"This dress was the second dress i tried on. Trying on two after, this was the only one I could think about. The beading is absolutely beautiful around the waist and down the back. It is so beautifully simple I couldn't ask for anything better. I'm 5'3 and I got the petite and it fit perfectly, I didn't have to alter the length or waist at all. The only thing i did change was I had the neckline slightly changed to a sweetheart which was very inexpensive. I felt so beautiful on my wedding day and my husband said I couldn't have picked a better dress."

"This picture does not do the dress justice. It is absolutely stunning in person. I love the way it flows, and I love that it's got the right amount of sparkle. I put it on and everybody around me just gasped in unison when they saw me in it!"

AMAZING!!!!

Date:January 26, 2012
"This is the best dress. I live in a small town and tried on several dresses in several shops and knew that not one of them was the dress for me. So i went out of town to a Davids Bridal and tried on about 12 and this was my second to last one. I fell in love with the romantic beading. It is very light and soft and comfortable. It looks simple but once you try it on it is there is nothing about it that is simple. I can't wait for it to come in. I barley have to do any alterations on it!"

"This dress was chosen for me to try on by my David's Bridal consultant. I had serious doubts about the empire waist and flowing fabric on my fuller figure but she was right! It was perfect! It was the 2nd dress I tried on and I knew there was no need for another. The fit was very flattering and very forgiving! 5 compliments from random strangers in the store later, I said yes to this dress ~ after adding thin straps :)"

"The picture doesn't do this dress justice at all. I didn't even want to try it on based on the online picture. But it fit what I wanted: A-line, chiffon and empire. Looking at it on the hanger, I knew I had to try it on. It is completely stunning in person! The lace on the back is beautiful. It sinches at the waist and makes me look slimmer~!! The waist is so pretty! I wear a size 14 but I had to get a size 18 at the store because of European sizing of the dress."

"I actually passed by this dress several times online and did not think it would work for my curvy frame. It was a perfect fit and looks a million times prettier in person. The detail on the back is gorgeous and absolutely took my breath away. This will be perfect for my outdoor wedding this fall!"

"I had printed off pictures of 6 dresses from the DB website, this being one of them. The lady brought this dress out first, I tried it on and fell in love! I figured I might as well try on a few more, so I tried on 2 more and went back to this one and it was just perfect. So light and flowy and it looks SO much better in person! Pictures do not do it justice!"

Simply Beachy

Date:January 7, 2012
"This was the first dress I tried on. It fit like a glove! I'm a size 9/10 and got a size 12 dress. It is so comfy and flows like ocean waves! All the other chiffon dresses just looked like a fancy slip on me but this dress looked like a beach wedding dress. Our wedding is casual and this dress let's me stand out of the crowd... just enough to say o' yeah, here comes the bride!!"

"Found this dress on my first wedding dress shopping outing today. First dress I touched, first one I tried on, and the one I bought! Perfect fit, perfect style, perfect everything! Will look great with my cowgirl boots. Simple enough for me, but very elegant. Love it to pieces and cannot wait to see my soon to be hubby's face when he sees it on me! :)"

The Chosen One

Date:January 5, 2012
"I would had never chosen this dress, but my rep at the store chose it for me. As soon I tried it on i knew it was the one, The Chosen One. I love the look, the feel, the confort, the everything about this dress. It fits very light on the body and adds a slender look. Its very comfortable & the price is great. I would recommend anytime."

"I bought this dress on my first visit to DB. I had tried on seven or eight dresses, and had already found "The one". But, to get the full experience and have some fun, I tried on one more dress. One I would have never chose in a million years from a picture. But this was the dress for me. When I saw myself in this dress, I nearly cried. It was perfect in every aspect. I just went in for my fitting/alterations and I cannot wait to get it back. I love this dress and cannot wait to see my husband's face when he sees me in May."

i didn't pick it

Date:December 17, 2011
"My consultant Leah was wonderful! This wasn't one of the dresses I had picked for myself, she did! I'm so glad that she did since this is the dress that I fell in love with from the moment I saw myself in it. I have a larger chest size and was worried about it being strapless but it fit perfect! I highly recommend this dress!"

Love this dress!

Date:December 5, 2011
"I went in looking for a dress with straps. I never thought that I would buy a strapless dress, but when I tried this one on I loved it. It fit perfectly, and the subtle beading is beautiful. It accents the dress will not being over the top. I love the train too, and I especially love the detail on train. There is beading on the train that goes all the way to the bottom of the dress. This dress was so beautiful that I knew I had to get it!!"

wearing this dress gave me butterflies!

Date:December 4, 2011
"originally i had bought another dress from a different store, and after trying it on and wearing it a few times i decided it was not the dress for me. i went to davids bridal for the first time, and right away i was impressed with everything. my consultant pulled this dress for me, not knowing my style preference, location, or anything. i tried this dress on after about 3 dresses and FELL IN LOVE! it fit perfectly and made my mother tear up a little. i couldnt be happier with this purchase and CANT WAIT for my future husband to see me walk down the aisle wearing this dress! thank you davids bridal!"

Flattering and Chic

"I must have tried on about 50 dresses, and this was the last one I tried on. I fell in love with it because of the ruching at the bust, and the way the dress fit my body. I have always been a bit self-concious of my midsection (who isn't) so I wanted to ensure the dress I chose would flatter my most unflattering asset. This dress allows you to move, eat, and dance without feeling like you are going to suffocate! Plus, I love the way it moves when you move. I recommend NOT wearing a petticoat underneath (I felt it took away from the shape of the dress) and I highly recommend choosing a Ballroom bustle during the alteration. Because the dress has multiple layers, it really distracts from the overall shape if you choose a French or American bustle."

Beautiful and exactly everything I wanted

Date:November 30, 2011
"This was the second dress I tried on. Although all of the dresses were beautiful, this one was the complete fit for me. It was beautiful and exactly everything I wanted. When I turned around to see myself, I knew that this would be the perfect dress to match my wedding. As I turned to announce to my bridesmaids and family that this would be the one I would buy, I saw everyone welled up with tears. It was perfect. I can't wait to wear this for my November wedding."
