Perfect fit

This is a beautiful dress. I am 5’2 and weigh 127 and it fit perfectly with a normal height heel. (Size 6P) It’s fitted just enough to be flattering and slimming without showing too much! My husband loves how it looks. Perfect for my son’s wedding.

Lovely fabric, but the dress is not a petite

When you make dresses for petite sizes, you don’t get to make them longer like you do with women’s sizes as the size goes up. I am 5’2” and when I held up this dress, it was at eye height. Also, the neckline is much tighter than depicted in the photo. My son’s wedding is in January, so I am going to hold on to it, if I find something better in a month, I’m returning it.

Stunning

Im so surprised by how beautiful this dress is in person. Looking for a Mother of the Bride dress. This dress fit me PERFECTLY....i dont need any alterations. This is a deep Navy color. I was hoping for alittle sparkle but nothing that i cant get with my earrings. The rosettes are just so beautiful.

Classic, elegant, and comfortable!

Beautiful dress with classic, elegant look that was perfect for a black tie event I attended. I’m 5‘4“, 130 lbs. and bought size 6P. The fit was perfect and very comfortable. Not tight at all but I felt slim in it. The length was just right for wearing my ballet flats with 1 inch heels; any higher heels and the dress might have been too short. Very pleased with this purchase!

Beautiful and Flattering

This is a beautiful gown and very flattering and comfortable with good coverage. The eggplant color is beautiful! It does run 2 sizes too big though.

Just as pictured

Just as pictured. Ordered petit and it was true to size. Heavy fabric due to lace but it was fine for June. Hard to find decent petit size MOB dresses.
