I have searched, ordered and tried on at least 20 Mother of the Brides dresses. From trying on in stores to ordering a few and having to send them back. I’m 5’2” and 146lbs, 36C. Everything just fit off, too long, too big in torso, to tight, too scratchy, to old lady looking. I tried dresses in size 6 to size 10. But all in regular size (not petite) I was finding most 8R fit over all the best but they still were not perfect and I was near tears. Then I seen this dress in petite and decided may as well try it. Being a petite I chose to order a 10p. Expected to once again have to send it back.As soon as I put this dress on I knew it was my dress! The fit was absolutely perfect everywhere, no alterations needed. I’m wearing a short 1.5” heel and even the length is perfect. The dress is stunning. I wanted some type of sleeve and this is perfect, and it’s so comfortable. Some dresses felt so heavy and weighted, this does not. It’s not scratchy or itchy at all. It is pull over (no zipper) but it slipped on perfectly. I did have my husband help me lift it back off over my head.I couldn’t be happier with this dress!
