We all know how difficult it is to find a perfect wedding dress. This 'Dakota' Faille Trumpet Gown was the one for me! When I saw it on the hanger, I didn't expect much from it (it looked so plain and boring), but I kept an open mind and the moment I put on the dress I got tears in my eyes. It was the one!!!!! It worked perfectly for my petite frame and created such a beautiful shape. In addition, it gives you so much room for styling experiments. For example, almost any belt or veil looks fantastic with it without over accessorizing. The bottom line; if you are looking for bling this may not be your first choice, but if you are looking for an elegant and classy look you will love this dress!

Purchased this dress for my daughter with the hope it was "the one"...It didn't do much for her unfortunately. It needs a sash of bling or something. It was just too plain and she had no bust in it. It is a gorgeous gown and I am sure someone else will be able to shine in it!

This was not my first pick when I went into the Bridal Suite in Seattle. I was attracted to the big, flawy, sparkly dresses that really caught my eye. The sales associate brought this gown in just for fun and while I thought it was pretty and classic, it just seemed a little too plain - until I put it on. Once I zipped it all up and looked in the mirror, I KNEW instantly this was the one! It was so flattering on my hourglass figure, and so feminine and classy. I added a sparkly belt to still give some glamour to the dress, but all night at my wedding I felt so beautiful. The dress is a mix of cotton and silk, so it's VERY lightweight and comfortable to wear in the summer! I also loved the sweetheart neckline and the train is just the right amount of fabric without being too long. Lesson learned - don't judge a dress until you try it on!! I absolutely LOVED this Nicole Miller gown and was so happy my sales associate showed it to me!!

I bought this gown from Nordstrom (Roosevelt Field Mall) and the moment I put it on I knew this is it. It's very well made, very structured, elegant and holds your body in. There is a corset-bra inside the dress that makes your body like an hourglass. I'm 5'9 and 125 lbs, 34D. It's true classic and will NEVER go out of style. As a bride, it was very important to me to look into pictures 10, 20 yrs from now and be proud of my dress choice. I wore my wedding gown with blush sash on the waist. I looked like a movie star!!!!! The dress was such a success, florist, waiters, staff, guests and everyone kept complimenting me. I still get phone calls from people telling me how beautiful I looked. Thank you Nicole Miller for making my night so special and unforgettable! I'm so in love with this dress that I am altering it now to a shorter (cocktail lenght) so that I could wear it again.
