Gorgeous color and fit!
Wore this with flats (I'm 5'10"). Love the BRIGHT pink! Fit was perfect and I was comfortable all night long. As with all HL, hugs in the right places and is very flattering. Many compliments!

Fabulous color and embroidery
Loved this dress for a rooftop cocktail reception. Fabulous color, embroidery, ruffles. Didn't need a bra. Many compliments! Perfect for summer.

Adorable, comfortable maternity -- so many compliments! Works for nursing, too (hidden zippers!)
This dress fit PERFECTLY in my pre-pregnancy size. Pretty navy lace with a comfy nude lining. This dress made me feel comfortable and not huge (27 weeks). I got SO many compliments. I thought this dress was so fabulous because: 1. Comfy all night long 2. Doesn't look "maternity" 3. Hidden - completely invisible! - bilateral front zippers on top for mamas who may be nursing. I would recommend this dress to anyone!! Loved it.

Not good for pregnant mamas!
Gorgeous color. I rented this as it was recommended to work for pregnant ladies (RTR advises ordering 1-2 sizes bigger than your normal size if ordering non-maternity dresses while expecting). I'm normally a 6/8 and currently 27 weeks pregnant. I couldn't even get the size 12 over my bump -- and it doesn't come any larger than a size 12. Pretty dress, but I had to request an emergency replacement. Thankfully a Seraphine maternity style did the trick. I would love to wear this dress when not expecting.

Love it on the model, hated it on me.
I didn't wear this dress. Despite having a relatively small chest and an athletic build, I couldn't even get this dress zipped up past my ribcage. When I pulled the front of the dress up over my chest (it ties around the neck while the dress itself zips up the side underneath, almost like an apron over a strapless dress) - it truly did look like an apron! My husband laughed at me when I showed it to him. I was so disappointed in this dress in real life, as I had high hopes for it after seeing it on the website.

Bridal shower bliss!
I wore this for one of my bridal showers. It was absolutely perfect! I received so many compliments on it. The dress is a beautiful, silky, magenta pink material that shimmers in the light. The embroidery on it is beautiful shades of white, pink, and green – incredibly stunning and rich looking. I wish I could own this dress! I feel like I would invent reasons to wear it. This is a must-have for any spring or summer event! Plus, very comfortable… And, pockets!

INCREDIBLE! Stunning! WARM!
I wore this before my wedding (in winter, in Illinois). It was exquisite. I had strangers telling me I looked like a movie star/princess in this! Plus, it kept me so warm. It added the finishing touch to all of our photos. It was a must-have. I couldn't imagine my wedding ensemble without it! Get this - you wont regret it!

Stunner!
I wore this for my wedding rehearsal dinner. People couldn't believe how glamorous and stunning this dress was! It did an excellent job of being conservative enough for the church rehearsal ceremony, yet fun and sexy enough for the dinner party afterwards. I am tall, and it came down to my knees. Also, I consider myself quite thin, but I had to wear HEAVY DUTY spanx under this for line and bulge control. (Will need a low-backed bra for this little number.) Necessary unless you're stick thin! Perfect sparkle and shine for a special "white" event.

Just the right amount of show for bachelorette party!
This dress is TIGHT. Granted, that is one of it's key features - but as a 6, I was surprised that had to squeeeeeeze myself into the 8. I was pretty self-conscious about it's form-fitting nature as this is a departure from my normal style, but most of my bridesmaids thought it looked great. (I also didn't bring a great back-up dress.) I was able to wear Spanx shorts under it in place of underwear, since any kind of panty would've caused unsightly lines. I wore this from afternoon til the early morning at my bachelorette party and was very comfortable in it.

Adorable lace dress!
I found that this dress ran small and was not very forgiving! I am a true 6, and the M was very tight on me. I wondered if I should've ordered a L instead of a S and M! Furthermore, I wore Spanx shorts underneath it, and the white underlying skirt is so short that sometimes the shorts were visible. The longer lace skirt on top made it difficult to adjust Spanx/underskirt once they were askew. But other than that, I loved the look of the dress. It was perfect for my high tea bridal shower!

Loved this demure show of color, sparkles, and skin!
Got lots of compliments on this dress. As a tall girl, I loved the feeling of showing a little skin (abdomen behind netting, and thigh at the topmost point of the skirt in front) without being too bold or inappropriate. I wore this to a friend's rehearsal dinner in NYC and it was EXACTLY the right mix of funk and class. Love it!

Looked much more "mature" in person.
I loved the idea of the stress – lavender and light green lace with a fitted waist? What could be more perfect!? However, when I received the dress, it seemed a lot more Golden Girls than young and glamorous. The armholes had been stretched out, as well. It looked incredibly frumpy. Although I rented it for a bridal shower, thank goodness I had brought a spare dress. I ended up wearing my spare instead.

Stunning dress for botanical garden engagement photos!
In love with this dress. The pretty lace with great lining, the horsehair netting sewn into the skirt to give it body, the A-line silhouette. I got so many compliments on this dress just walking through the botanical gardens while we were taking photos! I would consider renting again for any spring or summer party or affair. Could be worn as is - sleeveless - or as I did for our photos, with a shrug. I suspect it'd also look fabulous with a cropped leather jacket!

Great for formal military engagement photos
Love, love, loved the color(s) of this dress! And the jacquard fabric. Cap sleeves and retro silhouette also a plus. Found it to run small. I could still wear a 6 (my normal), but the waist was definitely snug and I couldn't raise my arms all the way (not an issue for photos, but for some it may be).

Super sparkly! (A little itchy.)
I wore what I THOUGHT was the six and couldn't believe how snug it was, as Badgley M. usually seems to run a bit large. It wasn't until I got home after the wedding and took it off that I realized I had worn the 4. Duh. It felt great to be so sparkly and I got several compliments on the dress. Also had a girl come up to me and tell me she RECOGNIZED it from RTR... Haha. I wore it with black and gold Kate Spade heels and black and hematite jewelry and a dark red lip. However, sparkles aside - the fit of the dress is nothing special, in my opinion. I love cap sleeves, but these simply made the sequins under and around the arms feel even more itchy/pressing. Excellent for hiding a bit of a belly I'd gained over the past few months, however. Overall, I would not rent this specific dress again, but it was a fun and sparkly departure from the norm for a fall wedding!

Fabulous color and detail!
This dress was *stunning*. Such a gorgeous, unusual color, and the beading and lace details put it over the top. I got many, many compliments and was able to comfortably enjoy the wedding I wore it to - standing, sitting, and dancing. I will say that I ordered the 4 and 6 (as I typically do with RTR dresses; I wore a 4 in the last dress I rented), and even the 6 in this dress felt a smidge tight. However, wore it and loved it nonetheless!

STUNNER. Sooo many compliments!
Wore this to a black-tie winter wedding. I was approached by tons of strangers telling me how fabulous I looked, and my boyfriend couldn't keep his hands off me! I typically wear a 4 or a 6 and the 4L fit like an absolute GLOVE. For reference, I'm 5'10" and wore 3" heels and the length of the 4L was absolutely PERFECT. LOVE!!!
