How does it fit?

Love, love, love this dress! I am 53 years old and it is age appropriate as a guest for a March wedding. I am 5’6” tall and weigh 155, with 36C bust. I bought a size ten, it fits, but a bit snug at top than I would like. My shoulders are on the broader side. I am ordering the twelve to see the difference. If you are busty, consider moving up in size. The V is deep, but not too deep that it’s inappropriate. The length is not like the picture, it goes well below my calf, almost to ankle. The color is a bit more sapphire than navy blue, which I didn’t mind. The best part is, you can wear a normal bra and underwear! No Spanx needed with the flow of the bottom.

Disappointed

I purchased this dress online. I was surprised to see Nordstroms sent it in a plastic bag as if I had purchased it from Target. I do believe the dress may have been a returned as it did not have the crisp appearance. I immediately returned it to the store the very same day it arrived.

Not right for me

The dress is to long for a 5’2 girl. The dress is well made and pretty. Because of the quality of the fabric and cuteness of the dress I am rating it a 5.

Beautiful dress!

Loved this dress! I’ve been looking for something to wear to my daughter’s wedding, and this is perfect. I am amazed at how comfortable it is. Fully lined with a very silky fabric and very easy to wear. Not scratchy or confining, and I can wear a regular bra with it.

Runs True To Size

I bought it a size down (6) based on the recommendation and found that it was too small on top. I am a 54, 5'2" and a 36D and generally wear a size 6-8 dress, sometimes a 10 if it is very fitted. It is very pretty and a lovely tea length on me. It is gorgeous and very well lined, so it's a little less provocative IRL than as pictured.

classy and elegant

Beautiful, classy and elegant. Perfect length. I am 5’5 and it stopped about 3-5 inches past my ankle. Compared to the model it was half of that length. Very forgiving. Beautiful for a wedding, bridal shower dress, engagement party etc. beautiful if you have curves as well. Makes you feel like a princess. I was happy I found this. I looked for months. Tadashi will be one of my new favorite brands moving forward.

Gorgeous dress but long

I desperately wanted this dress to work for a wedding but it is just too long on me. For someone taller, this will probably look amazing. I also felt it showed too much cleavage for a wedding event. I even tried to figure out some way to shorten it, but there's really no way without undermining the styling of the dress. The quality of this dress is really impressive - beautifully made. At least for me, I did not agree that this dress runs large - I felt it runs true to size. Sadly sending it back.
