Wore this on vacation and also to my daughter's college graduation, I didn't want to give it back! This dress is super comfortable and retro, reminded me of the '50s. The skirt is very full, the fabric is light and soft. It's such a fun dress to wear! I would have bought it if it wasn't so expensive. You can wear a regular bra with it. The straps did fall off my shoulders at times, they're a little long. I wore ballet flats with it for practical purposes, but is is absolutely banging with heels! I loved the pockets, they're deep enough that I was able to keep my I-phone, lipstick, and glasses in them (and didn't need to carry a handbag). This dress looks much better in person than it does in this photograph, extremely flattering and makes your waist look tiny. Works well with a larger bust (36D) hourglass shape, and the length was perfect (I'm 5'8). The colors are great! I'm going to miss this one.

Incredibly beautiful! Ran a bit small, but I always have to go up one size with Badgley Mischka. I'm usually a 14, but the 16 fit perfectly. At 5'8 the length was perfect with flats, and probably would have been fine with heels as well. I was able to go braless (36D). So comfortable and photographs beautifully. I don't think I've ever gotten as many compliments on a dress as I did with this one. The grommets are amazing and give it a bit of an "edge". In a sea of black and red gowns, this one stood out. I would absolutely rent this again!

I rented this for my daughter's college graduation in SC and ended up buying it. Very structured, comfortable, and flattering! My husband loved it, "smoking hot" is his description. Photographs beautifully. Length was perfect and I'm 5'8. Bust was perfect on 36D, and with the built in structure I was able to go braless. Rent this, you won't regret it!

I rented this for my son's college graduation. Beautiful details and colors. The slip was a bit short for the occasion. Reminded me of a little girl's dress, wore it with a cardigan to make it look "grown up". Odd cut, no stretch, waistband is too high (just under bust), and at the end of the day my arms were chafed from the fabric. Fabric is very stiff and heavy. Luckily, it photographs very well!

Wore this to my son's high school graduation, it's extremely comfortable and flattering. The colors are beautiful. I'm 5'8 and the length was perfect. Can be dressed up or down, I paired it with wedges and a jean jacket to make it a bit more casual. It has some stretch. It doesn't have any built in structure and is somewhat sheer, so I wore a nude Spanx slip under it. I'm hanging on to this one for a while! Perfection!
