Embroidered Cocktail Dress

This dress is beautiful and well made but did not look good on me. I’m 5’ 3”, this dress will look great on someone taller. I had to return it.

This dress is absolutely lovely in person. I liked it very, very much and it fit perfectly (I'm curvy). The only reason that I didn't keep it was that my husband said that this dress made him say "what a beautiful dress" but the other dress we kept made him say "you look beautiful".

Nice retro look, great dark color but sleeves were too tight to fully raise my arms.

I got so many compliments on this dress I wore for my niece’s wedding. It was comfortable and absolutely perfect for the occasion.

WHY oh why? I am full busted and the last thing I want is to add 1/2 inch to my chest. Yet the underslip to this dress, which is sewn to the waist, is two layers thick in the bodice, with foam padding sandwiched in between. This is not mentioned in the description. If you are flat chested with a straight/no curves figure, this dress will change that. The torso is also loose in the waist on me. There is no stretch to the fabric. I am not fat but this dress made me thick waisted and matronly. Thank you Nordstrom for making returns so easy.

The color is very bright, almost a neon and the emroider is very heavy looking. I expected a pale blue with delicate embroiderry and I was very disappointed. It has been returned. I did not try it on so I don't know how it fits .
