Draped Column Gown with Bolero Jacket

I'm pear shaped, 68, and I wear (depending on the dress) from a size 16 to 16W. This dress is extremely flattering for my body type. Right now it's my first choice for my daughter's November wedding. My only hesitation is that the bolero jacket is a tad more sparkly than it appears in the photo, but I love the way the jacket fits. It covers the arms but isn't heavy, and the dress is cute even without the jacket. Silver shoes look great with it!

I have searched for about 4 months, trying on countless dresses for my son's wedding. On a whim, I ordered this dress and it is perfect. True to size, extremely flattering and fits perfect with no alterations needed for my 5'3" height. The dress is more beautiful in person as the jacket has the "sparkle" needed to pump up the dress. Would recommend this purchase!

There is no place in the description listing a long side slit on the dress. Don't like slits, and certainly not one this high. Can't wear as Mother-Of-Bride

I am 5 ft 3 and weigh 150 pounds. I ordered both the 14 and 14P. The 14P was too small in the bodice height but still needed alterations because the straps were too long so the bodice would be pulled up too high. I went with the 14 and will have it altered in bodice and hem but as my sister says, I look 15 pounds lighter in this dress than any other I tried on. It is so lovely, hangs so beautifully, so comfortable, does not show my rolls of body fat and best of all, no need for any of that uncomfortable restrictive undergarments. This is for my daughter's wedding and I will put it on and not have to think about anything but having fun. Just FYI, the navy is all one color with sparkles in the bodice and jacket. The charcoal color has a big color difference between the bodice/jacket and the skirt. The top part is much more purple than gray.

Absolutely love this dress! Fits perfectly, looks very elegant, and makes me look taller and thinner than I am! Length is perfect with only a modest heel (I’m 5’6”). Dress and jacket are comfy, not binding at all. It is a bit sparklier than it appears in the picture, but will look perfect for the military function I’m wearing it to, as well as for formal nights on cruise.

The gown arrived well packaged. Gorgeous look, wonderful fabric, a soft deep gray color. Even prettier than expected. Fits as if someone handmade it for me. Only needs hemming.
