I loved loved loved this dress. It was modest yet gorgeous. I wore this to an event at National Cathedral (a church) in DC and it was perfect. 

BUT it was way too long. I’m 5’4 and work 3.5inch heels and it was still dragging. I took some double sided tape and DIY a hem around the bottom which worked perfectly! 

I loved this dress for a wedding. Super comfortable and flattering. I felt confident throughout the whole night. The material has a stretch to it. Received many compliments. 

On the hanger it looks very underwhelming. When you put it on looks excellent and emphasizes all the right places. 

Really loved this dress!! I actually ordered another dress that wasn't returned in time and Rent the Runway sent me this as a replacement.  It was a bit tight in the chest and I would recommend sizing up if you are busty.  But besides that it was gorgeous!  Loved the slit in the back!!!

This was a comfortable dress, though the size 6 that I wanted never made it (didn't pass quality control, and the alternate dress RTR offered to send didn't make it on time), so I had to go with my back up size 8. It fit a little loose on the chest and hips, but was still wearable for the event. I had debated going with the long length based on other reviews, but I was happy with the regular length. Strapless bra was necessary. 

Beautiful black dress, simple and classic for almost any event. Badgley Mischka tends to run large so I always order a smaller backup if available. Normal size is 4 (5’3”/125lbs) but there was only a 4L available so I also rented the 2R. The 4L was long and was a bit looser than the 2R, which is what I ended up wearing. As you can see in the pic, the 2R was still long on me, even though I was in 4.5” heels, however fit better than my normal size. The dress has some give and is pretty comfortable. I did not need to wear a bra. Might buy this dress just to have as a wardrobe staple!

This was a great fit. The sleeves have small shoulder pads, but just enough to make it pop. Overall a great dress.

I couldn’t really wear a bra…so I didn’t and it was fine which is shocking bc I’m very conservative but I felt confident and it looked really structured. 

I regret not taking a better picture. This was the best one I had. Fit my 6 foot frame perfectly and it was super comfortable. My normal size 14 fit very well. It was a little more matronly than I was hoping for but ended up just looking so classy once it was all dressed up I got lots of compliments.

Perfect if you are looking for a safe, conservative black tie option that will not stand out. Slightly large in the waist 

I’m normally either a 0 or 2 (mostly 2) and I got the 0 — it fit but the sleeves were a bit loose and long.

Absolutely loved this dress. Got so many compliments. I have an athletic build with bigger hips/ smaller boobs, and this dress was so flattering. The puff sleeves were perfect. I didn’t need to wear a bra (although I could have) and wore Spanx to smooth everything out. Highly recommend the Tall/ Long, otherwise it would’ve been too short (I’m 5’10” and work 2.5” block heels). 

Beautiful dress so elegant and also so fitting would recommend to anyone felt so comfortable in it.

Rented for a black tie wedding but ended up wearing something else instead. Was a bit too big (especially in the sleeves) while also being form fitting (which I didn’t want — don’t need a dress hugging my stomach as the night progresses). I definitely felt chic, classy, and formal, so it was a good backup to have. 

I wore this dress to a black-tie wedding. It was so beautiful and classy, with the perfect neckline—so flattering without it being too revealing! I’m 5’3 but did the L in length to be able to wear 4 inch heels and it was perfect. I had no complaints and received many compliments. Wooo! 

This dress was a DREAMMM!!! Amazing fabric, super flattering, and fit the occasion perfectly. Really loved the square neck line. I'd say this is true to size. I'm 5'6" so the regular length hit me around the ankle, but I actually loved that because it highlighted my shoes. I will definitely rent this dress again if I have another formal event to go to! 

Reviewing again because I wanted to include a photo of the back. Slit down the middle adds some spice and it’s v form fitting. Show off that booty! 

I was 33 weeks pregnant and the dress had a good amount of stretch to it, which was perfect. It was a little bit big in the arms, but that’s because I sized up to fit my belly. It is a stunning dress and very very classy. 

I'm typically a size 2 but I sized down to 0 for this. Overall fit was great, slightly big on the waist but not too big that it was noticeable. Thick material, so I wouldn't where it somewhere that will be hot.
