"Well, when I first went to try on dresses, I didn't think I was going to actually leave the store with one. I tried on several fit and flares and halters, even empire waisted dresses. I really had lace in mind due to our venue but my mom said I want to see her in a princess ball gown (the vision she's had in her head since I was born). I said ok, ma if it will make you happy. When I came out in this dress, everyones eyes lit up as did mine when I stared at my reflection! We bought the dress that day and never looked back. Only thing I wish it had was a corset back, but I am getting one put in :) This dress hugs in all the right places and hides all the less flattering."

Absolutely love it!

Date:March 29, 2012
"Stopped in to Davids Bridal a month ago just to look at dresses to see what my options were. Kept going back to this dress on the rack without even knowing it. My sister had me try it on just to "see". Fell in love with it after putting the full bridal slip under it. Made an appointment for a month later to try on for my mother, future mother-in-law, and all my bridesmaids, and they loved it just as much as I did!!"

BEST. DRESS. EVER.

Date:February 16, 2012
"I was prom dress shopping a few years ago with my best friend and I spotted this dress and it was my size and I knew I had to have it. Now here it was, 4 years later and I'm shopping for my bridal gown. I go into David's Bridal knowing that I'm going to try on that gown and they happen to have it in my size in stock. When I try it on it is even better than I remembered it! It is the most gorgeous dress, and despite looking for years at other potential dresses, nothing else measures up! Can't wait to walk down the aisle in it on May 19, 2012!!! :)"

MY DREAM DRESS

Date:February 8, 2012
"I recently just purchased this dress on Feb. 6, 2012. I actually went to Davids Bridal with my heart set on another gown however the consultant pulled this gown just as a back up. This dress made me feel like the Queen I am and it also gave me that hour glass shape, over all this gown is just beautiful and I feel beautiful in it. I recommend this gown to any bride reguardless of your body shape it is well worth the cost!!!! Can't wait to wear it for my future husband on our wedding day Sept. 29, 2012!!!!"

A Winner!

Date:January 29, 2012
"I went into David's Bridal on January 28th, 2012 petrified that I would not be able to find anything that fit my bigger busted hourglass shape. This Oleg Cassini gown was the seventh one I tried on, and as I stepped onto the circular stand I knew it was the one. The detailing is exquisite and it made me feel feminine and beautiful. I just know that my husband to be is going to love this gown when he sees it. I recommend this gown to all busty women out there, it was the one for me!"

LOVE THIS DRESS!!

Date:December 8, 2011
"Like everyone has said, the picture DOES NOT do this dress justice. It is so beautiful. My mom and I both knew we wanted ball gown, princess, and a very sparkling dress. What we could not agree on was the train...needless to say this dress met both of our expectations. I tried this on an instantly knew that it was my dress, my mom cried and I said, "let's try on more." Not being the emotional type, well...I tried on about 5 more dresses and finally came back to this one, veil on and flowers in hand I walk in this dress and bawled my eyes out. It's a beautiful dress, give it a try...you will not be disappointed."

"I saw this dress online and knew I had to have it. I tried on a few others but none compared to this dress. I love the beading on the bodice and on the train and it is just a beautiful ball gown. I definitely felt like a princess!"

Made me feel like a princess!

Date:July 24, 2011
"Im a full figured girl. Size 22. When I went in today to look for my bridesmaid dresses, I decided to try on a few dresses for myself. Little did I know I was falling in love with this amazing dress that made me look amazing. I felt like all eyes were on me, I felt beautiful. I got it in Ivory and the color just popped beautifully. I love every thing about this dress. It was out of my price range, but im SO glad I tried it on, I would have never been this happy in any other dress. (:"

"This picture does not do this dress justice!!! I am a plus size bride size 22 and this dress slimmed me down and showed off my curves in all the right places. I loved what it looks like on and I never imagined that I would wear a ball gown on my wedding day! I could not be happier with my purchase!"

"I cant express how much I love my dress. I am a plus size woman and was worried about how I would look in any dress, but this dress made me feel amazing! Everyone said how beatiful the dress is and how amazing I looked in the dress. The picture does the dress no justice at all! The beading and crystals just sparkled in the light! I am so happy I found this dress! My husband was very happy with my choice too!"

The one...

Date:May 23, 2011
"My mom and I went shopping for a dress because we received a coupon at a bridal show. Not expecting to get anything. We basically made the appointment so we could have the coupon. I went in thinking I was going to get something very simple and plain. I'm a very plain girl, never wear dresses or skirts. My mom saw this dress in the catalog and encouraged me to try it on. I came out in it and I liked it but wasn't too sure because I like another as well which was completely different. I tried on the dress again, came out and my mom began to cry... I cried with her and knew it was my dress. I cannot wait to wear this for my wedding, it feels good on and for extra comfort I'm adding a simple satin strap to make it a halter top dress. The detail on this dress is amazing, online does not do this dress justice. Go try it on! :)"

I love this dress

Date:January 14, 2011
"I've never been a girly girl and even though I've been married for almost 9 years I had never tried on a wedding dress. When I tried on the first dress I was overwhelmed because I actually had on a dress. But when I put this dress on, I knew this was it. After I put it on for the third time the head seamstress came over and pinned up the back so I could see how it looked with the bussle effect and I knew I had made the right choice. Now I cant wait until next year so I can wear this dress because I know it is the perfect one for me."

The perfect princess dress

Date:December 29, 2010
"I had been looking at dresses online for weeks and weeks and finally I took my list of favorites to DB, not planning on buying, just looking. It was actually on Black Friday, and I did not have an appointment, but the staff treated me like I was a celebrity and took very good care of me :) I tried this dress on first and it was love at first site, but I knew I had to try on more dresses, I couldn't just pick the first one I tried on. I kept going back to this dress with every dress I put on. So I ended up putting this one back on, twisted my hair up, stuck in the veil and I had "the moment" :') and I never cry, but I did :) The detail and beading in this dress are beautiful and the train is very long (the train tucks away in the dress; I didn't want a long train but it looked wonderful) My dress was ordered, and was supposed to come in February, but it was delivered before Christmas! :D Merry Christmas to me! Good luck finding your dream dress!!! I can not wait to wear this dress on my wedding day!"

I love this dress even though......

Date:December 2, 2010
"I have Tried on this dress over and over and loved it so much everytime that I never wanted to take it off. The other day I had received my dress and I went to pick it up. The girl unzipped the bag so I could make sure it was the correct dress and correct size. It was all correct so I left with the dress in hand. I passed it over to my mother to take to her house and when she got it home she opened it to make sure everything looked right. There are black marks on the front of it. I am so upset. A brand new Oleg Cassini and there are marks on it. My mother has called and they are willing to try and clean it and if not replace it. I just want everyone to check their dresses before they leave because that was the mistake that I made :(. I still love this dress though!"

My Princess Dress

Date:November 26, 2010
"I don't feel like the picture of this dress does it justice. I thought because I was a plus sized woman that I couldn't get a princess type dress. I tried to settle on something a bit plain. But when my mom saw the dress I picked before this (and I'm glad she said it), she said "absolutely not! That is not the type of dress I pictured my daughter wearing to her wedding." So we searched some more and after 3 trips my mom wanted me to try this on. I thought because of the ornate-ness and fullness I would look like a whale. However, the dress was beautiful on me. My mom started to cry! It flares out much more than this when on, it enhances what you want enhanced, and minimizes what you want to minimize. Just as another commenter said, it had everything my mom AND me wanted! The gathered skirt, jewels and sparkle, and princess written all over it!"

This Was My Disney Dream Dress

Date:April 20, 2010
"I went to Davids Bridal On March 14 20,10. I thought I found the Dress, However When I tried them on for my Father I did not like the way they lookedl My older sister, Who is my Maatron of Honor saw This Dress on another Bride and Said She Wanted me to Try it on. I did and When I turned around to see I began to Cry. I found my Dress. It Had to be ordered in my size, so I was told it would take 15 weeks. to my Suprise it Came in 3 weeks later. This Dress is Absolutly Perfect, Ecerything I was looking for. A sweetheart/corset top and a pick up skirt. I love It I cant wait to wear it."
