What a phenomenal dress! Fit beautifully, even with a 26-week baby bump!!!
This is a fantastic dress, and one that I will try to eventually buy. I am 5'9" and currently 26-weeks pregnant, so I sized up to a L (I usually wear a 4-6 in dresses), which flattered in every way imaginable! Beautiful and comfortable, especially as a non-maternity outfit.

Not my favorite, but worked well for the occassion.
The dress fit well for my hourglass figure. However, finding "undergarments" was difficult given the shape of the dress. Without being too crude, the fabric is thin enough on top that you will want something in case it gets chilly... plan to have some logistical issues finding a bra/pasty/etc that works with the dress shape.

Not a fan unfortunately.
Based on my figure, I suggest that this dress is meant for someone without natural curves. The hip area fit well, but the waist was gigantic.

I am 5'9" and with heels this would have been too short for my personal preference.
I usually wear a 6, but could have gotten away with the 4. The 6 would have had to have been pinned around my waist and chest, even though I'm a 34DD.

Lovely style, but fit was a bit off.
I have a long torso with an hourglass body shape and this dress did not fit my waist or bust (34D) well. There was tons of extra fabric in the small of my back, which is likely due to how long my torso is. Also, in order to fit my hips, the bust was a bit large, even for my 34D.

Wore this as a skirt rather than a dress, and it worked perfectly!
I have a small waist for my size (5'9, 145 lbs) so the 42 fit well as a high waisted skirt. Would highly recommend.

Didn't care for the fit of the dress.
The fit would be best for someone who has smaller hips and a shorter torso.

Stunning on!
extremely curve-hugging. I am a solid 6 on the bottom and the M fit very, very tight on my lower half. The tightness wasn't unappealing, but it amped up the sex-appeal of the dress for sure.

Stunning color and fit
The dress was made for my body type. I am curvy but have a smaller waist. This dress fit like a glove. I could have used another 1/2 inch on the length, but I had 4+ inch heels and I am 5'9". The top was a little snug but it fit just fine and was perfectly comfortable. Loved loved loved this dress. PS- all Badgley dresses have a similar fit and flatter my body shape.

Not for long torsos...
What a shame, this dress is beautiful! However, at 5'9" I have a very long torso which the dress was clearly not made for. The curvature of the dress is more suited to a shorter torso. Even if it did fit, I would have been better with the Long. The regular was not nearly as long as I would have liked.

Tight!
This dress is a bit of an odd fit up top. It was skin tight, which wasn't flattering on my larger chest.

Great dress! not too short or too tight
The dress runs on the comfortably large side. I normally wear a 6-8 and this 6 fit fine with some wiggle room. The dress shape highlights the midsection, and is too tight for spanx. Beware. Arms are also tight.

Difficult fit; slightly snug in the tush.
Not my favorite fit, which is surprising given the designer. The hem and lining did not lay smoothly and curled up to a point that it was noticeable. The drapping at the top is more loose than depicted in the picture. Pretty dress, but unfortunately the fit wasn't flattering on my frame.

Beautiful color!
Dress runs a bit large, especially for how tight it appears in the image. The sleeves, however, are more true to size. Feel nicely on all my curves. Definitely order a size down than what you would normally wear.

What a fantastic dress! I am 5'9", usually sport 4" heels and this couldn't have been better!
Amazing fit, even for my larger-than-average chest. Beautiful color, especially on blondes!

SHORT.
Beautiful dress, but the proportions were wrong considering I am 5'9" and usually wear a size 6. The larger size was a tad bit longer but too big.

Sassy fit
Beautiful color, though not as luxurious looking as I would have liked. Didn't seem suitable for a formal affair, possibly because of the snug fit. Very flattering though and can adjust the length to taste.

Dramatic color and elegant, yet sexy, fit.
This dress was absolutely beautiful on, much less matronly than I had originally thought. The cut of the dress is extremely flattering and the color is beautiful for blondes. The back has a slit and is sheer so beware of your bra choice. The bottom is a little on the tight side, so I would suggest going larger rather than smaller, even though the top is bloussant-y.

I'm 5'9" and this dress barely grazed my ankles. Ran a little snug as well. I would certainly avoid if you are on the taller side.

FANTASTIC purchase. Fit great on my hourglass frame.
Typically wear a 6 or 8 due to my tush. This was an extremely flattering fit. Borderline short, but I am 5'9".

Not my fave.
A little less spectacular than I had wanted it to be. Would be better for a daytime event. Fit wasn't great either, might be better for someone a little less "curvy."

Stunning for hourglass shapes!!!
Absolutely beautiful dress!! The compliments were endless. However, there is NO give in the fabric. What you see is what you get. The rouching was very flattering but the dress did not stretch in any way, shape, or form. Someone similar in size might be able to do the Medium, but lenght is an issue for me- the high hem in the front necessitated a large and it worked perfectly!

Pretty basic- don't think it is the best look for an hourglass shape.
The detailing was nice, but it didn't seem like a show-stopper. I would save this for a casual event.
