This gown is gorgeous! The fabric is a bit heavy but feels great! It's snug in the bodice but not as tight as it may look. May not recommend for petites because of the amount of fabric.Would love to wear this to a formal event!

I wore this dress to a reception, an awards banquet, and the afterparty, for a total of 7 hours! It was comfortable for all the standing, sitting, eating, and walking I did during the entire event. I didn't even need to wear Spanx! The twisting at the top helps a lot if you are relatively flat (I am.) The pleats throughout the skirt are beautiful, and there is just the right amount of fabric there that makes it look elegant and not too flowy. I'm 5'10" and I wore a 3" heel, and the regular length was perfect. The fabric of the dress is really fantastic, and I felt like a princess in it.

This is a really gorgeous dress. The fabric is heavy and has just the right amount of sheen - it was perfect for an outdoor autumn wedding in NYC! The skirt consists of a lot of fabric, which I loved, and the pleating on the bodice was beautiful. I thought the unique back was a nice touch too :) The ONLY thing I was unhappy about what the cheap zipper. When oh when will designers start using decent zippers in these fabulous dresses!? It took 2 people besides myself to get the zipper all of the way up, but once I was in, I was golden.

This is a lovely dress but very unflattering. It seemed very well made with beautiful, heavy fabric, but the fit just did nothing for me, even though I had ordered the right size for my body. I think it might work better on someone with a smaller chest, as the top of the dress has many layers of fabric that really added bulk on me. I did not wear it to my event.
