This dress is as described; the waistband was too wide for me but I liked the dress. I will be returning it and remember to purchase with a narrower waistband.

I haven't worn the dress yet- it is for an early August wedding. It look nice on. I ordered a full size larger than my usual based on posts. The zipper is a cheap plastic one and I cannot imagine the dress lasting through more than one or two wearings. It is fine, but not as elegant as pictured (partially b/c the color is tan instead of ivory)

The dress is very flattering, but is tight through the bust as others have written. Had a heck of a time finding the proper bra to wear with it because of the fit. I purchased this for a summer wedding and it's more daring than any of my other clothing. The fabric is beautiful, but the background color is more of a pale tan than white/ivory as the description shows/states.

My son is getting married this month - outdoor wedding. I hadn't been able to find a dress until now. This fits, colors are great. I am going to wear this dress, with a wrap around my shoulders if necessary for the wedding and then again on my cruise the week after the wedding!
Going to get my money's worth!

This dress will be perfect for a wedding this September, since I am still losing weight. It should fit perfectly! It does seem to be smaller than I would have expected for that size, however.

The fit was good. The color and print were terrible. The dress was described as ivory but when I received it the background color was a drab tan. Although the dress fit well, the color was ugly and made me look washed out. Also, I felt that the print made me look much larger than a size 10. I ended up returning it.

The dress is very flattering. I purchased it to wear to a wedding; however have to send it back as the bust is too small. I purchased a size larger and it is really cut small in the bustline. I am not a busty girl. What a shame .. I really liked this dress.

The beading redeems the quality of the dress. The dress does not run true to size. I'm a size 6 and fit perfectly in this dress size 8. It's perfect for the summer wedding I am attending. Also, I got the thumbs up from my picky husband.

I purchased this dress for my daughter's spring wedding. The dress design is very flattering and the empire waistline falls over any troublesome areas. Very versatile and appropriate for special occasions. Looked great with a wrap. Bonus: has red beading and sequins randomly placed throughout the pattern. I felt pretty in it. Loved it!

Pros:
Attractive Design, Comfortable

Poor Fit, Would prefer side zipper

The dress is beautiful. However it did not fit me well. It puckers at the mid-back where the zipper ends. Fit would be better with a side zipper as advertised in catalog.Item received had back zipper.
