Comfortable and cute!
I found the collar a bit scratchy, but otherwise it was a cute, mildly flirty yet modest, and comfortable dress.

Cute, but tight if you're busty
I loved the look, but it was tight in the bust and I had to keep tugging it down. It's a great look to dress up jeans.

loved it
I wished I could keep it. Professional enough for day, just enough glitz to transition to evening.

Beautiful, but a big large for my tastes.
These were pretty and went perfectly with a lavender lace-overlay dress. My only comment is that they're fairly large, and since I have a small face they were a touch bigger than I'd usually wear. For anyone who regularly wears large-ish earrings, I'd imagine they'd be perfect, though.

Very pretty! Caught a lot of attention.
I wore this with a dark-blue work dress that was rather plain in style and needed a little extra sparkle. Even though I used it for work, it could also go well with a cocktail or party dress. The crystals are a range of different colors - opal, pale pink, topaz. That makes it easy to pair with many colors - I think it would look great with blue, lavender, purple, pink, etc.

Nice look for work!
I wore this for a day of professional events and meetings. I found it to be well-made, comfortable and a figure-flattering cut, without looking too revealing. Others have mentioned that the fabric is kind of heavy - and that's true, but I didn't find it particularly hot. The look is a bit plain without accessories. I'd definitely recommend pairing it with a statement necklace and/or bracelet.

Soooo pretty.
I loved this bracelet. Delicate, yet sparkly enough to make an impression. I have small wrists and it fit me perfectly. If you have larger wrists, this might be tight.

Comfortable *and* professional - win!
Loved wearing this for a day full of work-related events and meetings. It was very comfortable, great bold blue, a subtle print, and high quality (as always, with DVF). I loved the faux/demi-wrap style (there's a wrap top, but the skirt is all one piece) as it has the flexibility of a wrap but makes it less likely that a sudden breeze will accidentally reveal too much! I always size up one size with this designer, and the 10 fit well - but I think I could have even worn the 8. This particular style is a bit closer to running "true to size" than most DVF dresses. I would advise ordering your usual size and one size up for a backup.

Loved the color and print!
I love DVF wrap dresses. I own one and wish I could afford to own more! I was so glad that RTR started carrying them. This is a standard fit for DVF wraps, which means order one size up from your usual size. I needed to give it a light pressing, but it wasn't a big deal. It's definitely a spring/summer dress, given the bright pink and floral print. The fabric is light and comfortable. I wore it for a work event, but I think it would also be great for a daytime party.

Beautiful!
This dress is gorgeous. I loved every minute of wearing it and had so many compliments. The detail is amazing and high quality. Wore it with nude heels, and a sparkly gold bracelet and earrings. It all came together perfectly. Important to note: DVF dresses always run small, and this one is no different. Maybe even a bit smaller than usual. I usually order a 10 in DVF (one size up from my usual 8), but this time I ended up wearing the 12. The 10 fit, but the 12 gave me a little extra room in the bust, where I need it.

A bit tight in the waist, but I loved the fabric and pockets!
I ordered this skirt to pair with a black top I have (the bare midriff thing is not happening at my age). I usually wear a 6 or 8, so those were the two sizes I requested. When I tried them on, I felt little difference between the 6 and 8, and even the 8 was a touch tight around the waist. (And the waistband looked a bit stretched out by a previous wearer, so I'm guessing I wasn't the first to experience this.) That said, I had a lot of fun wearing this skirt. I loved the pockets, the whimsical toile print, and the built-in petticoat.

Beautiful dress, but if you're curvy, order for your bust size.
I usually wear a size 6 or 8, but I read the reviews about this running small and ordered a 10. Very glad I did! The 10 fit me perfectly around the bust. The waist and shoulders were a touch loose, but the dress still looked and felt great. The dress is so well-made - I loved that there's a bit of boning in the bodice to give a tapered waist, and the nude lining has a touch of shimmer. Very elegant, but not too formal for a daytime event. Great for a wedding or cocktail party. I wore it with nude wedges and delicate jewelry.

I adored this gown!
I have rented Badgley Mischka gowns several times now, and I've never regretted it. I did use a safety pin to secure the plunging neckline, but everything else about this was perfection! It was comfortable, fresh, and glam enough for an evening event without looking stiff. More than one person commented that it looks like a piece of art.

Sadly, not for me.
I've rented several times from RTR now and had great luck, but I guess I was bound to strike out sometime! Sadly, this was that time. A wrap dress usually works great for me, but this one just didn't. The dress arrived rather wrinkled from travel, and the hook-and-eye at the neck was broken. I was going to safety-pin it, but the dress still wasn't flattering and I decided to wear something from my own closet instead. Maybe it's my figure (petite yet curvy) or coloring (pale), or maybe I'm just too old for it (30s), but the pattern and big ruffles didn't look good on me at all. I felt clownish, and it went back unworn. This is not to say this dress doesn't and won't look good on lots of others! I'm just adding my review for balance, because the overwhelmingly positive reviews were what prompted me to try it. I have rented Kate Spade styles in the past that worked out great, but I think I'll stay away from anything ruffled or patterned in the future.
