I ordered the dress in navy for a wedding and it's adorable. I'm 5'7",135 lbs and ordered a size 6. The dress fits perfect and the ruching hides any imperfections. It's the typical high quality that you expect from Monique Lhuillier and the length hits me right above the knee, making it ideal for a bridesmaid's dress (not too short but also not that awkward right below the knee length either). Definitely a dress that can be worn post wedding.
The dress arrived just days after I ordered it and you can't beat Nordstrom's free shipping and return policy.

I was looking for the perfect silver dress for my elopement to Charleston in July. This one fit the bill perfectly. The fit is awesome and very flattering even at my not so flattering parts. It's very comfortable and lightweight. The length hits right above the knee. I can't wait to wear it.
The reasons I have it a 4 instead of 5 is #1 - it's not quite a silvery as it appears in the picture, but it is a beautiful light gray. #2 - since I ordered it on-line instead of getting it in the store - I need to bring it to be steamed. It's very wrinkly. I'm hoping the wrinkles aren't permanent - some of them look like they could be an issue - otherwise it will have to go back.

I am 5'10, 38D bust, ALWAYS a size 16 dress and I couldn't even get this dress over my butt. I was truly disappointed! I even ordered an 18 "just in case" and even the 18 was too too small. This dress is beautifully made, I bought it in 3 colors the burgundy color the wine/eggplant color and and the two tone irvory/black color all three were very elegant and I wanted sooooo badly for them to fit but my tush just wasn't going to have it. My bust fit fine in the 16, a little loose on the 18, so if you are a little more full on the bottom I would bypass on this dress :-(
It should be mentioned that the Nordstrom truefit suggested a 16 would be PERFECT for me or that I could even try the 14.... LOL back to the drawing board Truefit, you failed me.

I'm perplexed by the mixed reviews of this dress. I got the eggplant and it's gorgeous. The colorful is deep and beautiful, and the quality of the dress is impeccable. I actually love the fabric and this is the only bridesmaid dress that I'd wear again - it looks like a beautiful, well-made dress and you'd never guess it's a "bridesmaid" line.
As for fit, I'm a 34DD with a small waist and I've got a bit of a curve on my hips. I usually wear a size 8 in dresses, 6 in pants. I needed this dress in size 10 to fit my bust (and I find there's plenty of structure - it holds up fantastically, which as a DD is not something I say often). The waist fits perfectly as well. The dress is just a tiny bit too big at the hips but I expected that because I'm so top-heavy. Nobody would really even notice, I think.
Maybe this is one of those dresses that varies a lot depending on the color because they use different fabric? That's the only reasoning I can think of to explain the ups and downs of the reviews. In any case, the eggplant is fabulous.
