The picture on the website really doesn't do the dress justice! I fell in love with this dress the moment I saw it and although I had searched for others, there was one dress remaining and it was my size. I showed my soon to be step daughter who rejected every dress I showed her after which prompted me to buy it. I've never wanted an extravagant wedding nor dress and this one fit the bill perfectly. The tulle adds such a romantic touch to it and the cream color compliments and enhances my tan/olive complection so well. I was very nervous about sizing but this dress is almost a size bigger than I expected it to be so might have to take in an inch or so around the bodice. I'm 5"10 (178 cm) and it's long enough to cover my feeet and then some. Below the waist the dress is flowy which would make it comfortable to spend an entire day in. SUPER excited about this dress. If you are looking for an understated, elegant dress for a beach or garden wedding, this one is perfect!
