Beaded Mesh Column Gown

As other reviews have said this dress is very heavy! I read reviews before ordering and some said runs large if in between order down. I did this as I am a 12-14 in tops and a 10 in bottoms. 12 was way to form fitted in the bust so I ordered a 14 and it fit perfectly. I have room to sit down. The color was a nice surprise it is a beautiful slate blue. Beading is gunmetal not quite black. Very flattering to the middle if you carry your weight in your tummy like I do. The v neck in the front and back give you nice shaping. Material is very nice. No slip will be needed but spanx will be worn. Beads do fall off as you move around but not enough to notice. The price was great. I am the mother of the Groom for an outdoor wedding in September and I think this is perfect.

I got this for my mom for my sisters wedding. She was hesitant at first because it is a heavy dress. But after the ceremony she didn’t take it off because she received compliments from EVERYONE. It looked gorgeous on her and made her stand out as mother of the bride!

I found it easy to step into,and flows over hips nicely. I was pleased that a Column dress could be flattering! Well done Nordstrom.

The dress is heavy (as others have said) but it held up to a beach wedding and dancing. It’s flattering too. I received lots of compliments. The first version of this that I purchased had a broken zipper so I returned it for this one, which arrived in perfect condition. I think it’s a good value.

I wore this dress at a wedding last weekend in Florida. The dress did fit a little smaller than my usual size, it’s form fitting, and it also weighs a bit but I received many compliments from my friends. I absolutely loved it! I will definitely recommend this high quality dress for a formal occasion.

This dress is beautiful, and it is so flattering on! I thought that this would be the dress for my son's wedding as soon as I put it on. Also, as soon as I put it on, beads were falling off the dress. As I looked, I noticed that stitching was unraveling in several places by the zipper. Very disappointing. Just a note - it is heavy, but I don't think it's too heavy to wear for a night. I did get the navy - even though the pic doesn't look that way :)

I'm not one to dress up or go shopping for dressy clothes. It took a long time to find a dress I was happy with for my son's upcoming Fall wedding. I found this one online and was nervous as an online purchase. Nothing ever fits right, especially in the chest area since I am large busted. This dress was true to size and fit perfectly, even in the chest area, I think it even makes me look a little smaller than I am. It looked brown in color on my computer screen but is truly slate in color in person. It is a heavy dress because of all the beading. The only issue I have and reason for the 4 star review is after trying it on, about 3 times, carefully so as to not rip it, beads started to fall off. The dress comes with extra beads and I was able to find the spot missing them. Will have to fix before wedding, although it's not very noticeable unless you really really look closely.

Very pretty dress but extremely heavy. Chose not to wear this to my son's October wedding. I'm 5'4" and 140 lbs, and I found that the dress sizing is kinda weird. The size 6 fit me better than the size 8. The dress was very long for me, and would require me to wear a heel of 2.5 to 3" heel. Other reviewers have said the dress ran large and to order a size down. That's why I ordered both a 6 and an 8. I actually order 2 dresses in size 6 because the first one I received had damage to the beading right in the front of the dress. I decided to order another 6 and an 8 to compare sizing. Also should be noted that this dress is heavily embellished, and the beads are machine sewn. Therefore, they have a tendency to come loose from the dress. After trying on this dress, I noted many small beads on the carpet of my bedroom. I can only imagine how the dress would hold up during the wedding. Sitting and dancing would definitely disturb the beading. It's a lovely dress, and the color was very pretty. I just don't think I would be comfortable with it's weight.

I order online this dress for the wedding to Poland Krakow and I was shocked that it looks so amazing thank you Nordstrom I looked so good and felt like a star

This dress was just what o had been looking for. Iam a size 8 and the size 8 fit me well. It's a heavy dress with all of the beading so I would not recommend for an outdoor event in the heat. Otherwise, the v neck and back were not too low cut and the waist line was very flattering. The length of the dress eas perfect to show off my scrappy, block heeled sandals. All in all I would recommend this dress.

I purchase the eggplant for a MOB dress. The beading on the dress is stunning; pictures do not do justice for this one. I tried on over a dozen dresses and this one was a hit from the moment I put it on. I read the reviews about the dress being heavy, but once you put the dress on the weight of the dress in basically unnoticeable (because you are not holding the dress up with one arm like you are when you’re just simply looking a dress the weight is distributed across your shoulders, this makes a world of difference). I was very happy because of the comfort level of this dress. NO STRAPLESS BRA NEEDED! I can actually wear a regular bra which is great I’m a 36DD & 150lbs. Also, I was a little nervous when I read a review that this dress is great for a granny body; I thought the dress might age me, but it didn’t I felt wonderful. I’m 47 years young and it’s hard to find something not to old looking or something that doesn’t make you look like the “entertainment” Showed my daughter she loved it showed my husband he loved it. If you want a dress that shows off your curves but is classy and comfy, this one is it. Can’t wait to wear it.

Very beautiful dress. The beading throughout makes it so exquisite. I am 65, 5’7 and bought this for my son’s wedding in July. It fits true to size. The color is more of a light peach but with the gray beads comes across as orange. Also It is quite heavy, weighing 5 lbs. I thought it might be too heavy for a summer wedding. So I ended up returning it and am still looking for my dress.
