Absolutely adorable dress - the feel of the fabric was very nice (soft, textured). This would be perfect for a spring/summer event, courthouse wedding, bridal shower, or reception. I think this would have looked better on me if my bust (34B) was a little more generous, but it wasn't unmanageable. The size 0 fit great in the bust, the size 2 fit great in the hips...if only there was some combo for that size it would have been perfect for me.

I was going to wear this at my wedding reception but chose another dress instead - it would be perfect for a reception given the right setting. I got the 0R and 4R - at 5'5" with kitten heels you could still see my shoes. I could not get into the 0 which really surprised me since I usually fit a 0 or 2. The 4 was about right - fabric is stretchy, really hugs the curves. I felt the bottom needed to be stretched out when I got it since it didn't seem like you could iron it. The top has a sticky rim to it to help it stay up, but it appeared to be well worn from use - nothing anyone could see, dress still stayed up. It is really more of a light brown/latte hue (I think "champagne" is about right) than a pure brilliant white, blue rim is more sky blue than robin's egg blue.

I wore this for my wedding reception - perfect for the warm weather, very light and flowy, fun to dance and twirl in! The top is a very deep V and I couldn't find a bra to go with it, so I just wore a grey shiny cover-up and went bra-less. Because of the style of the torso, it will not be form fitting. I did notice that the smaller size (I think I got a xs and a s) appeared more flattering on my figure, especially since I'm not very top heavy. Hemline went to just above my knees, longer than what is pictured. I believe it is more pink than what is shown in the picture, but it does have a nice shine. It will really accentuate your tan if you've got one.
