I really loved this dress - it's more gorgeous in person than online. It fit great overall, except it was a little tight in the bust. Had I gone up a size, it would've been too big everywhere else. I probably could've gotten it altered but didn't have the time before the gala I intended this dress for. I'm tall (5'10'')" and the dress barely grazed the floor - would've had to wear flats with it, FYI.
I got this dress for a wedding in Newport. The dress exceeds all expectations and is absolutely stunning. I received so many compliments while wearing it and it was a huge success. I didn't want to take it off at the end of the night. It is such an elegant gown and very well made. The rose detailing is beautiful and subtle in person. The shape is extremely flattering. I also loved the bodice of the dress, I didn't need to wear a bra at all and was completely supported. I highly recommend this dress, it's breathtaking and timeless and you will definitely want to wear it again.

I purchased this dress online for my wedding reception in October. It's simply beautiful. It also fits perfectly except that I'm only 5'1" so will need to get it hemmed just like every other long gown I have ever worn---short people problems---AND the sizing is a bit small---I'm usually a size 2, but the size 4 was perfect The sweetheart neckline is perfect for someone like me who is smaller up top, and the ribbon detail at the waist makes the waist appear tiny. The top is secure such that I don't feel as if it's going to slip down despite it being strapless, plus it gives sufficient structure that a strapless bra won't be needed. I ordered both the 2 and 4 and was able to return the 2 at a Nordstrom Rack close to me instead of having to drive farther to get to a regular Nordstrom store. I also believe that the price is fantastic---I founds lots of picture online of brides who purchased this in white and were raving about how inexpensive it is compared with traditional wedding dresses. Who would have thought that an online formal dress purchase would be the perfect fit?
