I'm shopping for a mother of the groom dress for an August wedding in SC. So far, this is the most flattering dress and the very best value. I ordered it in 3 colors, blush, sapphire blue, and navy. I'll be going with the navy as it is a true dark navy but still blue. The blush was more on the beige side with very little pink (think skin color), the sapphire blue was pretty but was more purple than blue. I wear a size 10 or 12 petite, 36 D and the 12 fits me perfectly. I followed the Ever-Pretty sizing chart and went by my bust measurement. At 5'2", I'll have to have the dress hemmed as it is about 4-5 inches too long. At first, I was put off by the beige mesh under the lace but truly it becomes invisible when you are wearing the dress and it gives the neckline some structure. Love the built in bra cups and, unbelievably, the dress looks fine without a bra as the empire band and bust area is very fitted. I disagree with the reviewer who felt this dress was not flattering on those with larger busts. Only negative is the fabric is just OK but definitely on par with bridal shop dresses. Overall, this is a lovely and feminine dress at a great price.
