Loved this dress when it arrived, but the bust was way too tight. I'm a size 14 and a c-cup, I was spilling over the top. Too bad, because it's very pretty & a very flattering style.

I purchased this gown for my bridesmaids, and it is absolutely gorgeous! Not to mention that it was a steal, being half the cost of other bridal retail stores. I fell in love with it so much that I am going to order one for myself! I would highly recommend that brides start to consider what Chadwick's has to offer in their special occasion dresses for their bridesmaids. ~Annette

As soon as I opened the package I did not like this dress. The chiffon felt rough and looked wrinkled and I did not like that the beading was a lighter brown than the dress (some of the beads looked like a bronze color). Also, this dress was way too long (I am 5'6"). Over-all I just thought this dress was cheap looking and unattractive.

I bought this hoping for a great ball gown, but boy, was I dissapointed.
I am a 36 DD and there is no way I can go out of the house wearing this dress. My breasts were falling out! This is not made for a big chested gal, maybe for someone B or smaller.
Pretty upset, but this HAS to go back!

The product description of this dress is right on. It truly is a gorgeous dress with dark beads of varying shades that make the dress so elegant. The only negative for me was that it ran very long. You'd have to wear with a very high heel. But well worth the price with that aside.

I was dressed and ready to go to a Gala function and after driving away from the house, I felt the zipper give way and had to go back home to change. The dress was not tight at all so it was unexplainable.
I was thankful that I had another dress to wear but I was very disappointed because the dress was beautiful and it fit great.

It is longer than I expected from the picture, but it's not necessarily a bad thing. I'm 5' 7'' and a size 6. I will need to wear at least 2-inch heels (and it will still be full length). The bust is really snug and I'm only a 34B. I managed to zip it all the way, with moderate difficulty. HOWEVER, it is amazingly flattering. I look really slim in it, and the top is very sexy. Shows cleavage without being overtly sexy. If you're pear-shaped like me, this is a great dress for you. Plenty of space in the skirt. Go up in size if you are busty.
It would have been wonderful had it fit!

I loved the dress, ordered my normal size and couldn't begin to zip it up. A little snug maybe but this was no where near my regular size. I loved the dress and was very dissapointed.

Dress is very tight on the bust and extremely long, over a foot of extra length! Too many layers for me to hem.

My cousin is getting married in a castle in Scotland in July and this dress will be perfect. I can't give an accurate review right now but I will report back. The mother of the bride loves it.

Beautiful dress; however, dress was much larger than anticipated and way "longer" than appeared - I did return the item, which I had purchased for a wedding, but will definately purchase more items from Chadwicks -

The dress is beautiful. I had to have it hemmed though. I am 5'5" and it was way too long. I am wearing it for my very non-traditional wedding this spring.

The picture online shows the dress on the model hitting her at or above ankle length - which is what I was hoping for. However the dress is a few inches longer than my legs. I am guessing the model is at least 6'4"?

Although the dress was beautiful and the quality
was good, the dress was way to long. I'm 5'6"
and in order for it to fit me I would have to be
5'10". In the catalog it looks like it is a tea
length. I would have to spend additional money
for alterations. I am sending it back.
Thank you.
Simply beautiful. Very well sewn.
