Very nice, fancy occasion dress, November 20, 2009

"It is a nice dress. Have not had the opportunity to wear it yet. Its a fancy dress. Tried it on. Size is good. Tends to be form fitting around the upper tummy. So, if your tummy is a bit like Santa then you might not like this so well. It is long. I'm 5' 5" and even with heels, 2-3" I think the dress will drag on the ground a bit.I tend to be between a L and XL. Went with the L and it seems okay. The XL might be a bit too much material on top."

"I love the color, shape, fabric of this. The shoulder strap design is flattering but not too flashy. The only thing I'd say is I'm 5'5" and it is very long - I have to wear 4" heels and it is still coming close to the ground... too lazy to hem it! but it has been great every time I wear it and I have gotten complements on it each time. classy fabric."

"I have been looking for a wedding dress since I got engaged a year and a half ago, and when I saw this dress in creme I immediately bookmarked it. I am not the especially girly type, so traditional wedding dresses I was seeing just weren't doing it for me. I just got my dress today, and I could not be more in love with it. It is light and flowy, clings comfortably without being tight, hides all the areas I was worried about (upper arms, tummy, thighs), and most of all looks gorgeous on me. It is the perfect dress for a casual wedding. I love shoulder straps and separated sleeves. It is very elegant without being overwhelming, and definitely not something every bride will have."

"My mother asked me to order this for her as a dress option for her for my wedding day. While she loves the dress, we decided it was not appropriate for such an occasion. She could definitely wear it to a wedding, but as mother of the bride, it just wasn't nice enough. She kept the dress because she loves the fit and it looks fantastic on her! She is very pleased because it does a good job of hiding the tummy. She's also chesty but felt appropriately covered for the party (if she had worn it for the ceremony she would have gotten a coat or shawl). Overall, a nice dress, just not perfect for the original purpose."

Fabulous Dress But Long, November 11, 2009

"This is a fabulous dress. I am large busted (36DDD) and shorter than I used to be. The dress fit perfectly,(with quite a bit of stretch and good quality material with a slight sheen) except that because I am now around 5'5" the dress was about 4 " too long. I absolutely did not want to send the dress back because I loved it so much, so despite the fact that I am not a 'high heel' kind of person and am middle aged and comfort driven, I actually found some Nine West platform heels that I could wear (I'm going to need this dress for formal night on a cruise) and have the dress clear the floor. Just be aware if you are short too it may need to be hemmed professionally for you. I sew and actually used to teach sewing, but I do not have a serger and didn't want to put a normal hem in this because I felt it would not drape and hang correctly with a traditional hem. I got the dress in the navy which is a dark traditional navy."

"I ordered the navy blue XL dress praying that it would fit my size 16, 40D figure. Finding a dress that is forgiving, never mind flattering, to my body type is hard to come by. So I was shocked and pleased to find that it fits like a glove. My friend told me I looked great and then asked if she could buy one in black. I feel comfortable in the dress at functions and I can move around without worrying if it is too tight or going to tear. The compliments I get while wearing it just make me excited for the next time I can wear it. I didn't give 'Fits true to size' a full five stars since I have trouble with the skirt length. I'm 5'6 and trip over the hem."

"I ordered this dress for a cruise and am very pleased! Altho it is a slinky jersey-type fabric, it has good weight, hangs nicely, and moves elegantly. I do not do 'sleeveless' anymore so this dress was perfect. After some searching, I was able to find some navy dressy sandals online so ship ahoy! Can't wait to wear it."

"Love my dress! So comfortable! Perfect design covers my arms, but seems sexier than that and still allows me to wear a bra because of the shoulder straps. Really needed to get rid of the static cling after shipping!!!!"

"Like everyone else, I wore the navy dress to a wedding...and thank goodness we didn't all show up in the same dress at the same wedding! I love THIS dress....I originally bought it to wear to a ballroom dance competition, but wore it to a wedding first. I am 5'3' and a size 14/16...I ordered both the large and XL and kept the large......What I love about this dress is that the neckline is extremely flattering and the 3/4 length sleeves are perfect for those less than fim upper arms....I too got lots of compliments and felt like a million bucks....its easy to dance in as well....does not ride up and you don't have to worry about bra straps showing....as to the ballroom dress competition, I may "stone it" and wear it for some smooth dances!"

"I travel a lot and we like to go to operas. It has been very hard to pack things which take up little room and do not wrinkle, yet look special. This dress solved all those problems. I have a large bust, small waist, and a tummy and can wear a 12 or 14 depending on the style and brand. This dress fits perfectly in a medium size and hides all my flaws. It is amazing and I recommend it with no hesitation."

"What a great dress. I purchased the XL because I wear a 16 & I'm fairly tall. I read all of the reviews on this dress before I placed my order. I am wearing this dress to a formal wedding in December. The dress fits true to scale, and as someone recently notes, if you are bigger than a C-cup, you may need to wear a lace camisole underneath. I am a D cup, and I'm undecided as to whether I need the camisole or not. This dress is flattering to all shapes because of the way it is designed with the shirring at the smallest part of the waist. The length is fabulous. I'm 5'8" with a 34" inseam, so getting a formal gown that is the perfect length to wear with 3 1/2" heels is troublesome at times. Not with this dress! There were a few people who wrote that they were disappointed with the fabric - not sure what they are thinking, because this is the perfect TRAVEL dress. It does NOT wrinkle. So if you're going a cruise or to a wedding and you have to pack this dress...do not worry. It is awesome. Great value & was here in 3 days time."

"The dress is beautiful and a real eye catcher. I wore it to a wedding and I received so many compliments. It really makes you feel elegant. The next time I wear it will be on a cruise. I wear a size 6 and ordered a Small which fit perfectly. For the money this dress will compare to any other dress in a higher price range."

"Loved this dress! Wore it to a friend's wedding and it was elegant and fit true to size except for the length. I'm 5'2 and had to have it shortened. But, even with the extra expense for tailoring, it was well worth the comfort and elegance of this dress :)"

"I wore this gown to my Neices evening wedding and I got alot of comments on how skinny I looked. For a size 14 that is music to our ears!! The Dress was so comfortable, all I had to do was hem about an inch and a half on bottom and I am only 5'3''. I ordered a large and the fit was perfect. The color Navy was very elegant with Silver accessories. I would highly recommend this Gown to all, I had a wonderful time and felt like a million bucks."

"I needed a dress for my sister's wedding that wasn't too formal but still dressy enough for the occasion. This fit the bill EXACTLY. I shortened the length to above the ankle so it didn't drag the floor (I'm 5'5"). Not great coverage for large-chested women, so D-cups and up may want to consider wearing a lacy camisole underneath to cover up that extra cleavage! Otherwise a great purchase. The best part is that you can roll it into a ball, stuff it in a plastic shopping bag for a week, and it's ready to wear (no wrinkles!) as soon as you pull it out. Who doesn't need a dress like that?"

"I bought this dress for a wedding and wanted something very nice but a little sexy since my boyfriend's ex wife would be attending the same event. I bought the navy and it is just beautiful; elegant and sexy, very nice drape to the fabric, very unique style and I received lots of complements. I wore this dress in July and again in September for another event and just love it. My only negative is I had to have it shortened because it is longer than I expected (I'm 5'5") but if you are taller or wear really high heels it will be perfect!"
