Simply beautiful

I am so happy to be able to share my thoughts and opinions on this amazing dress. I wore this dress for my wedding (which was small and intimate courthouse affair)I could not have made a better choice! The dress fit perfectly the lace detail and color were much better in person than in pictures, the dress photographed extremely well! I initially purchased a size 16 and received it 6days before my wedding when my I tried it on it was too big my maid of honor immediately called customer service and they were so good at making sure that I received the correct size as soon as possible they were kind enough to send get it delivered on a Saturday with no extra fee, it was the best customer service I've had in a long long time! To sum it all up when I received the correct size (14) the dress fit perfectly and hugged my body in all the right places. I will truly reccomend this dress and designer to anyone who has a fuller hourglass/pear shaped body.

Badly finished

The fit of this dress was right on; however, the hemline and around the neck and arms looked very bad. The mesh backing for the lace was not trimmed off properly and looked awful. You could see where someone was cutting the mesh, but it was as if they never finished. I would expect more for a $400 dress. I returned it.

Mother of the Bride Dress

I have been searching for months for a dress for my daughter's wedding and I finally found the one! This dress is simple, yet elegant. Quality construction and gorgeous fabrics combine to create a lovely dress that will complement, yet not compete with the brides beautiful gown. I will be able to wear this dress to many future formal events.

LOVE this dress!

I bought this dress in the bright blue color, size 4 (my usual size). I wore it to a holiday party and received a lot of compliments. It fits perfectly and the color is beautiful! It's a little pricey, but worth it if you can swing it.

So-so

I'm 5'4 120 pounds and ordered size 4. The top fit perfect and the bottom kind of just "ballooned" from my hips to right at my knees. The neckline also fit a tad off as it was very wide/loose on me..

Pink bloom lace

I ordered this dress on line to attend a wedding. Other comments stated that it ran large or normal. Therefore, I ordered the 10 Reg thinking that it ran large. Untrue. So, I ordered the 12. It was not available in any stores to try on. The 12 arrived & it was the exact same fit as the 10. I went on line again & located a 12 & 14 at the Seattle downtown store, where I called & asked to have them put on hold, so that I could actually try them on AND return the other 2 dresses. Finally, I had to buy the 14, which I have never done before. I love this dress & decided that I would take the larger size, just to be able to have it. Normally a 12 should have worked great. A lot of effort was put into this. The manufacturer should size the dress more true to size to eliminate the stress. Thankfully, I started early with the process for a May wedding! Love the dress & color!

Gorgeous Dress

Absolutely gorgeous dress. It is beautifully designed and true to size. The smoked pearl is a lovely combination of taupe and grey with a nude lining. The modesty of the dress is perfect for my 5'4'' height, size 12 regular, and as mother of the groom.
