This dress is gorgeous ! I purchased this dress to wear for my city hall wedding and it fit the occasion perfectly ! The photos do not due it justice ! It is very wel made and a lot more chic in person. The detail is just awesome and the length was exactly what I wanted around mid calve . The bottom flares out slightly which gives it a nice touch. I hesistated on buying my actual size a 10 , due to previous reviews about the dress running big but after reading some more reviews on the Nordstrom website I decided to try the 10 and it fit like a glove ! Could not have been better ! Don't deter from getting your size!
