Elegant and Flattering

I wore this to a black tie wedding and felt comfortable and put-together all 12 hours I was in this dress. It's essentially strapless, but the grippy neckline and form-fitting nature of this dress meant I had no issues on the dance floor. I ended up sizing down because I felt the chest area looked a bit frumpy in my usual size on my smaller chest.

A little tight in the bust but true to size everywhere else! Loved this. So many compliments!! If you're bigger in the chest I would reccomend sizing up for a more comfortable fit.

Elegant LBD

A beautiful twist to a classic LBD. The single beaded strap and long chiffon scarf attached creates a feminine and soft flow. It was a bit big on me as I am a true size 8 in most designers. I went up a size per the reviews I read and it was large in the bust area for me. But, I made it work. Lovely quality and construction.

Gorgeous dress!

Ordered the size 2 and 4. The 2 fit but snug so I went with the 4 for more comfortability. Fit great on the body. Loved the one shoulder and draped detailing to spice up a black dress!

Elegant!!!

Pardon the two shoes - was trying it on & this was the only full bod pic I got in it LOL Beautiful dress. Felt so elegant. Was snug - but I was my normal size in it…maybe if you’re between sizes, size up or get two size options

Loved this dress

I’m usually a 6-8 in dresses but I decided to size up to a 10 and it fit perfectly. The 8 was just a bit too tight area my stomach area so I went with a more comfortable fit. Overall, highly recommend!

Great party dress

Wore this dress to a fundraiser gala. Was a great black dress with a few "extras" with the single beaded strap and drape. The 2 fit but was a little snug. The 4 was too large in the chest. Ended up wearing the 2, but something in between would have been perfect.

Loved this dress!

It snug me in all the right places! It was so flattering. But it was a bit hard to walk in, as the range of motion on my legs were tight— I did have to walk slow with small strides. So be wary of that if you want something more movable.

Fit great but tight in the rib cage while slightly larger in the chest, the only way I could get it to zip was to go bra-less! Received numerous compliments

The dress was appropriate for a black tie optional wedding.

The 12 fit me but was tight across my meno-tummy. My fam assured it was flattering. I could not have worn the 14, it would have been too large.

Loved the elegance and simplicity!

I have a smaller chest, so the top was a tiny bit loose but the rest of the dress fit like a glove. Very comfortable to wear. The length was also very flattering. I’m 5’3” for reference!

Perfect Black Tie Dress!

I wore this at a black tie wedding and it was perfect. I typically wear an 8 in dresses, but considering it is a more fitted, formal gown, I went up a size and the 10 was more comfortable than the 8. The embellished strap doesn’t really serve a purpose as in holding the dress up so essentially, this is a strapless dress. The chest area had so much support and never had to adjust it throughout the night.

BlackTie Wedding

I rented size 12 & 14 and ended up using size 14. It is not a forgiving dress but I used a body shaper and it held everything together. I did not wear a strapless bra so I needed to keeping pulling the top up during the evening. Overall it is a beautiful dress and I received a lot of compliments, but if decide to use a body shaper and need to use the ladies room make sure someone goes with you to help you with the dress.

Not the best for short girls, but flattering!

I’m about 5’2 and the dress hit right above my ankles which made it very hard to walk in, I was finding myself having to hold the dress up to walk properly. I am also small chested and had to wear a pretty hefty push up bra to get the top to fit snug. I would have ordered a size down if it were available. Overall the dress was very flattering and i received many compliments!

Simple but elegant dress

This was a last minute sub for the Bronx & Banco Camille Pencil dress that had a zipper issue and I'm so glad it worked! The size 6 was perfect and I loved the elegance of the draping. I thought the length would be odd, but it made for better moving around. Great dress for a wedding in March in Arizona. Felt very fancy but not over-done.

A bit tight up top but good flow

I can normally rely on Badgley Mischka to fit my hourglass figure, but the top was a little tight on this dress while the waist and hips were a bit loose - would probably have suited a bottom-heavy figure better, but I enjoyed wearing it anyway. The scarf made for an interesting movement while I walked back and forth from the stage.

Much nicer than in the photos. As many of the reviews mention, the top is very small/tight. I sized up to my backup as a result, but then the rest of the dress was too big (especially the length!) so did not wear.

Black tie

Felt like a million bucks in it because of the quality is amazing. Not the most flattering on shorter figures (I'm 5'2") and is stiff with not a lot of give so it's harder to walk in. I paired with mesh gloves and got more compliments on those than the dress!

Fun accents

I loved the sparkly shoulder with side cape it really dressed up the black dress. Low key difficult to walk a with the midi part being mermaid tight.
