Love this dress.

Pretty Dress - Runs Small

The dress is pretty and the emerald color is really nice, although maybe a little brighter than a true emerald. The velvet is stretchy and seems like it will be comfortable. I sized up based on other reviews and am glad I did because the waist seems really small. The other reviews are also correct that the bra cups are very crooked - nothing a seamstress can't fix. I'll also have this shortened (I'm 5'4 and it's very long). I am disappointed in the shipping - I had to pay to expedite despite ordering in mid-November for a mid-March wedding. Luckily it came earlier than the quoted times but it still seemed kind of crazy to have to pay extra with that much time.

Slightly too small

On the sample dress instructions, it was said that sometimes the dresses get stretched out from people trying them on. Which I understand, but I didn't expect there to be this much of a difference. The sample dress fit me a little loose so I thought this would be the perfect size, comfy but still look good. However, the dress I received is very tight is some areas. I will definitely have to invest in some new spanks. Also, one of the boob pads is sewed in way lower than the other. I will have to get that fixed. Overall, I LOVE the dress style and the color, but some issues with sizing and the pad insert. Fixable, but still present.
