Overall:

Great Color
Date:April 30, 2012
"I bought this dress for my Mom and she loves it. It does run a little big on the top of the dress. I'm not sure why, however if you are getting this dress I recommend getting alterations done. I was leery about getting the dress in the sangria color but it was an amazing beautiful, vibrant magenta color when we got it. The picture does not do the coloring justice. My Mom couldn't be happier with the dress."

Comfortable dress
Date:April 29, 2012
"This dress worked well for me - I was in a wedding party where the bride chose the color and fabric type and let us each pick the style we wanted. I picked this one because I prefer to have some straps. I ordered this dress online and it arrived very quickly. Overall I really liked it - it was comfortable, the ruching was flattering, as was the full skirt (I wore the size 18). As others have mentioned, it is definitely too large on top. I had it altered by a local David's Bridal, and they fixed it by shortening the straps and putting a stitch or two for additional modesty. This is an easy alteration and it cost $25. I was very satisfied with the results. As others have mentioned, don't buy this dress if your main goal is to avoid a strapless bra - because it's off shoulder you still have to wear one."

Does not fit well
Date:April 19, 2012
"I do not have a weird shape body, in fact I'm a size 2 and have never had issues fitting into any clothing but this dress does not look good on, at all, especially at the top. One shoulder strap was longer than the other so I HAD to have alterations. The way it sits on the shoulder is uncomfortable and just enough over where you can't wear a comfortable bra with it. I would not recommend it. Over all- thumbs down for the fit. Not flattering."

"I love everything about this dress. I wear a 16 and it flatters my curves, fully covers and supports my bust and looks amazing! I feel comfortable and elegant. It does go below my knee as I am 5'3 but for me, that isn't a problem."

Solid Dress

"I like this dress a lot, it was comfortable and cute. It didn't exactly fit at the top but it would have been all right if I had not been able to get it altered. I paid $30 to get the top adjusted to fit tighter ( i have a big bust too!) and they did it over night so I was lucky :) I ordered a size 12 and it was the right size for me. I did pay extra for expedited shipping and it got here on Teusday after ordering it Friday Morning."

uncomfortable and old fashioned
Date:June 24, 2011
"I wore this dress in a wedding recently, being told it was the kind of style that "looks good on everyone" - all 5 bridesmaids had very different bodies so this was a necessary feature. I felt it was not very modern - in fact, after the reception the bridesmaids and our dates went to a local bar and were asked several times if we were in a high school show choir. That is NOT something you want your bridesmaids to look like! And the fabric is incredibly uncomfortable for a summer wedding in a hot, humid climate since it doesn't breathe. All of the bridesmaids had the same issue of the dress being too loose around the chest and the crossover neckline hanging lower on one side - the bride's mother luckily was able to fix that little annoyance with one stitch on each dress. It also requires a strapless bra because of the slightly off-shoulder straps. Ultimately, the dress really didn't look that good on any of us, except the one bridesmaid who truly has a perfect figure. It made our hips look huge, and for the bustier girls it was EXTREMELY low cut - I wear low cut v-necks all the time but this just felt trashy, not to mention made finding the right bra even more difficult. And seriously, this is so NOT the "you can totally wear it again" type of dress. This is just not a very good dress, and if you love your bridesmaids you shouldn't make them wear it!! It's a good thing the bride is a friend who I love very, very dearly, because I wouldn't have suffered in this dress for anyone else!!!"

Beautiful dress
Date:September 30, 2010
"I have a fairly large wedding party, all are shaped very differently and I was originally going to have them all pick different cuts, but one color, because I didn't think I could find something universally flattering. However, this style is great for almost any shape and the deep purple color is beautiful"

"I 'd been searching all over for the perfect dress. I found it at David's Bridal. I ordered it on Friday, it arrived on Tuesday. The fit was perfect. Their sizing guide really works. I am a very happy "matron of honor". The only drawback of the dress is that it's very low cut. So I'd suggest grabbing some double stick tape. Enjoy. Thank you David's Bridal. One more happy customer to add to the list!!!"

"I had 4 bridesmaids for my Zurich (Switzerland) wedding, and they were all different heights and sizes, so I was so pleased when I found Davids Bridal. I was able to tell the ladies that they could choose any dress, so long as it was in truffle! I gave each lady a pink pashmina shawl and it meant we still kept the wedding theme.
The Davids Bridal consultant was excellent at supporting us on the telephone and recommending the correct sizes, as we had to order everything from Europe!!!!"

Just Right
Date:January 22, 2010
"This dress fit perfectly! It really flatters my broad shoulders and small chest (two things that usually make clothes-shopping a nightmare). I used the sizing chart, ordered two and returned the larger (although they both fit pretty well): with this style, your bust measurement is the most important. I'd say it's true to size, and the color is beautiful, even a little richer (re: darker) than shown online.
Shipping was fast, and the return policy helped a great deal: us girls across the country got our dresses without much hassle.
Can't wait to wear it in the wedding—then I can show it off elsewhere too!"
