Although the style was flattering (I'm 5'10"), it would probably be too long for the average. The color was okay but the cascade in the front was a bit much. It made the dress look like a nightgown. I have to return the dress.

I purchased this dress to wear as my wedding dress (2nd marriage, fall, informal) and i loved the way it looked online. I was hoping that it would be close enough size wise that I would only have to do small alterations. I was very pleased that it fits perfectly and I do not have to do a thing to it other than have it pressed. It looks great on, it feels great, is very comfortable, and the color is beautiful. I probably won't use that jacket(not that flattering on me) but it is a great value for the price you pay. I can't wait to wear it!

The dress is a lovely color but leave the bolero home if you're looking for a more modern look. I had to return this dress unfortunately b/c it was too long and it too tight around the bust...but it was very pretty.

Very pretty dress; shoulder straps too long; I was prepared to shorten because of my 5'4" height, but would have had to cut the straps and shorten them as well; Also more form fitting than appeared in photo. Dress was returned.

This dress is extremely flattering for women that are top-heavy or have wider hips. The material is form fitting up top and then flows on the bottom half. I'm 5'11", top heavy, and have a harder time showing off my smaller waist because of it. But this dress does wonderful!

This will need some altering to fit me and, although I decided it's too dressy for my daughter's picnic wedding, I'm keeping it for a future event. The fabric is nice.It has a soft shimmer that doesn't really hide bulges in the back but the style in front hides tummy. The mocha color is subtle and season-less.It would blend in with almost any color scheme-for a wedding for instance-any time of year. I wish every dress came with a jacket. I found it helpful,when I read another review,that it does have a built in bra of sorts.It's that area that will need to be taken up in the straps and possibly in on the sides to work for me, but it would be fine as is for someone taller and/or with bigger bust. A classic look for a woman of any age for any special occasion.

I hope to wear this at my sons wedding in sept. I love the feel, it is like jammies, don't know about wrinkling as i havn't worn it yet. I hope to not have to wear a slip with it, the fabric is pretty non see thru, not sure about static cling tho. I din't realize the top was padded that is great also.

No prom dress - no budget - no possibilities. Chadwick's made a lifetime dream come true. A real live Cinderella story - everything but the pumpkin coach and the prince! Unfortunately, no pictures available until after the princess goes to the ball (June 7, 2008)- a knockout for sure!

It has a bolero jacket, yet younger styling. This is very hard to find for us "mature" women. We have several affairs we attend each year and I can't wait to wear this one....

I'll admit it, I didn't expect this dress would work out. I was fully prepared to return it if/when I tried it on. Much to my delight, it fit like a glove and was very flattering to my medium plus shape. And it had a built in bra top so I don't have to worry about a special bra or anything. It looks very expensive and I'm actually looking forward to my step-son's wedding so I can wear my new dress.
