The style was very flattering, I'm very petite, but I wouldn't be caught in public with that fabric. It looked like a limp tuutuu!

This is a beautiful dress. Love the color. It's very comfortable. My problem with it is it has so much material on the back that is gathered - I looked like a linebacker! If you are small in the back and chest - this would be a great dress. It is also cut very high in the back - like a normal shirt would be which was not the style I expected. I like a little back to show on an evening gown.

The style of the dress was beautful. It was exactly what I was looking for but the puffiness of the material at the top of the dress made it feel like I had big shoulder pads on. Not very femine.

This dress is just beautiful! I bought it in black. The fit is very flattering on my 5' 2", 145 lb frame. I am excited to wear it to my brother-in-law's upcoming wedding!

This is the dress I chose to wear to my daughter's wedding in August. It fits well, is very comfortable but a bit too long for petite. I will need to get it shortened about a half an inch. I'm 5'2 and will wear heels. The mesh overlay is great for hiding bulges and is great for a mature waist line and hips. I was afraid my arms would look big with just the pleated portrait collar draping over the shoulders, but it minimized them and made them look longer.
