Stunning
Just received a few dresses including this one. The packaging was beautiful and the dresses were hardly even wrinkled. This dress is gorgeous!! I am usually a size 8 at Anthropologie but I am very curvy especially in the bust so I ordered a 10. It fits so well...is so flattering and beautifully made. The bodice has just enough structure to give you a beautiful shape without feeling confining. The neckline is so pretty and the bow makes this dress!!! It actually makes my chest look smaller and I feel that I will be so comfortable in it. I love the color!!!! I will have to have it shortened since I am not 10' tall but I expected that.

Absolutely perfect!
My mother, sister, and I all squealed with delight as we opened this gorgeously packaged gown. It is all I wanted, and even surpasses by expectations. Firstly, a few reviewers state that the dress is "tan". While not a bright white, the taffeta has a warm, luxurious, natural ivory hue that feels very vintage and VERY bridal! The 7th and 8th images of the dress depict the true hue very well. It is the exact hue of my flower girl dresses, which is a welcome bonus. It's also perfect for my olive complexion and dark hair. I am rather short and very curvy, and this dress definitely accentuates my assets and drapes so very well. It will need to be hemmed quite a bit but that was to be expected. I love the bow, the straps, the gorgeously detailed back - everything. I am very well endowed and was worried about showing too much cleavage and do not have that problem at all with this dress! I am as pleased as punch!

Gorgeous--but not quite right
I adore the style and shape of this gown. However I decided to return it--the color is definitely tan, and not what I associate with bridal. Also, it definitely shows cleavage (more than alterations can fix). If you are OK with the color and are smaller chested (or don't mind showing off your bosom), then this would be a great dress.

Perfect gown for my wedding day!
I purchased a wedding dress over a year and a half before my wedding thinking it was "the one." Well it wasn't... and when I first got word that Anthropologie was launching BHLDN I resisted getting interested because I knew I would be abandoning my first dress for one featured in BHLDN's first collection. My prediction was correct, because the moment I laid eyes on the Sweeping Taffeta Ballgown gown I knew it was the one I wanted. I had some initial difficulties with backordering and shipping but BHLDN customer service was amazing and I would recommend a gown from them based on that alone.
The gown arrived in an adorable square box and from the moment I took it out and put it on I was in love- it was just as gorgeous in person! I agree with another commenter that the color and shape are more true to the longer haired model than the model with the hat on her head. It is definitely a "vintage cream" color and will suit people whose skin is very fair (like mine) and gets washed out by pure white.
I ordered the dress two sizes too big in order to have extra fabric to make small sleeves. I believe the dress runs pretty true to size though, because the size 12 dwarfed my size 8 frame and it eventually had to be taken in three times because I was a size 4 by the time the wedding rolled around. Only one word of warning, this is NOT an easy dress to alter. My seamstress said that she has never seen a dress so intricately sewn in the back and that if she didn't know any better she would have thought the dress cost a lot more as a result.
Overall I could not have been happier with this gown and how beautiful I felt in it on my wedding day. People are STILL talking about how unique and beautiful my dress was weeks later. It is the perfect combination of vintage and modern and is "princess like" without being too over the top. I am overjoyed to have been a BHLDN bride and I couldn't have imagined wearing any other dress on my wedding day.
