Really nice dress. I was afraid that I would have to have it pressed because it came in a bag crammed in my mailbox. I could not believe it does not wrinkle at all. It fits really well but for me it was a little long. I am only 5'2" so I will have to have it hemmed. Everyone one thinks it is a two piece. I will be wearing it to my son's wedding.

This was the first of two dresses I picked out and ordered from Chadwick's for my daughter's wedding. I absolutely love it. It's comfortable, doesn't need any alterations, and is perfect for a fall Maine wedding....but my husband and daughter like the other dress better (which is too long and needs to be hemmed). What to do? Keep them both? I can always wear it to another wedding or on a cruise...hmmm...that's a thought! I would recommend this dress highly. The quality and comfort of the material is exceptional. Thank you Chadwick's!

I bought this dress for a 40th wedding aniversary party. I have red hair and it really looks great! The beading is beautiful along with the cutwork design along the hemline on the top and the sleeves.
I am 5-8 and it was longer, than I had wanted it to be, ankle length,so I shortened it about 5 inches to suit the look I wanted.

I love the assymetry of the beaded overlay. The antique gold bugle beads give this a vintage quality. It was much too long, however, even if I'd wanted floor length (the picture on the model looked shorter), so I had it shortened to tea length. I also had the ribbons that hold it on a hanger cut out, so that needed to be sewn up. They are right on the seam of the neckline; no one could wear it that way without them showing! There were also several lines of beads coming off [...]. It seemed easier to sew them on than return the dress, and I didn't know that I wouldn't have the same problem if I exchanged it. So, I will enjoy this dress on my special occasion, but it cost me quite a bit more than I thought.

I ordered 3 dresses for my son's wedding and chose another besides this one as it would have been too warm that day. However, it would have been my choice if the day was to be a bit cooler. The dress does seem to run a bit larger than usual but is very comfortable and flattering. Love the deep chocolate color and beading.

I love this dress! I did have this dress hemmed. I am 5' 3" and really would like to see this dress offered in a petite size for that reason.

I plan to wear this dress to a formal dinner in the fall. It will be perfect for this occasion. I have bought other formal, evening dresses from Chadwick's to wear to these dinners (we attend 4 or 5 a year) and I usually get compliments on my Chadwick dresses. Being an over 60 shopper, I look for things with elbow, 3/4 or long sleeves. I also look for things that disguise or hide that over 60 tummy. I am to the point where I need Chadwick's to stock evening dresses with these 2 criteria that are NOT pink, blue, pale green, black, ivory or beige. How about turquoise, orange, red, rust or copper, and kelly green?
