Thanks-I ordered it. Chat Icon

It's from Spiegel. I've never ordered from there, so I don't know how good the quality is, but they have a free shipping promo right now, so I ordered 2 sizes & I'll see how it goes.

And Chris-good call- Adrianna Papell has 2 very similar dresses (in blue & purple) on Nordstrom.com, but they didn't have my size.



If you don't mind letting me know how it is when you get it, I'd appreciate it.
I might actually want to order it for a wedding i have coming up- and am just curious about the quality, if it looks the same in person as the picture here and how the fit is... true to size, etc.

TIA!



Sure! I ordered it Friday night, so it should come by the end of this week, I think. Going by the size chart, it seems to run a little small, so I ordered one in the next size up too.

update for Anonttcer & anyone else who is interested:

The dress came today -a week after I ordered it.

It fits pretty true to size. I ordered my regular size & 1 up, b/c the measurements made me think I would need the extra boob room, but the regular size fits. The under layer is cut like a sheath, and the overlay is more a-line.

I am not sure if I like it though. The overlay material isn't smooth. It is a netting, like a tulle veil. It kind of reminds me of a dance costume. Chat Icon The beading does look nicer in person.

I am going to see how long I have to return it & see if I find anything better in the meantime.

Thanks for updating! I was so hoping it would be gorgeous in person- because I LOVE how it looks in the picture.
I'm concerned about what you said about the overlay looking like a dance costume though... ugh. Why can't things look like they do in the pics?? SO dissapointing!
I might still consider it though- if I can't find anything else.
Thanks!!
