I read countless reviews of this dress before buying to decide what size to get. Here is a guide for any of you in the same situation. I ended up with the medium (in Black) and it fit perfectly. I am 5'7" 140 lbs, about a D-cup, full hips and thighs(I've learned to embrace that fact now). The upper portion of the dress fit like a glove and the bottom portion hid my hips and thighs with it's full skirt. Absolutely beautiful dress and I was comfortable in it all night. The length fell slightly above my toes with 3 inch heels on. I was able to wear a demi-cup bra and none of it showed, not even the back strap. When I ordered it I thought I might want to embellish it a little, but ended up only wearing pearl jewelry. Received many compliments, it was a very classic look. Hope this review helps.
I bought the sleeveless version of this dress (it's still here on O, just search the designer name) in ivory for my wedding dress last year. I took a chance because of the feedback.. I wish I could attach a photo from my wedding here for you. I swear I looked as if I'd dropped at least 15 lbs the moment I slipped it on. In person and in the photos, I will be honest- even though I sound so very Vain! This dress looks and feels, like I'd paid 5 times what it cost! Its simply perfect.. My one yr anniversary is coming up this month. I will be wearing this dress (w/ the 3/4 sleeve this time) in black for our special occasion and intend to wear it to many holiday functions. It is fully lined and very well made. It is as comfortable as PJ's! But simply stunning. The way the straps are, it perfectly allows for your favorite bra. Some friends called it a 'Goddess' style and I must say, I truly did feel like one. Now in the black, I suppose it will be even more slimming! This dress is true to size and though many say they had it hemmed, I allowed the little extra length. When I look at society photos and the red carpet ladies, their dresses flow and even puddle on the ground. it is an elegant look. (I should also mention, this dress travels well. Not a single wrinkle straight from the box. I would feel comfortable packing it for a cruise, etc. As it hangs in my closet now - & I've yet to send it out for laundering - it looks as new as the day wore it a year ago. I had the dress on for well over 10 hours. Its magical)
I ordered this dress for my June 2010 wedding in Las Vegas. It arrived within days of my ordering it, and due to the gorgeous, easy-care fabric, came out of the box ready to wear! I'm a mature bride, and this stunning, contemporary gown hides all the little flaws we older girls want to hide, and shows off everything that's still worth showing off! And the price can't be beat! My bridesmaids ordered the same dress in black with arm bands (mine has 3/4 sleeves) and their verdicts are the same: this dress is a stunner. And did I mention the price is right? I know I will be a beautiful, confident bride in this gorgeous gown; I wear a 38 C bra, and the size Large fits like it was custom-made. Comfort and style go together in ways they usually don't with this dress. Kudos to you, Overstock.com!
I wore this gown to my Neices evening wedding and I got alot of comments on how skinny I looked. For a size 14 that is music to our ears!! The Dress was so comfortable, all I had to do was hem about an inch and a half on bottom and I am only 5'3''. I ordered a large and the fit was perfect. The color Navy was very elegant with Silver accessories. I would highly recommend this Gown to all, I had a wonderful time and felt like a million bucks.
Big busted women...listen up! This dress is nice but if you want to wear this without a whole lot of cleavage showing you cannot wear it as intended but you still can wear it. You can cover the cleavage by pulling this up. If you take a D or DD cup the top will be too small if you wear the seam underneath your breast but if you pull the dress up and have the seam high up, the dress can be worn and it doesn't look bad or unintended to be this way. It will have a more ruched look at the breast but the seam doesn't look out of place as long as it is high like 5 or 6 inches above where it comes underneath the breast. I am 5'2" and wear a 16P and bought the XL. I am keeping this but wearing it high up. I will need to have this hemmed and may do it in a long tea length. The dress is comfortable and slimming.
I LOVE this dress and am actually ordering another in the burgundy color:)
I ordered it on a Sunday night, and was delivered on Monday. The dress was perfect for a black tie event. Sleeves covered flabby arms, the light material flowed over my other bodily imperfections and it didn't wrinkle. There was some excess material where the bodice and skirt joined, but was easily covered up with a pretty broach. I got many compliments.
Well, I read all the glowing reviews and yes, the dress fits well and does screen one's imperfections. However, the material is very cheap. I was planning on wearing this dress to a formal event but after trying it, had to send it back. Very cute but not for the formal occasion.
After trying on more dresses than I could count for my daughter's upcoming wedding, I ordered this on a last minute whim - 3 weeks before her wedding! And, it's a winner. I wasn't sure if I would like it because I generally like a little bit of "bling" but the neckline and sleeves of this dress are such that they just beg for some beautiful rhinestone or crystal earrings and a gorgeous bracelet. The fabric is a very nice weight and the dress is fully lined. I am 5'5" and 160 lbs usually a size 12; sometimes a 14. The dress is very slimming and shows just enough shoulder and arm not to look like one of those frumpy mob dresses. The color is a dark navy which makes it very nuetral. Colors in my daughters wedding are regency purple and green apple. The negatives - at 5'5" and wearing 3" heels, it still drags the ground. Will have to have it hemmed. Also, I am a 36 D bust and it shows just a little more cleavage than what I would like; however, since the top is kind of a wrap design it will be easy to have a few stiches added to hold it together a little more. Overall I am very pleased with the dress and looking forward to wearing it for my daughter's Big day.
reviews that mentioned large chested women needed to be careful about this dress were correct. also hem was too long unless you wear heels but otherwise, fantastic dress! i'm glad i bought this dress.
