Perfect for wedding in Mexico!
This dress was not something I’d normally wear, but I’m so glad I decided to try it. The color was so fun, I loved the fit, easy to dance and move around in—just an all around great wedding attendee dress, especially in Mexico!

Be careful if you’re full chested—they were out to play! ;) But I felt beautiful and thought the dress was very flattering. Comfortable and easy to move around in!

Such a fun and flirty spring dress!
I wore this dress to a Kentucky Derby party and loved it! It fit very well, true to size. I did wear Spanx but only because I felt more comfortable; I don't know that they were needed. It was a light enough fabric to wear outside and not get too hot. I would definitely recommend for a springtime event!

Stunning color!
Beautiful dress! The color was very unique and stood out in a sea of navy and black. Very form fitting but flattering. Needed Spanx just to smooth everything out. Loved this dress and would wear it again!

This is the second time I've worn this dress, and I liked it even better this time around!
The color, style, and fit of this dress is so unique and flattering. I got compliment after compliment at the event, and I just loved everything about it. I will say to definitely get the Long if you're tall; I wore 4" heels and the dress was a little short for my liking. It also is fairly difficult to zip by yourself. But 100% would rent it for a third time!!

Favorite dress EVER!!!!!
I don't know where to begin! I absolutely LOVED this dress. Everything about it! The colors were beautiful, it fit like a glove, and the fabric was very sturdy. I got SO many compliments while wearing this dress! I probably could've worn a 10, but the 12 fit fine. No special undergarments required, and it was incredibly comfortable. If I have the opportunity to buy this dress, I plan to. I loved it that much! I needed some help with the zipper, but that was no big deal. Wonderful rental!!

Perfect bachelorette party dress!
Wore this for a friend's bachelorette party in Vegas and it couldn't have been more perfect for that occasion! It was comfortable, albeit a bit heavy. The only real con I have is that it was impossible to get it zipped without assistance. Other than that, I loved it. Very flattering, especially on a curvy figure like mine!

Lovely dress, way too tight
This was a gorgeous dress, and I honestly loved the way it looked on me. It was just WAY too tight. Of course my husband loved it, but I ended up not wearing it because I would've been uncomfortable and self conscious in it. I think I'm a bit too curvy for this dress!

Absolutely STUNNING dress! Hands down one of my FAVORITES!
If I could wear this dress over and over again, I'd do it. I absolutely LOVED it!! I say that about most Badgley Mischka dresses I've worn, but I think this one might take the cake. It fit like a glove and I felt great in it all night long. I usually wear a size 10, but ordered the 12 and 14 since the 10 was out of stock, and the 12 fit great. I wore Spanx underneath, but didn't HAVE to. I just chose to for comfort and in case I drank too much champagne and my belly decided to make an appearance. The material of this dress was wonderful; quite stretchy! I received compliment after compliment all night long, and the COLOR was just beautiful. If I have the opportunity, I'm renting this dress again!

LOVED THIS DRESS!
I got SO many compliments wearing this dress. It was comfortable and flattering, and the color was just beautiful. The ONLY problem I had was that my bra straps kept sneaking out. I wish I owned this dress!!

STUN-NING
I absolutely LOVED this dress! I wasn't sure how it would look on me since I'm pretty curvy, but it was perfect. The area around the bust gaped a bit, but not enough for anyone to notice. It was super comfortable (no Spanx required either!) and I got so so many compliments. I would definitely rent this dress again!

Fun and flirty!
I wore this dress to the Arkansas Derby in April. It was the perfect dress for this event, except it was a little tight in my bust. Other than that, I though it fit pretty well. There were a couple stains on it when I received it, and I was disappointed by that, but it didn't stop me from wearing it. They weren't super noticeable.

Felt like a million dollars in this dress!
I wore this dress on my bachelorette party in New Orleans in January and it was PERFECT with tights and booties. It was a little short, but the tights made it bearable. I loved the way it fit, and the sequins were such a fun color. I'd love a chance to wear it again!

Beautiful dress!
I ended up not wearing this dress because it was entirely too short. I read the reviews and even went a couple sizes up to make sure it would fit, but it didn't. It was even a little snug, too. I might have been able to wear it with tights, but I'm not quite confident enough for a dress this short. I'd pass on this dress if you're over about 5'3". Just not made for us tall girls!

My friend wore this and looked FAB!
I ordered this dress as a backup dress for a bachelorette party, and my friend ended up wearing it and looked AMAZING! It was very flattering and was a great length. The beads were pretty heavy, but she didn't mind.

I felt like a million dollars!
I was so wary of this dress, but when I put it on I fell in love with it! I was very confident wearing this dress. It was the perfect length and fit for my body type. I'm pretty curvy and don't show off a lot, but I would definitely wear this dress again!

Loved this dress and the color!
I got so many compliments on this dress. One person even told me it was her favorite dress at the event! It was a little long, hit me right at my knees, but with the right heels, it was great. Very comfortable and easy to dance in! A little more silver in person than in the picture but still loved it!

Loved. This. Dress!!!
This dress is even more beautiful in person than it is in the pictures. I wish I could've kept it. I got so many compliments and felt great in it. Perfect length and sizing was accurate. A little snug in my chest but worked out fine with my everyday bra. Would rent it again!!

Very flattering!
I loved the length and cut of this dress. However, while it fit my hips pretty well, it gaped quite a bit on my left side and I was worried I might pop out of it! Also, the black straps used to hang the dress kept coming out. Other than that, I loved it!

Loved this dress so much!! It fit perfectly, even in my hips that are a bit larger than the rest of me. It was comfortable and very easy to walk and dance in. I wore 4" heels so the long was perfect. I wish I could wear it again!

Overall great experience! Everything was as expected & I loved having reviews to go by
A little snug around my hips, but with some Spanx I was good to go! The dress was pretty heavy, but it was worth it. I wore 4" heels which is why I wore a Long and it was the perfect length. The dress fit me very well in my bust and my arms, too.
