Reception Cascade Ruffle Strapless Cocktail Dress

Please do not hesitate. This dress is stunning and you will be the belle of the ball. It is true to size but depending on your body type, you may need to size up or down. I suggest going into the store to try your size on if you can. I’m 5’7” 180lbs. I wear a Large and I purchased a Large. It was very snug at my hips and snug in the bust area. I will take it to have it altered a bit. You will also need to add a hook and eye at the top of the zipper so that the zipper stays up. You will get a lot of compliments in this dress. I am full figured and it was very flattering on me. Have it steamed really well before you wear. It wrinkles easily! Gorgeous dress for sure!

So thankful to the person who recommended adding a hook and eye to keep the dress zipped up! I received so many compliments about how flattering it fit. I do recommend getting it dry cleaned or steamed due to the packaging! Overall it was a great find!

Must have dress this structure of this dress is insane so beautiful, the button detail for the back along the zipper is incredible must have dress

This dress is stunning, but the small was too tight and the medium was to big. Also, the boning inside is not sewn in very well and can be irritating where it ends. Wish this dress had come in number sizes, Bc it truly is gorgeous.

If you have an average to moderately slim build, this is 100% the dress for you. Super slender figures will still look cute, but the bisecting fabric drapes will flatter average to slightly thick builds best imo. Surprisingly, I think this cut will look good on girls of all heights.

I'm 5'1", 118 pounds and tend to store fat in my midsection. I usually wear a size 6 in dresses but based on other reviews, I ordered a small. The small fits well, however, it won't zip over my rib cage and chest (34D). This tends to be an issue for me since I have a wider rib cage and large breasts for my frame, but without a hook at the top of the zipper, I can't get the dress up. I really like the dress and love the royal purple color though, so I'm going to a tailor to see if something can be done. I was worried the ruffle would be too big since I'm petite, but it looks good. The dress goes to my ankles, rather than the shin like it does on the model, but it still looks good.

I ordered this as a possible micro wedding dress, but the medium is really big on me (130lbs, 34DD). The buttons on the back are beautiful but the ruffle is even bigger in person than it looks in photos - it adds a lot of mass to the dress. Not for me.

Bought this to wear to a wedding and it’s one of the best dresses I’ve ever owned. Fits perfectly and looks expensive. Got so many compliments.

I ordered the mustard in size XL. For reference I’m typically an 8 or 10. This dress was really poorly constructed. The seams were unfinished and were falling apart at the bottom. There was blue thread (I’m guessing the cobalt) mixed in with the yellow that was visible on the outside. The boning was jagged at the bottom and ripped through the dress lining the first time I tried it on. It cut into my skin and would have been impossible to wear like that. It was also way too big. I thought an XL sounded too big but I followed the sizing chart. There was so much extra fabric I was swimming in it. They missed the mark on this one.

Such a gorgeous dress . Fits like a glove and color is same as in picture , nice and bright . It is truly a special occasion dress. Definitely recommend this one.

Love this dress and fits perfectly. I’m 5’9 and 155. I bought a medium (my true size) and it zipped right up.

At 5’4” and 140, the L fit perfectly. Yes, it needs a hook & eye at the top of the zipper. Definitely a miss. $2 and a few minutes of my time fixed that. Bigger problem for me was being charged full price yet getting a dress that was clearly marked down at some point. Disappointing business practice for Nordstrom.
