wish that you have separates clothes for special occasion. my bottom part is a 16 and my upper part is 12. very hard to find fitted clothes that I don't have to alter. most of you separates look very business.

the dress was very pretty as pictured but the chiffon used on the top was very thick and added inches to my bustline. While the satin was nice it was not as special as the picture made it look. i returned the dress.

I bought this dress to wear to my son's wedding. I love the style and the size was a perfect fit. The dress was only available in one color that being Celadon(pronounced /sɛlɘdɔn/) definition: is a color that is a pale tint of spring green. The color is not even close to having a tint of green it is definitely a Tan color. Though being disappointed in the color at first I tried the dress on and loved it. The color should be corrected on line so as not to mislead future shoppers.

the color is great "celedon" its like a celery color really pretty,the fabric is great its like a satin or say silk shangtung,the style is classy the jacket should have a little stretch so it will be easier to get on and off as well to fit comfortable not so tight.The outfit is too short about 6"above knees.it should be 25 to 27" from waist to knee to look correct.the photo is misleading.i"m 5ft4" and weight 148lbs this outfit was 6"above my knees. again i like the color,style.i hope chadwicks can correct the other issues with this garment.

I ordered this for my daughter's August garden casual wedding. I loved the style & the bolero jacket was a good style for me. [...]the color was not quite what I expected, the length was above the knee rather than just below as pictured in the catalog, and there was a small black mark on the shoulder of the jacket.

Perfect outfit for special occassions like wedding, baptism, etc....
but I find the V neckline too low.
Could Chadwick's do something about that for
the sake of future customers. Very fragile material, always needs to handle with care when worn or in keeping for future use.
Thank you.

I regretably had to return this beautiful dress! I'm a 14-16 through the bust and a 10-12 everywhere else and the size 12 I ordered was too tight through the bodice. I was sure if I ordered one or two sizes up it would have just looked baggy everywhere else! However, if you are a "true 12" (or any other size) this is a beautiful dress. Very sophisticated and flattering! It's cut pretty low, so take that into account if you don't want to expose too much cleavage.
