I ordered this dress in Navy Blue for a formal costume dance - it's PERFECT for a princess. The material is beautiful and the beading is exquisite. I'm SO glad I bought it because now I have something wonderful to wear to formal events! I'm glad it comes with a shawl - I'm sure I can manipulate it and maybe tie it in such a way that I can wear a regular bra with the dress and use that to hide the straps.Now, I'm a bit short - 5'2" so I warn the shorter girls, it IS long, you will want heels with this dress. Even with 3 inch heels I'm going to have to lift it up - I don't consider this a fault with the dress though, it's probably made to like a 5'6" model.Also, keep in mind this dress comes in FORMAL sizes - whatever you are on that chart by measurements, go 2 sizes up. By their chart measurements, I'm supposedly an 18, which is the size I normally wear in regular clothes but having ordered my fair share of formal dresses and having tried on bridesmaid's dresses, I know formal attire runs about 2 sizes higher. They did not have a 22 so I went with a 24 knowing I have a friend who sews and can take it in. It will need to be taken in, but an 18 would have been MUCH too small. Again, I don't consider this a fault with the dress - that's just how formal dresses are made - it's more just info for the would-be buyer.Oh, also, it was scheduled to arrive after March 27th, but came on the 25th - fast service! :)Edit: Still a beautiful dress, but unfortunately, two days before my event when I went to try it on, the pulley on the zipper broke in two. I was unable to wear it to my event and will have to pay to have another zipper put in.I bought this dress to wear to renew my vows in, and I love it!! It was just like the pictures,but so much nicer in person! All the beading on it was hand sewn and it does come with a matching wrap(it has the embroidery and beading on the ends to match)! It is very well made. There is tuling at the bottom to give the bottom a fuller look,but don't worry,it is sewn on about halfway up the skirt onto a full length satin under layer so you don't have to wear anything to protect your legs from getting scratched by it!!!!I would definitely use the size chart provided by US Fairytailes.I did and the dress fit perfectly except the bodice, but I knew I was already going to have to have it altered.The length was perfect!(I'm 5'5" an d with 3 1/2" heels it still touched thefloor!) There is also boning in the dress to help hold it up,but it is very flexible so it is not uncomfortable.I had ordered this dress on 4-30-12 and received on 5-3-12 using the standard shipping option(estimated delivery from amazon said it would arrive on 5-10-12)!So happy I decided on this dress!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks US FAIRYTAILES for the PERFECT dress!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!added info- For those of you wondering it zips up in the back. I have had a lot of people ask about this So I figured I would add that little bit of info!!!!Black is my colour, so I was looking simple black dress for my wedding, because I wanted to feel comfortable in it. So I found this dress and noticed that it has the embroidery, but in picture it's black so I didn't pay extra attention on it. I received the dress this week and must admit that I was really dissapointed because the embroidery is made with silver and grey colour and for me that means, that I received something I haven't ordered. I'm getting married on 29th of June, which means that I have approximately one month to solve an issue with silver and grey embroidery. Maybe I made a mistake, because I didn't check the site of a seller. Maybe I would found more detailes on their site...but now it is what it is.Otherwise the dress is well made, the lenght is perfect and if you fallow tips with measurements you will definetely receive the right size of the dress.Customer from SloveniaFor the price is ok.. the material didn't look very expensive but the flowers etc are pretty I wouldn't purchase from them againThe dress was exactly as I saw it in the picture, the material is very nice with high quality detailed design.
