I relied on previous reviewers before I purchased this dress for my son's wedding and was quite pleased with it. It does run a bit large at the top and does weigh a bit heavier with the designs on the top although I didn't find it a problem. I was hesitant on this purchase since his outside wedding was the first week of August (in Texas), but it wasn't too hot to wear for the length of time we were outside. There were no imperfections with the beads stitched on the dress - I loved how they sparkled with the lights! Although the bottom of the dress did appear a shade darker than the top I liked how the bottom of the gown resisted wrinkles when I wore it.
I received many compliments while wearing it and felt like a 52 year old princess in this dress!!

The dress was beautiful, but was large in the waist and bust for me. I probably should have ordered it in a smaller size. Because I needed it quickly for an out-of-town wedding, I did not have time to exchange it for a smaller size.
from Pgh PA on 8/5/2008
Bought this for my son's wedding but had to return it because it runs really large. I should have ordered a whole size smaller than I normally wear. And although it was very pretty, it was also very heavy. The beading on the top adds "weight" to the dress. Might be to hot for a spring or summer event.

I returned it
from Winston Salem NC on 7/30/2008
Top of dress a little heavy due to beading. Also in picture sleeves look 3/4 length, but when I received and tried on they were long sleeves.
from West Point, UT on 7/30/2008
I bought the dress a size smaller than I usually wear and it is perfect. The color is a bit darker than I imagined it would be but it is still pretty.
from Raleigh, NC on 7/24/2008
This dress is for my step-daughters wedding at the beach in October. I tried the dress on as soon as I received it and it fit like a glove. I'm kind of thick through my middle and it hides a multitude of sins! Very comfy - glides right over my figure and the bottom leaves plenty of room for dancing at the reception!
from Aurora, Indiana on 7/22/2008
My purchases came even earlier than I expected, which was great because I wanted to make sure if I had any exchanges they could be done in a timely fashion. My daughter's wedding is in September, so the color is perfect and the fit was even better. This wasn't my first transaction with Chadwicks and won't be my last. Have a vacation planned in October! Thanks again, Chadwicks!
from RUSSELLVILLE, KY on 7/10/2008
I bought this dress for my son's wedding and I fell in love with it when I saw it. The picture doesn't do it justice. The beaded top was beautiful and I received so many compliments on it. It is very slimming and so comfortable. I was dreading a long day in a dress and heels, but this dress was flowy and so easy to move in. I can't say enough about it. Thanks a million or should I say a thousand.
from Falls Church, VA on 7/8/2008
Although I will need to wear a shaper to smooth out some imperfections on my part. I do look forward to wearing my new evening dress and getting the reviews. I am feeling very good about my choice.
from Manchester, CT on 7/5/2008
I was hesitant to order, but when the dress came in I was thrilled with everything about it!!!
from Portland, Or on 6/24/2008
I am wearing this dress to a formal occasion. It will be perfect!
from Chicago suburbs, IL on 6/24/2008
Dress was very flattering for my plus size frame and would recommend ordering a size smaller than your regular size. The color is slightly muted/lighter than I expected. It's very comfortable and fit perfect until I lost weight quicker than could exchange for another smaller size before my son's wedding.
from Epointe, Mi on 6/24/2008
I wore the dress to my daughter's wedding. I had ordered a dress from a bridal shop and it came damaged, the re-order never came. A friend I work with ordered the dress and when it came I thought the dress was exceptional and received some many complements the day of wedding. I would/will order again
from Clinton Township, Michigan on 6/20/2008
Planned on wearing this dress to my daughter's wedding , but after trying it on the top was just too hot to think I could wear it in August, now in January would be a different story. The dress is stunning.

I am going to wear this for a wedding. It is exactly what I was looking for. Even the color I wanted. Wish it came in black also.
from NH on 6/18/2008
Bought this for my son's upcoming wedding. I went to local bridal shops and also ordered several dresses on-line that I returned. This dress fits and feels wonderful. So happy to have finally found "THE" dress.
from fortcollins, colorado on 6/17/2008
i am wearing to my daughters wedding
it is very classy and the top is very sparkly
the top part of the dress is a little heavy, may be too hot.
from Orlando, FL on 6/16/2008
It's a great dress...
from Whitman, MA on 6/11/2008
This dress was perfect for the evening wedding I attended. Only fault I found is that it didn't come in my size/petite. The dress was long and I had to have it shorted for my 5'1" frame. I got the green....and got many compliments.
from Texas on 6/10/2008
I absolutely loved this dress. However, it had been back-ordered for a long time and when I received it I had already chosen a different dress to wear. I returned it sadly.
from Erie, PA on 6/8/2008
I wore this gown for my son's wedding in Connecticut. I received many compliments for choosing it. It was comfortable and elegant.I have a difficult time finding clothes that fit well and look good on me. Chadwick's has excellent shipping and return procedures.Don't be shy about ordering it in different sizes to find the best fit - just be prompt about returning the one(s) you do not want. It worked for me.
from Bryant, IN on 6/1/2008
I was very pleased when my mock-wrap dress finally arrived. It fit perfectly, is comfortable and slimming. The color was not quite what it appears on the website... I purchased the celery and it is more of a sage green. I liked the color but other buyers beware that all the colors must be darker than they appear. I will wear this to my son's wedding in late June and thank you Chadwick's for plus sizes!
from Marquette, MI on 5/21/2008
I love the product, however I must return it as it does not fit!
from Hayward, Ca on 5/20/2008
Dress was beautiful, but it was damaged on the sleeve. It had black marks like it had been caught in machinery and the beads were missing.
from haddam, connecticut on 5/20/2008
I really loved the style of the dress,however I wanted it for a California wedding and i found that the top part of the dress is heavy with the sequins...wish it was lighter...had to return it...very flattering fit!

from Richland, WA on 5/16/2008
Top of dress was too heavy looking for the skirt of the dress....almost as though they did not go together.
from Chicago, IL on 5/14/2008
I am a professional vocalist. It is important to me to look my best at all times. Your special occasion dresses are perfect for my use.
from Augusta GA on 5/6/2008
This dress is very attractive. I was very disappointed in the color. I ordered the pink dress. It appears to be beige when you put it on, it is only barely pink. Also the sizes run very large. IF the dress had fit I would have worn it to my son's wedding.
I had to return this dress. I liked the style - but the color was way off. The top of the dress looks beige - not pink. Also it runs large.
from Houston, TX on 4/28/2008
This dress is beautiful & very elegant. I would've liked the skirt even better in chiffon, but it's still lovely. If you're big busted, the bodice will be tight, tho' - it's lined.
from New York on 4/18/2008
I Purchased the dress to wear to my sons wedding in October. I did not find it to heavy as others have indicated. However, I am short waisted, and "pear" shaped, and the dress bunches at the waist on me. I am still deciding if I will have it altered or send it back and start looking at seperates. It is otherwise a beautiful dress, and very flattering. Falls nicely.
from Illinois on 4/16/2008
I ordered this product by size I usually wear, not by the size chart and it was too large. I did like the dress but it didn't fit although I feel if it would have fit it would have been a very flattering and comfortable dress.
from Boston MA on 4/15/2008
To be "slimming" the bodice should have been longer. Beads feel from the bodice like rain.
Skirt moves beaurtifully.
from south dakota on 4/9/2008
I was very impressed when I received my dress. Unfortunately, it is too big. I will have to return it, and it is too late to order another. But, I have ordered alot from Chadwicks in the past, before I married. The size is not Chadwicks fault. I will be ordering again. Thank you.
from near St Louis, MO on 4/8/2008
I love this dress - unfortunately the one I received came in horrible condition. There was a hole in the shoulder, several beads missing from back with tears in the fabric (beads were not to be found in bag - so did it happen before shipping?), even scotch tape on hanger straps! I thought maybe this one had been worn and returned, but why wouldn't they check that before shipping!!! Disappointed to say the least! Will not reorder for fear of a repeat & getting too close to daughter's wedding day!

I love the style of dress. Quality was poor though, and color was not as it looked in photo. This pink was faded looking.
from Fort Collins, CO on 3/25/2008
This dress will be perfect for my son's wedding. It is stunning yet comfortable. I had read some ones comment that the dress was too heavy, but I find it just fine as the bottom is so light and flowing. Of course the top will be a bit heavy due to the beautiful bead work but that also allows it to lay nicely on the body. I will also use it a month later for a cruise we are taking! I am tall, 5'11" and it was perfect!
from Knoxville, TN on 3/25/2008
I bought this dress to wear for my daughter's wedding. It is lovely, but I did think from the picture that the sleeves would be sheer. They aren't, which may be a problem for a late June wedding.
from Grand Junction, Colorado on 3/25/2008
I bought this for my daughter's wedding as I didn't want anything that would make me feel "matronly." This dress makes me feel 10 years younger.
from Braintree, MA on 3/21/2008
I thought it was a pretty dress in the cataloge but the photo really didn't do it justice.
The beading is beautiful! The fabric is really soft and it is just a very comfortable dress.
from Birmingham, AL on 3/20/2008
I was desparate...it was Monday, wedding Saturday. Found this online, ordered it. Got here on time and fit perfectly. My grown son said, "You look hot, mom!" This dress hid all the lumps and bumps beautifully.
from Pa on 3/19/2008
The dress is a pretty color and fits better than I thought it would. I Just have to shorten it a bit and have it taken in a little.
from DE on 3/14/2008
Purchased this for concerts on the stage, but returned it. Good enough product - skimpy on overall length and length of top part - way too short for a larger size. It didn't seem as if the top expanded proportionatly with the size. Also, I ordered a size larger than I always wear, and it fit. So, I guess the overall size is small.
from Memphis TN on 3/5/2008
The dress was for my son's wedding.
It was prefect for such a special occasion.
from Minneapolis, Mn on 3/4/2008
I'm short waisted so it wasn't good for me but I really LOVED it. Great value with gorgeous beading and chiffon color.
from jonesboro arkansas on 3/4/2008
I love the dress. It's exactly what I need and is comfortable to boot. I did not order the size Chadwick's chart said I needed based on measurements. Rather I ordered the size I normally wear. It's a good thing too, otherwise I would have ordered about 4 sizes too large! What's up with that?
from Portland, OR on 2/27/2008
I am using this dress for my sons wedding. It is very beautiful and comfortable to wear. I would recommend it to anyone.
from Tempe, Az on 2/26/2008
Perfect for the mother of the groom
from Virginia on 2/20/2008
This dress is perfect for the afternoon garden wedding in May. It is a perfect fit and comfortable. I saw nothing like it in the stores.
