I'm planning on wearing this to my daughter's late July wedding. I love the style--wish there were more colors to choose from. I also changed the brooch and had it hemmed. It is very flattering and can't wait for the "rave reviews!"

The dress is very lovely. But, it is WAY too long for the average height woman. I'm 5'6" and it touches the floor. For the event I purchased this for I can get away with the length; but, if you want it tea length and you're not 5'10" you'll need to have it shortened. I would have given it 5 stars if the length was OK.

When ordering, I had to order the size smaller than I thought I needed. To my pleasant surprise the dress fit great and looking forward to wearing it. I have seen similar styles in the malls, (color, material, style)but like this dress so much more.

Bought dress for a wedding in June, haven't worn it yet but everyone I've shown it too can't believe how beautiful it is. I feel very classy in it and can't wait to get all dolled up for the wedding. The flow and the design of the top is very nicely done.

I wear this dress to my company party. I felt very pretty wearing it.
One thing...the dress is longer than it looks. I'm 5'8" tall and I had to cut about 6" off to get the dress to a Tea Lenght.

The dress is really pretty and travelled well even in the mail. I am 5'6" and it comes to the floor on me. This is longer than I expected from looking at the photo on the internet, but it will still work for my purpose. If you really need tea length, you will have to alter this unless you are taller than I. Otherwise the size 12 fits exactly as it should and it is a very flattering style.

I am disappointed in the length as now I have to go through the expense of having 3 layers shortened. Should have lengths for those of us who are 5'5" and shorter. I never used to be petite but these days I am considered short.

I am 5'5". As you know, most models are at least 5'9". Bought this specifically for it's tea length and neckline. Now I have an additional cost to have it shortened. Would be nice if models were more average. You don't have to be tall to be beautiful.
