very pretty, as expected.
just received my dress. i ordered a size 4 according to my measurements and it's perfect. I think the length is very good. It is supposed to be tea length, not just below the knee. Before altering the length i would recommend to think twice and check out audrey hepburn pictures. tea length should be between mid calf and the ankle. The fabric is a little more shiny than i thought. The zip is poor quality, i struggled to zip it up even when the dress was on the hanger. Overall i'm very happy with my choice and feel very lucky that it fit!

Love it!
I absolutely love this dress. This is one of the first ones I saw when I began browsing, and even though I explored other options, I kept going back to this one. The detailing is incredible in person and it is made with a high quality fabric. It is even more exquisite in person and the picture does not do the dress nearly enough justice. The reviews said that it runs small in the top. I am pretty small on top already (34B), so I ordered my normal dress size of 4, but it was slightly too large, so I had to have it taken in a bit. I also had to have the hem taken up because it was too long, but post alterations, the dress is perfect and incredibly flattering! I can't wait to wear it!

Beautiful Dress
Like most of the reviewers, I agree this is an adorable dress, and I got the sling backs the model is wearing, which makes me the perfect height to avoid looking too bottom-heavy with the crinoline. The only issue now is that the bodice is quite heavy (there's a built-in bra along with relatively weighty fabric), which makes it hard to get on and off when I'm trying it on without help. The heaviness also makes it feel like the dress is slipping down, and I really don't want to spend my wedding clumsily yanking my dress up or flashing friends and family. I'm hoping to have my seamstress add some straps, but I fear that might ruin the charm of the dress a bit.

The one!
I fell in love with this dress the second I saw it online, so much so that I didn't even try another dress - this was the one! I live in the UK so ordered a size 8 and had it tailored to fit perfectly, rather than run the risk of ordering a 6 and it being too small. I did feel the size 8 was far more generous than I expected though and I probably would have been ok with the 6. I also had to take up the hem, but I expected to after reading other reviews here.
The quality is exceptional but my dressmaker agreed with other reviewers that it should have a more substantial zip to carry the weight of the fabric.
I bought the gloves to match and paired it with a gorgeous pair of Jimmy Choo Ailsa shoes. Perfect dress, perfect day!
