Beautiful and Flattering

Loved this dress as soon as I put it on! It’s forgiving but also very flattering. The fabric is thick and there is no need for any shape wear. It’s definitely a keeper!

Raw cut edges

Beautiful, somewhat unusual color. The fabric is a stout fabric; the style is very flattering. It fits true to size. BUT the sleeves, side ruffle and bottom of the dress are UNHEMMED--it is just a raw cut edge. Very weird for a nice evening dress. It's the sort of detail you'd expect on a Loft shirt you picked up on clearance for $15.

Great Dress

Fabric is very thick - similar to Chiara Boni Le Petite dresses - but at a fraction of the cost - very forgiving & flattering - no need to wear a shaper under it. True to size - maybe just a bit generous.

Surprisingly poor

Surprising that Nordstrom would handle this kind of poor quality. Basically its a dress made out of rubber. Looks like rubber, smells like rubber. Its a shame because the color and style are beautiful but it is a rubber dress.

Nice dress

I really liked this dress. Great quality. Fabric was a nice weight, not at all clingy. I would have kept it but decided it was a little too dressy for my event. Would be perfect to wear to a wedding.

Bunches in Butt

Will need to have it altered. Because of the gather in the front, it wrinkles badly in the back. (Size 4) Not a high-quality fabric, but suffices, a conservative dress, for sure.
