Stunning and Slimming!

I purchased this dress to wear to an an October wedding. I’m 5’8 and the dress hit me just above knee, so still appropriate for me in my early 60’s. I was pleasantly surprised how slimming and flattering this dress is. I do not have a small waist, but the dress gives me an hourglass figure look. The dress has just the right amount of stretch. I’m more of an apple shape and about 10 pounds outside the top of my weight range, so I was so surprised out how good this dress looks on me. I wasn’t sure about the royal blue either, but the color is gorgeous. Overall, the dress in stunning. It’s a WOW! Thank you Nordstrom! Always the best!

Material looks like plastic in person - horrible!

I did not even bother trying this on. Took it out of the package and was so turned off by the cheap, plastic-y looking material that I put it right back. Can't even think of a situation where this would work.

Gorgeous dress!

I bought this dress in navy and it fit me perfectly even with my petite frame. It’s so flattering and the portrait collar is beautiful. I plan to wear it as a MOTB dress for my daughter’s December wedding. Couldn’t be more pleased!

Elegant and comfortable!

I was really not sure about ordering this dress. Normally I try and find something that doesn't appear to be so form-fitting. But this dress has stretch and is not skin-tight. True to size. Hourglass perfect. Just above knee length. It's ideal for the function I need it for and I think it's something I would wear again. Really pleased!
