Huge but beautiful
6.5.2013-
"On an XS I had to take the top in by 2.5 inches on each side (I'm 115lbs). It's long -- hits the ground even with 4 inch heels (I'm 5ft5).
That said, I wore this as my beach wedding dress and it was stunning. I love it. The skirt is really short but it was perfect for my wedding"

Wedding Dress

"I bought this as a wedding dress option but did not wear it. I had ordered an XS but still very large around arm holes/ waist.
Otherwise, a stunning dress.
It was shipped rolled up in paper and in a plastic bag. (No box) For the price, I would improve the packaging for sure!"

Very Disappointed!

"I was so disappointed in the dress! I ordered a small, which fit me perfect below the waist but it was huge in the chest and shoulders. The dress sticks out terribly in the armpit area! Not flattering at all. I will be returning this dress asap!"

disappointed
3.11.2013-
"This dress is HUGE. I am 5''2, 115 lb. I bought an XS and I had anticipated the dress being a bit long so that wasn't an issue. The top portion of the dress is INCREDIBLY awkward. I took a picture of how the portion below the underarms hangs loosely off to the side (it did this on BOTH sides of the dress). For being such a small person I have a pretty large chest (34DD) but even that didn't stop the dress from hanging awkwardly off to the sides. I looked like a box from the waist up- it was awful ! The dress is beautiful and I wish the sizing wasn't so completely off. I will be returning the dress =/ incredibly sad about it."

Gorgeous but it didn't fit me right
12.12.2012-
"I love the lace overlay and the dress is beautiful. The dress is loooong, which is great for me, I'm 5'10". However, the under-layer barely covered my butt properly, at least not enough to feel comfortable. And I don't have a huge butt. I tried the small and the rest of the dress (upper portion) was also too loose. An XS surely wouldn't have covered butt at all but would have fit perfectly in the bust/arm area. So 3 stars only because of the odd fit. Alas, I loved this dress but couldn't buy it."

"I love most of FP and couldn't wait for this beauty to arrive.
How disappointed I was when it finally did.I ordered the black XS, it was not only huge but very unflattering.The lycra dress part is bulky and badly shaped and the lace overlay is wayyyyyyyyy too long.I am 5'4'' and even with heels on, I would have had to shorten it by at least 3 inches.The lace is the only nice part of the dress,the rest of it looks cheap and badly made.I woudn't even buy it in the sale.Returned!"

"I recently picked up this dress after it was returned in the store and fell in love. I bought the small black-- it fits perfectly except for one thing.. it's so long! I am 5'10" and generally have to order jeans with a long inseam, and have never had a problem with things being long before, but this dress touched the floor even with 5 inch heels on! It's gorgeous, though, so I plan on keeping it and just pinning the lace where it attaches to the bodice if I want to wear flats or shorter heeled boots. As someone mentioned before, the bodice part is a tiny bit short in the back, but that is easily fixed with a seamless slip/romper. Love, love, love this beautiful dress!!"

Beautiful piece!

"I love this dress, but it does run a bit large. I am 5'5" 120 and typically wear a S, but the small was very loose around my midsection. I had to order the XS and am hoping that it fits well....the small was a little too long, but did not experience as much of a problem as the first reveiwer did with the length of the slip in the back-it's short, but do-able. So cute with boots, great quality and so unique!"

too short in back!
10.2.2012-
"i love this dress! i love everything about it. i ordered it in ivory for my high school reunion, but was not able to keep it because it was too short in the back. the description said that it was "mid thigh". no way. in the front is was short, but i was okay with that. but the back was about an inch below my bottom. i believe that items need to be cut longer in the back when they are that short. i am about 5'9", 120 lbs with a smallish caboose. i ordered a small and the top was a little too loose but the length of the maxi was perfect. i am also all legs (36" inseam) so not sure who could wear the dress without its length in back being an issue. it is a shame though because it is so very unique."
