Lovely, comfortable dress.
Fit was solid but material doesn't give at all so I went up a size for breathing room. Wore 3" heels at 5'7" and still could trip over the back if I wasn't careful, so a bit awkward for dancing. The color is great. Would wear again.

LOVED this necklace! So many compliments!
It's true that it's not super comfortable, but it's not so uncomfortable that you notice it much. Any discomfort is far outweighed by how nice it looks. I received so many compliments, and loved the way it completed my look.

Cute, subtle
Nice earrings, don't really "pop" like I'd hoped they would. Still, pretty and comfortable.

LOVELY dress! Very comfortable!
This dress is just a classic. I received several compliments, even though it's quite a simple dress. Wouldn't call it a stand-out (it's not very flashy), but it fits really well with semi-stretchy material and a great cut. Flattering, easy to iron, comfortable to dance in. Overall lovely. My husband was a BIG fan.

Great piece! Very pretty.
Had to straighten it out a bit (no "heavy" centerpiece means it slides around a little) but really liked it. Would wear again.

Dress was nice, although not a showstopper. Needed ironing after shipping.
Fit well, as described. Dress arrived very wrinkled and needed some careful ironing before it was wearable, so be sure to allow time for this if you're traveling to your event.

Extremely tight in the chest.
I typically wear a size 4, so with the instruction that the dress ran small rented a 4 and a 6. Neither fit; the 6 barely zipped around my chest and my C cups just spilled out over the top. Not ideal. Dress was lovely, but for me unwearable. Recommended starting a size larger and getting a backup size that's two sizes larger, if you have any kind of a chest.

Compliments from EVERYONE: guests, venue staff, wedding party.
The day after the wedding, the groom's mother said "Oh you're the girl in the dress we were all talking about." I typically wear a size 2 but wore the 4 because the 2 was tight in the ribs (but this is not an unusual problem for me... Probably my ribs, not the dress). Length was perfect with heels. Dress was comfortable, and in good condition.
