Beautiful Cocktail dress
I ordered this dress size 8 and took a chance since they had nothing bigger than 8's left. When it arrived I opened it and thought it would be way too small for me. To my surprise there is stretch to the dress and it fits me perfectly. The natural wrinkles in the dress due to the underlay actually disguise any fat or flab! The lace is gorgeous. This dress is a keeper. For reference i am a 36DD and my normal womens size is between 8-10, 150lbs. I'm pairing this with pumps and a simple bauble.

Dissapointing
This dress didn't work at all for me. I'm usually a perfect size 6. The 6 was way too small and the 8 was way too big. I tried a petite 8 and that was a combination of the two. Big in some places small in others. I also found the lining to have way too much fabric and in each dress, it bunched up instead of lying flat. The quality of the lace was just OK... It's the only time I've ever given anything only 1 star. There wasn't anything about it that I liked.

Gorgeous!
The Adrianna Papell Lace Sheath Dress is gorgeous! I ordered the dress in the color Blackberry. It looks just like the picture and the sizing is right on. It looks beautiful and is very comfortable. A very high quality dress at a great price! My order thru Nordstrom was fast and easy! Gotta Luv Nordstrom!!!

A beautiful party dress
This dress fit perfectly. I wore it to a wedding and the compliments were nonstop! Not to mention that shoe options are endless. I was nervous about purchasing a dress online but Nordstorm didn't let me down. I give this purchase an A+.

Fabulace
Love the dress, very comfortable and flattering. I had to go up a size though, I normally wear a petite size 4 and it was a bit snug so I went to a petite size 6. The lace overlay is beautiful with the neutral underlay. No necklace needed just a bracelet and earrings!

Petite Review
I am 5'2" and weigh about 175, usually wear a size 10 or 12. I ordered this dress in a size 12P and when I tried it on, it was very tight. It looked okay but was very conforming. I felt the cream fabric was pulling and made it look too small. Because I wanted to feel more comfortable in the dress, I sized up for the 14P. Other than that, the dress is absolutely beautiful and made well. Good length for a Petite but be aware there is a slit up the back! I would recommend wearing with tights.

beautiful just didn't quite work
I have a slender athletic build with a slightly larger chest (C/D) and the lining bunched and pulled under my arms and around my chest but swam around my hips. Plus the sleeves were made very tight and constrictive. The dress is beautiful but the sizing issues just didn't work for me.
