This is an absolutely beautiful gown that looks good on and truly flatters your figure. I had bought it and a couple of other dresses to decide on for my wedding. Although I picked another dress for my wedding, I kept this one to wear to other special occasions because I liked it so much!

I feel like a fairytale princess of long ago in this flowy, pink chiffon, very feminine gown! The shirred bodice, sweetheart neckline, and sparkly beaded trim make this a stunning design, suitable for a formal wedding or other dressy evening event. Note: For me, this dress requires a supportive strapless undergarment for the best look.

Following the reviews I ordered one size more and it fitted perfect. Although the color was not true to the picture I prefer the darker pink. The length is perfect with heels (I am 5'3") The sleeves do not stay put so I will have to use a stick tape :0. Over all Great buy. the only thing that still bothers me is that it wrinkles easily.

Very pretty and feminine. Runs 1-2 sizes small, then the shoulders fell down and needed adjusted. I needed it hemmed a little, also, but still worth the price compared to other dresses for the quality and style. Wore it for mother-of-the-bride. The overlay hides additional flaws. More of a pinkish mauve.

It is a little bit big in the breasts but nothing that a push-up bra cant fix! I really love how flowy it is! All of my friends are loving it!

I have been searching for the perfect dress for my son's wedding in July. The Mother of the Groom (Bride) dresses that I saw were so maternally and others were just to revealing. This dress is a beautiful soft pink, the fit is very comfortable, no need for any uncomfortable undergarments. The beading is well done and not over done. I'm 5'8' and the length is fine for me if I wear at least a 2" heel. So if you are shorter you probably will need it hemmed. I'm looking forward to wearing it and being comfortable all day.

I bought this dress to wear to my daughter's wedding. The wedding is in 10 days and i cant wait to show it off. It fits perfectly and is VERY flattering for my body type. The only thing that i found is that the cap sleeves sit way out on my shoulder and they always want to fall down, but i got that "body tape" and it holds everything exactly where i want it. Overall i LOVE the dress. This is the 3rd dress that I've gotten from chadwicks and i love them all. I would recommend seriously considering ordering a size smaller. I usually wear a 14, which one of the dresses i got was a 14, but i sent it back and got a 12 and that size fits so much better.

I actually used this dress in a ballroom dance competition! I danced the Waltz, Tango and Fox Trot in it!

This dress really flattered my figure - I am 5 feet tall, 150 lbs, with no waist. This dress made me feel beautiful!

The color is perfect - beautiful! I don't know why other people complained about it.

I did have to get it altered - it needed to be shortened. Also, the sleeves tend to fall off the shoulders, so they had to be tightened. Still, for someone like myself with a "problem" figure, this dress was the answer! It was worth paying the extra money to get it altered.

 
Pretty dress with a little problem

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The dress is very elegant and flattering, except for the small problem of static. The lower layer and consquently the top layers stick to me instead of draping down nicely. If you can avoid this problem with a good slip, it's very nice. Also it seems longer than I expected even though I checked the measurements before I bought it. So I need pretty high heels.

This dress was beautifully made with nice detailing, but the color was not the soft pink in the catalog, but actually a grayed out antique rose. It was too old for my 17 year old's prom dress, but would be nice for an older woman who likes very subdued colors. The bodice was cut long and we needed to take in the sleeves to get a good fit.

The design on the gown was unique, feminine, and pretty for a teenager to wear to the prom. However, the beading was only in the front, so the back looked plain. The top sheer layer of fabric was attached to the lining in the side seams, which kept it from lying flat on the sides and in the back. My teenager was disappointed in the details and the drape of the dress.

We ordered this dress for my daughter's first prom. She put it on, and instantly, we gasped. Everything was perfect. I love shopping with Chadwicks because their clothes fit so well.
