I LOVED this dress! It wasn't too short, or too low cut. It fit perfectly, and I wish I could have kept it! I was able to wear it with a regular bra, which was perfect because I am a 30H. The flowers on the shoulder were a little soft from wear, but I think they still looked great. I received a lot of complements, and I really stood out in a sea of blue and black sparkly dresses (the theme was sparkle).

The 10 fit but I was more comfortable in the 12 as I knew I'd be dancing a lot. The dress is much more low cut than on the model but not inappropriate. Everything fit nicely without hugging too tight and I was able to wear a regular bra and spanx. Paired with fun dangly earrings and nude pumps. Not one complaint about this dress, loved it!!

Pro: beautiful ruby color
Con: flowers on shoulder are worn

I wore this for a mid October wedding and rocked it! The color was perfect. It stretched so is super comfy, plus you can wear a regular bra. It showed the girls off nicely too. lol. I got many compliments. Will rent again.

Rented this for my friend's bachelorette party. The dress was great! I'm 5'8" and fairly self conscious about short dresses, but found this one to be perfect, not too short. 

The red sequins are beautiful - they have a little more depth than a straight red. 

I didn't find the dress to have that much stretch. It did not scratch under my arms. The slip did seem to peek out in an awkward way. 

I wore this dress for my bachelorette party and it was to die for! The dress is super comfortable with the exception of the occasional sequin that would scratch my arms. I did have an issue with my hair getting caught in the sequins as well, but that was solved with a simple updo upgrade. I absolutely recommend this dress to anyone who wants to look and feel gorgeous 

This dress was a lot of fun. It runs large in the chest, so I went down a size to make sure the cleavage area wasn't completely loose/exposed -- this would not be an issue for someone with a larger chest. The dress is short, low-cut, and tight -- and also sparkly and red. I didn't quite realize how flashy it was before it came. I loved wearing it and got lots of compliments on it...but just be ready to own the showy/flashy nature of the dress! It is a flattering material (smoothing) and it was comfortable to dance in. 

I rented this dress for my birthday at a rooftop bar in NYC. It was a last minute rental because the dress I had originally rented was unavailable, but I am SO happy I chose this one! The deep burgandy color is classy and the sequins give it just the right amount of sparkle! The neckline was low, but not too low. The midsection was a bit stretched out and it definitely runs large, so I would recommend sizing DOWN for your back-up size! Overall, was a great dress & looked amazing in pictures!

Great dress!  Very flattering, but there is no stretch in the fabric and it is very low-cut. It worked very well for a bachelorette party. It does look like the flower design on the shoulder has been altered, the version I wore had larger and showier gemstones sewn on.

I absolutely love this dress.  Felt very sexy and because it was stretchy, it was very easy to move in and very comfortable.  The biggest problem was the bottom of the lining showing and the flowers along the neckline being a bit raggedy. I'm petite (5'2), so the neckline was much lower and length was longer.  I think a really great push-up bra is more important than a body slimmer for this as well.  Lastly, size down like everyone recommends.

Wore this dress for our 5th anniversary dinner in Vegas. I usually wear a 6, but the 6 was loose around the armpits and sort of a weird length. The 4 was perfect for Vegas. I wound up taping the front a little bit so my bra didn't show, but otherwise it was absolutely perfect.

This dress was very pretty and fun, I got many compliments all evening at my Dental School Valentine's formal.  I am a bit busty, so I did use a bit of fashion tape to ensure there were no "wardrobe malfunctions."  I would definitely wear this dress again.  The only issue I had was on my back up size dress the shoulder accent was a bit limp, but I wore the other size! 

The dress was comfortable and pretty.  True to size

I rented this dress (size 4 but I couldn't enter that in here) for my 40th birthday!! I couldn't have been more pleased. It was perfect!! The color, the fit - everything! People wouldn't stop complimenting me and asking where I got it. I had cleavage that I normally don't have and I wasn't even wearing a padded bra - haha. I would recommend this dress to any girl that wants to stand out and feel beautiful. 

Ill fitting. Big on top and baggy at the waist. Not a great look. Bummer. Had to wear back up dress for Valentines Day. 

Like the other reviewers said, this dress runs slightly large. It is stretchy so don't be afraid to size down. Beautiful color, sequins aren't too flashy. loved that I could wear a regular bra with it. Ordered both a size 4 and 6, ended up wearing the 4 because the 6 was a little too large up top. Received a lot of compliments and the stress. Felt sexy without feeling like it was too revealing. Will definitely be using rent the runway again!

Very glamorous and sexy. Worn to my husband 'a work holiday party. I am 5'8" 160# 34DDD and wore the size 6. Ladies, don't be shy and wear a size too big. Looks best if it fits like a glove, though Spanx were a must. I like low cut as long as it can be worn with standard bra and this was perfect. The sequins are festive but not overwhelming. The one-shoulder neckline decor is surprising and fun. The deep red hue is bold but not gawdy. Had a lot of fun in this dress!

First RTR dress and I was so impressed by the quick and on-time shipping! Absolutely gorgeous dress, received a ton of compliments. Runs large, so size down! Only minor complaint was that I had to keep pulling it down because of my large tush. Definitely opt for the second size dress to try the one that is most comfortable for you. Had a little difficultly finding the correct drop box for returns, but now that I know where it is, I'm definitely using RTR again for future events. 

I loved the color of this dress, the sequins have a multi-colored look. It is super low cut, i wouldn't wear this to something formal. I wish I had a smaller size, I thought it was a bit loose. This is the 3rd Badgley Mishka dress I've rented, I love them! 

I was so excited about this dress because so many other size 12 women looked great in it, but even with control shorts on the dress just never looked good around my midsection. It was so unflattering that I had to return it for credit. I thought it would be much more structured than it was. 

This was a great dress for an hourglass girl like me. While it does run large - with a two it was just the right amount of room up top for my large bust but was a little snug in the hips.  Docking it one star because the accent piece on the shoulder looks a little worn. Would wear with your hair down to cover it up.

The color and style of the dress is really pretty but the fit was off for me.  The top was big and as a result showed more cleavage than I was comfortable with.  I felt like I was constantly adjusting.  I would not hesitate to RTR again due to the great customer service and how easy the whole process was, but this dress was just not for me.

The dress ran large. I usually wear a 4, but had to size down to a 2. Even with the 2, the dress would ride up a bit so I was constantly pulling it down. The sequins were a little scratchy under my arms but not a big deal. The neckline is low, but a padded push-up bra and fashion tape helped avoid any issues. The dress was comfortable and I got many compliments on it throughout the entire night.

The color and the quality of the dress is amazing! The issue was that it ran large. I felt myself pulling up my dress (in the bust area) all night. I usually wear a 4 and even the 2 was too big on me. Other than that, I felt gorgeous and the style is definitely sexy!! The pictures on this site don't do the dress justice.

Comfortable and fit well. Stretchy so not a problem zipping up as I normally do with a large chest and broad back. Little itchy under arms from sequins but I expected it and not bad.  Got a million compliments!!! Even got stopped on the street to say how beautiful the dress was. Perfect length. Def not short like on model. I'm 5' 6". 

Loved the dress only downfall was it runs a bit big. 

This dress fits true to size and if I wasn't so busty from nursing my newborn I'd have been able to wear the 8. But the 10  allowed for room in the bust. Very fitted through the waist and no stretch. Very happy to have tried it for my first RTR experience! 

I usually wear a size 4 and ended up wearing the 2.  It is a bit low cut but it still fit my 34E boobs.  I got soooo many compliments on this dress and LOVED it!  Would absolutely rent again and would buy this dress.  The sequins on the dress are  dark multi-colored which is hard to tell from the pic.  They are not black, and this dress sparkles a ton.  

It fit great. Very snug, a little short, a little low in the bust line, but that's what I was going for. A bigger bust may carry the dress a little better, but I felt very comfortable in it, even dancing all night. 

Upon reading others reviews I rented an 8/10 (currently I've been more of a 10 in street clothes but everyone said it ran large) So while the 8 was a little snug around the bust and underarm area, the 10 was really baggy and bunchy in the back so I opted for the 8.
I wore this to a formal masquerade fundraiser that said to wear "Festive Cocktail Attire" so I knew a plain old black dress wasn't going to cut it! This totally fit the bill!! It was a beautiful rich burgundy color and I loved the additional chiffon flowers although wish I had my steamer now because they were a bit crushed. Paired it with the Ben Amun Clara Chandelier earrings and the Lisa Freede Lightspeed bracelet I purchased from the sample sale last summer. The dress did tend to ride up a bit when walking and dancing but thankfully because I'm short it only went mid-thigh so not too too scandalous. The dress is definitely low cut (ie I wouldn't wear this around family!) I had to change out to a plunge bra because normal bras show at the base of the deep V
Despite being low-cut I felt very secure in it. I had no issue with the lining like others had reported but am assuming its because the string that holds the lining and outer dress together got broken at some point, both of my dresses had intact connections to the outer dress.
I used a little bit of Dr. Scholl's rub relief on the underneath of my arms to prevent the usual sequin chafe (have also heard good things about body glide --its a product for runners, or even just plain old lotion just something between you and the sparkles!)

An extremely forgiving style
I really like all of the Badgley Mischka dresses (this is my third rental of one of their sparklers!)


I rented the 4 & 6, and the 4 fit perfectly. I didn't have any problems with the dress, and it was comfortable to wear all night. The color and sequins were really beautiful, and I was sad to have to send it back!

I usually wear a 0 or 2 and the 0 fit very comfortably.  This is low cut in the front so you may want to wear a strapless adhesive bra (or none).  The flowers on the upper left shoulder added a nice touch...they were a bit worn looking up close, but not a big issue.  Note:the length is not a mini (assuming the RTR models are 6'+).  I am 5'4" and the dress came to the top of my knees.  I was a little worried that the dress would be heavy due to the incredible amount of sequence on it, but it is surprisingly very lightweight and very easy to move in when dancing (hugs your body).  The lining was perfect and didn't hang out (some others posts show/mention that).  My only minor issue was a tiny "puckered up" part at the dress in the back right at the lowest part of my back - I had to pull the dress down to straighten it out if I was standing mingling, otherwise fine when dancing.  This is my first rental and I had an excellent experience!  Two dresses came in case one didn't fit, free mini gift and dress tape came along with it, and SUPER EASY to just take off dress, stick in pre-labled bubble envelope and drop off at UPS.  I would highly recommend RTR to friends when they want that special dress to really feel sexy and unique!

Fabulous dress. I didn’t think a dress could look so sexy and be this comfortable. I’m 5’2” and weigh 145 lbs and I ended up wearing the size 8. It was a bit low cut but I never felt like I was hanging out. I wore it to a NYE gala and it was perfect. I got so many compliments on it. I felt like I stood out among a sea of little black dresses. I am 11 months post baby and I was a little worried about my pooch. But the dress was very flattering. I love the RTR service. I couldn’t believe how easy it was. I can’t wait for another occasion so I can rent another fabulous dress again. Thank you!!

I don't recommend this for small chested girls. Has a very weird fit. 

I wore this dress to my law school's Barristers' Ball.  The theme was Great Gatsby Gala and the dress was perfect!  I loved the way the dress hugged to my figure and sparkled in the light.  I got so many compliments!  I wish it would have been a little shorter but it did fit great.  Also, if you are flat-chested, the dress will most likely be loose in the top area.  I love this dress and would definitely rent it again! 

This dress was a great color, comfortable, and very flattering. I had tons of compliments all night!

The dress was gorgeous, but I could have gone a size smaller. It was a little baggy in the lower back area. No one could tell thought because it was so beautiful!!! Got compliments all night! It was slightly itchy in the arms due to the sequins but barely noticeable. Would for sure rent this one again!

Was true to size, perfect length, even though I am bottom heavy. Lots of compliments! Eventually wore with stockings anyway to be safe while I danced. Loved it!

The fit is very true to size, but it is quite low cut. I had to use some of the included fabric tape to keep my bra from showing. Also, I think this has been mentioned in other reviews, but definitely wear your hair up, you don't want to spend all night untangling your hair from the sequins! 

The dress runs true-to-size.  Thought it might be too short but hubby said "No."  :)  Received many compliments on this one!
