The pictures do not do this dress justice. You have to try it on to see just how stunning it is. I got it in purple and will be wearing it the night before my elopement in Maui (though I was tempted to wear it as my wedding dress). This dress gets advertised as a more matronly dress, but it actually has a youthful princess look to it as well. I'm 32 and look much younger than my age, and I love this dress. If you want to look stunning, feel comfortable, in a dress that's not too revealing, you should try this one. It does run big so you may have to get size or two below what you're used to getting. I'm 5'7 and 149 pounds, curvy, and got a size 6.

This is THE dress...mother of groom in September. Had ordered size 18, it fit but sleeves a little too short for my taste, plus the length was perfect so no extra fabric to work with to add length to sleeves. Reordered in size 16W. Fit was perfect....needed to take about 4 inches off of length which gave fabric to work with on the sleeves. Loved the fabric!!!! If you can get past sleeves....it is great choice. Navy color, fabric is very rich looking. Great service from Nordstrom’s....needed to return 5 other dresses before I decided to try this “short” sleeve number....they could not have been more gracious with the returns!!!!

I had ordered 3 other dresses from a popular online fancy gown website and disliked all 3. I was running out of time and saw this dress from Nordstrom. I took a chance and am SO glad I did! They delivered in under one week and the dress fit perfectly, in my opinion. It was very comfortable and we danced all night! Just for reference, I’m 5’10” and 180 pounds. I wore 2” heels and the dress did not drag on the ground. I’m very happy with my purchase and am grateful that I found it.

I love love love this dress! At first I was hesitant because the reviews were not good. However I purchased the dress anyway and boy was I glad I did. I am larger bust with a small spare tire around the middle. This dress hid all of it. I felt like a million bucks! It also has such a great wow factor. Everyone loved it and I felt so pretty and never self conscious. I wear a true size 20w so I purchased a 20w. It fit me excellent!!!

I love this dress. It is elegant, lightweight, and sparkly. I wore a beautiful diamond necklace that followed the shape of the neckline with dangled earrings and it looked great with the eggplant color. I am 5’4 tall and I did have to shorten the hem, but it was easy since it was one piece of material. It was comfortable since it has some stretch to it, but it still showed off my curves (in a good way). Best of all, I felt young in it!

This is a gorgeous dress! The color is stunning (it is deeper than pictured) and the scattered, iridescent sequins give it just a touch of sparkle! It comes in navy, too, but I am partial to the eggplant. It is a very simple style and the rosettes are really what makes it stand out in a crowd. It is also very comfortable! I would highly recommend – this dress won’t disappoint!

This dress REALLY is amazing! I ordered five other dresses for my daughter's wedding and sent them all back until this one! Say yes to this dress! The Blue-Purple is a beautiful dark periwinkle. I went up a size, and it pulls right over my head and flows like I'm Cinderella. SO comfortable for us 50+ 5'4" moms.

This dress is better in person than in the picture. Just enough detail and beading. I am on the shorter side of petite - just 5' and it does not need to be hemmed with 3" heels. So if you are taller, you may need to buy a regular size, not petite. Would love it down one size, but unavailable.

Found the perfect mother-of-the-groom dress. Comfortable, very pretty without being over the top. Love the embellishment on the dress and the scattering of a few sequins to give it just a little bit of glamour.

LOVED THIS DRESS SO COMFORTABLE AND FLATTERING 0NLY NEEDED HEMMED -DIDNT NEED STEAMED AND LOOKED GREAT THE WHOLE DAY AND ITS MACHINE WASHABLE TOO

Beautiful dress that fit well and is well made.

The dress is so elegant and fits very well. I will definitely give the rating of the dress what it deserves. Ordered two sizes off line to see which one fit the best. Took both dresses to Dillards in Columbia SC. When returning found out one of the sizes was reduced tremendously. I wasn't allowed by policy and the manager by the name of Nikki to get a price reduction. Was told the dress had to be held 24 hours, ask Nikki if I could come back to pick up the dress the next day at the reduced price. Talking very loud and rude in front of customers she told me she didn't know when the dress would be put back on the floor, she was busy. Leaving, I went by to pick up my shoes and ask the sales lady to check the price in the system , it rang up at the discounted price, but… it wouldn't allocate when placing the order. Now, I'm with no dress and at the mercy of this woman putting the dress back on the floor for my grandson's wedding. Called for a week and was told the dress was still in Nikki's office. I then ordered a second dress on line at the regular price, took three days to get to me. Had to take the other size back, there was the dress for the reduced on the rack a week later. I purchased it, again, I brought back the second dress I had ordered, leaving this dress to go back on the sales rack at the reduced price . This cost Dillard's a huge loss of over 300 dollars because this unprofessional manager wasn't looking out for her company and definitely not the customer. Moving forward I won't be dealing with Dillard's with the way I was treated at this location. I feel very discriminated, coming from Arkansas I feel like this would have never happened in Little Rock. Nikkie's regional manager needs to take a real good look at this woman that has been given the title of a manger. Feeling very discriminated in SC .

This dress fits true to size. I wear a 6 in everyday street clothes and bought this in a 6, accurate sizing. The dress is long, I'm 5'7" and will be wearing 2.5" heels to avoid hemming. I'm using it as a wedding dress. Great value and gorgeous. Like most dresses with sequins, plan on some falling off here or there. The gold is a perfect color, cool good and not so yellow gold, so be mindful of that, depending on what you are looking for. The dress is lined and a little heavy. I was worried about the fit through the shoulders and arms since it has no stretch and I lift a fair amount of weights, good arm room. I plan on shinning, literally in this dress. I hope you buy it and shine too!!! Good luck!

This dress is much cuter in person than the pictures online showed it. I originally bypassed it looking at the pictures online but then saw one in the store and tried it on. It fit so well and looked extremely flattering on! I am super happy with this dress. I am around 5'4" and weigh around 150lbs; I bought a size 6 and it fits perfect. Even my friends said "Wow! That's a nice dress!" when they saw me wearing it. I must be shorter than the model in the pictures because the length of the dress trails on the floor a bit for me creating a little train effect. Overall, a great dress.

Very comfortable modest coverage gown; I wished it came with a coordinating cardigan or shawl. You may need a special bra or not; the dress is padded in the chest area but, no support. Pantyhoserie with midriff/tummy control really makes the elegant/modest-sexy look but, the material is thick enough to go commando! It's a taupy-earthy, grey color which, is hard to match accessories with; I went with black accessories and I think soft silver fabrics would be okay too.

I just bought this for my daughter's Miami wedding in September. I'm 5' 10" and the length is nice, it fits true to size and the sage color is very pretty. It's more lightweight than some of the dresses I tried on and I don't want to melt in the Miami heat so this is a much better option. I like the shear overlay, hides a 65 yr olds arms. 😂. It will look nice with silver sandals and silver blingy jewelry.

LOVE the dress! I am 5'4" tall and weigh 120 pounds (age 68) and the small fits perfectly and drapes beautifully. A very forgiving dress. I never have bought a floral dress before but needed one for a gala with suggested attire "garden party formal." This fit the bill and I like it so much I plan to wear it to two weddings this summer. It shipped promptly so I had it with time to spare before the event.

Love it!!! I chose this dress to wear to my daughter's wedding. It is so beautiful. I needed no alterations. I had been looking at this dress online for months and kept putting off ordering it and then I went to Dillard's to return another dress I had ordered online and this dress just happened to be there. I tried it on and the search for my mother of the bride dress was over. 😊

Love the fit,color and material of the dress. The only reason I did not rate five star because I did noticed some shedding of the glitter sequence from the dress when I tried it on. I need to have the length altered because I need to wear dressy flats with the outfit. I'm asking the seamtress is there something that can be done or sprayed on the dress to stop the noticeable shedding of the glitter sequence. Maybe cleaning before I wear will help!

My daughters wedding is not for a year but in a simple google search for Gold Mother of the Bride dress this photo came up and I loved the style. I ordered it and simply love everything about it, the fabric is beautiful and light, perfect for our Texas June wedding. The style is very flattering and the color is beautiful. So happy I found this dress.

It's a very elegant, comfortable dress at a great value. I found the sizing (a 12) to be perfect. I'm not sure that it is *the* dress for the wedding, since I just started looking, but it's nice to know I've got a good option with this one. The buff color is perfect and looks nice with the rose gold and cream glitter on the capelet.

Beautiful blue fabric & beading. Love the 3/4 sleeves. Ordered petite in size larger than I normally wear thinking hem might not be too long. Mistake. Too big in shoulders & overall. Would have reordered in correct size & kept but found something I liked better. Was a strong contender in my search for the right dress.

Cannot thank the special lady who helped me with this order. Received the dress and I LOVE it. Beautiful and fit perfect! Just had to have it cut off and hem couple inches done and perfect. \I would recommend this dress in any color you might need. It's absolutely beautiful. Thanks again for the awesome help🥰😄🎉

This is an absolutely stunning dress. I purchased for my son's wedding. The only thing I will clarify for future purchasers is that the underlay color is actually a champagne/blush-ish color not pink. I almost didn't purchase because pictures online made it appear pink. Length and fit were perfect! Very beautiful.

This is a beautiful dress, which I shall wear to my niece's wedding next month. I did need to buy a slip to wear under it, as the skirt is very slightly translucent. Were the wedding not out of doors in the late afternoon, with the sun close to the horizon, I do not think that it would be a problem.

This gown is simple yet stunning. It is high quality construction and of a heavy enough material with lining that allows it to hang nicely and skim the body. The gathering helps emphasize your waist while hiding any tummy bulge. Just a classic elegant gown that will turn heads! Thanks Ralph Lauren!

This dress is flat-out gorgeous! I bought it for a formal wedding in a few months, and I can't wait to wear it. The fabric is smooth and has a nice weight to it. The ruching is just enough to be a little camouflage for a tummy. I'll add diamond earrings and a brooch, with silver sandals. Perfect.
