not as pretty in real life

I bought this dress hoping this would be the one. The dress, when compared to the picture, looks cheap and poorly made. The color is a shade or two darker than the picture. it is almost dark beige. The chiffon part flows nicely but the top isn't as pretty as I had hoped The sweetheart neckline isn't structured and sort of just hangs.. there are little sequin like things embedded into the lace, too, that gives it a really cheap look. The dress is very light, though, and I had hoped I could change into it during reception. It just wasn't as gorgeous and ethereal as I had hoped it would be.

Beautiful Dress but WAY too big

I'm usually a size 4 and sometimes a 6 depending on the brand. I ordered a size 2 and a size 4 as I was told this dress runs a size big. I tried on the 4 and it was HUGE; I tried on the 2 and it was also too big. I'm not sure that you'd be able to do a lot of altering to the top of this dress either, so unfortunately I'll be sending it back. Beautiful dress in person, but it runs about 2 sizes too big.

I recently purchased this beautiful dress for my sons wedding. After reading all the reviews I'm concerned that this dress is more for a bride than for the mother of the groom. I tried on hundreds of dresses and came across this and knew it was the one from the moment I put it on. I would love to hear feedback on your thoughts. Is this dress appropriate for my sons wedding?

Gorgeous dress, but not for a short person

It's a beautiful dress, very nice color, gorgeous embroidery, very well made. Unfortunately, for my 5'4" height, it's not a good fit. Arm holes are too low, waist line is on my hips and, of course, train is too long. For somebody who is tall, this dress will work beautifully.

gorgeous detail

this dress is gorgeous. I ordered a size down as suggested and it fits great and is comfortable and light. The color is a bit darker than pictured in the image but still appropriate for a wedding. It is exactly what I was looking for and I can't wait to wear in at my wedding.

Perfection

This dress fits so well. It gives an hourglass appearance nipping in at the waist and slimming the hips. The feather details are really what make this dress unique and the lining happens to be the perfect color for my skin. What a gorgeous dress at a very reasonable price.
