"Simply The Best"

I purchased this dress for my second wedding, and it was everything I had dreamed of and more! When my husband saw me walk down the aisle, he cried. After the wedding he said, "I will never forget the vision of you in your dress, you were the most beautiful woman in the world"! The size six was a perfect fit, except the length. It does run long. I took it to a tailor who took it up from the waist. I would give this dress a 10 if I could....

Not a good fit

I ordered 2 sizes up. Although it fits when zipped it is nearly impossible to zip up, even with help. Runs extremely long and this is not the dress you want to spend money on hemming $$$$. I doubt I will ever order another La Femme dress

Great quality, horrible fit

This dress is beautiful and is made with great materials, but this dress runs really small. I ordered my normal size and it wouldn’t even zip up half way. I would order two to three sizes up from your original size. Disappointed that I have to return this as it would have been great for my husband’s Marine Corps ball.

Whatever size you think you are, you’re wrong

I haven’t bought a dress from a department store in years. I have a super fancy wedding coming up and recently lost a bunch of weight. I’m a size 16 now. Well so I thought. Just like I remembered, the sizes that departments stores go by are 4-6 sizes smaller than the rest of the US. I bought a size 18 and it was like trying on a size 12.

Horrible fit

The dress it’s self was beautiful but the sizing is COMPLETLEY wrong. If you’re ordering this dress I would suggest going 2-3 sizes bigger. Quite a self esteem blower wouldn’t you say.

Who is this dress made for?

It's gorgeous but I can't figure out who fits in it. I am 5/2, 105lbs and I ordered a 0 and it's at least 10 inches too long and I could not zip this dress to save my life. I'm a 32C and there was at least a 6 inch gap to pull the two sides of the zipper together.

Beautiful dress

Pick up at store was excellent. Dress runs small get at least 1-2 sizes larger. Dress is long. Will need alterations.
