Ok dress...

Date:May 16, 2012
"I recently wore this dress for a wedding in the pink. The dress looked nice on the thinner girls, but really did nothing for the girls who had curves. The dress has pockets which are a nice feature, but do not help out a girl with wide hips. The slit that goes up the back will make anyone paranoid. Many of the girls had the slit sewn up. When you sit down in this dress is a little shorter than appropriate for a wedding, and even with legs crossed it was very easy to look up the skirt. Overall the dress runs true to size. The material wrinkles easy so be careful."

"We got married in Coronado, CA on the beach. My girls were from literally all over the country, and all shapes and sizes. This dress looked wonderful on all of them and was extremely budget conscious.
I would highly recommend this dress for any casual easy going wedding or formal event. It was fun, young, and as cliche as it sounds easy to wear again!!!"

"Zipper not the best! I ordered one and had to send it back because it would not zip. After receiving the second one I discovered it was a flaw in the dress zipper itself."

Cute, but...

Date:April 5, 2012
"I only have 2 bridesmaids, but they live on opposite sides of the country. One is 5'7 and the other is 5'2. I chose this dress because it would flatter both girls and could be used again (they're black). I saw the dress on the shorter of the two girls and it looked wonderful-it was the simple, elegant look I was trying to achieve. However, my MOH ordered this dress and when she tried it on it was bad news. On the back view of the dress on the website, it does not show a slit in the back. I didn't notice the slit when my one BM tried it on because the dress was so long on her. On my MOH, the dress came about 4" above her knees and the slit came up to, for lack of a better term, where the Lord split her. Literally. Luckily, I found a long version of the dress and had my MOH order it. She was lucky enough to get the last one in her size since that version was on clearance. Now she just has to get it taken up."

Terrible sizing

Date:April 4, 2012
"I don't know if it's just this dress or all of David's Bridal's dresses, but the size wasn't anywhere close to true. I normally wear a size 10 (size 12 on a bad day), and I followed the size guide to make sure to order the correct size. I ordered a 10 based on the size guide, and the dress doesn't fit. I sent it back and ordered a 12, thinking I was having a fat day. The 12 is nowhere near fitting. I'm going to have to order (I'm guessing) a 16 to get it to fit. Talk about depressing! Not that there is a thing wrong with being a size 16, but for someone who normally wears a comfortable 10, it sure doesn't make me happy or excited for the wedding.
Plus, the zipper is dung, like everyone else has said.

Nice dress

Date:March 22, 2012
"I chose this dress because the ruched waist gives any girl the illusion of curves. Unfortunately one of the dresses I ordered came with a dysfunctional zipper, return is in process.
I would highly recommend ordering online if possible. The dresses came in less than a week - much quicker than the 3 months they required to purchase in stores. I was already under that timeline when I ordered, so it was nice to have the dresses and get them to the girls within a week."

A perfect "wear again" dress!

Date:March 8, 2012
"The main thing I was looking for when I picked out my bridesmaid dresses was one that they could not only look super hot in, but also wear again. Most of the Bridesmaid's dresses are pretty but let's face it, you'll never wear them again. My bridesmaid tried on several pretty dresses, but none of them quite fit the bill-- our consultant picked us one last dress and...we both fell in love with it! It's very sexy, yet classy and fit her like a glove! It's perfect for my beach wedding and cocktail reception. We're getting this dress in Marine and accenting it with a pale yellow ribbon."

Great dress

Date:February 17, 2012
"I have 6 bridesmaids and of ALL body shapes and sizes, from a size 2 to 18. I told them they could all wear different dresses just as long as it was the clover green because I wanted them to be comfortable with the dress they were in. One girl tried this on and all the girls loved it and all ended up getting this dress. I am having a casual outdoor wedding in August so this dress was perfect. I think it might be a little short for a formal wedding but it fits perfectly for mine."

good dress for a formal wedding

Date:February 4, 2012
"Originally for my girls i have
4 bridesmaid . 1 maid of honor
i told them that they can wear any style dress just the same length and color.. for the bridesmaid they are wearing clover and my moh is wearing rose petal pink
two of my bridesmaid love this dress now they are short so the bottom it a lil bit below the knee and i always wanted to tea length but when they put the tea length dresses on themselves the girls that were 5'1-5'4 tea length looked like ball gowns so i was a bit nervous of this dress becuz of how short it is in the picture but when they tried this on at Davids bridal is was perfect. the two girls loved the way that the dress fit them and the clover was divine! i'm so excited that also my other bridesmaid wants to get this one as well. it turned out perfectly. over all this dress is really pretty also a plus pockets perfect for those cell phones or eyeliner.. this dress is really pretty and i can't wait to see them all pretty in it

"This dress looks cute and comes in cute colors. The fabric is flattering. I am a size 12 and just had a baby. It fits okay if I don't move. The zipper stinks. You can see the seams. But my main concern is sitting and binding over to fix the bride's dress during the wedding. I am going to talk with her about maybe getting another dress. I will not mind paying more if it means I don't moon everyone during the wedding."

So-So

Date:January 14, 2012
"The dress is very comfortable and the pockets are fantastic!
However, the zipper is very temperamental and broke on a fellow bridesmaid's dress with ease before the wedding date.
Also, the dress is somewhat short for a formal wedding. I felt out of place wearing such a short dress while sitting during the ceremony in the pew as well as taking our formal pictures while sitting on stairs was nerve racking.
It is a great dress and can be worn after the ceremony but keep in mind its length if your bridal party will be sitting in any public locations throughout your ceremony, reception, or photo sessions. And consider having a few zippers handy in your to-go bag on the day of!"

"My bridesmaids were originally all planning on getting different dress styles in the same color, but we got to the store and after they all saw this dress on my maid of honor they wanted to try it on too. It looked wonderful on all of them! Very flattering on my short/tall/petite/and fuller figured girls. We went with marine- very pretty color."

"My bridesmaid, Jenn, is very petite. After trying on dozens of dresses, all of which would require various alterations OR did not come in the our color "Fern", we were about to give up and pick an alternate color. We discovered this little jewel of a dress...the charmeuse fabric is so reflective that it made "Fern" look both rich and almost regal AND not only did it look gorgeous on her, it has POCKETS, too! Serendipity!!!"

Good Fit For Everyone

Date:November 30, 2011
"I am currently one of six bridesmaids for a wedding next year. It was INCREDIBLY hard to find a dress that looked good on everyone. We've got short girls, tall girls, medium height girls, and we all range in sizes. We tried on dress after dress after dress and then we finally found this one. It looked great on EVERYONE who tried it on! It fit well, it was a great style, and made of great material. I would definitely recommend this dress to anyone who is looking for bridesmaid dresses!"

"Our wedding was in July 2011 and I had 6 bridemaids, all ranging in different sizes and heights. All of them loved this dress and wore it in Jade! After having them ordered in April 2011, reviews began coming in on this dress and all of them complaining about the zipper.. we did not have a single zipper problem at all! My gown had a sweetheart neckline so this dress with its slight sweetheart neckline complimented my dress nicely. I let the girls have their dresses hemmed above the knee and I think they fit their bodies a lot nicer once they did. You do have to watch the slit in the back; however, you have to with all slits!
Another plus was how cheap this dress was! You will not find a better deal.
I would definitely recommend this dress to others! It seems to be a popular pick this year so far."

"My younger sister got married in June 2011, and I got married in August 2011. While we were both planning for our weddings (her in NY, me from FL), we inadvertently chose the same dress for our bridesmaids! Her color scheme was black with pink / lime green / watermelon / purple accents. Her BM dresses were black, and the girls all had a different colored sash. Me, being her Maid of Honor, had a black sequin flower sash. The sashes were a really cute accent to these dresses. This dress is fantastic! Us BMs ranged from size 4 to 12, and it fit us all wonderfully. My only issue was that I had to go a size up because it was super snug in the armpit/bust area for me, but fit perfectly everywhere else - also keep in mind I'm a small chested A cup. No problem though, the bigger size was just a little bit looser in the bust than I would have liked - but I was comfortable! We all LOVED the pockets! Perfect for tissues -which I totally needed - and lipgloss! This dress is the perfect length, and is super comfortable! It is a great dress to dance in. Lots of leg room, and not constricting at all. The 4 of us were Dancemachines! I can't wait to wear this dress again; it's a perfect "Little Black Dress." I would definitely recommend having a steamer handy, because if you don't keep it perfectly hung, it can easily wrinkle.
My BM's dresses were Horizon Blue, paired with silver heels (white flip flops at the reception) and their bouquets were very complimentary light & dark pink & orange flowers. My 7 BMs ranged from size 4 to 10, 5'2" - 5'11", all different shapes. This dress fit them perfectly, and was flattering to them all. They all looked so stunning! The Horizon Blue charmeuse was absolutely beautiful, and photographs very well. They too loved the pockets, and loved the comfort of the dress – especially sitting and dancing! This is most definitely a dress they can wear again!
Reading the other reviews, I think the people that were having problems with the zippers and saying how short they are were wearing a size too small for them. I could have easily gotten my normal dress size (and been uncomfortable in my armpits for hours!) but I got a size bigger, and it was perfect! No one knows your dress size but you, and when it fits better, you look better!
I COMPLETELY RECOMMEND this dress to future Bridesmaids! It’s comfortable, super cute and flirty, and you can wear it again! Both sets of BMs received TONS of compliments of how beautiful they looked! One BM was in both of our weddings, so lucky her has two of these dresses in Black and Horizon!"

Amazing Dress

Date:September 16, 2011
"Bought this dress for my sister's wedding, love it, wear it all the time, LOVE THE POCKETS. they fit just enough in there, small camera some tissue, lipstick: you name it. The only down fall of this dress is when one of the other bms ordered it a size too small. When we tried to get her into the dress, the zipper ripped out. Its not the dress' fault, just poor planning on hers."
