This was one of four dresses I had ordered. The color is a deep eggplant, which was one of the colors in the wedding. It is made well and was comfortable. With all of the beading, it was difficult to get the dress on as it has to be pulled over the head. Was heavy with all of the beading. For my taste, it had too much beading. The dress was a little too embellished, although I believe it would be fine for the mother of the bride, which I was not. It was a tough decision, but I returned for a lighter colored, less beaded dress.
The detailing on this dress is amazing - very, very high quality. Runs a bit snug, but is stretchy; for a loose flowing fit order one size up. The only downside is that it's a bit scratchy under the arms from the beading.

I found this dress online when searching for a 1920's or Flapper style dress for my upcoming Gatsby theme company holiday party. I liked that it was a different color for a cocktail dress, was sparkly, and covered my upper arms and knees. It arrived very quickly and fits perfectly. It is so comfortable, too. I can't wait to wear it at the party.

Perfect Dress on Short Notice !

Needed a formal dress for a work event with only 10 days notice. As a petite plus, it's hard to find affordable dresses but the Nordstrom search engine makes it super easy. The beading on this dress is exquisite, the flutter sleeves hide heavy upper arms discretely, and the a-line skirt is flattering to a plus size figure.
