Beautiful dress, only wish it comes in Size 0

"Although I had to return this product, I would like to write a review on it as a way to express my satisfaction with David's Bridal top-notched customer service. The only reason I had to return the dress was because it was too big for me otherwise I thought it was a very beautiful dress that can enhance your curves really beautifully. The inner layer of the dress is flexible and it stretches to take shape of your body. It is a dress for practical brides who do not want people to trip over the train and yet have a dress that looks elegant and classy. I would recommend this dress to anyone that likes it or is on the fence about it -- if you find one of your size and like what you see, get it! It will really work :)"

LOVE it!
Date:March 5, 2012
"This dress is beautiful and totally perfect for my October wedding in Puerta Vallarta on the beach. I decided to buy online because dress shopping in the stores can be so overwhelming. After reading the others reviews and falling in love with the dress, I figured why not order. When I took the dress out of the box and tried it on, I fell in love. I haven't tried any other dresses on but this one was love at first site. I ordered it on a Monday and it was delivered on Wednesday. I have slight alterations that need to be done but PERFECT! I decided on the ivory because I thought it would look warm against my tan skin and it is great. Not to dark. Definitely worth the value and I am so happy I bought it!"

"This dress was perfect for our Hawaiian beach wedding! It is even more beautiful in person and not cheap looking at all! I did have the bust taken in a little on both sides just so it would lay flat..but I would recommend this dress to anyone..classic, sleek and comfortable!!"

Dream Come True
Date:November 17, 2011
"I love this dress! I am a size 18 in this dress and it fits like a dream--I am 5'7" and I normally wear a sz 16 jeans and am big busted--38DD but this dress is wonderful. The length and everything works great--no alterations needed. I wanted a dress that wasn't poofy or dramatic--this is simple, elegant, and understated. So classy--so my style! The material is quality and is a bit stretchy so it forgives a lot--just going to add a good bra and spanx and I'm ready to walk down the aisle and marry the man of my dreams! I'm pairing with the basic blusher veil and a borrowed tiara from a friend. Excellent--I would highly recommend to any girl looking for a great dress at a decent price. No need to pay an exorbitant amount for a dress--this dress is right on the money for the quality and style. Nothing cheap about it at all."

"the one" for me
Date:November 9, 2011
"This is the dress I will be married in! Fit all my requirements: mermaid, flattering, no train, light, comfortable, affordable.
The top of the bodice poofs out a bit too much at the sides, so I will get someone to take it in, but otherwise the size 10 fits perfectly (i'm normally a size 8, but the sizing chart for this dress was accurate)
I think it will totally suit our semi-formal oceanside wedding. Simply lovely!!"

Date:September 20, 2011
"My husband I never had our dream Wedding being we got married on his R&R and we will be Renewing our vows in Jamaica next month..let me tell you I have looked at 100's of gowns and they have all been either too pricey or weighed way too much for a Beach Wedding..
I ordered this gown Sunday afternoon and it arrived today:) of course I IMMEDIATELY pulled it out of the box and put it on, it is WAY MORE BEAUTIFUL then in the pictures!
I ordered white and it is very nice because it is not that shiny white that is common in Wedding gowns..I also ordered 2 sizes larger then my everyday size going by measurement and that is the ONLY issue as I do have to get it taken in a bit!
THANK YOU SO MUCH to all who have posted reviews prior to me as it helped me pick this gown and for Davids for having such affordable gowns that are BEAUTIFUL!"

"I love the look of this dress! I was going for an old Hollywood or classic vibe and this fits the bill nicely. It was so AFFORDABLE too! It will definitely need a slip though. Fits just right; I used the sizing chart and it was exact.
The online pictures don't do it justice. I attached pictures so you can see just how beautiful the detailing is. Excuse my armpit and messy house in the pictures, lol."

"i loved this dress it was perfect for my june 11th beach wedding! i agree with the other girls about the dress being flattering and also it is not a bright white dress. (my something borrowed with my best friends veil and it was ivory and matched perfect). it was lightweight and very comfortable. i got lots of compliments."

"This is just the kind of dress I was looking for! Classy, simple but beautiful, and figure flattering. This dress fit perfectly according to the size guide: no alterations needed except perhaps a hem (I am 5"3). The other reviewer was right in that the white color is not a harsh stark white. I was happy to see that the beading is more silver than the goldish tint on the pictures. There was one small issue: a part of the gathering at the breast had come loose from the base, but that will be an easy fix. The bottom is a bit see-through so you will need to wear a slip. I am very happy with my purchase! A beautiful dress at a great price!"

FABULOUS DRESS !!
Date:May 4, 2011
"I hesitated buying a dress online without being able to try on first, but I am happy I did! It fit perfectly, hiding some curves I didn't want to reveal. It is very slenderizing and flatters my 5'-7" figure. The fabric is high quality, and has a little spandex which strengthens it. The rouching is just perfect both front and back and the gathers at the bust are very flattering. I then purchased a beautiful slip to fill out the skirt bottom, and although the ad shows the dress without, it just finished off the dress. I am very happy with both products I purchased ad David's."

"I ordered this dress online after trying on about 20 dresses in one of the David's Bridal stores. When I received the dress and tried it on it fit perfect everywhere except my bust. It shows curves you didn't know you had. There was only one problem, I ordered the dress in white, took it to the local David's Bridal to get shoes and it didn't match the white shoes at all. Tried an Ivory colored shoe and it matches perfect. I sent it back thinking I would get a white dress, nope It's the same color Ivory. Other than that it is the perfect dress."
