Gorgeous and comfortable!
Wore this for my wedding at city hall. Loved it! Got tons of compliments. Shows off curves well, and the draped back gives it an elegant touch. Sparkles in the sun like a disco ball. Definitely recommend.

small across the chest
As so many others have noted, it really gapes across the bust. I wore a cami and left it unbuttoned a few buttons and it was fine. Very cute other than the fit issue.

beautiful fabric
With a cami underneath, this was ok for work. I love the ombre color scheme and my boyfriend loved the pattern. I might go down a size next time as it was a little big in the chest.

extremely comfy and cute jumpsuit
I loved this jumpsuit, though I would go down a size next time since it's not super fitted. It was so comfortable, like wearing pajamas to work, but stylish and cute. Got compliments on the pattern.

fun, colorful dress that stands out
I wore this to work and people loved it. The color-blocking and the dots really make it pop! It has pockets and it's very comfortable. Would buy this one if it were a bit less expensive.

gorgeous flowy kimono-style wrap dress
I absolutely loved this dress. I wore it to a work-related party and got lots of compliments--everyone loved how the fabric flowed when I walked, and the color contrast is great. Highly recommend if you're looking for a comfortable option for a dressier event.

beautiful dress will get you lots of compliments
I've worn this to several events now--a date night, a slightly formal dinner, and a baby shower. The shoulders tie, so you can adjust how it fits. The embroidery is really nice, I got so many compliments every time I wore it. Highly recommend, and I'm considering buying it.

extra bright, flattering fit
Very bright yellow; I got lots of compliments about how bold it was. The waist is very flattering. Great dress for summer. I wore it to work, but it would be great for a date or drinks with friends, too. I sized up, but it runs true to size and I probably could have worn a size smaller.

bright comfy dress
I LOVED this dress. The color is fabulous, a brighter green than it might appear in the pictures online. I got tons of compliments on the dress. It wrinkles a little because it's linen, but not too bad. Highly recommend, I've worn it to work and now I'm taking it on vacation to New Orleans.

beautiful dress for work or date
I LOVED this dress. I went up a size because Badgley Mischka can run small, and I'm glad I did. I added a half-cami so I could wear it to work, and it was very flattering. Recommend to rent it. I might buy this one.

lovely dress, flows nicely
I added a half-camisole so it would be appropriate for work since it was pretty low cut. For a wrap dress, it closes very securely, I never worried about the skirt flying open. Would be great for a night out.

great pattern and flattering shape
I wore this to work several times. I could possibly have gone down a size. The pattern of flowers is very cute, and the gathering makes it more interesting than a typical shirtdress.

Nice flowy dress for a date night
I wore this for a date night, and then with a camisole to work (definitely need a camisole to make it work-appropriate). The dress flows really nicely when you walk and the faux-wrap detail is flattering.

Just not a good fit for me
Very cute shirt, but I had to add a safety pin because the snap comes undone constantly, and there's nothing else except the belt keeping the shirt closed. Wasn't super flattering on me, but I think if I went up a size it would be too big.

Adorable print, fun for work or a date
I wore this for a special event at work. Absolutely love the fun monkey print. I usually wear a 10 but other reviews said it runs small so I got a 12, and I'm glad I did--I think a 10 would have been just a tad too tight. I'd go up a size from what you normally get.

Great dress for vacation or work
The top was a bit big on me, but I don't think I'd recommend going down a size because of it. Flattering style, people at work complimented the dress. I had to wear a half-cami under it to be appropriate for my workplace, but otherwise it was great and very comfortable.

Cute spring dress for work
Got compliments on this dress at work. Has a flattering wrap style, and the color contrasts are striking. Might be a little low cut for some workplaces, but it was ok for mine. Top was slightly big on me, nothing too bad and I wouldn't go down a size because of it.

I ordered a 10, which has worked for my other RTR dresses, but this was too small so I couldn't wear it. I'd recommend sizing up.

Super cute print dress is great for the office
I liked this dress for work. It's a slightly heavier fabric than a lot of spring/summer dresses. The print is cute and the fit is flattering. The belt is extra long, though--I wasn't sure what to do with all the extra length after I buckled it, but eventually tucked it through the first loop and let the tail hang and it was ok. Other than that, loved the dress.

Lovely dress but it runs small
I didn't wear this one because it was right on the edge of being too tight. I'd recommend going up a size to be safe, it runs a bit small. Nice details and a great dress otherwise.

Lovely wrap dress works for the office or a date.
I wore this to work and on a date, and it worked for both. I did have to wear a half-camisole underneath for it to be appropriate for work because of the low cut in the front. Love the color and the way the skirt hangs and swirls when I walk.

Gorgeous dress, lots of compliments
I loved this dress. It's brighter than it looks in the pics, and multiple people mentioned how much they liked it. The skirt flows nicely when you walk. I wore it with sandals to work and with slight heels for a date and it was great for both.

Very comfortable--even has pockets!--and cute pattern. The embroidered bottom tier sets it apart from a standard shirtdress. I wore it twice, once to work and once to a not-too-fancy garden party, and got compliments on it.

This is a beautiful, striking dress. Got lots of compliments. The front slit is VERY high for tall people, though, so be warned, especially for outdoor events with a breeze! Otherwise, great dress for a cocktail party.
