"This dress was so beautiful and worked well with my small frame (I'm 4"11). I was married on April 21, 2012. It was nearly 90 degrees that day and this dress was so light and airy that I didn't know the difference. I received so many compliments. The quality is superb and the dress looks much more expensive than it is. I wish I could wear it again."

Stunning!

Date:April 6, 2012
"I purchased this dress in March for my July 2013 wedding and I absolutely am in love with it! The detail on it is soft and feminine. I love the way the organza ruffles around the bottom. The buttons at the back are gorgeous. I just love everything about it! I got it in the soft white and added a floral sash and its perfect. The picture does not do it justice at all! I cannot wait to wear it next summer!"

"Love! I am about 5'9 or so with a 36" natural inseam. Mind you, I wore about a 4" heal for the ceremony--never been so happy that i ordered that extra length! Fits so well! Strongly recommended for a woman with a few curves!"

"I wore this dress for my January wedding. loved every detail down to the little buttons. I felt beautiful, and the dress photographed wonderfully on the wedding day. The French bustle looked fantastic with dress and was so easy to dance in. I wish I had another occasion to wear this dress"

"I have seen this dress on line. I could not order it because I am in Australia. I asked my friend in Atlanta to go to the store and have look at it for me. She came back and told me that it looks good. She bought it for me and send it to me in Australia. The dress is not just good, it is excellent!! And it looks much better than I expected. The lace and the beading are not well captured in the photo on line. The dress is very comfortable and really classy. The finishing and the lining are perfect!! I normally wear size 8 but I ordered this dress in size 10 and it fits perfectly. I am going to wear mine without a sash. It is perfect as it is!!"

LOVE IT!!!

Date:March 9, 2012
"This was the first dress I tried on, and it is perfect! I love the lace, and small pearl details. At first I wasnt sure how much I liked the sheer at the bottom, but it definately makes the dress! It flares out just enough to give you a mermaid feel without the dress being overly dramatic. This is a beautiful dress and the picture does not to it justice. I wanted a little more to the dress to so I added a sash, and it really tied the whole thing together! So happy I found this dress and thank you to the wonderful consultent who helped me! :) Cant wait till September!"

"I just ordered this dress in white, they only had soft white in the store. This was the last dress I tried on after a very long night at Davids Bridal, and I can not wait to wear it! It is very comfortable, charming, beautiful, elegant, classy, and ect., ect. I can not say enought about this dress. The buttons in the back are adorable, the lace is just right, and there is just the right amount of beading. I never thought I would pick a dress like this, but once I tried it on, I knew it was the one. I actually bought a different dress before this one, but I think I felt rushed to buy one, so I was not careful with my choice. I am so gald I thought about it and found this one instead. The girls at Davids were GREAT!"

Beautiful fitting dress

Date:February 12, 2012
"I am 5'4 and somewhat curvy and was very against anything strapless. My mom picked this out for me to try on and much to my surprise it not only fit but flattered my shape. The top come up high enough to not be revealing and the silhouette is pretty. The photos do not do justice how truly gorgeous this gown is. The beading is subtle and elegant, the lace is very modern looking and the bottom is absolutely stunning. I can't wait for my September wedding!"

"This is a beautiful gown. I am not a fan of lace. However, I tried it on just to please my consultant and I feel in love with it. I am so excited and can't wait for my husband to be to see me in this gown. He will be speechless. The details are excellent. My parents love it also."

"I live in Vancouver BC .. and I had tried on about a million lace gowns... most of them were absolutely gorgeous .. and I would have been happy to wear them .. but boy were they pricy... so we thought hey we know that we love a couple so we will love more lets go look in at David's Bridal ... My friend grabbed the dress and I wasn't wowed... but I put it on and I had never felt so beautiful. I am having the top changed to a sweet heart and wearing a hot pink sash with a flower on it on the big day.. I cant wait to wear it... it was just soo different than anything else I had tried on .. and its light and comfortable.. the beads dont cut into your arms like many of the other lace/beaded dresses do.. LOVE it cant wait to wear it and when it is all fitted!!"

"The Most Gorgeous Dress I've Ever Seen"

"I went into David's bridal with my mom and my dad, and I had a different dress in mind that I adored I have always liked lace and girly details, but never any sort of pouf. The first three that I tried on were pretty, but didn't give me that "bride moment" that every girl wants, so I just kept saying that I'm not going to settle for anything less than the best. This dress was the fourth dress I tried on, and as soon as I put it on, I wanted to show everyone. I walked out of my dressing room and my mom said to me, "that is the most gorgeous dress I have EVER seen." I felt like the most beautiful girl in the whole world. It is a perfect dress! I cried and got to have my "bride moment". The photo doesn't do the dress justice one bit. The dress is light, comfortable, and ultra-feminine without all the fluff.The little buttons and gathering in the back put just the right amount on emphasis on all the right places :) I'm not a very curvy girl, but this dress makes me feel like a woman. I couldn't be happier with my dress and I cannot wait to wear it in July for my hubby-to-be. Thanks, David's, for making my dreams come true."

Best Dress Ever

Date:January 16, 2012
"I had initially brought my favorites from the David's Bridal website and was set on first trying on those dresses. The first thing done in my bridal dress appt was to get a tour of the store which I am SO GLAD I did because it was there that my sales consultant showed me this dress. Initially I had thought it was too much poof at the bottom so I dismissed it. But when both my parents and sister encouraged me to try it on I did and it was perfect. It looked completely different on the hanger; I was glad I gave it a chance. It had the simple beading and lace I was looking for and had a nice subtle "cloud" as the consultant called it at the bottom. It will look much better fitted to my size as the only size they had was a size up from mine. Another plus was that I went during a sale and so got $200 off the original price. I am so happy I found this dress and cannot wait to see the final product!"

Amazing Dress!!!!

Date:January 7, 2012
"As soon as I put this dress on I knew that it was "THE DRESS". I had tried on 10 dresses that day and this was the last one! I am a curvy and busty size 12, and I have always been scared to try on any form fitting dresses. This dress fit my curves in the right way and made me feel absolutely beautiful! I added a headpiece that we made into a sash to show off my waist...and that was the perfect finishing touch! I couldnt stop smiling at myself in the mirror and I didnt want to take it off to try on any more dresses! I cannot wait for my wedding so that I can wear this incredible dress!"

"After trying on 50+ dresses i thought i would never find the one for me. When i saw it in the magazine i wanted nothing to do with it. When i zipped it up and it fit like a glove i knew it was the one, but something was off, I added a red sash and it made the dress complete! I cant wait for my September wedding so i can wear it :)"

"I tried on a couple of dresses..what's wild is the 1st time I had tried it on the size DB has was a bit large and I wasnt a huge fan of the sash...I dismissed this dress then. A few weeks later I went to DB again in a different location and asked the consultant bring me a random laces dress. Initially I didnt realize that I had tried this on already. It wasnt until I had looked through a few pictures that I realized I had. I was stoked! With the new sash and accurate size I could see how beautiful the dress actually was! It feels great, looks great and is gorgeous!!! I am in love with this dress and I can not wait for my husband to be see me for the first time in it, as I am walking down the aisle."

Beautiful Dress

"It is an exceptionally beautiful dress, with inner structure. The bottom makes me feel like I am floating. The only way I would have been happier is if this dress had a lace-up back."
