wedding at the end of November in downtown Cleveland! Definitely felt very classy.

Wore for a night out in Cabo and a family wedding in Ohio. So much fun to wear!
Having a large bust, I tend to not go for off the shoulder dresses but the boning and structure and slight tightness in the bodice allowed me to go without a bra and feel totally supported and even have some cleavage. The high-low hem is very fun, especially when dancing or to show off cute wedges that go great with this dress. So much fun on vacation in Mexico but also when I visited Ohio for a spring family wedding. Compliments all around!
