"I fell in love with this dress but was nervous about ordering online. I went into the store and tried on similar dresses that were twice the price! I couldn't get this dress out of my head so I went ahead and ordered it in my regular size.... it's gorgeous!! It's perfect for my small, outdoor wedding... so light and the pockets are awesome!! It might not fit someone with a large chest, but that is my only negative comment. I can't wait to wear my dress in Sept!!"

"I live in the middle of nowhere and it's at least a 4 hour round trip to get to any bridal shops. I took a chance and ordered this dress online and I'm so glad I did. It runs true to size and the only alterations I'll need is a hem. I'm planning on adding a fuchsia crinoline for a pop of color. This dress needs a crinoline because it tends to lay a bit flat without it. I'm so happy I took the chance on this dress, it certainly looks like a much more expensive dress."

"I was looking for something inexpensive for our vow renewal next month. I tried a few dresses on at Davids and knew to buy up two sizes just to be on the safe side. I just got the dress this evening and think it will be perfect for our destination vow renewal in the oldest town in the US, St. Augustine Florida. I couldn't be happier. <3"

Pleasantly Surprised
Date:October 14, 2011
"I saw the dress before I saw the price and fell in love twice. I was nervous about purchasing it because there are some mixed reviews. I consider myself to be somewhat of a snob at times and was worried the quality of the dress wouldn't be to my standard. I was very surprised when the dress arrived. It's very simple and elegant. The flower looks a little cheap but can be replaced easily if you'd like (I'm not). It's somewhat true to size, I ordered a 10 and it's a little snug but I'm probably only 3lbs from it fitting perfectly. I can definitely see why it's not for chesty girls. I've just returned to my post breastfeeding size of a C and if I had my former DD's I would have been spilling all over. Also, white is not a pure white it's a bit of an off white but I'm not complaining. Definitely love the dress and I can't wait to wear it in 4 weeks!!!"

Very Nice- but not for girls with a large bust
Date:August 31, 2011
"Absolutly loved this dress very simple and elegant. LOVED the pockets....but my 36DD just did not want to stay in this dress even if I had alterations I would have been popping out all over. I was sad that I had to return this one, but much better for a girl with a smaller chest."

"This is the 2nd dress I got for my wedding, as the 1st one wasn't me, I kept looking. I did have to go 2 sizes bigger, most all dresses I tried on I was a size 8 and this dress I took a chance and ordered a 12 since davids can size up to 2 sizes down and I am a D cup. Fits perfect in the chest, and around my waste and hem will need to be takin in. No biggy. Its beautiful! Lightweight, flowey and easy to move in. My wedding is June '12 and its what I wanted more. For the reviews of this dress not being good for chesty girls, its just fine, just go a bit bigger. The material is beautiful as well. And the flower doesn't look cheap as I have read on a couple reviews. I say take a chance, you have 14 days to return or exchange. I can't wait to wear this dress and marry my bestfriend!!"

Dream dress for my dream wedding

"I found this dress online and really liked the pictures. I was nervous about purchasing a dress that I had never tried on before so I made an appointment and went into the store to try on some similar dresses. I first tried on one with a sweetheart neckline like the one this dress had. I liked the dress but the bottom was too heavy. After that I tried on one with a similar bottom but it did not have a sweetheart neckline. I knew that this was the dress for me-- it was the combination of all of my favorite parts of each dress. I ordered it on a Sunday and it arrived Wednesday morning. I am so happy with my purchase. It's gorgeous. It is lightweight and flowy. It fits me perfectly, I need no alterations. I can't wait to marry the love of my life in my dream dress at my dream wedding."

pretty dress
Date:July 22, 2011
"this is a very pretty dress, but I had to buy 2 sizes larger than normal. I had purchased a different dress at Davids Bridal before this one and that style was true to size. This one was not. I am a bit larger in the chest so if you are too, you will probably need a larger size than usual. as a second warning: the second dress i purchased here had a black stain on the front, so check your dress before you stick it away in the closet (you only have 14 days to return)."

very cute but small
Date:July 21, 2011
"I absolutely love this dress, it is adorable. I was given a dress by a family member that was beautiful but so heavy i couldnt imagine dancing in it all night. So i bought this dress to change into for my reception so that im still in a wedding dress but its lighter. My only issue is that it is small, my other dress is a size 18 and is large on me so i bought this one in the 16 and it wouldnt even zip! Luckily since the price was great i dont mind the cost of alterations (~$150 to add a lace-up back) if i need to but im hoping to lose weight before the wedding next June."

Love It!
Date:July 20, 2011
"When I started looking for a wedding dress, I knew I didn't want to spend a lot of money. It's crazy to me the amount some brides spend on a dress they are going to wear for only one night! I started looking online and found a dress I loved on another website for $2,500. I couldn't get myself to spend that much money, which is when I stumbled upon this dress! It is almost identical to the other dress I loved for a fraction of the price. I ordered it, thinking I could return it if I didn't love it. I received it in the mail after just a few days, and immediately I knew I loved it. The ivory color is gorgeous, and I love the pockets. It's comfortable and light, which is great for my summer wedding. I'm a little bummed it doesn't have a train, but since I will be dancing all night it would probably have ended up being a hassle anyways. I'm going to have it altered to keep the back a little longer so it's like a mini-train. The flower and rouching are very flattering and the sweetheart neckline is perfect for my smaller chest. I can't wait to wear this dress on my wedding day!"

Dont waste your money!
Date:July 15, 2011
"At $179 I didnt expect this dress to be of great quality, I intended on customizing it and adding some layers but the fundamental problem is this dress is really badly cut and has no shape to it. I paid over $100 to have it shipped to the UK .....big mistake dont waste your time or money this dress is cheap and it looks it."

Just OK Overall
Date:July 12, 2011
"Overall the dress would be great if you want to personalize it. Great if you have a small budget, or if you want a nice dress that you can get a little dirty without worrying about it. The dress made me look a little wide (preggers). I'm a triangle body shape, athletic build, and 5' 1". The flower looks and feels plasticky, but it would be easy to change it. The quality/construction is okay. The fabric is a little thin. With natural light you can see the pockets through the fabric. However, it's very light, and airy. It would need a slip like other reviewers say. It is true to size. Didn't fall in love, so back it goes. Hope it works out for you!"

You Get What You Pay For
Date:July 1, 2011
"I bought this dress online without seeing it and had very mixed feelings when I got it. It was a great deal, $200, but I felt like the material looked just a little too cheap. I LOVED the pockets on the dress. I thought that the top fit well, but it didn't look as full as the one in the picture does. The flower looks cheap too, but it's fine from far away. Overall, the style is great and it's comfortable. It's worth buying if $200 is your budget, but if you have a little more money I would splurge on better fabric."

"This was my second dress I ordered through davids bridal. I was so anxious to get this dress in. I was so worried about this dress since I had already purchased a dress online a week prior and completely hated it on me. This dress is so STUNNING!!!! It fits perfect and I don't think I could be happier in any other dress. I GOT THE FEELING IN THIS ONE. It gives me the look I was going for and I can't wait to walk down the isle in this dress in 10 days!!!"

Date:June 29, 2011
"I ordered this dress expecting more than I got. The flower looks cheap and the skirt doesn't hang as well as it does in the photo. It seems to be a little "poofier" in person, due to the pleating. The sweetheart neckline is beautiful, but the flower cheapens the dress. I ordered a 6, which I normally wear in bridal, but it was too small."

Stunning!
Date:June 23, 2011
"This was the second dress I ordered online and after the first one was a total bust I was anxious about this one! It is stunning! The fit is great, the material smooth and velvety and great for a hot summer wedding and the ivory color is just so favorable on my lighter complexion! I am/was a streetsize 10 but as I ordered the first dress a 10 it was way to big so I ordered this one an 8 and behold it actually needs to be altered to a 6. My problem area is the hips, but they aren't an issue with this dress so when ordering make sure you go by actual chest and waist size and order according to those measurements! It fits nicely as an 8 but having it altered smaller makes me more comfortable with it being strapless, plus as an added bonus I get boobs which isn't the norm for me to have :) It makes my waist look tiny and my shoulders look toned and its just all around a great favorable look on my body. You could say I'm more on the alternative looking side with tattoos on my chest, arms and back, but this dress makes me feel like a princess without being cheesy. It's sexy and flirty but also a little edgy and definitely not your normal everyday wedding gown. I dressed it up a bit by adding a puffy underskirt to get the look you can see in the picture and I also added a silver and pearl brooch from the david's bridal salon inside the flower to glam it up a bit. Add red shoes and I have my dream wedding gown! I am so happy with this purchase and can't wait to wear it all DAY and NIGHT at my wedding! My fiance will have a hard time getting me out of that dress because I love it THAT much!!"
