    This is the dress I've been waiting 3 weeks for my girls to try on. This is my MOH below, she is naturally busty so it looks a little too top heavy on her as this is not her size (its a sample) and she said it was seriously padded in the cups on top of her being blessed. 

    What I would like to know is how this dress comes across? I'm not completely sold on it, all my girls seem to like it but 4 still have to try it on (2 this weekend, 2 next weekend).

    I do really like it. It is too low cut though...too much boobage. But getting it altered should fix that! :D LOVE the color but I am bias, those were the colors of my BM dresses

    I love the color, and love the "flowy" material.  But to me, it needs more coverage.

    I haven't seen it in person yet but MOH said that if the padding came out it would cover more. It won't be that color, it'll be turquoise.

    I would wait to have the other girls try it on.  This looks like it could either look great on your girls or not so good depending on their body types.

    I think that it could be nice if it is the right size and there's no side boob issues.

    Love the color, but the dress has no structure, so I don't think it's very flattering.

    I honestly don't like it at all.

    The bust is cut very strangely and I don't like the gathering between the boobs.

    I'm glad to hear that won't be the color, because it comes off a bit prom Barbie (especially with her blonde hair :))

    I can't tell if it's strapless and those are her bra straps or if it has ligheter colored straps.

    I do like the soft flowy fabric, and how it nips in at the waist, but overall I think it looks a bit cheap, but that could be partly the color.

    What about the iridescent chiffon from Watters?

    Sorry, I don't really like it. I find the shape strange, the cut of the bust odd, and the fabric a bit too muu-muu-esque.

    2 of the other BMs tried it on yesterday and it looks fabulous on them. It looked better on the other 2 than the MOH but it was also the wrong size for all of them. With regards to the MOH, she is very busty naturally and so we would order a bigger size to fit her chest then have it taken in in the waist. It does come with straps, she was wearing them in one picture and would wear them for the wedding. She did also have a bra on which doesn't help the busty-ness situation since that was adding more padding to the chest area in the dress. She said there are pads in the chest of the dress already that add a lot of fabric so if she was to wear a bra with it she would take those out or not wear a bra and leave them in. We have 2 more girls trying it on in the next week and will make a for sure decision by the end of the week but so far its looking good.
