I dreaded the thought of shopping for a dress for my son's September wedding. I'm not a dress up sort of person. Then I found Nordstroms online. You can't beat their free shipping and free returns and the convenience of trying items on in the privacy of your own home without having pesky sales people trying to come into the dressing room w/you.
This J Kara Champagne Beaded gown is just perfect for my 5 ft height & 40D bust. I ordered the 14P and it just fit perfectly. No alterations needed once I wear my small heels (which I haven't purchased yet). I loved the higher neckline in the back and the lower neckline in the front yet still with full coverage for a chesty person, who's a bit self conscience having recently undergone breast surgery. No special undergarments needed for this gown.
In showing this gown to others they couldn't believe the reasonable price. And to think I almost spent 4 times this much on a gown from another store that needed 6 months to order and many alterations would have been needed.
Shipping was prompt and returns are so easy that you can't go wrong ordering from Nordstroms.

This dress is beautiful. Very well made, and very feminine. It does run one size large, but I knew this when I ordered because of other reviews I had read. The beading is simple, but elegant. I'm very pleased with my purchase.

The dress is very pretty. It runs a little large, I ordered a 10 and needed an 8. The color was unflattering for me. It also could be a dress for a Grandma, at least that is what my daughters said. Comfortable and you don't have to hold your tummy in the whole day and night. The beading is very pretty and flattering.
I wish they had another choice in color, I may have chosen to then.

The color was a bit darker than the photo would lead you believe, but it worked even better for a fall wedding. Being a tiny bit large leaves room for adjustments, better than to small.
