It is a little bit big in the breasts but nothing that a push-up bra cant fix! I really love how flowy it is! All of my friends are loving it! The shoulders do tend to fall off.One more thing is that it is a shad lighter in reality than it is in the picture. But I love it and cant wait to wear it.

I really loved this dress. The fit was very good but the cap sleeves were a little loose on my shoulders. The pail pink would look good on someone with a great tan. I am 5'4" tall and even with 3" heels it was still too long. I'm returning it.

This was my wedding dress. I'm a size 14, so not slender, but people were wowed and said I looked "like a princess". I love, love, love this dress. I can wear it now to other people's weddings. Recommend it highly. I needed to shorten the shoulder straps, but that was easily done and the dress looked fabulous.

I have been searching for the perfect dress for my son's wedding in July. The Mother of the Groom (Bride) dresses that I saw were so maternally and others were just to revealing. This dress is a beautiful soft pink, the fit is very comfortable, no need for any uncomfortable undergarments. The beading is well done and not over done. I'm 5'8' and the length is fine for me if I wear at least a 2" heel. So if you are shorter you probably will need it hemmed. I'm looking forward to wearing it and being comfortable all day.

I bought this dress to wear to my daughter's wedding. The wedding is in 10 days and i cant wait to show it off. It fits perfectly and is VERY flattering for my body type. The only thing that i found is that the cap sleeves sit way out on my shoulder and they always want to fall down, but i got that "body tape" and it holds everything exactly where i want it. Overall i LOVE the dress. This is the 3rd dress that I've gotten from chadwicks and i love them all. I would recommend seriously considering ordering a size smaller. I usually wear a 14, which one of the dresses i got was a 14, but i sent it back and got a 12 and that size fits so much better.

I actually used this dress in a ballroom dance competition! I danced the Waltz, Tango and Fox Trot in it!

This dress really flattered my figure - I am 5 feet tall, 150 lbs, with no waist. This dress made me feel beautiful!

The color is perfect - beautiful! I don't know why other people complained about it.

I did have to get it altered - it needed to be shortened. Also, the sleeves tend to fall off the shoulders, so they had to be tightened. Still, for someone like myself with a "problem" figure, this dress was the answer! It was worth paying the extra money to get it altered.

The dress is very elegant and flattering, except for the small problem of static. The lower layer and consquently the top layers stick to me instead of draping down nicely. If you can avoid this problem with a good slip, it's very nice. Also it seems longer than I expected even though I checked the measurements before I bought it. So I need pretty high heels.

This dress was beautifully made with nice detailing, but the color was not the soft pink in the catalog, but actually a grayed out antique rose. It was too old for my 17 year old's prom dress, but would be nice for an older woman who likes very subdued colors. The bodice was cut long and we needed to take in the sleeves to get a good fit.

The design on the gown was unique, feminine, and pretty for a teenager to wear to the prom. However, the beading was only in the front, so the back looked plain. The top sheer layer of fabric was attached to the lining in the side seams, which kept it from lying flat on the sides and in the back. My teenager was disappointed in the details and the drape of the dress.
