This dress has been in their catalog for years. I wore the offwhite one in size 12P in 2004 for my 2nd wedding, and the fit was exact, fabric was nice, no wrinkles and great compliments. I just ordered the black one, same size and the fit isn't the same. It's far too small, and I'm even 10lbs lighter now. The chest especially, and the fabric and construction is slightly different than the white one still in my closet. Seems like they changed the manufacturer, etc.

This dress was a great fit, and for the price I was very pleased. The top material was a little lighter/thinner weight then I had hoped so I think it would be perfect for a Spring/Summer formal function. Very flattering design, and comfortable as well.
LOVE THIS DRESS!! Fits to a tee!!

The off the shoulder sleeves are very restrictive so if raising your arms to dance the whole dress comes up and range of motion is small. Maybe good for someone larger on the bottom and smaller on top.

I love this dress but it took me three times before I got the right size. I ordered my size and it was too tight in the arms and across the back. The next size, same problem. So I ordered two sizes bigger than my normal size and although it is long and needs to be hemmed, it fits across the back and in the arms.

It's very pretty, dainty & delicate. I ordered the size I wore BEFORE I lost weight & it would not go up on my arms far enough to to get it zipped all the way up. It would be better worn by a small framed person. It was purchased to be worn as a bridesmaid dress. I have to return it.

I needed a dress for a very special occasion, my sons wedding. Any fancy dress in the stores or special order does not come in petite and they order sizes that do not fit and need tons of alterations that cost so much that you pay twice for the dress. This one is just right.

I bought this dress to wear to my daughter's wedding. I love the color and the style. I ordered it in a size 10 and it was slightly large. I had it altered so that the sleeves would not fall down onto my arms. I also had it altered slightly in the waist, but lengthwise it was perfect. Maybe I should have ordered a size 10, but I didn't want it to be too tight. I am very pleased with the dress and it is perfect for the wedding.

I'm wearing the dress in June as mother of the bride. The shoulders are too wide but that's because my body top is a 10, my middle is a 14 and my bottom is a 12 so it's not the fault of the dress. I took it to an alterations shop to adjust to shoulders. The dress feels really comfortable and looks very attractive on.

This is definitely a special occasion dress and is gorgeous -- especially the pink champagne color. However, I ordered one size up so the top would fit but the bottom was way too long and much too large even though a petite. I sent it to be tailored because I like the dress and felt it worth the extra cost. I had the dress taken in 1" on each side and the bottom shortened to tea length rather than floor length, which will make it more practical all around.

I purchased this dress as the mother of the bride.
It is simple yet elegant. I usually do not wear clothes that are off the shoulder but this dress has a cuff underneath that secures the sleeve. I measured myself including length and the dress does fit.

I love the dress - I ordered it to wear to my second wedding. The only drawback was the sleeves were far too tight (in its defense, this is often a problem for me) - I ended up having them removed, making the dress strapless. It works beautifully that way too.
Not consistant with size chart.
