Rose Garden GORGEOUS

"I just bought this dress on sale although I would have paid the full price because I absolutely love it! I bought it in the ivory/peach and in size medium, my normal FP size and it fits perfectly! Its so elegant and I like that its not just ivory and has a little peach flare to it. I styled it with rose sandals and my FP silver locket and its one of my favorite outfits! I wish I could buy it in the blue and coral now! grrr! Seriously buy this product especially at this price its such a deal!!!"

Almost right
6.7.2013
"This dress is a little strange in that it has a light, summery look but feels heavy and a bit hot, better for winter weather. For me the sleeves were too short and tight, and the not-quite-empire, not-quite-at-waist waistline made me look broad. The skirt length was good, and it feels pretty durable and well-made. However, I will be returning it due to the fit. Would probably be prettier on women with narrower waists."

Gorgeous dress

"Gorgeous dress and great fit, I am a xs-s depending, I bought a small and it fits beautifully, I ordered the navy which is pretty much the same as pictured on the web! The material is quite heavy, so definitely a winter dress. very nice quality."

Cute but NOT ivory
5.28.2013
"Bought this dress for a en blanc party (aka needed it to be white/ivory). Because of the stitching along the edges of the lace, the "ivory" is really peach so I couldn't wear it.
I got a small...I'm 5'2'' 120 lbs...and its a bit roomy. Seems like the fabric is really nice though, actually a little heavy making this dress work for winter as well."

excellent
5.20.2013
"I bought this dress a few weeks ago in the color of pink, and i love it. i tried it on and it looks great on me. i was kinda hesitant which size i should get, (xs or s) i am a petite girl, so i went with small and it looks great. it fits perfectly. not too big not too tight. if I got the xs it will still look good, but it will be tight on me and it would be impossible for me to take it off. Anyway this dress will look good when you are wearing boots. The details in this dress is beautiful and creative. what i love about this dress is that you can wear and style it how ever you want. Also this is great for wearing it in the spring and autumn/winter season."

big in the waist
5.10.2013
"The dress is pretty and stylish, but bigger in the waist than I had imagined. It's more of an empire fit on my body. I can belt it, of course, but it's much more comfortable without a belt. Short enough that I wear leggings with it, just in case. Got the navy, on sale, and it's like a faded denim color."

Ivory Color is not Ivory
5.7.2013
"The dress fits nicely! It isn't too tight or too loose; it's perfectly fit for my body. However, I ordered it in ivory, and in reality, it's not ivory at all. The dress is more like a peachy orange color. I was disappointed, but I'm going to keep it because I like the fit."

ITCHY!!!!!
5.2.2013
"Sending this dress back. Way too uncomfortable for me...it is so itchy! Also, the dress runs a bit large so if you end up purchasing, get the smaller size. The material is also thick so this may be a bad choice for spring."

"I was eyeing this dress for a while because it is so cute and even my boyfriend thought it was cute on me. However the fabric around the arms is itchy on my skin. Ok, nylon is not my kind fabric. :("

"The silhouette of this dress is perfect! The lace on the sleeves and the waist and the pleating are all just so flattering on me! And don't forget the beautiful back! I love the navy color, It's very flattering to the skin once you put it on:)"

Color not impressive
3.13.2013
"I bought this dress in the coral color and it's amazing so I decided to order it in the blue and I must say I was disappointed with the color. If it would have looked anywhere close to the picture of the product I would have kept it but it's a washed out navy looks like you washed your dress one too many times and it just gives it a different look. It was super disappointing since I had been so excited to receive it."

Rose Garden Dress
2.19.2013
"I tried this in the ivory and navy color and I ultimately decided on buying the navy color. I just love how this dress drapes on my body and makes my waist look tiny. I sized down to a small and it fits comfortable. For reference, I am 5'8, weigh 135 lbs, and have a 27" waist."

LOVE!
1.10.2013
"I love this dress! it is so comfortable. I agree with other reviewers that it wasn't super fitted in the stomach, but I felt it was more flattering and comfortable without being baggy. A great fit for many different body types. I got the Chestnut and the color is gorgeous. I'll be wearing it the rest of winter with thick tights and boots and into the spring with metallic flats."

So unflattering
1.8.2013
"I was so disappointed with this dress. The chestnut color looks so beautiful online. However, in person, it is completely different. Furthermore, the fabric is much heavier in person. So, as a result, it made my chest and hips look so large that I looked like a size 14 instead of my usual 4. The pleats in the skirt are more emphasized in reality, making you look only what I can describe as fat... I usually love free people but this was not a good buy. Instead of buying the chestnut, I would recommend buying a navy as it is more slimming."

Great Buy
12.28.2012
"I saw this dress online and was apprehensive about buying it because I didn't know if it would fit right. It is loose in the torso but if I were to get a size down, it would be too short. It is on the expensive size but I wore it to a winter dance and it looked great with sheer, black tights and black wedge heels. It is super comfortable and durable, I would definitely buy this dress again."

gorgeous dress, but not flattering on me
12.27.2012
"I fell in love with the rose color dress as soon as I saw it, and ended up trying both the rose and the navy in my usual size S. I had hoped to wear the navy to a holiday party and the rose color (more of a terra cotta really) for an everyday dress. I'm petite with a 32DD bust, and this dress did not look good on me at all. The fabric is high quality and heavy (in a good way), but made me look huge from the waist down. The waist hit above my natural waist and stood out, making me look pregnant. Had it hit at my natural waist and been more fitted, or the fabric a lighter weight, it may have worked. The length was good, hitting just above the knee, but the skirt is pretty full and added a lot of bulk. This is a great dress for someone tall and slim, or with a slender upper body. It's beautiful and the quality is excellent."

love this dress
12.26.2012
"I loved this dress the first time I saw it online, but it was sold out in my size. The second time I checked it was back in stock. I ordered the navy blue and it is beautiful! I'm 5'7 and the length is not too short. The XS fit perfect. 120 pounds 34-25-36. As others have said the waist is a little loose, but that does not take away from the beauty of the dress. It looks delicate but is actually pretty heavy and well made. Very satisfied!"
