Very comfortable but just not quite "mother of the groom". Classic styling, maybe a little bit thin but good for a summer event.

the top was too big and the zippered buckled bad enough that I had to take it to be altered. I even tried to order another one and it had the same problem.

This dress is going to be perfect for the wedding I'm a part of. The only thing is that it's a little short. I'm only 5'5" or so and I will need to wear a short pair of heels so I don't look like I'm ready for a flood. I'm never usually worried about things being long enough....

I got this dress in brown for my brother's wedding, a casual evening affair on the water. It was perfect. Plus, it was easy to move around in-- I was holding my 2-year old during a large part of the party, and didn't feel like I had to worry about the dress sliding out of place. I'm 5'10" and the length was fine. I also just wore the dress to the graduation where I teach, and even did a TV interview wearing the dress and felt comfortable when I saw myself on the TV news in it. Overall, a great dress.

I ordered the Avocado color. It fits great. I'm 5' 7'' and got a size 6. It's long but when I'm barefoot, the hem falls about half inch above the ground, so I could still wear flats. I'm a 34B and the bust fit perfectly. This dress really could be dressed up or down very easily. I am considering it for a friend's wedding, my best friend's baby's Christening, or for my Rehearsal Dinner. You may need Spanx. The silk fabric is very cool (good for warm weather).

I loved this gown, it was not appropriate for the occasion I needed it for, but it is beautiful. The only negative is that it is silk and very see- through...I was worried I would not be able to find a foundation piece that would work so I returned it. It is stunning though.
I already own two of these.

This dress is gorgeous. When it arrived, I didn't like the color. I had ordered Green Tea and it is Grass Green or Emerald, so I thought I would return it, but I knew to try it on first. I look so fabulous in it, who cares what color it is?!? It fits as though custom made. I bought the 4P which is perfect in every way. I am short in body length and the proportions are perfect. It looks better on me than on the model, as arrogant as that sounds. The silk fabric is lovely.

I bought this for a wedding. It is a nice dress but fits on the small side -- particularly the high waist. I ordered my usual size in the dress and could hardly breathe when I zipped it. Reluctantly, I returned it and ordered the next size up. Again, the same problem with the piece of fabric that runs across my ribcage. I'm going to have it altered.

I had to return the dress because the cut was odd (read: bunchy in weird ways) and too much work would need to be done to have it look nice (as in, it was cut wrong). I'm a size 6, and it wasn't flattering, not matter how nice the price!

I fell in love with this dress when I tried it on, and I got tons of compliments at the wedding. It's a must have for any woman's closet!!

Sadly, I will be returning the dress. The cut is very poor - and while it fits me, there are certain areas (like the zipper area) where it puckers oddly. In general, it is not flattering. I would need to have it heavily altered to make it look good, and honestly, it isn't worth it. I'm a size 6, so in essence, I shouldn't have any problems but I most certainly did.
One thing I did like was the bottom of the dress - it flowed nicely.
