This was one of 2 dresses that I ordered at the same time. While this was an attractive dress, it didn't have the WOW factor that my other choice did. Also, I was very disappointed that you would ship a dress that had what appeared to be grease stains on it. Had it been my first choice I would have had to send it back anyway!!!!

This dress was fabulous. The only problem I had was with the color. It was a little 'dull' and seemed to blend in with my skin color. The lace top added nice detail, but again, it just needed something to liven it up.

I loved the idea of this dress. I only wish the lace bodice had been even an inch longer, with the shirring beginning at that point and going through the waist.
It just was a little off. Too bad. I was hoping it would be the perfect Mother of the Bride dress.

I was so disappointed... the dress is beautiful. I am average sized bust and a true size 12, however, I could not zip the back up. I would not have had any room to move at all.
Cut very small in the bust, but a beautiful dress.
Had to return it.

The dress fits perfectly! I plan to wear it to my son's summer outdoor wedding. I have a pear shape figure which is flattered by this style. The waist band is at my waist. This concerned me since the picture makes it appear to be higher. I would also suggest this dress if you have flabby arms like I do. The dress covers them elegantly with the sheer fabric. The color matches the picture as well. I'm extremely satisfied.

I bought this for myself (grandmother of the bride) but decided it is much better suited for the Mother of the Bride so I am ordering another size and giving it to my daughter. It is a beautiful soft pink with heavy beading on the top. The flow of the skirt is very flattering and the fit of the bodice and sleeves are perfect for evening wear.
