Cold Shoulder Ruffle Gown

This is a wonderful dress, especially for the price.

Funny reading reviews after trying a dress on -- I would probably never have ordered this online, based on the reviews, or even from looking at the photo, but I found it in my local store last evening and have it on hold. I think it's a really elegant and easy to wear dress, and the price is right for a one or two-time wear garment. I love that I can wear regular undergarments with it. I am wearing it to a gala event and I think it will be comfortable all evening. I am a curvy 5'4" and will need to have the size 6 altered a little as it too big on top. A 4 would have been perfect (I am usually a 6 to fit my hips but this dress has enough flow). It didn't come in the 4. Even though the one I tried is a regular 6, with 3" heels it will be perfect length. I may push those side straps up - it's a little princessy with them down. We'll see. Leaves a nice neckline for some interesting jewelry. I was prepared (though not excited) to pay more. Happy to find this dress. Hope I have occasion to wear it again.

I hated this dress. The material feels icky and the draping looks unkempt.

I am quite picky about quality of anything, but I did not find that this dress looks cheap. It's nice, and flattering, too (which is good for me as I could stand to lose a few:). It runs a bit large; at least, that's what I thought.

I bought this for a dressy-casual wedding and it was absolutely perfect. Very flattering fit and the petite is perfectly proportioned for a small frame. Sexy neckline and sleeves without being too revealing. I got tons of compliments and it’s a look to fit lots of occasions.

Love the dress. The design is very flattering, it fits true to size and is very comfortable!

I wore this dress to a wedding, and love the drape and style. The only is issue I had was that the top/vertical strap that is supposed to sit on top of your shoulder was very short and didn't allow the side straps to fall, like they do in the picture. Overall it wasn't a major issue -the dress looks good with both straps up as well- I just wish I was able to wear it as worn in the picture. Overall, a beautiful dress that was slimming, elegant and classy.

Loved this dress and wanted to keep it but it was not quite formal enough for my event. This bust area was a bit tight (I’m 34D). Good for hiding a small pooch. I would not have needed to shorten this one!

This gown fit great. Was so comfortable. Looked amazing. Received many compliments.

I purchased this in a petite size and a regular sized dress in another style (same brand), and there was very little difference in the length - maybe 1 inch. I'm 5'0" and this dress was at least 4-5" too long. It's a two layered dress, and I felt it would be too costly to have to pay to have 2 hems done on the dress, and it's not something I could do myself. It's a beautiful dress, and true to size, but to have to add more money to make it wearable, I didn't think it was worth it, so I'm returning it.

Great Dress! Top a little big, so I reordered a size smaller and it's a wonderful fit as well. I am short waisted, senior citizen, who looks for youthful, mature looking clothes with quality and class. I'm on a fixed income and this price fits my budget because I already have 2 events to wear this dress to, by the end of Sept. 2011

I bought this dress for my son's wedding in August and was a little skeptical. Wow! I love, love, love this dress! It fits perfectly and is so very comfortable! I will be my son's best "man" so I have to have a black dress. Now I am confident that I will look my best and be comfortable too! This was the first dress I ordered or even tried on. Thank you Nordstrom for the wonderful experience!
