"I love this dress! It is so comfortable and doesn't require any constricting undergarments, I can move, dance, and have fun with ease! All you need is a strapless bra and you're good to go! I wear a size 8 and a size 8 fit me perfectly. I love this dress and can't wait to wear it on my wedding day! A friend of mine said that it's plain, but it's not. I wanted a classic dress that would look good while holding my very busy brooch bouquet, and this is perfect. I also like that you can take the bow off/add sash/etc if you want. Very customizable. I'm going to leave the bow on but add buttons on the back. Love this dress!"

Perfect Dress for Me
Date:May 3, 2012
"Let me offer a disclaimer by saying that I purchased my wedding gown before I was engaged. My fiance and I had already designed and purchased the ring, but I didn't know when I'd be getting it. I was browsing dresses online and saw this one. I loved the simplicity, the cut, and the price. I was nervous that because the price was so inexpensive that the dress might look inexpensive. My mom and I went to a store to see how it looked. It was the only wedding dress I have ever tried on. It was exactly my style. Simple- no beading, lace, bells, whistles, etc. It had POCKETS. Which I think is the coolest thing ever. And I love the bow. The bussel I decided blends in with the rest of the dress so well it looks like the version of this dress without the train. It does an amazing job at flattering my figure. I am 5'9" with a very slim upper body but fuller hips. I am a size 8-10. This dress fit me perfectly in a size 8. The one change we are making is changing out the clear rhinestone brooch on the bow and replacing it with a vintage black crystal one. My wedding colors are black and white. Great, simple but still elegant and timeless dress!"

This is it!
Date:April 22, 2012
"For our relaxed-but-still-formal beach wedding, this is the perfect dress! I felt like it had an appropriate amount of princess style, while still being easy going and not too blinged out. The fabric is thick and almost matte, and will look great in the sunshine, and beside my fiance's cotton suit. The bodice is very flattering, and really enhances what gifts I've been given. The bow was kind of "ehh" at first, but it grew on me and my bridesmaids a lot, and I think I will keep it. It is easy to remove if I change my mind, just tacked on in a few places. Even with an almost empire waist, I still looked slim, but I won't have to worry about any bulges when I sit, or if I eat too much at dinner. I could move, dance, and run after my daughter in this. I had that little calm voice inside that said 'yes' when I put this gown on, and I know that on my wedding day I can be comfortable AND princessy, and not overdone for our event. Also, an unexpected plus, my daughter thought hiding under my skirt was great fun. That will be an awesome photo op!"

LOVED this dress
Date:April 13, 2012
"I wore this dress for my wedding and absolutely loved it. It was so comfortable, simple and beautiful. I ended up removing the bow and having some flowers attached. I also removed a layer of the tulle underneath to make it less poofy, but the dress is stunning as is. I wish I had a reason to wear it again :)"

27years
Delighted!
Date:April 11, 2012
"I've been married to a wonderful man for 27 years. We'll be validating our marriage in the Catholic Church in the fall and I'll also be receiving my 1st Communion. I loved this dress when I saw it on the website but hadn't seen it in person until we were vacationing in Florida in March. I had been with our daughter-in-law when she found her dress and it was wonderful that she was with me when I found mine. As a somewhat older bride I expected to find something I "liked" but not something that brought on the tears. This dress did just that! I can't wait to walk down the aisle to marry my husband (again)."

"I have been obsessing over this dress since I first saw it on the DB website. I tried it on on 3 separate occasions along with other dresses, and there was just no comparison for me. The dress is very comfy and it makes me feel beautiful just standing in it, much less how I'll feel when I'm actually all done up for my big day. The dress has so much character on its own, but everyone who puts it on will definitely bring a different kind of sparkle to it. It is classic without being too much, and it looks much more expensive than it is which only adds to the list of amazing qualities. The only change I'm making is adding a pearl brooch instead of the rhinestone one because I'll be wearing pearls, and obviously getting it hemmed. I'm proud to say that this is the dress I will be wearing when I get married."

"I just bought this dress two days ago and am so glad that I did. I had been lusting over it on the DB online site, and just couldn't wait to actually try it on. It was actually the first and only dress I tried on. I just didn't need to look anymore after I realized it was the dress for me!!! It is so comfortable, casual but just SO gorgeous. I am 5'5'' and 140 lbs with a curvy/pear shaped figure. It cinches me at the smallest part of my waist, and since it is high-waisted, it makes my legs look longer than they are, as well as hides my tummy. It is very flattering. The bow is cute and the pockets are so so cute, and not noticeable at all. I will probably remove the diamond brooch on the bow but other than that, it is the perfect dress for me. In my picture I am not wearing heels, but I plan to so that the hem hits where it is supposed to. I bought a size 8, and it fits me perfectly. I only need one alteration, and that is to bring the dress in and up a tad bit underneath the bust area so that my bra wont show in the back. I also recommend DB's strapless bras. Very good and comfortable."

"This was the third dress I tried on, and I absolutely adored it. We had our October wedding in a garden behind a museum, and this dress fit the casual yet elegant feel of our venue.
I think it looks more expensive than it is. Many of my guests assumed I bought this dress from an expensive boutique here in Savannah, and were surprised when I told them I got it at David's!"

Can't wait to wear it!
Date:February 15, 2012
"I purchased this dress last weekend and can't wait to see it again! I'm making a few changes to make it my own. I decided to remove the bow and add a taupe/champagne colored sash with an ivory flower where the bow is now. Then I wanted to add spaghetti straps and crisscross them in the back. I was looking for a dress without a train and this one comes either way. The material is not your typical wedding dress material and I love that! I completely forgot about the pockets until I read all of the reviews. It really is a perfect dress for me!"

"This was actually my second dress. I bought one from David's Bridal and then about a year later decided I hated it. Everyone at David's was really great and helped me find the perfect dress. At first I wasn't sure about this one, but once I tried it on in the correct size I kept coming back to it. It fits well. It runs true to size. It seems to be figure flattering for almost any size . It has pockets. The material is light but not flimsy. I love the style and felt so great wearing this dress! I got the bustle option that had about 12 bustle points. It costs a little more than the regular bustle, but definitely worth it!"

"I loved this dress. I was perfect. I put it on and had that "bride" moment of immediate crying! I did have to get it tailored because I am pretty tall and had to purchase a size too large. I also removed the diamond brooch and added a vintage pearl brooch in the same shape.
You will not regret this dress!"

"Absolutely loved this dress! I tried on about 20 dresses and the first time I tried this one on it wasn't my favorite. But the second time around I fell in love. I'm 5'3" and wear a size 10 (of corse, I had to order the dress in a size 12), but this dress made me look and feel thinner and taller! Super comfortable all night long...and I danced all night long!! I got it without the train and the only alterations it needed was to be hemmed about an inch. And seriously..... POCKETS!!! Need I say more?!?!"

Fun Yet Elegant

"I'd always imagined myself in an all lace, trumpet fit wedding gown until I saw this dress on the cover of David Bridal's magazine. I knew I just had to try it on. This was the first and only dress I tried on in my search for the perfect dress. It's not only fun, but it's polished and will give any bride the feeling of elegance and sophistication, while still being able to use a pocket. Never say never to any type of silhouette until you've tried it on.
I considered getting rid of the bow, and changed my mind. But for those of you questioning the bow, it's an easy snip that won't ruin the dress so you can easily personalize the dress to make it all yours. Or quickly stitch it back on if your plans didn't work out.
You can also make the dress as full as you'd like. There is already some built in tulle in the dress, but David's also offers 3 different skirts so you can pump up the volume as you please. I went with the medium fluffed skirt."

"I saw this dress online - and fell in love. It was the first dress I tried on in the store and the one I ended up purchasing.
The dress is simple, but beautiful. I had an outdoor, Colorado wedding and it was perfect.The pockets were awesome and my audience loved when I pulled my vowes out of my pocket. The dress fit me perfectly and I was so glad that after watching my wedding video, I never saw myself tugging at the dress from falling.
The dress is simple so I dressed it up with an awesome necklace.

"I tried on this dress and loved it. When I took it back for the alterations it would not stay up on me because I am so small busted. The alterations lady said that the only way it would stay up without it falling through out the night would be to add cap sleeves. At first I was upset because I loved the dress strapless, but with the lace cap sleeves and taking off the sparkle pin and adding one that matched the sleeves I fell in love with the dress, So for brides that have a 32A bust like me, you do not want to be pulling up your dress all night think about adding something to hold it up, beucase the lady said there is not waist line in the dress so your bust will be the only thing holding you up!"
