The picture does not do the dress justice . When I opened the package , I was in love with the dark berry color . It is very elegant and I only had to hem it . I ordered a XS and I am 5’1 and 103 lbs . Fits perfect and has enough stretch to be comfortable .

Two sizes too small
It’s pretty, but it runs 2 sizes small. I’m normally a medium and I bought a large so that I could properly alter it to my body, but a large ended up being a little too snug for my taste. The v is also VERY deep. I wouldn’t suggest it for someone with a larger chest, unless you’re planning on having alterations done.

S T U N N I N G!
I can’t put into words just how stunning this dress is!! You’ll just have to buy it to completely understand what I’m talking about! Online the dress looks great, but it doesn’t do it justice. When it arrived we couldn’t believe just how BEAUTIFUL it was in person! It says W O W as soon as you enter the room. Or in my case, walk on stage! I purchased this dress in RED for my daughter who was singing a Whitney Houston song. It is a diva dress and will get A L O T of attention. The ONLY reason why I had to return this dress was due to the length even with heels. (Nordstrom would have altered, but we didn’t have time)She didn’t want to trip on stage while performing, even though it looked better than FANTASTIC on her. Hugs in all the right places. Daughter is 5’8 112 and we purchased a small. Fits true to size. Slit is not too high, and because it’s a great fit, it fits perfectly with the V neckline. Its perfect for any glitzy affair. Oh, and the “I Will Always Love You” performance...my daughter ‘killed it’ and won the pageant wearing a different Nordy dress! YOU WILL LOVE THIS DRESS!!!!

Absolutely Beautiful Gown!
This dress is absolutely beautiful! It is true to size. It shows any lumps and bumps you might, but you can wear a sharper to hide any imperfections. This dress is beautiful and the material is really nice. This is a must buy.

Beautiful dress but...
This is a beautiful dress but the slit is very high and the neckline very low. Not at all appropriate for the mother of the bride. It's also very heavy. It was returned.

Love the dress
This dress is true to size. Since it was not available in petite size, I did have to alter the dress. The dress is a bit on the heavy side but very comfortable to wear all night. Love this dress!! Sexy and no bra needed!!
