Beautiful Dress -
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this dress for an upcoming wedding. I bought one size smaller, and it fits great. The dress is well made. Nice traditional look in front but with a trendy fun touch in the back with the visable zipper. I will definitely be able to wear this dress for other occasions.

Very Simple Dress, Except for Zipper!
Ordered the 14W, the dress was bigger than the size chart indicated at the bust, waist & hips, by approx 2" everywhere. The neckline is not at a flattering location on me. The "Guava" color is like a cantaloupe color, which I found also unflattering. The exposed two-way zipper was also not to my liking.

Fabulous Dress!!!!!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This dress is fabulous-true to size, great quality, great fit---looks great on, and allows for great movement while wearing. Simple, yet elegant style. Be careful with the type of jewelry you wear with it though--particularly bracelets---it can get caught on the lace and pull the fabric.

Great dress, but...
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the shape/silhouette of this dress. Sadly, this dress is made from polyester, like every other dress on the market, these days. I really wish Adrianna Papell and so many other designers, would get away from making everything in polyester!! Polyester does not breathe and is extremely uncomfortable to wear. I don't love the lace edging on this dress, either. It looks cheap. And, I would love to see a zipper, if it is showing as pronounced as it is on this frock, to at least, be in gold. Let's hope Nordstrom's Buyers will take all this into consideration. It is also my hope the designer will see this comment, as well.

Little black dress
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Gorgeous! Loved this and the zipper goes most of the way down the back - it's fake past the normal zipper spot. The dress wasn't enough a line for me - I'm a 18W so I did it feel good about how tight it was ... but if you like this cute on your body you'll fall in love with this dress

Nice, elegant dress. However, the giant shiny brass zipper isn't covered, and runs like a freeway up your back, which I found bizarre. And then I saw Claire Underwood on House of Cards in a dress with the same zipper, so I guess it's a thing now. There is a slight, ever so slight gathering poof where the sleeves meet the shoulders which the dress could do without, but it's still very workable for dressy occasions.
